* `wikiprojects.json` defines formats and URLs to query different Wikimedia projects. Currently only Spanish Wikipedia is supported.

* `wikiusers.json` defines the list of users to be checked. Only username or IP address is required.

* `app.js` defines at line 7 and 8 the starting and ending date of articles to be considered. in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.

## Running tool

After customizing settings this tool can be run with the following commands:
