Why does Topicana sometimes categorize questions correctly and sometimes get it completely wrong?
Topicana is a bot (short for "robot"). It runs off software. The software uses an algorithm that looks for key words in the question and tries to guess where it belongs. In its early stages, Topicana got almost everything wrong (you could follow its contributions and rack up contribution points pretty quickly). It has since been improved, and it learns from our recategorizations where to put questions. It makes mistakes, but it is still learning. Give it a chance. If you find that it has made a mistake, just correct it. That is all that can be done, but it will help.

Is the user Topicana a real bot?
Yes, Topicana is a real bot; a real person wrote the software. But once it was tested and let loose on the WikiAnswers site, it has gone about its duties of categorizing questions day and night without stopping for a cup of tea, a comfort break, or forty winks. It has also taken a lot of stick from many of the human Supervisors who were quite critical whenever it made a mistake, and it made quite a few. However, Topicana is learning and now makes fewer mistakes, and most Supervisors accept it is here to stay. Indeed, more bots are being let loose on the site, doing the tedious tasks that allow us to get on with the more important work of making sure this it the best Q&A site on the web.
