I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a list of the codes that follow the page names in the mediawiki IRC update stream. For example the "MB" in the following example:
20:43 <@rc-pmtpa> [[2007–08 A-League]] MB http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=435699936&oldid=435699679 * Cydebot * (+3) Robot - Speedily moving category 2008 in Australian football (soccer) to [[:Category:2008 in Australian association football]] per [[WP:CFDS|CFDS]].
I'm trying to identify bots for this visualization of the updates [1]. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.

I think these are the flags you see on any recent changes page.
If that's the case: M = minor edit B = bot N = new

thanks for the advice so far. I monitored 36 of the wikipedia update channels for an hour and came up with the following tallies:
"" (7053) MB (4274) M (1951) ! (1250) N (436) !N (406) B (366) !M (209) !MB (154) NB (95) NM (67) !NM (23) NMB (3) !B (2)
So it looks like the N, M and B can be combined? does anyone know what the ! means?

Well I sent this earlier, but I dont see it in the archives, so it may not have gone through, but if you know PHP you can look at the getIRCline function[1].
! is for unpatrolled edits.

Added the flag means inline for you.
Thanks very much for the decoding, and the pointers to the code. Much appreciated!

There are nice bots that parse this stuff.

Wait for an edit with "!", then check onwiki if you notice anything 'strange' with that edit. Usually the ! is used for negation, but that doesnt make sense here. It might be a tag (abusefilter), but I can't tell if I am right.

The ! indicates an edit or new page is not yet patrolled.
