question

As far as I can see, there are many users have been report to Steward requests/Global‎ but this request now are not processed. Can you process them? Do Tri ✓ 💬 16:55, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @MTRIProd, I'm not a steward, just a local admin on this project, as such I cannot issue global locks/blocks. We'll just have to wait until more stewards have time for processing the SRG backlog :)

PS: I noticed you recently started welcoming users on Meta. This is not needed with IPs [1][2][3], as most IP addresses are usually assigned dynamically and therefore won't notice your welcome message anyway. Additionally it's not worth sending welcome message to every account you come across while patrolling – example accounts [4], accounts with zero edits on Meta [5] or accounts whose only contributions are spam/vandalism [6] don't need welcome messages as well. Johannnes89 (talk) 17:38, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion. But I think any user on Meta is welcome. Thankyou anyway (in viwiki I also did it). Do Tri ✓ 💬 17:41, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Of course any good faith user is welcome, no issue with welcoming them, thanks for your effort.

But the linked examples simply didn't need a welcome template, the example user [7] doesn't even exist on Meta [8] and welcoming spambots is just a waste of resources (see en:WP:RBI). Johannnes89 (talk) 17:52, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

You are right. I will learn from experience. Thanks for helping me. Do Tri ✓ 💬 17:57, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Hi, I now have rollbacker permission on viwiki (see [9]). I don't know if on Meta I can apply for rollbacker or autopatroller permission? I would like to be involved in anti-vandalism and maintenance work on this Meta. Do Tri ✓ 💬 04:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89: Do Tri ✓ 💬 15:10, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

granted you autopatrolled. you could still gain more experience, but overall your edits don't need to be patrolled by other users. Johannnes89 (talk) 10:34, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Thank you. I will try my best. Do Tri ✓ 💬 11:53, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Can you delete this page User:Nehagup because this page has been created for ads. Do Tri ✓ 💬 14:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Was done by another admin in the meantime. Generally there is no need to rush, there's no harm if this page stays live for a couple of hours. There are multiple pages in Category:Deleteme, that's why new requests for speedy deletion sometimes take a few hours until they get noticed by an active admin. Johannnes89 (talk) 18:29, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Thank you. I understand. Do Tri ✓ 💬 07:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Hi, I'm currently patrolling the Meta manually and that can make patrolling less efficient. I have learned about the SWViewer tool and learned that it is only used when the account must have the right to reverse edit in the project they are involved in or the right to reverse edit globally. In addition, the tool is installed using the personal script SWViewer.js. Can you give me some advice on this? Thank you. Do Tri ✓ 💬 07:28, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

SWViewer is a web application, you don't need to install any script, just visit https://swviewer.toolforge.org/

You don't need rollback rights in the specific projects you want to use SWViewer, just having rollback rights at any local projects will be sufficient for using the tool everywhere. Most often, people get rollback rights at their home wiki when fighting vandalism there, you might want to check vi:Wikipedia:Lùi sửa.

Personally I think SWViewer ist a great tool for fighting crosswiki vandalism and patrolling many small projects at once. But for projects like Meta I'm usually patrolling through Special:RecentChanges manually. Johannnes89 (talk) 08:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. Do Tri ✓ 💬 08:39, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 I don't know with my current experience and contributions, can I be granted the right to global rollbacker? Do Tri ✓ 💬 09:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

see Global rollback: „users must be demonstrably active in cross-wiki counter-vandalism or anti-spam activities (...) and make heavy use of revert on many wikis“. These criteria are not fulfilled, as you have just a few edits outside your home wiki and meta. Besides global rollback is rarely granted to users without local rollback rights anywhere.

I recommend taking your time to gain more experience at your home wiki. Once you are a truly experience user at viwiki, it's much easier to get accustomed to the relevant global & local policies if you want to get active at other wikis as well. Johannnes89 (talk) 09:30, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 In viwiki, from patrolling and learning from other members, I have gained a lot of experience in conservation and anti-vandal work. At Meta I also want to contribute some of my efforts to anti-vandalism. Of course, there are necessary support tools for patrol work. I will actively contribute cross-wiki, especially on viwiki and meta wiki because it is my biggest shared home. Thank you. Do Tri ✓ 💬 09:49, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Help

Can you check this page's edits? Thank you. Do Tri ✓ 💬 01:43, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Has been reverted/protected by Vermont/Minorax. For future incidents, please report persistent vandalism on Meta to RFH. Asking individual admins for help might very likely result in situations like this one where they are not active at the time.

By the way: SRG ist only intended for crosswiki issues, local vandalism [10] should not be reported there. Use RFH instead if it's more than one or two test edits, which don't need to be reported if the vandalism stops on its own. Johannnes89 (talk) 07:41, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Many thanks. Do Tri ✓ 💬 07:43, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 When I access to RFH, the bulletin board with my language is misspelled. How to fix that error? See:

@Johannnes89 Hi, can you help me check backlink.com link if it should be blacklisted globally. Because on viwiki this link is considered as spam link. A viwiki member provided, this link is used a lot on sister wiki projects (see vi:Thảo luận Thành viên:DANG GIAO#Link). Thank you. Do Tri ✓ 💬 12:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes the link (I think you mean backlinko.com and not backlink.com?) is indeed used a lot globally [11]. I agree it should better not be used per en:WP:Reliable sources - especially since the website is clearly aimed at search engine optimization.

But looking at some random pages using the link it seems to me the link was used by long-term editors in good faith across various projects and not spammed.

