Hi Wikipedians,
just a question regarding Wiki Vandalism on Wikipedia.
On this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges, would it be possible to display a symbol in front of the line (let's say "V" for Vandalism) if some facts are met about the changes on an article ? E.g. : if size has decreased of more than 20% Another way would be to compute a level of probability of vandalism based on some criteria, a bit like SpamAssasin is working on killing spams.
Another tool that would usefull to fight spam would be to create a page like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges but with differences directly displayed, without the full articles. I mean you would have all the differences on the latests articles amended displayed on one page. Ok ok It would cost maybe too much CPU to do this, but this could be a tool reserved for "significant Wikipedia contributors"

You might want to check out CDVF. It has most of that: [[WP:CDVF]] Ryan

#en.wikipedia.vandalism on Freenode has this also. Very nice, uses the same feed cdvf uses, but filters it to pretty much stuff that is mostly vandalism, and shows people reverting.

Hi,
indeed CDVF is a really impressive tool. I don't know its existance, thanks to the author !
But unfortunately it doesn't show directly differences on articles it suppects of vandalism. In the "Live RC" tab, is there a way to open the latest differences on the suspected article ?

For future reference, and the benefit of anyone else wondering, add "site:mail.wikipedia.org" to a query in Google/Yahoo!/your favourite search engine. You can also be more specific, so "site:mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l" searches just the archives of this one list, which are all in that directory.

Does "site:" work on directories? IIRC you'd have to use "inurl:" for that...
(This trick is also very useful for searching Wikipedia, since "inurl:" lets you define what namespace you want)

It appears to.

Interesting, I'd never thought of that.

Excellent.

Admittedly, to use Main it involves having to add "-inurl:wiki/Talk -inurl:wiki/User ...", but such is life.
On the matter of search functions, I recently discovered - when doing global searches for ASINs, something I must get back to - that the Wikipedia internal search works on the raw text, not the displayed text - so it covers URLs which have been included but are given linknames...
Interesting applications of this are left as an exercise for the reader.
