User:DASHBotAV

This user account is a bot operated by Tim1357 (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. This bot was previously approved but has since been retired, and therefore shouldn't be making edits that appear to be unassisted except in the operator's or its own user and user talk space. Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

DASHBot's Anti-Vandalism Feature has been disabled, as it has been superseded by the artificially intelligent ClueBot NG. I for one welcome our robot overlords.

DASHBot-Antivandalism is a system that catches and reverts cases of obvious vandalism.

• The bot uses a live copy of this list of regexes to find and revert edits.
• Only pages that do not have titles that match these regexes are scanned.
• The bot generates the score for the edit by scoring the edit for each time a match occurs.
• The score threshold for the bot changes, based on the size.

The bot will not revert the same user, making an edit to the same page twice in 24 hours. However, this function can be turned off at the settings page.

The following are the warning templates that the bot uses to message users.

1. {{User:DASHBot/VANDALWARN1}}
2. {{User:DASHBot/VANDALWARN2}}
3. {{User:DASHBot/VANDALWARN3}}
4. {{User:DASHBot/VANDALWARN4}}

The bot keeps detailed logs on the edits it reverts. Those logs can be searched by using [1]. If given a diffnumber, the page auto-filles an error-report, and redirects the user to User:DASHBot/False Postive Reports. If given a username, however, the page spits out a log of all the edits from that user, the bot has reverted.
