Dear Wikimedians,
We are pleased to invite you to the 43rd DCW Conversation Hour, a space dedicated to movement strategy, leadership development, and innovation in free knowledge.
Topic: Wikipedia Admin & Patrol Tools
Speaker: Sohom Dutta, English Wikipedia Administrator, PTAC Member.
Session Key Themes:
- Monitoring real-time edits and platform changes using Watchlists, specific labels, Rollback, SWViewer, and upcoming features like Automoderator.
- Securing or reviewing new page creations by identifying copyright violations (copyvios) and assessing AI-generated content.
- Navigating page patrolling workflows, including sockpuppetry investigations, editor communication, author attribution via WhoWrotethat, and mass deletions via Nuke.
- Supporting new user retention by configuring mentorship modules for easier navigation, alongside managing access control through targeted, range, partial, or indefinite blocks to prevent abuse.
- Using tools like Twinkle to handle tedious administrative tasks, and building basic Pywikibot scripts to run automated bots for batch work.
