Wikipedians are encouraged to be bold in their edits, or even to ignore all rules. For serialized or "semi-bot" edits, however, extra precaution is advised, and a broad consensus for the type of edits you want to serialize is desirable.
This guideline gives a description of what is understood by serialized edits in this sense, explains which types of possibly contentious edits are better not serialized, and gives some general recommendations for operators and developers of semi-bot auxiliary software (note however many types of serialized behaviour can be performed without the help of software features).
