Hey all, I've been working to make vandalism detection easier and I was able to build an AI tool that scores each and every edit for being vandalism. It's one step forward but not enough, since using these scores is hard. So I'm working on building tools that makes these scores more useable for you. The long-term goal is using the ORES extension. it is working now in beta cluster [1] and you can test it in [2] as well. Once we are done with Wikidata:Edit labels [3] we are good to deploy this as a beta feature in Wikidata (we are waiting for something else too but hopefully it's done very soon)
But I wanted something helpful in short-term too. So in this weekend*, I registered #wikidata-vandalism IRC channel in freenode and I made a bot that reports unpatrolled edits with high scores every six minutes if they are made in the last six minutes. So If you join that channel you can see the bot adds edits that need review very soon after the edit has been made (basically it's a live reporting edits needing review)
Source code is in github and PRs are very welcome :) [4]
