Wikipedia:WikiShield
Wikipedia counter-vandalism tool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiShield is primarily an anti-vandalism tool developed by LuniZunie.[a] It is based off of AntiVandal, but greatly changes the interface and adds many new features, such as reviewing pending changes, your watchlist, and notifications. Due to the script's ability to revert edits extremely quickly, rollback permissions are required to run the script, which can be requested at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback.
 | You take full responsibility for any actions taken using WikiShield. You must read and abide by all relevant Wikipedia policies when using this tool; failure to do so may result in you losing access to the tool or being blocked from editing. |

By default, there are 4 different queues: recent changes, pending changes, user creation logs, and your watchlist. All of these can be toggled. For more information, please ask on the talk page.
Note that the script is new and you may encounter severe bugs or crashes, please report them to the github or the talk page. There may be major changes and additions to the interface without warning; feel free to raise suggestions to the GitHub.
Installation
WikiShield can be installed manually by adding {{subst:lusc|User:LuniZunie/scripts/WikiShield.js}} to your common.js, or automatically by clicking the install button in the infobox if "Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files" is enabled in the gadgets section of your preferences.
Usage
After the script is installed, besides the preferences button, there will now be a link that says "🛡️ WikiShield". Clicking this or visiting the direct link will activate the script, and edits (and usernames) will begin to appear in the queues, it is recommended to change your settings before starting to revert edits. If you have any questions, just ask on the talk page!
Controls
WikiShield's controls are completely customizable, and closely match AntiVandal's:
- Q rolls back the current edit, warns the user who made it with escalating warnings, and reports to AIV if they are at a final warning.
- space / right arrow goes to the next edit.
- left arrow goes to the previous edit.
- H opens up the page history of the selected edit.
- C opens the contributions of the selected user.
- T thanks the user for the selected edit.
- W welcomes the user if they do not have an existing talk page.
