Event organizer for User:Mel61226

- Question: , since our policy requires at least 500 edits, in order to ensure you have some editing skills on projects, could you add something about that? May be you have edited under another username? Thanks, --M/ (talk) 08:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

- per Meta:Event organizers it's 300 edits (which are almost fulfilled) and that's just one of multiple optional requirements (they just need to meet one of those). This request appears to meet the criterion "plan to organize a Wikimedia event"? --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Interwiki map update
editCould an admin please handle the requests at Talk:Interwiki map? I've done most of them but the rest are things proposed by me which means I shouldn't implement them per my reading of Meta:Administrators#Involved administrators. Thanks. Note the process for handling these has recently changed - edits are now made to a JSON page at interwiki map/list. * Pppery * it has begun 18:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think I've done most of it. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 21:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Remaining open requests
- Talk:Interwiki map#Fandom - lots of discussion, needs an admin to assess consensus.
- Talk:Interwiki map#Several frequently used sites on Wikimedia Commons - nothing technically blocking it but the relevant agreement to do it was reached very recently so I think it's best to wait longer before editing the map itself.
- Talk:Interwiki map#Miraheze - on hold pending upstream stuff I think, but I haven't been following this closely.
- Talk:Interwiki map#Wikimedia API Portal - on hold pending upstream stuff.
- Talk:Interwiki map#shoutwiki - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action
- Talk:Interwiki map#wmve - on hold pending upstream stuff
- Talk:Interwiki map#aquariumwiki - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action
- Talk:Interwiki map#git, Talk:Interwiki map#zum - largely theoretical and don't need to be handled now
- Talk:Interwiki map#aew - will eventually need an admin but not ready for action yet
- Talk:Interwiki map#Wikimedia Quality - ready for admin action IMO
- Talk:Interwiki map#dict, dictionary - needs substantive input from others on what should be done, not admin action

Proposal to create a new email prevention filter
editI propose creating a new filter that can stop emails from being added to pages (by edits and summaries) locally on Meta [this email filter will be private to prevent others' personal information from being leaked in the abuse log], and here's the message I have in mind:
abusefilter-disallowed-email proposed message | ||
---|---|---|
{{abuse filter warning | filter = 351 | action = warn | friendly = yes | text = <div style="text-align: center;">'''[[Main Page|Welcome to Meta-Wiki!]]'''</div> Your edit has triggered an automated filter and has been disallowed; it looks like you are trying to add an email address to this page. Doing that, especially with a personal email address, is usually a bad idea as it can attract large amounts of [[External links policy|spam]]. In most cases, Meta-Wiki will remove email addresses that are added to pages or discussion pages. If you are attempting to add a legitimate email address to this page, and this filter is preventing you from doing so, please '''do not''' file a false positive report. Instead, please follow the instructions at [[Template:Nospam]] to add an email address using <code>{{nospam|example|example.domain}}</code>. If you believe you received this warning in error, you may [[Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat|report it to an administrator]]. }}
|
Anyone can propose changes to (or modify) the message, and any administrator can email me for the code, but does anyone have a list of legitimate Wikimedia addresses that should be excluded from the filter? Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Codename Noreste, I have prepared a filter, that has to be activated. I am reviewing it against the 100 latest edits and I will enable it later today or tomorrow morning. Thanks for your valuable input and the pre-formatted messages. For those that are willing to put an eye, the filter is #352 and has been imported from it.wiki #95. --M/ (talk) 09:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- M7, I would recommend renaming 352 to Adding email addresses and set this to just disallow with the custom message I made without being set to both warn and disallow. Doing these latter two is not relevant because there's no reason to show the user two warning messages. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 15:47, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Codename Noreste, after applying your suggestions, I have enabled the filter. Thanks --M/ (talk) 17:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
