This is a wiki robot controlled by Nat Pavasant. It isn't robot yet, right now I'll use this user to do a large bulk operations (such as category every user page). Any admin reading this page, please assign this user to bot group, to make Recent Changes page more cleaner by hide robot edit. Thanks.

Any user want to use this user to do bulk operation, password is easy to guess. If you still can't guess it, email me and I'll send the password to you. (Password is: r******i)
