Hey folks,

We (The Revision Scoring Team[1]) are happy to announce the deployment of the ORES service[2] in production at a new address: https://ores.wikimedia.org.  This will replace the old Wikimedia Labs address soon: https://ores.wmflabs.org.  Along with this new location, we are running on more predictable infrastructure that will allow us to increase our uptime and to make the service available to MediaWiki and extensions directly.  

We've also begun deploying the ORES review tool[3] as a beta feature on Wikidata and Persian Wikipedia in order trial the fully integrated extension.  Once enabled, the ORES review tool highlights edits that are likely to be damaging in Special:RecentChanges to help you prioritize your patrolling work. ORES is an experimental technology.  We encourage you to take advantage of it but also to be skeptical of the predictions made. Please reach out to us with your questions and concerns.

We'll soon begin to deploy the ORES review tool to more wikis.  Next up are English, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch and Turkish Wikipedias.  We can deploy to these wikis because those communities have completed Wiki labels[4] campaigns that help train ORES' classifiers to differentiate good-faith mistakes from vandalism.  If you'd like to get the ORES review tool deployed in your wiki, please reach out to us for help setting up or completing a Wiki labels campaign on your local wiki.  Wikimania participants can also attend our workshop[5] during the hackathon to get setting up ORES  for your local wiki.
