Documentation
editThis bot listens two streams:
- recentchange
- page-links-change
For every edit, the bot excludes certain namespaces, then checks if the user is new, is not a vandal, and could need help:
- Less than 100 edits (or anonymous)
- ORES good faith score equal or greater than 0.3
- The edit hasn't been undid
- The edit is not an undo or a manual restore
- The user is not a bot
The bot checks if some "rules" (common errors) are triggered.
