:: As a wiki administrator, I would not be pleased to see someone creating a page on my wiki without me knowing what the deal is.  Unsolicited, non-topical content, particularly when related to an outside entity, is spam.  Plus, many wikis (including my own), implement captchas that are triggered under certain circumstances, so your bot will need a special account to reliably write to the metadata page.  Mind you, that's a step I'm perfectly willing to take for WikiIndex, along with limiting write access to the page to prevent some misguided soul from artificially inflating my site.--[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 21:27, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
