## What is AVBOT?

**AVBOT** is an anti-vandalism bot for MediaWiki wikis. It is developed by [Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada](https://github.com/emijrp ) in [Python](https://www.python.org), using pywikibot and irclib.

AVBOT has been working in [Spanish Wikipedia](http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:AVBOT) since 2008, it has reverted more than 250,000 vandalism edits, and it has [several clones](http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:AVBOT#Clones) managed by other users.
