Wiki Monkey's functions are provided by plugins which can be operated within some particular pages in the wiki.

Editor pages

These plugins will automate some repetitive modifications of the source text of the article open for editing, as if you were performing them manually, so you will still be able to preview the changes and do other modifications before saving the page manually.

Warning: Always preview and verify the correctness of the edited text before saving the page. Also examine the messages in the log at the bottom of Wiki Monkey's interface.

Diff pages

These plugins base their actions on diff pages.

List pages

These plugins are used by Wiki Monkey's bot, which executes their functions automatically on lists of pages. Currently it supports:

  • Category pages
  • Special:WhatLinksHere pages
  • Special:LinkSearch
  • other list pages under Special:SpecialPages

Read this page for a description of Wiki Monkey's bot interface.

Warning: A bot is not a "fire-and-forget" tool, you should always make sure to keep an eye on what it is doing, since the algorithm it is using may not take into consideration particular cases that should be exempted or treated in a different manner. Also remember to examine the messages in the log at the bottom of Wiki Monkey's interface.

Special pages

These plugins just execute generic automatic functions and can be used from Special:SpecialPages.

Recent Changes

These plugins are filters that can be applied to the Recent Changes page.
