Hi all! First of all, I am not pleased that this situation got to the stage when stewards need to be involved but I am left with no choice, so I ask stewards to look into following set of events. Being admin on ukwikibooks I descovered that [[User:Baranov107]] was baned indefinitely by global sysop Praxidicae with rationale "Spambot". Straightaway I thought that it looks weird because 1) user certainly does not look like a bot 2) two years ago user had decent contribution [[uk:b:Гітара]] (which involved link to other website but it was not off). Later I dicovered that user was banned on all small wiki projects. In [[User_talk:Praxidicae#More_than_100+_reverts!|conversation]] with global sysop I discovered that reason for ban were spam contributions to OTHER projects. These edits indeed look spammy but I do not see clear reason for bans on small wiki projects. On ukwiki, user also had some not bad contributions. I understand that at least some of edits were definiely spam, such bans on small wikis seems to me as rushed decision, better to be held by local admins, who understand language. I ask stewards to give their opinion on this situation. [[User:Renvoy|re<span style="color: green">'''NV'''</span>oy]] <small>[[User talk:Renvoy|(user talk)]]</small> 13:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC) |

The feature is currently available on Indonesian, French, and Spanish Wikipedia. We hope to make it available to English Wikipedia rollbackers in the coming month. |

:I've already explained why I blocked them - I'll gladly change the reason to "spammer" as spambot is just an automated edit summary. They have only contributed copyright violations and SEO spam (which they are '''paid''' to insert cross wiki, to the tune of hundreds of edits). Which has also resulted in their URLs being blacklisted. If any functionary/steward would like, I'll also gladly send the off (and even on-wiki evidence, where Baranov admits on my meta talk page that they were abusing their editing rights) wiki evidence if needed. The only outcome here should be a global lock for Baranov's account. [[User:Praxidicae|Praxidicae]] ([[User talk:Praxidicae|talk]]) 13:42, 12 September 2022 (UTC) |

:[[User:Renvoy|Renvoy]], thank you for your concern in this case. It's difficult when people, especially longer-term editors, mix good contributions in with policy-violating ones. The prevailing goal here is certainly to prevent ongoing abuse of Wikimedia projects, and if this user continues with their cross-wiki link spam a lock would likely be necessary independent of the positive contributions.

You can learn more about the feature and its development on our [[mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandalism#|project page]]. Edit Patrol does not intend to replace existing patrolling tools, rather fill some gaps that have been highlighted in the mobile space. Prior to writing a single line of code, the team conducted interviews with patrollers and conducted a comparative review of existing patrolling tools. Throughout development, we have continued to incorporate feedback from members of the community. We prioritized collaboration with communities that have traditionally had difficulty utilizing existing tools, specifically folks using mobile devices. |

::@[[User:Vermont|Vermont]] I totally understand that. If steward decides to lock account on the basis of cross-wiki spam, thats their decision, however my concern is that prior to such decision, global sysop bans user on every small wiki, where user had edits for edits in other wikis. The only case where I think it is acceptible to do so is in case of abuse of multiple accounts. I think Praxidicae does great job of seeking cross-wiki spam but this particular case makes me worry a little.

:::We are all humans, and all have opinions. The GS is doing their best job to protect the wikis from abuse. The editor is mixing good and bad, and there should be no expectation that we have to wade through that rubbish, and the user has total control over being a good editor. To me this only belongs on the talk page of the GS, no where else, there has been no abuse, and you are welcome to leave your opinion and suggestions for improvements. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 13:02, 13 September 2022 (UTC) |

After initial release, we heard requests to add access to user talk warning templates in the talk page message flow. Users are now able to search and use user talk warning templates as part of the tool. For languages that do not have user warning templates, the team reviewed messages across languages & created 10 example messages that will be preloaded into the app: you can learn more about those messages and leave feedback [[mw:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandalism/Saved_Messages|here]]. |
|||
The feature currently allows users to view the feed of recent edits for only one language wiki at a time (the primary language set in their app), but we are interested to hear if there is a preference from multi-wiki rollbackers to have the ability of patrolling multiple languages in a single feed. |

Introducing Edit Patrol: Assisting Rollbackers on the Wikipedia Android App
The Mobile Apps team has recently released a new feature in the Android app to assist rollbackers in patrolling from their mobile device without leaving the Android app. Edit Patrol is a suggested edit that allows users with rollback rights to view the recent changes feed, with access to undo, rollback, thank, and post talk page messages.
The feature is currently available on Indonesian, French, and Spanish Wikipedia. We hope to make it available to English Wikipedia rollbackers in the coming month.
You can learn more about the feature and its development on our project page. Edit Patrol does not intend to replace existing patrolling tools, rather fill some gaps that have been highlighted in the mobile space. Prior to writing a single line of code, the team conducted interviews with patrollers and conducted a comparative review of existing patrolling tools. Throughout development, we have continued to incorporate feedback from members of the community. We prioritized collaboration with communities that have traditionally had difficulty utilizing existing tools, specifically folks using mobile devices.
After initial release, we heard requests to add access to user talk warning templates in the talk page message flow. Users are now able to search and use user talk warning templates as part of the tool. For languages that do not have user warning templates, the team reviewed messages across languages & created 10 example messages that will be preloaded into the app: you can learn more about those messages and leave feedback here.
The feature currently allows users to view the feed of recent edits for only one language wiki at a time (the primary language set in their app), but we are interested to hear if there is a preference from multi-wiki rollbackers to have the ability of patrolling multiple languages in a single feed.
Please check out this presentation with more information, and a demonstration of the feature to learn more. If you have any questions or feedback, we welcome it on the project’s discussion page, or please attend our open demonstration hours for this feature on Google Meet on the 26th of April 2024 at 18 UTC (You can determine the right time in your time zone using a time zone converter tool).
Looking forward to see you all.
