"""
This is not a complete bot; rather, it is a template from which simple
bots can be made. You can rename it to mybot.py, then edit it in
whatever way you want.

The following parameters are supported:

&params;

-dry              If given, doesn't do any real changes, but only shows
                  what would have been changed.

All other parameters will be regarded as part of the title of a single page,
and the bot will only work on that single page.
