If such "magic" changes show up on the watchlist and in the page history, I agree. Then they are edits (or at least pseudo-edits). The simplest way to achieve this is by using bots. > If you isolate the vandalism it will be less visible, but then it will be more > likely that no one will ever spot it. > > And yes, PoD is a military thingy and as such is disliked by the > wikicommunities.

I think Probability of Detection is actually a very good metric when thinking about vandalism. But it needs to be weight against impact/visibility. For Wikibase integration in Wikipedia, we worked to make the PoD grow along with the impact: pages that use info from wikidata will have changes to that data show up in the watchlist and recen5tchanges (integration with the page history is still planned). -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
