Hatnote: 'Listen to Wikipedia' (often referred to as Hatnote) is a third-party visualization tool that shows recent changes in real time. Although created for aesthetic effect, it can be surprisingly effective at detecting vandalism. By design, it can be used to revert damaging edits before they reach a larger audience using basic cognitive generalization.
