I assume you are wanting to run the code of eswiki RollbackerBOT? I've not looked into the details, but see for example Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/ClueBot_NG of what is expected on English Wikipedia of an anti-vandalism bot. You will have to provide much more detail about things like false positives or user warning messages. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 18:24, 15 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Sorry, but enwiki has a fairly high standard for antivandalism bots. At the moment, I don't think this bot offers any advantage over our current antivandalism bots, and if anything, it is likely to increase the amount of false positives being reverted while not helping to reduce the overall vandalism load. -- Chris 12:16, 17 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Denied. Per above. Enwiki has very high standards for antivandal bots, due to the high impact of false positives. This bot would cause more false positives than our current antivandal bot, while bringing no benefit --
