== Quarry question (inactive admins) ==


Hey,


I used to help meta crats with [[quarry:query/43505]], and the actor migration broke everything. I don't recall how they mitigated it in Oct 2019.


== Sanitized Css ==
I see you have [[quarry:query/40716]], so maybe can you help me with changing the logics? Thanks! &mdash;&nbsp;regards, [[User:-revi|<span style="color:green;font-family:Courier new, serif;font-variant:small-caps">Revi</span>]] 15:58, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

== Problema with 2FA ==


Hi Xaosflux!<br />I'm [[m:User:!Silent]]. I received your email today to activate 2FA on my account, but after activating it I can no longer log into it. I chose the WebAuthn option with the option to leave the password stored on my smartphone, but every time I try to log Windows asks me to put in a USB device; I put my smartphone in and it didn't work. Would there be a way to disable 2FA so I can choose another option? [[User:&#33;SilentTest|&#33;SilentTest]] ([[User talk:&#33;SilentTest|talk]]) 01:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, since you nominated the page for deletion, I had moved the offending remarks to a non-global user subpage per [[Special:diff/20483052]]. Subsequently I restored this page to the current non offending look. Hope you are okay with this. I am sort of involved by !voting but I see no further participation so I boldly moved it. I am of course required to revert if you contest. Sorry for any trouble caused. [[User:Camouflaged Mirage|Camouflaged Mirage]] ([[User talk:Camouflaged Mirage|talk]]) 17:31, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

:@[[User:!SilentTest|!SilentTest]] WebAuthn is the much less recommended option. Use the same device to log on, '''and''' do it on the same project that you enrolled on (e.g. if you set it up at pt.wiki, you have to log on there.). To unenroll and reset use [[Special:Manage_Two-factor_authentication]] on that project. I suggest you use TOTP as it is more supported.

== International Women Day ==

So... I disagree with one of your actions and I would like to ask you to reconsider. If you do not want to reconsider, I would like to ask you to explain exactly why you made that decision (I recognise that there might be something I am missing and that your decision is a good one. But right now, I do not get it). But please, either revert what you did, or explain why the change.

The change you made : you set up the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CentralNotice&subaction=noticeDetail&notice=InternationalWomensDayMonth the Central Notice Banner for Woman Day] at low priority and 2 max impressions. Why ?

If I summarize
# diversity, and in particular gender diversity, is a priority of Strategy 2030. So I take it our efforts toward the events next week is something that could be supported
# to avoid multiplication of banner requests, many groups working on Gender Gap this year made the effort to actually COLLABORATE to create a global landing page ([[Gender gap/International Women's Day]]) where all gender gap activities related to 8th of March would be listed. We could have had separate pages and make dozen of requests. We worked together to avoid such a situation. Perhaps we should have done dozen of banners instead ?
# activities are not something someone can decide to join at the last minute. This requires a bit of anticipation and planning. So editors need to be aware of what will happen right now. Not on March 8th. We need the banner operating properly right now. Not only on March 8th
# the banner is limited in time. Only 10 days. It is not a big drain on readers attention

So what is the argument to set that banner to low priority ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Apologies, I didn't notice that <code>article_text</code> was depreciated. Is there a performance issue with that though? [[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] ([[User talk:Leaderboard|talk]]) 20:30, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Problema with 2FA[edit]

Hi Xaosflux!
I'm m:User:!Silent. I received your email today to activate 2FA on my account, but after activating it I can no longer log into it. I chose the WebAuthn option with the option to leave the password stored on my smartphone, but every time I try to log Windows asks me to put in a USB device; I put my smartphone in and it didn't work. Would there be a way to disable 2FA so I can choose another option? !SilentTest (talk) 01:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@!SilentTest WebAuthn is the much less recommended option. Use the same device to log on, and do it on the same project that you enrolled on (e.g. if you set it up at pt.wiki, you have to log on there.). To unenroll and reset use Special:Manage_Two-factor_authentication on that project. I suggest you use TOTP as it is more supported. (This is warned about in Help:Two-factor_authentication#Web_Authentication_Method) — xaosflux Talk 02:47, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you are still unable to recover, you will need to contact ca@wikimedia.org for additional help. This should be done from the email address you use for password recovery. Only that team can forcibly have your 2FA disabled, after they use alternative means to authenticate you. — xaosflux Talk 02:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
