Dear Wikimedians,
We are pleased to invite you to the 43rd DCW Conversation Hour [1], a
space dedicated to movement strategy, leadership development, and
innovation in free knowledge.
[2]
Topic: Wikipedia Admin & Patrol Tools
Speaker: Sohom Dutta, English Wikipedia Administrator, PTAC Member.
Session Key Themes:
* Monitoring real-time edits and platform changes using Watchlists,
specific labels, Rollback, SWViewer, and upcoming features like
Automoderator.
* Securing or reviewing new page creations by identifying copyright
violations (copyvios) and assessing AI-generated content.
* Navigating page patrolling workflows, including sockpuppetry
investigations, editor communication, author attribution via
WhoWrotethat, and mass deletions via Nuke.
* Supporting new user retention by configuring mentorship modules for
easier navigation, alongside managing access control through targeted,
range, partial, or indefinite blocks to prevent abuse.
* Using tools like Twinkle to handle tedious administrative tasks, and
building basic Pywikibot scripts to run automated bots for batch work.
