Excellent. Thanks.
Now we need to ask Tawker or Essjay to modify their IRC bot (irc:// irc.freenode.net/vandalism-en-wp), to watch over this recent changes subset, and create a new channel in irc.freenode for the bot.
On a related note... is it possible to give a vandalism-bot its own watchlist? My understanding (which may be flawed) is that the bots cannot follow all recent changes due to volume; it would be very handy to be able to specify an article or articles where we could be sure these bots caught every change.
(Not a substitute for human watchlisting and cultivation of the article, of course, but a good way of alleviating headaches)
