Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Analytics] Bots vs. Wikipedians – Who edits more?
Thomas says that he is in fact using the recentchanges bot flag as well as matching a "bot" string in the username [1] (most scripts only do the former).

Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Analytics] Bots vs. Wikipedians – Who edits more?
Very cool. If you include wikidata then more than 50% of the edits on the Wikimedia projects are made by bots. One of the dead horses I like to beat is that bot editors should be treated as first class citizens of Wikipedia and this data nicely illustrates that. I think this is a bigger watershed moment (we might have reached this threshold a while back) then mobile vs non-mobile and we should have a way more rigorous discussion about the future of bots on Wikipedia. Particularly as all our big features are aimed at human editors :) D On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 12:30 PM, Dario Taraborelli < dtarabore...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > A new app by Thomas Steiner (@tomayac) counting bot vs human edits in real > time from the RecentChanges feed: > > http://wikipedia-edits.herokuapp.com/ > > (read more [2]).

A new app by Thomas Steiner (@tomayac) counting bot vs human edits in real time from the RecentChanges feed: http://wikipedia-edits.herokuapp.com/ (read more [2]). The application comes with a public API exposing Wikipedia and Wikidata edits as Server-Sent Events.
