Belongs in help?

This page in it's current form doesn't fit well in the User help pages. It should have a {{PD Help Page}} at the top. I guess I'll add it

Information on bots is not very central to our target audience here: Project:PD help#Target readership - Normal users. Although normal users can run bots, maybe this kind of technical detail belongs in the Manual namespace. Also note the linking guidelines for these help pages (Project:PD help#Editorial guidelines) :

Create links between the pages, but avoid linking to other namespaces on MediaWiki.org. Keep the links internal to the public domain help pages, or make external links (full URL) to relevant resources e.g. on meta.wikimedia.org. This is to facilitate easier copying of the text into fresh wiki installations. Do not use interwiki links as these may not exist in the target wiki.
