Addition to the COIBot reports The lower list in the COIBot reports now have after each link four numbers between brackets (e.g. "www.example.com (0, 0, 0, 0)"):


 * 1) first number, how many links did this user add (is the same after each link)
 * 2) second number, how many times did this link get added to wikipedia (for as far as the linkwatcher database goes back)
 * 3) third number, how many times did this user add this link
 * 4) fourth number, to how many different wikipedia did this user add this link.

If the third number or the fourth number are high with respect to the first or the second, then that means that the user has at least a preference for using that link. Be careful with other statistics from these numbers (e.g. good user who adds a lot of links). If there are more statistics that would be useful, please notify me, and I will have a look if I can get the info out of the database and report it. This data is available in real-time on IRC.

Poking COIBot When adding LinkSummary, UserSummary and/or IPSummary templates to WT:WPSPAM, WT:SBL, WT:SWL and User:COIBot/Poke (the latter for privileged editors) COIBot will generate linkreports for the domains, and userreports for users and IPs.
