 * Some things that need clearing up since the justifications are a little strange...
 * General editing -> Is for your normal account, using a bot just unnecessarily hides the edits
 * Crawling for pages to translate -> Isn't necessary as there's a list already
 * Mass editing -> Editing what?
 * Mass translating -> Typically isn't done with a bot either. Importing translations is, but since I don't deal with that you'd have to ask about that.

 * With general editing a mean automated changing of changelogs (of my mods and other mods where the mod author allows that) and such things.
 * crawling pages: The bot will have more filter methods like only from mod x/mod author y
 * mass editing: actually nothing is planned, but if someone requests a bot to do mass editing it will be able to do that
 * mass translating is an half automated task. The bot can automatically downöoad offline translation files and translate common tags like added features for changelogs. The file is given to me and I translate the rest and import it again. - Moritz30 (talk) 11:15, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Moritz30
 * Just so you know, using the API to search through pages, you can already do that without the bot group. As for updating changelogs, while I am okay with doing it automated, I'd prefer those edits not be done by a bot account. 🐇 R e t e p 9 9 8 🐇🐰 Bunny Overlord 🐰 14:41, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I know that you don't need a bot accound for searching. Just wanted to list everything the bot will be for. - Moritz30 (talk) 14:47, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Moritz30
