::It seems to me that measuring the rate of vandalism is better than the rate of reversion. I'd be happy to see this have a test run - if the techy people who know what they're doing think it's ok. [[User:BethNaught|BethNaught]] ([[User talk:BethNaught|talk]]) 06:41, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

:::So would I. I'm in '''support''' of this new bot, as it'll hopefully return more accurate results than just how much vandalism is being reverted (the more vandalism reverted, the better. That doesn't really help much as it pretty much proves that the anti-vandalism team on duty is able to handle things or whatnot). I do have concerns for this template when [[User:ClueBot NG|ClueBot NG]] goes down, as it does often thanks to WMF Labs... what will this template display if CBNG data is not available? --'''[[:User:K6ka|k6ka]]''' ([[:User_talk:K6ka#|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 10:55, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

:I'd also like to see this get a trial run; this seems to be a better method of measuring vandalism than reverts per minute. I share K6ka's concerns about what happens when ClueBot goes offline. Some kind of fallback is needed, maybe even something as simple as setting the defcon to 1 with a note that CBNG is down.
