This bot is a general Requests for checkuser clerk helper bot for IRC held in #wikipedia-checkuser-clerks.

It is written in PHP by GeorgeMoney and hosted on the Toolserver.

[edit] What it does

  • Watches the irc.wikimedia.org feed for new additions to CheckUser requests.
  • Parses various info about new requests
  • Alerts pages on the stalklist that were edited

[edit] Parsing

It parses and reports:

  • the puppeteer
  • sockpuppets
  • requester
  • if page name is created properly
  • misuse of templates like {{checkip|username}}.
  • code letter
  • if code letter is invalid


  • if the puppeteer or one of the socks edits the case
  • if the case is blanked
  • if the case is tagged for speedy deletion
  • if the case is closed, and why it was closed

[edit] Commands

Anyone in the channel can execute these commands.

  • !die - kill the bot if it goes crazy
  • !die -1 - restart the bot
  • !parse <case> - parse a specific case just like it would on new creation
  • !parseraw <page> - parse a page itself instead of case (see !stalkraw below)
  • !parsemin <case> - parse a case but don't list all the sockpuppets, just give a count and some general info - useful if you want to parse really long cases but don't want to flood the channel
  • !help - gives a link to here
  • !showinfo - shows various information about the connections. useful for debugging
  • !time - output the current UTC time
  • !stalk <case> - stalk a case so all edits to it are alerted

  • !stalklist - list all the pages on the stalklist
  • !clerk - "ping" all clerks online that are on a list of "pingable" nicks
