This seems to be another interface for [[WP:RC|recent changes]]. I tried it a couple of times. The first time, the ORES prediction was wrong, saying it was bad baith when it wasn't. The second time, it was some sort of WikiData change, which was incomprehensible. What makes the tool useless for me is that there's no context or filter – it's just a stream of arbitrary, random changes. As it takes time to digest the context for each change, this is not efficient. Only button-pushing gnomes are likely to use this and the result seems likely to be low value-added. [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 20:22, 4 August 2020 (UTC) : Well, they write they are working on feed customization. I was planning to suggest to reuse the existing filter-bots, such as [[User:AlexNewArtBot/PolandSearchResult]]. Also, you will be surprised to learn how many BP-gnomes-patrollers are around. :BTW I suggest to exclude wikidata from standard feeds and put it into a dedicated feed, because only wikidata buffs can make sense of it. And personally, I think wikidata is over-engineered to the degree of uncomprehensiveness, which explains your observation (and mine as well, but I simply disregarded it). [[User:Staszek Lem|Staszek Lem]] ([[User talk:Staszek Lem|talk]]) 20:38, 4 August 2020 (UTC) :: I would not be at all surprised at the number of button-pushing gnomes as it's already my observation that this sort of low-grade busywork dominates the Wikipedia edit stream. Typically, I start an article which requires some research and care to draft the text. You then get a stream of edits in which gnomes make minor tweaks or run scripts to do things like fiddle with the length of dashes, tinker with the categories or just amend the amount of whitespace. The worst are the edtors with high edit counts who will find any excuse to make another edit and so boost their score. Giving such editors a tool like this is danegrous as they will be inclined to follow the ORES recommendation, regardless of its accuracy, and just punch the buttons as fast as they can to maximise their score. [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 22:18, 4 August 2020 (UTC) :::As if they are not doing this right now. I have the same experience: I barely manage to save a new stub and get slapped with half dozen of ridiculous hatnotes. It is just as easy to hit "undo" using Twinkle. Although I see your point about the score: maybe it is a good idea to hide it, forcing human brain to make the unbiased decision as an independent check against the "[[AI takeover|AI/Borg takeover]]".
