Hey, One common form of vandalism in Wikidata is removing sitelinks (we already have an abuse filter flagging them). One of my friends in Persian Wikipedia (who is not a wikidata editor and only cares about Persian Wikipedia) asked me to write a tool that lists all Persian Wikipedia sitelink removals. So I wrote something small and fast but it's usable for any wiki. For example English Wikipedia: http://tools.wmflabs.org/dexbot/tools/deleted_sitelinks.php?wiki=enwiki
It's slow due to nature of the database query but once it responds, you might find good things to revert.
Since this is the most useful for Wikipedia editors who don't want to patrol Wikidata (in that case, this query https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?namespace=&tagfilter=new+editor+removing+sitelink&translations=noaction&title=Special%3ARecentChanges is the most useful) I'm reaching to wider audiences. Sorry for spamming.

Great, thank you!

Amir, I have already found a vandalism with your tool and reverted it. Here: http://tools.wmflabs.org/dexbot/tools/deleted_sitelinks.php?wiki=huwiki the last row: 472895901 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Diff/472895901 62.250.93.192 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:62.250.93.192Q686894 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q686894 /* wbsetsitelink-remove:1|huwiki */ Fúriadüh But the row is still visible after refreshing. Is it possible to develop the tool so that it checks if the current version has the removed link and in case of yes it omits the row from the list, so that we don't have to check reverted items?

The tool excludes edits that are marked as patrolled but you need to rollback (instead of undo/restore). I can add an option that only gets current one but that probably make the query too complex to run on time.

Most flagrev wikis do not use patrolling.
The edit is made and rollbacked in Wikidata which does have RC patrolling if I understand you correctly.

Interesting tool, I will definitely make sure enwiki anti-vandalism members know about this... Thank you for the hard work. :)

It doesn't show it anymore. Probably it was because of replication lag or something like that.

Great! Thank you!
This looks great! Would it be possible to make a modified version that lists description edits in a particular language (instead of sitelink edits for a particular project)? This should be very useful for targeted patrolling too; it came up as a suggestion in the Wikidata project chat last week.
Technically, it should be a relatively simple change, querying for "wbsetdescription" instead of "wbsetsitelink-remove".
(More generally, there is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141866 "Provide a way to filter Wikidata's recent changes for language-dependent content in specific languages", but that looks like a larger project.)
