False positives and false negativesIf you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor.

Starter kit for smaller wikis
Hello, and greetings! As part of a Starter kit project for smaller wikis, there is a work-in-progress guide around Bots & Tools here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit/Bots_and_Tools. I'm reaching out with a few questions, as there is a mention of the ClueBot_NG on this page in the list of useful bots section:
- Is it okay to have the bot listed in that section? Are there any concerns?
- Would you be okay with folks from smaller wikis reaching out to you for help, and would you be willing to list your preferred method of contact under "Bot owner contact"?
- Is there anything like a note or reminder related to the bot that you would like to add in the "description" column?
Additionally, if you have a suggestion for any other bots or tools currently on the list which should not be there and those that are not there and should be there, I would love to know about them—looking forward to your input! Srishti (talk) 07:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- ClueBot NG is open source, and so local users could potentially configure and train it for other wikis. Keep in mind, however, that it was designed to detect vandalism on Misplaced Pages-style articles and not anything else. It also will not work on any language other than English without being re-trained. Re-training should only require about 20,000 hand-verified "good" article edits and 20,000 "vandalistic" article edits to start out, but will require someone to collect those. More is better. It will also require people to monitor the bot and sometimes make changes based on reported false positives. ClueBot NG, while very successful on the English Misplaced Pages, is not an easy bot to set up or keep running for these reasons.
- The ClueBot NG team is monolingual to my knowledge, and so the ability for us to help in other language wikis would be limited. And as supporting other project types (wikinews, wiktionary, commons, etc) is currently outside the scope of the bot, I don't really see a good way for us to support smaller wikis. I'm happy to help as I have time, but my time is extremely limited these days, as well. -- Cobi 14:50, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
