 Question:
 Oftentimes edit filter managers are also bot operators; how would they decide when to implement a filter and when a bot?
 %TODO: ask people! (on IRC?)
+I've compiled a list of edit filter managers who are simultaneously also bot operators;
+I've further assembled the bots they run and made notes on the bots that seem to be relevant to vandalism prevention/quality assurance
+I'm currently trying to determine from document traces what filter contributions the corresponding edit filter managers had and whether they are working on filters similar to the bots they operate.
+Insight is currently minimal, since abuse\_filter\_history table is not available and we can only determine what filters an edit filter manager has worked on from limited traces such as: last modifier of the filter from abuse\_filter table; editors who signed their comments from abuse\_filter table; probably some noticeboards or talk page archives, but I haven't looked into these so far.
