Hello Fabian,
For the French project (2015-10-12) : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Bot/Liste This page is updated by a bot : Bub's wikibot[1] (perhaps the code would interest you).
An other list : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Bot#Liste_des_bots_sur_la_Wikip...
If you need translation, ask me. French wikipedians' words are sometimes a bit odd.
Yours sincerely,
Erwan Joud PhD Student - Université de Bretagne Occidentale Laboratoire ICI EA2652 Supervisors : Pr Marine Le Gall-Ely & Dr Nicolas Jullien

Hi Fabian, We recently did the same exercise for this paper: Even Good Bots Fight [2]. 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

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
