The point of that tool is to check the diff for common vandalism tools, not to have 'fun'. I know NullC is working on a bayesian filter tool that connects directly with the database, which will make this tool obsolete, but until then this is useful.

We wouldn't normally permit a bot to hit the wiki that fast and bots aren't potentially in the hands of thousands of users equipped with nothing more than a web browser.
Should we set up some guidelines on this now, or just wait until we have to limit per-source http request throttling? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
