This user account is a bot operated by X! (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it.

This bot is active in the #wikipedia-en-alerts ^connect and #cvn-wp-en ^connect channels. In WEA, it reports AIV reports. In CVN channel, it talks to the bots, adding users to the blacklists

This bot also acts as a wikilinker, automatically giving an url whenever a wikilink is spoken in the channel. Channels it wikilinks in are opt-in, any admin can edit the ircwikilinkchannels line of User:X!/Channels.js (but only if you know what you're doing).

This bot can also stalk edits made to a certain page, or by a certain user. Those pages are listed at User:SoxBot III/Autoedit.js, and the users are listed at User:SoxBot III/Autostalk.js. If you want something stalked, please see User:SoxBot III/Requests.
