Would you like the ninja usergroup for when you do mass category binges? Lets you bot yourself.
I've seen others do that, but i don't know how to run bots. I'm very old school. (old dog, no new tricks and all that).

I'm a librarian wanna be. I like things in nice groups, good classification systems, so I can find them, compare them, and say "shit, we have two genesis, but no one knew it". :-)

Editing as a bot changes absolutely nothing except your edits don't show up in the default Recent Changes setting.
Ohhhh. editing AS a bot, not actually writing a bot.
sure, i'd love that. then i'd not clutter everyone's wall with minor changes.

You now have it. Like Ty said, just remember to de-bot yourself when you're done.
Ok, walk me through this (stupid as it is), i go in to change my user rights?

Go to Special:UserRights, type in your username, check the box next to "bot." When you're done, uncheck it.
last question, (and thanks), can i still talk on pages, or do i need to turn it off before?

Nope, talk page edits will still appear as bot edits. There's a handy gadget you can enable in your preferences called BotWarn, that throws up a big warning if you try to edit a talk page while a bot.
Whoops, never mind, that's not a gadget.
Oh, good. cause i was looking, and looking...
