Please don't edit war with vandals

If we have these goofballs undoing edits, then it is usually better to get them blocked prior to reverting them. Having a undo revert war is pointless and noisy, it is also feeding the trolls.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:22, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your support

Hello. You are receiving this message because you are active in the field of translations <3 The movement needs you! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help translators figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), we are asking your help for Chinese, Ukrainian, Bengali, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Farsi, German, Cantonese, Finnish, Hindi, Thai, Dutch, and Greek, as these also matter to affiliates! If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :) Thank you! Elitre (WMF) and Facilitators of ASBS 2019, 21:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Spambot

Nicht, dass ich dir nicht glauben würde, aber wo war denn dieser Spambot aktiv? Gruß --Schniggendiller (talk) 20:05, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

@Schniggendiller: entweder im Warwiki oder gvwiki wurde von Vermont inzwischen gelöscht.--WikiBayer 👤💬 20:09, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Aha ja, es war warWP.

Problem: Du findest etwas, z. B. in warWP. Du hängst ein delete-Schild ran und gehst auf m:SRG wg. global lock/block. Bis sich das ein Steward ansieht, hat auf warWP aber vielleicht schon ein lokaler Admin oder ein global sysop gelöscht (letzteres war hier der Fall). Als Steward kann ich dann nicht mehr sehen, wo der mit evtl. gelöschten Beiträgen unterwegs war. Lediglich Treffer in globalen Filtern wären via Special:AbuseLog sichtbar (bei globalen Filtern und Wikis, die globale Filter unterstützen). Ergo ist es sinnvoll, auf SRG auf das entsprechende Wiki/die entsprechenden Wikis zu verweisen. Am kürzesten (und global funktionierend):

• [[war:Special:Contribs/110.49.101.58]] → war:Special:Contribs/110.49.101.58
• [[war:Special:DeletedContributions/110.49.101.58]] → war:Special:DeletedContributions/110.49.101.58
• [[war:Special:Log/spamblacklist/110.49.101.58]] → war:Special:Log/spamblacklist/110.49.101.58

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

Deutsch | English | español | français | italiano | 한국어 | Nederlands | português | Türkçe | русский | العربية | Tiếng Việt | edit

Congratulations, WikiBayer! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta-Wiki. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin^connect. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta. Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators. You're also allowed to subscribe the metawiki admins private mailing list. Again, congratulations and welcome to the team. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

What are you DOING???? This is not within your athority as a global syso. Dont' just fullfil some interface-request by an outsider that doesn't know shit about tyhe project without consulting with local sysops first! This needs to be reverted! Seb az86556 (talk) 06:25, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

See request on SRM These are important links from MediaWiki. Removing these links will affect operation.

GS, Stewards and Global Interface Administrators are also authorized to make changes that fix impairments in the operation of the Mediawiki software.

Serious processing of the surface is generally not permitted without community consensus. Since this code represents an impairment, I assume that you wrote this code single-handedly at the time.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 06:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

A local sysop asked you to not make changes at their wiki, that is a completely reasonable request and you should give that request due consideration, not just apparently dismiss it. Your changes to their common.css page were uncommented in both the edit summary and the talk page, and nothing on their general VP with any reference to [[SRM]. Would that be suitable at your home wiki? So, to me, the criticism is fully and duly delivered. Your response seems tone deaf, and dismissive, and that is not how global sysops should or seen to be acting to that wiki's admins. Please could you reflect on your approach; we work as a team. Global sysop is not a free pass, and really we should be doing more rather than less documentation when we act.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:11, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Urk, I misspoke, you did have a link to the SRM permalink, though suggest more overt something targeted to the section. I retract that part of the criticism.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:16, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Looking at the original request, why was it not directed to the wiki itself, it had admins, why would a global sysop undertake that action rather than suggest to the requester to ask locally first?  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:22, 25 June 2020 (UTC) This case has already been resolved elsewhere. This was an interface editing that a local user could not do.

