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.

WikiLoop DoubleCheck can be used in three ways:

Visit doublecheck.wikiloop.org/review — no installation needed.

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.).

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.

Issues can be reported on the GitHub issue tracker.

When using the userscript or Chrome extension on Wikipedia:

  1. You visit a diff page (e.g., Special:Diff/12345) or Special:RecentChanges
  2. DoubleCheck shows a floating "Review with DoubleCheck" button
  3. Clicking it opens a modal overlay (80% of page) with the full review interface
  4. You can review the diff, see ML risk scores, and cast your judgement
  5. If you judge "Should Revert", you can directly revert using your own Wikipedia account
  6. The revert is attributed to you and uses standard MediaWiki edit summaries with a [DoubleCheck](/wiki/Wikipedia:DC "Wikipedia:DC") tag
