And typos aren't the only thing it could be used for, you can use it to replace pretty much anything. So if a template was deprecated so a new one could be used, the bot could be used for that. A lot of our wiki pages have intentional typo's, primarily the book pages. These would be wrongly corrected by a bot.

No, I'm sorry, but I don't agree with that at all. I know you well, and you obviously know me to an extent, but this kind of thing is only going to promote "lazy editing" and will encourage editors not to edit at all. They will simply join the chat, spam the bot with commands and not actually bother to do anything themselves.

There are very few templates on this wiki that need replaced. The only one that I'm looking to replace are the individual game quest infoboxes, and I've already configured up my bot for doing the conversion. But other than link fixing (aka, over 350-400 links) or template updates, there is no reason to use a bot and it can be done manually. So I oppose your bot on the principle that it will simply result in this wiki community abusing it to get out of actually making edits themselves.
