Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism/Tools

WP:CUV/T

The following is a list of tools and resources available for those who want to clean up with a more systematic approach.

Rollback scripts

Administrators and users who have requested it get a rollback button when looking at diffs in order to revert articles to their previous versions. However, non-administrators and users without the permission can emulate such a button using several tools.

RC patrol script gives non-administrators revert, filter, and popup tools while using the (default) monobook skin.
Godmode-light is a Javascript program to give non-administrators a rollback button.
Navigation popups are a set of utils that appear when hovering over wikilinks. Particularly, hovering over links of old versions provides a "revert" link.
Twinkle gives non-administrators (and administrators, for that matter) three types of rollback functions. Other functions include a full library of speedy deletion functions, user warnings, pseudoautomagical reporting of vandals, and more.

Special pages

See the list of Wikipedia's most vandalized pages. The related changes link will display recent changes to all pages listed on Wikipedia:Most vandalized pages, for those who wish to follow vandalism on Wikipedia but who are unable or do not desire to use IRC bot tools.
User:Adam1213/warn is a page that simplifies the process of warning vandals by allowing warnings to be submitted to specific users directly from the page.

Task Force

Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Task Force A voluntary Group who will provide assistance at times of high levels of vandalism and advice on counter vandalism methods.
Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Task Force/Members lists the status of task force members.
Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Task Force/Communication is a semi-automatic "pager" to alert members registered on the list to high levels of vandalism.