Question

What LTA is the German swear word vandal? --one + one 20:46, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Title blacklist

I believe that your changes to the title blacklist today were premature. There was no urgent requirement for a change, where a discussion about a long term regex could take place. As admins here it is our job to implement a consensus, some determined from previous discussion, some following discussions now. Can I ask that you please take adequate time in decision-making, not acting unilaterally just because someone asks. Where a wiki requires an immediate remedy, they have complete control through local tools to make whichever exclusions they like. Point them to those tools, and allow a discussion to continue and a decision with understood consequences to take place.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:54, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

The reason I removed this one RegEx prevents articles from people that exist in multiple wikis (large and medium sized). Thus, this regex is generally an obstacle for other projects that translate the articles. For the further RegEx I have informed the deWiki admins of the possibility of an entry in the title whitelist.-𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 00:28, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

@Billinghurst:To the blacklist entry: The title blacklist entries also interfere with good contributions and has been ineffective against the abuse of the troll for about 1 year, as it always creates them with wrong titles. These entries are better to combat with the global abuse filter that analyzes the content.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 15:06, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Removal of my old username

Hello,

My old username can be linked to sensitive information and that is why I changed it. Could you please delete the page and stop reverting my deletion request?

Best regards

--NoFWDaddress^(d) 16:18, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Your old username cannot be deleted completely. Name changes are always noted in all projects in the logbook and the forwarding to the discussion is required so that the links on other pages continue to work.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬

Hello WikiBayer. A simple explanation like this one whould have been welcomed.

I understand your point. But deleting the talk page will reveal the rename (since the log is diplayed) while sending a 404 to the web browser, so that it doesn't get archived by search engines (See this page for example).

This would allow me to remove the NOINDEX from my talk page, while still giving the information to where to find me if needed.

Best, NoFWDaddress^(d) 19:57, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Would you please agree to delete the page? The move log will then be displayed, so it is still transparent for the end user. NoFWDaddress^(d) 10:16, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@NoFWDaddress I can't delete this. The link or redirect is required by the Global rename policy. Don't make a editwar with delete requests or blanking this page.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 10:52, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

The policy requires a visible link (like the log entries that appears when the page gets deleted) and not a redirect. Can I ask another admin since you seem not to want to discuss this issue or to be sensible to the origin of it (off-wiki harassment)? NoFWDaddress^(d) 11:55, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

NoFWDaddress A logbook entry is not "duly and visibly". I understand what you mean. This case would need to be discussed in greater detail, but this attracts even more attention. In addition, if you hope to be able with off-wiki harassment in this way, this will do very little. The people who have a name know it anyway, and your old name remains visible.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 12:27, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Would you agree with a soft redirect then? The content would be __NOINDEX__{{Soft redirect|User talk:NoFWDaddress}}. NoFWDaddress^(d) 12:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Hallo, ich bin normaler Admin, technische Admins hat das nds-wiktionary nicht. Du hast dort an Sylvester eine Änderung vorgenommen, https://nds.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.js&curid=5101&diff=140483&oldid=134392 Vielleicht kannst du mir auch bei einem anderen Problem helfen. Mithilfe der "MediaWiki:Edit.js" sollte man eigentlich beim Editieren die jeweilige Vorlage in das Editier-Fenster übernommen bekommen, wenn man diese unten anklickt. Nur irgendjemand muss irgendetwas geändert haben, so dass das schon lange nicht mehr funktioniert. Selbst wenn ich noch alle Berechtigungen besitzen würde, ich bin einfach überfordert, herauszufinden, woran es liegt, warum es nicht mehr funktioniert, und wie man es wieder zum Laufen bringt. Und es wäre sehr lieb, wenn du dir das einmal anschauen würdest, und versuchen würdest, den Fehler zu finden. Ursprünglich habe ich die edit.js im englischen Wiktionary "geklaut", auch noch viel mehr, weil deren Vorlagen und Module usw. bei uns besser passen als das von den deutschen Schwesterprojekten. Allerdings mehr als anpassen kann ich die nicht, das fällt mir schon schwer, aber wenn irgendwo einer irgendetwas ändert, ich nicht einmal weiß, was geändert wurde, bin ich völlig überfordert. Und es würde auf Dauer die Arbeit doch sehr vereinfachen, wenn man wieder die Vorlagen durch einfachen Mausklick in das Editierfenster bekäme statt mit Paste and Copy. --Joachim Mos (talk) 12:22, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Please, let us know if it is a false positive or not (in my opinion, this detection on line #16 is too large, but I may be wrong). Supertoff (talk) 16:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes this is a false positive. I have remove this line. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 16:30, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Unblock

