<div dir="ltr">For English Wikipedia, I could probably get you some basic stats in ~30 mins of work. In order to detect tool-based edits, we use patterns that the tools leave in edit comments. E.g. Huggle leaves a link to the huggle docs: [[WP:HG|HG]] My collaborators and I have build up mechanisms for matching these edit comments so that we can attribute tool to edit. <div><br></div><div>Building this dataset up for other wikis would be hard, but I have a few ideas. E.g. we can look for common patterns in edit comments -- especially those links that appear very often -- and do a little bit of manual vetting to identify those comment edit comment patterns that are related to tools. This would probably take a week or so to do for the first non-English Wikipedia, but the rest would be much faster, I imagine. </div><div><br></div><div>Generally, I don't have much time to devote to this, but I'd be happy to advise someone else who can spend more time looking at it. This could serve as valuable training for someone on your team.</div><div><br></div><div>While I was looking around for recent data on this, I found some plots that provide some good food for thought. <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warning_posting.monthly.enwiki.svg">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warning_posting.monthly.enwiki.svg</a> shows the introduction and sudden rise of warning template postings. <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Teahouse_invitations.monthly.enwiki.svg">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Teahouse_invitations.monthly.enwiki.svg</a> shows the more recent rise of teahouse invitation postings. These are from a study that Jonathan and I are working on around the effectiveness of the teahouse.
