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!

-Currently, there are two versions of RedWarn in development: a [[React (web framework)|React]]-based patrolling tool that runs independently from Wikipedia, and the [[wikipedia:User scripts|user script]]. The React version is in an unusable development stage, while the user script is undergoing rewriting which will convert the old [[JavaScript]] code into [[TypeScript]]. If you'd like to work on a specific version of RedWarn, please inform us as well.
