User:Pi bot
 | This user account is a bot operated by Mike Peel (talk). It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it. |
This bot account is run by User:Mike Peel. It normally runs on a Raspberry Pi, hence the name! User:Pi admin bot also exists.
Pi bot mostly edits Commons and Wikidata, but also the English, French and Simple Wikipedias, and Meta. It has made over 11 million edits so far.
Pi bot started operation in February 2017, and originally ran on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Pi bot was upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB in 2020 thanks to funding from Wikimedia UK, with twice yearly reporting.
