Documentation
User emergency shutoff
Users 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. 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:
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

| Congratulations on a job well done, you have inspired me to create my own anti-vandalism bot, and should be going live soon. I can only hope it will be as effective as yours :) Lloydpick 12:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC) |

The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar |
| As immensely annoying as it is for Twinkle to constantly give me error messages ("Last edit by ClueBot, may have already been reverted"), I don't know what the project would do without you, Cluebot. Thanks for your constant work in protecting the 'pedia. (Phrasing it that way also lets me give you this barnstar instead of an anti-vandal one, of which you've got a zillion already) Hersfold (t/a/c) 18:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC) |