Hello. I've unblocked U.S.S.R+RUSSIA, as though the username is concerning, it is certainly not blockable. The account also hasn't edited yet. Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 01:12, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

I don't think we should allow such names.

I see the username as inconsistent with the Global Username Policy, mainly due to recent events.

You had your chance

Moin WikiBayer, ich will dich nicht dazu überreden, deine Stimme zu ändern, aber anregen, für künftige Fälle drüber nachzudenken, ob diese strikte Haltung [3] nicht vielleicht etwas zu streng ist. Insbesondere jungen Leuten gegenüber, deren charakterliche Entwicklung noch nicht abgeschlossen war, muss man doch auch Fehler zugestehen können und zumindest in Erwägung ziehen, mit ausreichend Abstand eine zweite Chance zu ermöglichen? Viele Grüße Johannnes89 (talk) 11:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Eine zweite Chance gebe ich schon her, trotzdem muss ein Kandidat die Vorraussetzungen erfüllen. GS sind vertrauenswürdige Benutzer, dies ist Tulsi definitiv nicht. Außerdem gilt das. Tulsi versucht seitdem er entsperrt wurde, in allen möglichen Projekten rechte zubekommen seine Tätigkeiten sind gezielt so ausgelegt das er die bekommt. Dazu kommt noch, dass er offensichtlich der Meinung das Rechte ein Statussymbol sind. Nebenbei Zitat:"jungen Leuten" er ist ~ ungefähr gleich alt wie ich es bin.

Moin, danke für die Rückmeldung, dann hab ich deinen Beitrag harscher aufgefasst, als du es meintest. Klang für mich so, als würdest du prinzipiell gegen zweite Chancen bei solchen Ämtern sein. Wollte wie gesagt gar nicht über den konkreten Kandidaten diskutieren, deine konkreten Ablehnungsgründe verstehe ich natürlich. Viele Grüße Johannnes89 (talk) 09:42, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Sie war mit dem Wikidata-Objekt Category:Candidates for speedy deletion (Q5964) verbunden – sie soll also eine Schnelllöschkategorie gewesen sein und deshalb ist es normal, dass sie leer war. – Tacsipacsi (talk) 12:05, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Your block reasons

Hello WikiBayer. I noticed you have been making a large number of blocks, both as a global sysop and a meta admin, with the logged reason "Long-term idiot". This is counterproductive and sets a bad example for other users. Please stop. Thanks, AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:04, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Seconding the above. I understand being annoyed with LTAs, but the point of providing a summary is to inform both the blocked user and others (readers, local communities, etc.) about why an action was made. These "long-term idiot" summaries are unhelpful and not what is expected from global sysops. Please do not use summaries like this in the future.

Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS

Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an ongoing discussion on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed Third-party resources policy aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the policy talk page.

Have a great day!

Samuel (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Security team 23:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

File talk pages that you deleted in the Breton wiki

Hello,

You mass-deleted many file talk pages created by an anonymous user in the Breton wiki recently. In fact this user was really helping to locate files that were not useful because there were identical files in Commons, or because of license issues. Additionally, you only deleted the talk pages and not the files themselves, which is not a useful action in my opinion since they contained the reason for the deletion request.

