Dear Listserv,
Hope all is well. I am mapping IP address edits per country for 271 language Wikipedias. I would like to exclude IP addresses that are vandalism. I was thinking of using the ipblocks table for the IP addresses to be excluded. Because this project is in so many different languages and my programming skills are intermediate, I would like to use the Wikipedia tables or registers that the Wikipedians in those language use to mark vandalism. If anyone has another idea, I would be most grateful. Perhaps I am missing a way that Wikipedians across languages are using to mark vandalism.
Thank you, Tom

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Ipblocks_table for the table format.
Also note that there are both the blocks at that wiki and global blocks.
Plus, also, there are obviously vandals whose ip does not get blocked after the fact.
