Spam blacklist log

I tried about 90 different ways to figure out how to add the log info and I appreciate you doing so for me. Can you give me a crash course so maybe I can figure it out next time? Operator873 ^connect 06:10, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Operator873, the easiest way would be to activate SBHandler at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets. Then just post the links to Talk:Spam blacklist -> SBHandler will offer you to add this to SBL & SBL-Log with two clicks (example: [1] -> [2][3] – I didn't have to do anything except clicking „save changes“).

When modifying the log manually I usually just copy previous entries. In this case I went to Spam blacklist/Log/2023/05, copied my previous log entry [4] and changed it to the links you added and the current SBL-Difflink [5]. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I already had SBHandler activated but was missing the manual part. Thanks for the answers! It's exactly what I needed. Operator873 ^connect 18:17, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Trout

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Let's have a moment of fun, because fighting vandalism every day and hours is not healthy, so with honor I award you the trout for asking for this request for global lock :DDD Superpes15 (talk) 13:56, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

I've truly earned this one 🙈 Perhaps I just wanted to test if Stewards actually read SRG reports before clicking the global lock button 😉 --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:05, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Lol this time indeed @MdsShakil: was lucky :D Maybe I'd have checked only after the lock (but shhh - let's not tell these secrets) :P Superpes15 (talk) 14:12, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Sure am glad I wasn't around! I would've probably been caught this time ;) --BRP ^ever 14:33, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

too bad that Superpes15 & Jeff G. spotted my trap ;) Johannnes89 (talk) 14:40, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Haha, thank you @Superpes15 for giving me the opportunity to dodge that global lock! But Johannnes89, let's make a deal, next time you're unsure, just give me a shout first, and I'll clear up any confusion. After all, we don't want to accidentally lock the wrong person, do we? —MdsShakil (talk) 14:43, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Let's hope there is no next time :) I usually make sure I'm reporting the right user, hope this misclick doesn't happen again. Johannnes89 (talk) 11:28, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Not the first time that has happened - [6]. However, in this case we should consider how tricky it is to use jawikinews compared to versions that have our own letters.

Also, as I didn't use the trout for the similar mishap, I have saved that for later instead of using it back on 11 June 2022. Iggy the Swan (talk) 15:58, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Question

Where should I report this on-going vandalism? This user. I want to delete spam translations but I cannot. LR0725 (talk) 05:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

+ Sorry for reporting at private user talk, but I found you were active at recent change page. I will report spam at right place next time. LR0725 (talk) 05:33, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I will take care of this and nuke all those nonsense page creations (already blocked the user). For future requests I recommend using Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. Johannnes89 (talk) 05:38, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
