Hi Fabian,
We recently did the same exercise for this paper: Even Good Bots Fight
<https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.04285> .
Have a look at the data collection, where we explained how we made a list of all bots.
Also re edit statistics, see Fig S1.
Happy to compare the lists and share data.
Best,
Taha

Wikistats knows about 8017 bot usernames according to
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-ez/wikistats/csv_wp_main.zip (cut -f2 -d,
StatisticsBots.csv | sort -u | wc -l ). Given active editors tend to complain a lot if
they get counted as bots, a comprehensive list should probably be a superset of that
one.

This is likely not news, so can someone enlighten me regarding what brought about that
sharp decline of bot edits?
The migration of interwiki links to Wikidata, which is very visible in
https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/PlotsPngEditHistoryTop.htm .
There was also some statistic by WMF on whether active users had "migrated" to
Wikidata from other projects, but I can't quickly find it now; maybe it was around the
time of
