Documentation

Administrator emergency shutoff

Administrators may turn the bot off by changing this page to 'False'.

Exclusion compliant

This bot is an exclusion compliant bot.

Other namespace opt-in

Normally ClueBot will not revert pages outside of the main namespace. However, if there is a good reason to list another page (like a user page, user talk, or talk page that gets vandalized often), it can be listed on this list of pages outside the main namespace to revert.

1RR compliant

This bot will not revert the same article and user more than once per day. There is one exception: This bot will revert today's featured article or any page listed in the opt-in list for angry mode as many times as it finds vandalism. The bot will not revert to itself or one of its friends (MartinBot/VoABot II).

My stats

For my editing stats, please go here.

Scoring system

For pages which have had a lot of text added in the last change, the bot will score the additions based on this list, and then score the removals on the inverse of that list. If the overall score is greater than -100, the bot sees the edit as constructive and does nothing, if it scores less than -100, the bot sees it as destructive, reports it and possibly reverts it.

Open proxy scanning

ClueBot will report open proxies found on vandalizing IP addresses to WP:OP. ClueBot checks the following DNS Blacklists:

• tor.dnsbl.sectoor.de
• tor.ahbl.org

ClueBot also scans the following ports for open proxies:

• HTTP: 80 8080 3128 6588 81 8000 8001 8081 808 6660 6661 6662 6663 6664 6665 6666 6667 6668 6669 1337 31337 1338 31338 7000

• When I see a bot with a mile-long collection of RickK anti-vandalism barnstars (yes, I'm looking straight at you, BetaCommand Bot), I normally throw up a little bit in my mouth and think to myself, "Ugh, not another one..." This one actually does some nice stuff, though, so it's earned a place in my mental good bots book. flaminglawyer^c 17:06, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
