[edit] Raw feeds
These are live Recent changes feeds hosted on the irc.wikimedia.org server. A number of bots shows edits on the wiki automatically as they happen. The displayed URLs give the cumulative differences produced by the edit concerned and any subsequent edits; The time is not listed but timestamping may be provided by your IRC-client. Confirmation that an edit has been processed is typically faster through IRC than through the browser.
There are about 500 RC channels on irc.wikimedia.org.

[edit] Abuse monitoring channels
Abuse monitoring channels unofficially patrol edits to counter vandalism and other abuse on Wikimedia wikis. These usually contain IRC bots that list suspicious edits with information such as the editor, edit summary, size change, and diff link.
Most such channels are run by local operators with the technical assistance of the CVN staff; to contact the staff, request access to a restricted channel, or discuss wiki countervandalism, see #countervandalism.
