Auditing the machine learning (ML) models used on Wikipedia is important for ensuring that vandalism-detection processes remain fair and effective. However, conducting audits is challenging because stakeholders have diverse priorities and assembling evidence for a model's [in]efficacy is technically complex. We designed an interface to enable editors to learn about and audit the performance of the ORES edit quality model. ORES-Inspect is an open-source web tool and a provocative technology probe for researching how editors think about auditing the many ML models used on Wikipedia. We describe the design of ORES-Inspect and our plans for further research with this system.
