Bots can request pages and submit edits to wikis just like how human users do the same tasks in a web browser. Because bots access pages the same way people do, they can get caught in edit conflicts, have page timeouts, or run across other unexpected complications while requesting pages or making edits. Since bots generally complete high-volume work, you should consider these situations when writing a bot.
