The RedWarn team is currently in the process of renaming to Ultraviolet. Some documentation pages are still in the process of being written/transferred. Read the announcement here.

Ultraviolet is a new, fast-growing JavaScript counter-vandalism tool, specifically designed for user friendliness. Ultraviolet has gained over 200 new users and is rapidly growing every day. So far, 40,000+ edits have been made with the tool. Thanks to your help, Ultraviolet is now backed by a team of hard-working and trusted volunteers. If you'd like to join us, you don't need to be a genius, or have any major experience to volunteer — and, to be cliche, it may even be a great thing to put on your resume. Engaging in Ultraviolet's development is a good way to get your work in use by hundreds of editors across the globe. If you've had any JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, design, translation, counter-vandalism, or other experience that would aid in Ultraviolet's development, your contributions would be highly valued!

-[[WP:RedWarn|RedWarn]] is a new, fast growing JavaScript counter-vandalism tool, specifically designed for user friendliness. In just over a month, RedWarn has gained over 100 new users and is rapidly growing every day with over 18,000+ edits made in the past 3 weeks. However, as you I hope you can understand, this is becoming a rather large undertaking for me. Therefore, I'm asking for volunteers to aid and lead in the development, design and future of the project. You don't need to be a genius, or have any major experience to volunteer - and, to be cliche, it may even be a great thing to put on your resume.

Would love to see RW on zhwiki - when we start work on the translation engine I'll get in touch [[User:Ed6767|<span style="font-family:'Roboto',sans-serif;font-weight:300;text-shadow: 2px 2px 10px black;color:black;">Ed<span style="color:red;">6767</span></span>]] [[User talk:Ed6767|<span style="color:black;"><strong>talk!</strong></span>]] 20:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

-::{{u|Ed6767}} I would also like to be a '''User query helper''', and I already registered on Gitlab, you just have to let me in the project. Also, you mentioned a discord account, is there a discord server I can join? Thanks!

-*{{user|Chlod}} '''Core developer''' or '''Backend developer''' - Although I do have quite an edge towards any available position, I feel like the technical positions would suit me most.

-*{{user|Eumat114}} '''Translator into zhwiki''' - fluent in Chinese. Might do more of the basic UI translation. Question: do you want RedWarn to still be called RedWarn in  [[zh:WP:REDWARN|the Chinese version]] or do you want a Chinese name there (e.g. 紅警示, literally "Red Warning")?

-::{{u|Eumat114}}, thanks for volunteering! Would you be willing to work with {{u|Geekpotato24}} to help it across? And what do you guys think would be a good name in Chinese? Not the biggest fan of the more literal name, or passing "RedWarn" there as it could be confused.
