User:RadioKirk/Anti-vandal tool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lupin's anti-vandal tool is a tool that will catch what the other tools miss. By using the RC feed to check diffs against a list of common vandal terms, this tool will catch many common vandalisms.

Once you have reloaded the file, there will be four new items in your toolbox:
- Filter recent changes, a link to User:Lupin/Filter recent changes,
- All recent changes, a link to User:Lupin/All recent changes,
- Recent IP edits, a link to User:Lupin/Recent IP edits and
- Monitor my watchlist, a link to User:Lupin/Monitor my watchlist.
When you visit these pages, a live, scrolling feed will begin. When filtering recent changes, only edits matching common vandalisms are listed (you can see this list at User:Lupin/badwords). If you select "All recent changes" then (nearly) every edit is listed, and if you click "Recent IP edits" then only edits by so-called anonymous IP editors are listed. "Monitor my watchlist" shows changes to your watched articles as they happen.
To check the contents of the entry, click on "show details". To hide that entry, click "hide details".
[edit] Hints for use
By default, all links created by the tool open in new windows (except the show/hide details links). If you want them to open in new tabs instead, the procedure in Firefox is as follows:
- Type about:config in the location bar, filter for showsingle and set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true
- Edit Firefox's preferences in Advanced -> Tabbed Browsing and force links that open in new windows to open in new tabs.
[edit] Bugs and limitations
Wikipedia's RSS feed may have holes, although thanks to Tim Starling it should now have reasonable coverage. However, this tool will only examine edits sampled from that feed every 30 seconds, so it may miss some edits.
[edit] Compatibility
[edit] Browsers
This tool has been tested with Mozilla Firefox and Opera, and has had limited testing with Internet Explorer and Konqueror. It also seems to now work with Safari.
[edit] Wikipedia skins
A "Filter recent changes" link will only appear in the default monobook skin. However, you can visit the page User:Lupin/Filter recent changes in any skin and the tool should work.
