Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Function Summary: Reports any edit by an open proxy known in user's database. See here for further background info.
Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): 7/24
Edit rate requested: depends on occurence of open proxy edits, experience so far: < 100 per day, see [1] as an example of a typical day.

Function Details: The bot only updates Wikipedia:Open proxy detection. This procedure is in operation on nl: since january 2007, added a few major languages on 3 July and was invited by some smaller languages to help them out as well. See iw links.
This process was interrupted by this block.
