The checkpage will regulate any users using AWB (AutoWikiBrowser), a program that can run semi-automatic and automatic dependent on whether someone has a bot flag (automatic is less of a concern considering the only users on the wiki that would likely be a bot are VSTF members, if they promote themselves to clean-up spam/vandalism). AWB is one of the easier "bots" to use which also means more people can use it to potentially cause problems on a wiki. The user above may or may not have been using this program, but they were definitely using a bot or a script to replace the content on all the pages of the wiki. Having the checkpage would allow the wiki to regulate what users have the key (basically this is what the page's purpose is) to the program and limit at least some bad-intention users.

When/if the page is created, only a few users should be added to it off the bat (this page would also need to be Admin protected). There is a Fandom/Wikia bot (User:WikiaBot|WikiaBot]]) that should be on there and I would include the two VSTF members that have helped clean on the wiki (Ripto22475 and Jr Mime) just to be sure they aren't hampered to help when needed (I believe they have specific rights were they wouldn't need a program like AWB though I'd be on the safe side, could always ask Ripto22475 directly). Anyone else would need to create a discussion stating why they need access to the program on this wiki and be evaluated based on prior behavior on the wiki before they could be added to the checkpage (my recommendation).
