The bot doesn't have to run 24/7. It's enough if we run a clean process once per day.

One user-friendly option is the AWB (AutoWikiBrowser). It's a Windows program that can do bot jobs (like searching all of the wiki and doing specified edits on a whole list of pages) and can also work half-automatically, meaning the user can control every edit. You can downoad it and play around with it, but better don't make any edits if you are unsure how it works!

Another option is the pywikibot, a command line bot framework. It is much harder to use but more powerful.

As a sidenote, this bot software can run through any registered account, so they could be a dangerous weapon of spammers. A spammer could create/edit 1 page per second due to wikia's bot restrictions.