Anyway this should be raised at Talk:Spam blacklist in order to allow proper discussion. Personally I wouldn't blacklist the link until it has been replaced properly (or removed if it was spammed) at all articles using it. Johannnes89 (talk) 19:29, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 This link has been reported at Talk:Spam_blacklist#backlinko.com and it doesn't seem to be accepted. But in viwiki this link has been moved to Spamblacklist (see vi:Wikipedia:Tin_nhắn_cho_bảo_quản_viên#Báo_cáo_liên_kết_rác_24). In my User talk:MTRIProd#Global lock had a problem with User:Md Sunnat Ali Mollik. Can you solve it? Many thanks. Do Tri ✓ 💬 13:48, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

I replied on your talk page. Please make sure you are familiar with the relevant policies before you mistakenly direct a user to the wrong place to file an appeal (or perhaps inadvertently encourage him in his behavior). Johannnes89 (talk) 16:41, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 I just direct users to the unblock request page so they can work with sysops and administrators. I don't know what's wrong with you saying I'm directing users to the wrong place to solve their forbidden problem? Do Tri ✓ 💬 04:14, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

You told them to „request your problem at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat or Steward requests/Global“

Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat is a page for requesting help from local Meta admins/bureaucrats. We cannot decide about global locks, that's purely a Steward issue.

Steward requests/Global clearly states at the page intro „Globally blocked or locked users should appeal to stewardswikimediaorg or UTRS“, as does the policy page Global locks.

SRG should only be used for unlock requests by other users (not the locked user) if a lock happened by mistake (e.g. accidentally selecting the wrong user name).

Therefore both pages were the wrong place to solve their problem, which you could have known by reading the page intro. That's what I would like to see: You taking your time to gain experience, learning about the relevant policies before getting involved in matters you don't know enough about. Johannnes89 (talk) 07:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 Oh, Thanks for your comments. I understand. I just want to help other users to solve their problem. Finally, many thanks. Do Tri ✓ 💬 12:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Sockpuppet of banned user. Notifying you because you deleted his user page.

User:Thiscouldbeauser2. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:20, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Koavf I recommend using Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat next time, as individual admins might not always be available. Has been blocked by another sysop in the meantime :) --Johannnes89 (talk) 19:04, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

I posted it to global lock as he's WMF banned, but there is no administrator's noticeboard here, so I wasn't sure of the appropriate venue. Thanks kindly/danke schon/bedankt. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:42, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

merged some regex on spam blacklist

After further exploring I found that we had some other problematic variations of new88, so I have made a more complex regex, and merged some of your earlier lines. We also have an issue with the upload of images at commons using new88, so have flagged that with Achim55 over there. I may have to look at abuse filter or other file block measures, but not for now.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Heavy disruption at mk.wiki

I'd like to ask for help again with the goings-on on my userpage, specifically this part of my user talk page. This guy (I think he is only one), I constantly block his accouts, but comes out with new ones based on new IPs because he uses proxy. We've had a lot of trouble from him doing the same anonymously from IP-addresses. It is only you as a global sysop or your colleagues that can deal with this. He keeps babbling some nonsense, constantly revers admins and sysops, insults everyone, makes stories up and even made an account with my surname in it, also containing an offensive word in its name. Not to mention how he labeled you. I don't understand how we still don't have a way of getting rid of him. I'm sure everyone on our wiki (especially the amdmins) will be very grateful if you (or a colleague) can find a higher-level solition to this menace. Thnanks a lot. B. Jankuloski (talk) 12:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Bjankuloski06, I'm very sorry that en:WP:LTA/GRP decided to target your user talk page with such blatant harassment of you & other users. Unfortunately he is rapidly changing his IP using endless open proxies, which allows him to evade any block very quickly.

Unfortunately as a global sysop there is not much I can do to help you, as per global sysop policy mkwiki is not a wiki where global sysop permissions are enabled (unless your community decides to opt-in). I recommend protecting the articles / talk pages / user talk pages he usually vandalizes. It sometimes helps to keep him away if all of his preferred targets for vandalism are protected.

In the meantime I'll check if I can improve global abuse filter Special:AbuseFilter/214 – or perhaps @1234qwer1234qwer4 can take a look at it, as you are more familiar with it? Johannnes89 (talk) 13:19, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

PS: It also helps a bit to do revision deletions of his attacks, so that he cannot re-revert with one click but instead has to write some text again. Johannnes89 (talk) 13:29, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Indeed there is not really a way of preventing their abuse completely. I made some additions to the filter but they can be pretty quick at finding new ways to post their nonsense. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 15:08, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the advise. We haven't had to deal with this sort of thing all these years excpet the odd troll and spamming, but no one has been this persistent before. Nor have they opened that many accounts and pretended to be different people from different genders that agitate for each other, and on such lack of grounds. It's all things that are imaginary in his head, hence his persistence and lack of reason. I've tried to find out what he actually wants and can't understand it, even when he says it in his own language (which I speak and write fluently). A hard case. It may be wise to delete revisions, as you say, but then he goes onto other places like Wikidata and messes with my edits there for revenge. I'll try my best with the deletions and I'll be glad to hear about whatever improvements you could make in the filter. B. Jankuloski (talk) 23:40, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Active users/users

Hi! Why this page in Polish (i_think) language? Is there english version of it? Salazarov 03:45, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Salazarov, I don't know, you would have to ask @Przykuta. Seems like this page is hopelessly outdated anyway as it has never been updated. I recommend https://stats.wikimedia.org if you want to find out about current stats of your wiki. Johannnes89 (talk) 07:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