Regards, Huñvreüs (talk) 09:07, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

The IP has create Talkpages only with one word. There was nothing in the talk pages about the pictures, it was not to be recognized here that this should be a deletion request. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 09:54, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Vorschlag

Was hältst du davon, Requests for comment/IP-Info for global groups erneut für ip-view-full durchzuführen? Die Rechte sind mE quasi redundant (ohne ipinfo keine IP, aber mit IP könnte man auch Whois nutzen), aber leider getrennt. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 18:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Das letzte Signal seitens der WMF war, dass die Richtlinie zum IP Infotool vermutlich nochmal angepasst wird, weil sie unsinnigerweise strikter ist als die Berechtigung zum Zugriff auf die IP-Adresse.

Insofern bitte also erstmal abwarten, ob die WMF nicht einfach von sich aus die Rechte ändert, dann brauchts gar kein RfC. Johannnes89 (talk) 19:07, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

oops, accidentally send before posting all the links. Question is: should we put these link on the spam blacklist or just monitor them (it seems to me, that the intention is not linkspam but spamming those people/companies, so they might just shift to using new links for those page creations?) --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

... some more links [30][31][32] Johannnes89 (talk) 14:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm considering setting up a global abuse filter to monitor page creations using these links? --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Comment @Johannnes89: THOUGHTS. I have a really light (proto-)filter at haWP that was doing some identification based on use of certain English-language words, so we could have an OR component that looks for the words and a section that looks for the problematic domains. I will also note that it haWP, igWP, etc. should be more used as identifying wikis, as the spam is also taking place in esWP and other wikis just more hidden among many more good edits. Re blacklisting, do it if they meet the blacklist criteria, otherwise we can prevent through the filter, if they are okay domains to use, though are abused through this user cases.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

fyi I'm using Special:AbuseFilter/338 to monitor IP/newbie page creations using any of the links I've identified and have added the content of your haWP filter to this global filter. Johannnes89 (talk) 19:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Abuse filter #300

Hi! I'm a sysop on itwiki. Can you take a look at the global abuse filter #300? I noticed it has been triggering on itwiki, but the edits look mostly fine to me. As an example, the attempted edits on "Magi (Bibbia)" are pretty harmless. I also checked the last two months and only a few of them seem to warrant a trigger. I'm contacting you because the only thing I can see is that you edited the filter last, but feel free to ping other people. Thanks! --Titore (talk) 10:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

@Titore It's true, there were false positives. But I wasn't aware of them because they got lost among the thousands of entries in the log. I have edited the filter a little.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 16:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Follow up on answer at stewards' noticeboard

Hi @WikiBayer, thanks for answering my request at the noticeboard. However, I am not sure how to proceed from here. I cannot request a local interface administator on eswiki to make an edit on MediaWiki:Gadget-MoreMenu.messages.es.js since they (or we, as I'm a local interface administrator on eswiki too) do not have permission to edit MediaWiki-namespaced pages on Meta. I haven't found any IA-specific noticeboard for meta on the IA page or among the sitelinks of the corresponding Wikidata item. How do you usually proceed when you need an action made from an interface admin on Meta? thank you in advance. Nacaru · Talk ✉ 15:30, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Dear WikiBayer, this is to let you know that I have reverted you deletion of this page on the local wiki per Meta-Wiki decisions on what's SPAM can't override local wiki-community decisions about what content's appropriate. Showing cross-wiki SPAM or steward/global sysop action as reasons is irrelevant in these cases. In the future please avoid deleting local content in any wiki without discussions with local community. Thank you for understanding. Regards, ttWP admin en:Farhad Fatkullin - Frhdkazan (talk) 15:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

@Frhdkazan"Meta-Wiki decisions on what's SPAM can't override local wiki-community decision" ??? Heavyrain111 was the only editor. If the local community has not yet do anything, no decision can be overide. Deleting crosswiki spam is standard procedure when the local community has doing nothing to these pages, as in this case. It is also not possible to put every clear spam up for discussion. There are over 800 projects for GS/Stewards and most of them would not get a response anyway. This was clearly spam (which, by the way, was not only deleted by me. Local admins of larger projects had already deleted the spam). 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 17:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
