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]
