Belisarius is a Qt-based application to track vandalism on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. It aims to be fast and lightweight. It features an advanced filtering system and multiple feeds parsing. It is much similar to Vandal Fighter but takes less ressources and comes with some new features. Belisarius mostly uses IRC feeds provided by Wikimedia or some vandalism-checking bots.

[modifier] SourceForge Registration Description
Belisarius aims to be the Swiss knife of the vandal fighter on Wikipedia. It is much similar to Crypto Derk's Vandal Fighter, but unlike this one, it is fast due to the use of C++ instead of Java and it is open source (which CDVF is not). The Qt toolkit allows the app to be portable and it supports all Qt-supported platforms as there is no OS-specific code unlike another tools of this kind like Mike's Wiki Tool.
Basically, the application reads an IRC feed that reports all edits made on a Wikimedia project (on host browne.wikimedia.org) or an IRC feed processed by IRC bots (vandalism channel on freenode.net) and present it to the user, so that he can check them and revoke them if needed.
So, Belisarius seems to feel a gap in the Wikipedia Vandal fighting tools. Additionnaly it features :
- multiple vandalism feeds (most are IRC based)
- advanced filtering
- highlighting with colors and font decoration
- easy to use and comprehensive interface
Additionaly, it will feature collaborative edits checking, so that an edit is checked only once by vandal fighters (discussion and proposed architectures are on the page http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:GTA-SF)
The name "Belisarius" is a reference to the famous byzantine general who fought Vandals in North Africa during the 6th century.
