Technical details
AnomieBOT is written in Perl, using a custom API class. For most access, it uses the MediaWiki API, but it also sometimes uses "action=raw" to download pages. It uses SQLite or MySQL for persistent data storage.

In addition to the standard "bot" mode which will only run approved tasks, individual tasks may also be run in a "test" mode that logs proposed edits to the local filesystem instead of actually editing Wikipedia or in an "RFBA trial" mode that will automatically stop after a certain number of edits.

Source code is available at User:AnomieBOT/source. The source may be reused under the same terms as Perl, which is currently available under the GPL and/or the Artistic License; the text of the files posted here on-wiki may also be reused per Wikipedia's licensing for text contributions.

Emergency shutoff
Individual tasks may be stopped by writing any non-whitespace content to various pages under User:/shutoff/; see the task list below for the specific page corresponding to each task. Many tasks also link the appropriate page from their edit summaries.

Exclusion compliance
This bot is an exclusion compliant bot; see bots for details.

Bot accounts
AnomieBOT uses multiple accounts for its various tasks:
 * AnomieBOT is a general-purpose bot account handling the majority of tasks.
 * AnomieBOT II has the template editor flag, and will only run tasks that require rights granted by that group.
 * AnomieBOT III is an adminbot.
 * MediationBot runs tasks for the WP:Mediation Committee.
 * MedcabBot formerly ran tasks for the now-defunct WP:Mediation Cabal.
