These bots do NOT edit wikipedia, they are purely IRC based, though COIBot and many spam-fighters on Wikipedia are depending on it!
Function
[edit ]LiWa3 ('LinkWatcher version 3') is a bot that parses all edits on the content wikipedias (about 932 of them according to '!info' on IRC) and scans for added external links. The added external links are stored in a database. The current version of the system has been running since early 2012, with about 12 years worth of database of link additions.
Links that have been added are reported to various channels on Freenode (link addition streams), as well as statistics are being performed on the user adding links, and links added by the user with alert being generated for situations where human attention may be needed.
Bit of manual
[edit ]- Restart a reporter: LiWa3_# !quit!'
- Kill the linkwatcher in total: LiWa3_# !quit
