So a "bot" is just an account with a bot "flag" on it. And all a bot flag does is remove that account's edits from the Recent Activity feed.

Unless the process has changed, you need to have a community consensus to give your account a bot flag on the Wikia you want to use it on. Just explain what you'd be using the bot for. And You have to do that for every Wikia you want to use it on.

I also use an automater to make editing with my bot account easier, especially for things like replacing links or phrases.
