SWMT
The
Small Wiki Monitoring Team
(SWMT) is a group of Wikimedians who, using IRC and other
tools
, monitor small wikis for
vandalism
spam
or
trolling
. There are
several bots
which report any suspicious edits to the wikis that the SWMT monitors. To help, simply join
#cvn-sw
connect
on
IRC
Definition of "small"
edit
The "small" in "Small Wiki Monitoring Team" is to be broadly interpreted. Although the
bots
on IRC monitor most wikis with fewer than 10,000 articles, that is not to say that they are "small" as in "insignificant"; rather, we prefer to monitor as large a number of wikis as possible, so that we can most effectively coordinate measures to stop spammers and vandals that damage a lot of wikis
en masse
, or target smaller wikis because they think they can avoid detection altogether.
Therefore, please don't be offended if one of our members reverts vandalism on your wiki, identifying themselves as a member of the SWMT; we're there because we care about your wiki, not because we think it is a backburner project.
How to monitor a small wiki
edit
Monitor recent changes to small Wikis via
IRC
or
SWViewer
. See

Global permissions
edit
Any user in good standing can become a member of the SWMT. However, there are
global permissions
that may be of help. These include
global sysop
and
global rollback
. Please note that candidates for these permissions are expected to have significant experience in the SWMT.
Userbox
edit
Members of SWMT are requested to create a
global user page
at Meta, which will show on the wikis where they are editing. Consider using a
Babel
tag on your user page.
You can add the following userbox to your user page by typing {{
User SWMT
}}:
This user is a member of the
