[Wikitech-ambassadors] Anti-vandalism bots

[Sam Walton]

Hi,

My name's Sam and I'm a Product Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation working
on the Moderator Tools project
. As part of the research
for this project I've been exploring anti-vandalism bots in use on
different Wikimedia projects, but haven't been able to find any centralised
list of such bots.

So far I'm aware of ClueBot NG (en.wiki), SeroBOT (es.wiki), and Salebot
(fr.wiki, pt.wiki).

If you know of any other anti-vandalism bots (i.e. bots which automatically
revert edits which are identified as vandalism according to some
rules/algorithm), please let me know! I'd also love to know if you have any
thoughts about their effectiveness.

Thanks,
Sam
