Install DoubleCheck
WikiLoop DoubleCheck (previously WikiLoop Battlefield) is an open-source, crowd-sourced, counter vandalism tool for Wikipedia. It is available as a web application, a Chrome extension, and a userscript that runs directly on Wikipedia pages.
Different from other tools like Huggle, which requires rollback permissions to start using, WikiLoop DoubleCheck uses a tiered, trusted model. Just like Wikipedia aspires to be something "anyone can edit", WikiLoop DoubleCheck allows everyone to review and label a revision with their opinion, while allowing higher-tier trusted editors (such as admins or those with WP:Rollback permissions) to conduct faster and more powerful actions like direct-revert, warn, and thank.
Installation
WikiLoop DoubleCheck can be used in three ways:
Web application
Visit doublecheck.wikiloop.org/review — no installation needed.
UserScript (recommended for Wikipedia editors)
The userscript integrates directly into Wikipedia. On diff pages, it adds a floating button that opens the full DoubleCheck review interface in a modal overlay. On Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist, it shows risk scores on each edit. When you revert or thank, it uses your own Wikipedia session — actions appear under your account.
Click the "Install DoubleCheck" button at the top of this page. If you don't see the button, click here to activate the installer and try again.
The installer uses a cross-wiki loader on Meta-Wiki, so it works on all Wikimedia wikis (English, French, Japanese, etc.).
Chrome extension
Install from the Chrome Web Store. The extension works the same as the userscript — it adds a review button on diff pages and risk badges on RecentChanges/Watchlist.
Features
- Review interface — Full diff viewer with ML-based risk scores (ORES/LiftWing damaging and good-faith probabilities)
- Judgement actions — Mark revisions as "Should Revert", "Not Sure", or "Looks Good"
- Direct revert — Undo edits directly using your Wikipedia session (vandalism or good-faith revert modes)
- Warn user — Post warning templates (levels 1–4 and 4im) to the editor's talk page after reverting
- Thank author — Send MW thanks notifications for good edits
- Risk badges — Colored risk indicators on Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist rows
- Real-time feed — Live stream from Wikimedia EventStreams, ranked by human-review priority
- Keyboard shortcuts — R (revert), G (looks good), N (not sure + skip), Arrow keys (prev/next)
- Leaderboard — See top reviewers at /leaderboard
- Article maintenance — Tag articles with maintenance templates (for experienced editors)
Issues can be reported on the GitHub issue tracker.
How it works
When using the userscript or Chrome extension on Wikipedia:
- You visit a diff page (e.g.,
Special:Diff/12345) or Special:RecentChanges - DoubleCheck shows a floating "Review with DoubleCheck" button
- Clicking it opens a modal overlay (80% of page) with the full review interface
- You can review the diff, see ML risk scores, and cast your judgement
- If you judge "Should Revert", you can directly revert using your own Wikipedia account
- The revert is attributed to you and uses standard MediaWiki edit summaries with a
DoubleChecktag
