It’s me, and yes, it’s automated.

Hi all,
Thanks very much for the responses.
I’ve created a wiki page that lists all of the ways in which I am
identifying semi-automated tool edits. One thing that I’ve included there
is a list of the regular expressions that I believe match tool edits from
revision comments. Here is the page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata%27s_Value/s…
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata's_Value/semi-automated_tool_edit_indicators>
.
I’ve also noticed the following interesting phrase within Wikidata revision
comments: “Updating citation graph”. It appears that contiguous revisions
with this phrase occur, indicating that this could be produced by a bot or
some other form of automated editing occurring quickly. Anyone know what is
producing these revisions? Is it a bot or tool possibly?
Thanks,
Andrew

Also, [[User:QuickStatementsBot]] acts as an agent for edits submitted
through the QuickStatements tool, as well as some of my automated bot edits
("...invoked by...").

Hi Andrew,
I would also look at edit tags [1], which capture many edits from
OAuth-based tools that don't leave an identifying word in the edit
summary field (example: reCh [2]).
You can query these using the change tag table [3].
[1]
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Tags (may take some time to
load)
[2] e.g.

Hello,
I’m doing some analyses in which I want to identify Wikidata edits done
via
editing tools (e.g. via QuickStatements, etc…).
To identify these edits,
I've first flagged and removed bot edits and then I’ve generated a list
of
the 1000 most popular revision comment words
(ignoring case and some
punctuation characters as part of this process). Within this list of
words,
I've identified 15 words that I believe
indicate tool edits. I’ve
included
these 15 words below.
Does anyone know of tool edits that would be missed if I search for
revisions that contain one of these 15 words in their comments? Put
another
way, are there editing tools not listed below? If
so, can I identify
edits
from those tools from revision comments?
#quickstatements
#petscan
#autolist2
autoedit
nameguzzler
labellister
#itemcreator
#dragrefjs
[[useryms/lc|lcjs]]
#wikidatagame
[[wikidataprimary
#mix'n'match
mix'n'match
#distributedgame
[[userjitrixis/nameguzzlerjs|nameguzzler]]
Thanks in advance,
Andrew Hall
