    Monitoring[edit]

    Screenshot of Wikipedia recent changes IRC feed

    The old school way is to load recent changes and check the (diff) links. It can be filtered according to featured articles, good articles, living people, new accounts' contribs, IPs' contribs, mobile contribs (as these are more prone to vandalism, see Help:Recent changes), and even by likelihood of being damaging or bad-faith. Searching for pages by their namespace and specific tags (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:

    Rollback tools[edit]

    These tools extend the rollback feature by allowing you to specify a summary when using rollback. They may also offer additional features:

    Rollback-like scripts[edit]

    These tools can be used to achieve the same effect as rollback if you do not have it.

    Special pages[edit]

    Task Forces[edit]

    IRC channels[edit]

    Note that these are not operated by or affiliated with Wikipedia.

    Discord server[edit]

    A Discord server has been started to help coordinate anti-vandalism response - please consider joining.
