Rectius: there *used* to be a bot (RevertBot, Lusumbot). The program
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/copyright.py> has been
stopped when search engines changed their limits and Lusum has been
waiting for the WMF's Yahoo! BOSS key, needed to run the bot, for a
while.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MadmanBot is still running on English
Wikipedia, which uses the same Yahoo APIs
(http://www.uberbox.org/~marc/csb.pl).
It might be possible to run it on Italian Wikipedia as well, even
without generating a new key. The operator seems to be

That bot links a code (Coren's) that asks a key. So either the user is
paying one himself, or he got the WMF's one some time ago: in both
cases, he can't give it to more people.
