recent changes IRC feed</figcaption></figure> <p>The <i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Cleaning_up_vandalism_manually" title="Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism manually">old school</a></i> way is to load <a href="/wiki/Special:RecentChanges" title="Special:RecentChanges">recent changes</a> and check the (diff) links. It can be filtered according to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FA">featured articles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GA">good articles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLP">living people</a>, new accounts' contribs, IPs' contribs, mobile contribs (as these are more prone to vandalism, see <a href="/wiki/Help:Recent_changes" title="Help:Recent changes">Help:Recent changes</a>), and even by likelihood of being damaging or bad-faith. Searching for pages by their <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Namespace" title="Wikipedia:Namespace">namespace</a> and specific <a href="/wiki/Special:Tags" title="Special:Tags">tags</a> (e.g. VisualEditor, possible BLP issue or vandalism, etc.) can also be done. If they contain harmful edits, you revert to the previous version. However, the high volume of edits that occur each second makes this difficult to accomplish most of the time, and several tools have been created to simplify the process: </p> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle" title="Wikipedia:Huggle">Huggle</a></b> is a fast diff browser which parses edits from users and sorts them by predicted level of vandalism. Once identified, malicious edits can be reverted in the click of a button. Due to the fast-paced nature of the program, users on the English Wikipedia must have the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Rollback" title="Wikipedia:Rollback">rollback</a> permission to use it; however, this is not a requirement on other wikis.</li> <li><b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CVN/Bots" class="extiw" title="m:CVN/Bots">IRC Bots</a></b> report at the <span style="font-family: monospace,Courier; white-space: pre-wrap !important; word-wrap: break-word; max-width: 1200px; overflow: auto;">#cvn-wp-en</span> <sup class="plainlinks"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.libera.chat/?channel=#cvn-wp-en"><span style="color:green;">connect</span></a></sup> channel on the <a href="/wiki/Libera_Chat" title="Libera Chat">Libera Chat</a> network list suspected vandalism edits (for example: blankings, edits made by blacklisted users, etc.).</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/User:Lupin/Anti-vandal_tool" title="User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool">Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool</a></b> monitors the RSS feed and flags edits with common vandalism terms.

After installing, visit <a href="/wiki/Special:BlankPage/RCPatrol" title="Special:BlankPage/RCPatrol">this page</a>. The script uses ORES to automatically determine whether the edit needs review. You need rollback or admin permissions to use the script, just like with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:HG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:HG">Huggle</a>.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:REDWARN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:REDWARN">RedWarn</a> patrol</b> can be activated by any user of RedWarn on the <a href="/wiki/Special:RecentChanges" title="Special:RecentChanges">recent changes</a> page, quick reviewing and one-click rollback of disruptive edits.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SWViewer" title="Wikipedia:SWViewer">SWViewer</a></b> (<a href="https://iw.toolforge.org/swviewer" class="extiw" title="toolforge:swviewer">direct link</a>) is a user-friendly <a href="/wiki/Progressive_web_application" class="mw-redirect" title="Progressive web application">webapp</a> with simple and intuitive UI that enables you to monitor recent changes in real-time.

In order to use the application, rollback permission is required.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ANVDL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ANVDL">AntiVandal</a></b> is another web-based vandalism monitoring tool, similar to Huggle in User Interface. It can be used to quickly revert vandalism and warn the vandal using escalating or 4im only warning templates. Users can also directly report vandals to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AIV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AIV">Administrator Intervention against Vandalism</a> after sufficient warning has been given.
