What the Bot Does

[edit]

DefconBot updates the template WP:Defcon (Template:Vandalism information)

It uses ClueBot NG to estimate how much vandalism is being performed, and sets the defcon level based on thresholds calculated to give specified percentages of time at each defcon level. The percentages are shown in the following table.

Defcon Level Percentage of time
1 1%
2 10%
3 20%
4 60%
5 9%

In Case of Malfunction
