Improving the algorithm

I recently found vandalism that was not reverted by Cluebot NG, despite being pretty obvious. Is there any way to report this, so the bot can be improved? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 00:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

It looks like this is addressed in the red area above ("False positives and false negatives"). Larry Hockett (Talk) 00:36, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
@Larry Hockett: I realized that after I made the comment. Later, I found a link on how to do this, but the place it links to is no longer accessible. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 00:39, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Do not report it here; just revert the vandalism and warn the user. Mathglot (talk) 06:52, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
I know, I would just like to help improve the dataset. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 07:32, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Not all vandalism can be reverted by ClueBot NG; this is by design. ClueBot NG is not intended to replace human vandal patrollers, but instead assist them with their work. If you see vandalism, just revert it yourself and warn the offending user. ClueBot NG needs to maintain a balance between reverting enough vandalism to help human patrollers while also making as few false positives as possible (and in the past, people have been irrationally angry over false positives more than false negatives—the "ClueBot is Clueless" crowd still grinds my gears). —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 11:15, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
