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'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].

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
