Wikipedia:WikiAudit
WikiAudit is a utility that, given a set of IP addresses as input, outputs a report (see the screenshot image) summarizing the contributions and behavior of those IPs on some wiki (i.e., English Wikipedia). In particular, heuristics direct attention to malicious/unconstructive behaviors.
We envision WikiAudit being useful for:
- Institutional/organizational network administrators who want to monitor the contributions coming from their IP space. From the organization's perspective, this can help protect reputation and misuse of organizational resources. Similarly, organizations who take steps to prevent future mis-behavior help benefit the wiki.
- Casual readers who use the tool to conduct security investigations and reveal organizational bias in authoring. For example, an edit to Wikipedia article [x] from the IP space of organization [x] might be inappropriately promotional or scrub factual criticism.
