User:Emijrp/Anti-vandalism bot census

This is an anti-vandalism bot census for all Wikimedia projects as of February 2011. It includes active and inactive bots, also simple clones of other bots. The main goal of this census is compiling all the information available about these counter-vandalism automatic tools. Feel free to help improve this page.

Techniques
We can see two main types of anti-vandalism bots:
 * First generation: simple scoring systems based in regular expressions and heuristics.
 * Second generation: machine learning, natural language processing, neural networks and bayesian filters.

Census
Bots to be added:
 * AVBOT (es) and its clons, Salebot (pt), (en) previously  and,  (en),  (en),  anti-spam (en)
 * ask in other wikipedias
 * no bots? pl
 * anti-vandalism bots are not allowed in: de
 * use of anti-abuse filters, not bots: it
 * make statistics about reverts in the recentchanges table to discover bots
