Yes, a bot. It will have access to everything in the wiki as its tentacles of power, and it will have lots of solid data as its foundation.

The question is, what should it be made to do?

Bear in mind that bots do recursive and/or repetitive tasks; this makes them very good at pulling data off tables and updating tables, but they are very very awful at comprehension.

The following are what the bot will potentially do:

Inject correct and up-to-date data into {{Monstats}} in the monster pages
Inject correct and up-to-date data into equipment items
Inject correct and up-to-date data into skill statistics
Customizable recursive tasks in responding to user's inputs

The last one is probably of interest to most people. What would you want to bot to do if you could insert a snippet of code in an article to trigger some action taken by the bot?
