User:ClueBot
ClueBot is taking a well-deserved, indefinitely long Wikibreak after working non-stop for 3.5 years and making almost 1.6 million edits. He may come back at some point if special heuristics will help defend against a specific type of vandalism, but these days his younger, faster, more accurate sibling ClueBot NG is picking up the slack and more. |
This user account is a bot operated by Rich Smith (talk) and DamianZaremba (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot does not yet have the approval of the community, or approval has been withdrawn or expired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is making edits that appear to be unassisted to pages not in the operator's or its own userspace, please block it. |

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 (with the exception of talk pages if it detects page-move vandalism). 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

The thing with ClueBot NG, is that every time I try to manually revert an edit, ClueBot NG immediately beats me. That's how fast CBNG is; vandalism comes in, instantly reverted. Here's some transistors to keep you running.

The Multiple Barnstar | |||||||
An Anti-vandalism barnstar and a half barn star for ClueBot NG, for the bot’s work on fighting vandalism and making over 5 MILLION edits (wow, that’s almost as much as the English Wikipedia’s article count!) and counting to fight lots of vandalism. ClueBot III gets the other half Barnstar for doing a lot of talk page archiving. Thank you so much for all your hard work, and here’s to another 5 million edits of reverting vandalism, and another 600,000+ of talk page archiving! Porkchop Jr. 17:43, 14 June 2018 (UTC) |
A gift card from the Barnstar Shop | ||
This is a red gift card that the bots can use at the Barnstar Shop. Feel free to buy any barnstars there, and maybe even give them to other users! (But please don’t award yourself some.) Porkchop Jr. 18:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC) |

If ClueBot NG weren’t here, we won’t revert vandalism as much as it does. Thank you for all the edits that you’ve made. 70.190.21.73 (talk) 23:14, 10 March 2018 (UTC) |
