wiki-edits-bot

Collects and toots about edits to the English language Wikipedia from IP addresses associated with Australian government organisations.

It posts to https://aus.social/@WikiEdits

IP Address data

IP address ranges to check for edits are collected in two steps:

  1. A manual scan through the data at https://ipinfo.io/countries/au to collect ASNs of Australian government organisations
  2. The collected ASNs are used to fetch IP address ranges from the bgpview.io API.

If you think there are missing ASNs or any have been included erroniously, please raise a ticket.

Right now it only posts about federal government organisations, but that might change.

Wikipedia data

A usercontribs query is run for all collected IP address ranges on the Wikipedia API.

Running it

This thing runs thanks to GitHub workflows in a technique inspired by Simon Willison.
