Hello,
I’m doing some analyses in which I want to identify Wikidata edits done via editing tools (e.g. via QuickStatements, etc…). To identify these edits, I've first flagged and removed bot edits and then I’ve generated a list of the 1000 most popular revision comment words (ignoring case and some punctuation characters as part of this process). Within this list of words, I've identified 15 words that I believe indicate tool edits. I’ve included these 15 words below.
Does anyone know of tool edits that would be missed if I search for revisions that contain one of these 15 words in their comments? Put another way, are there editing tools not listed below? If so, can I identify edits from those tools from revision comments? #quickstatements #petscan #autolist2 autoedit nameguzzler labellister #itemcreator #dragrefjs [[useryms/lc|lcjs]] #wikidatagame [[wikidataprimary #mix'n'match mix'n'match #distributedgame [[userjitrixis/nameguzzlerjs|nameguzzler]]
Thanks in advance, Andrew Hall
Hi Andrew,
I would also look at edit tags [1], which capture many edits from OAuth-based tools that don't leave an identifying word in the edit summary field (example: reCh [2]). You can query these using the change tag table [3].

[2] e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributi...

Also, [[User:QuickStatementsBot]] acts as an agent for edits submitted through the QuickStatements tool, as well as some of my automated bot edits ("...invoked by...").

Hi all,
Thanks very much for the responses.
I’ve created a wiki page that lists all of the ways in which I am identifying semi-automated tool edits. One thing that I’ve included there is a list of the regular expressions that I believe match tool edits from revision comments. Here is the page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata%27s_Value/se... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata's_Value/semi-automated_tool_edit_indicators.
I’ve also noticed the following interesting phrase within Wikidata revision comments: “Updating citation graph”. It appears that contiguous revisions with this phrase occur, indicating that this could be produced by a bot or some other form of automated editing occurring quickly. Anyone know what is producing these revisions? Is it a bot or tool possibly?
Thanks, Andrew

It’s me, and yes, it’s automated.
