Probably all [[MediaWiki bot]]s can be used as vandalbots, but it's true that this is not their only use. If there is a publicly available bot framework that was available when [[Recyclopedia]] was up, then, it might be plausible that someone other than [[Erik Moeller]] or [[Tim Starling]] (who had control over all such bots prior to that) launched the attacks against Recyclopedia. Given how fast they happened, and what pages they targetted, it's not credible that someone not already very intimately acquainted with [[MediaWiki bot]]s could have done it, or that someone not promoting [[Wikimedia]] would have bothered. But that doesn't have to be stated to everyone on the planet in an article necessary. There are enough reasons to be wary of those characters, i.e. [[Wikimedia corruption]]. Let's hope calling them on it, keeps them far away. There are also decent developer types like [[Brion Vibber]]. | Probably all [[MediaWiki bot]]s can be used as vandalbots, but it's true that this is not their only use.
