Remove patroller rights

DutchTina (talk · contribs) UserRights

This user last edited more than two years ago. According to the policy, the patroller permission should be removed. Please consider restoring autopatrol.

Due to the inactivity, the IP block exemption can also be removed per policy as "No longer needed".

Best regards, TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 14:20, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Steward requests/Global permissions

Could an admin please semi-protect Steward requests/Global permissions? It's been hijacked by a swarm of IP socks. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 23:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

There appear to be 2 IP ranges only - something that could be handled by blocking. That pages hosts other discussions that non-confirmed contributors use frequently. Are you claiming that all of the IP's are the same contributor? — xaosflux ^Talk 23:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

It can be safely assumed per the duck test that 149.140.136.7 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA), 149.140.127.229 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA), 46.221.176.244 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) and 46.221.148.182 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) are all the same person.

Continued discussion about special:abusefilter/131 being set to just disallow

The prior discussion is located here, which was archived despite having no further replies.

The warning does not make sense if the changes on various wikis in question (which are mostly blanking or disruptive changes in articles) are going to be prevented anyway. As Leaderboard said Should that not be done by the disallow template? and on en.wikibooks, the disallow template (wikibooks:MediaWiki:abusefilter-disallowed) explicitly tells users what to do (and we try not to have warning + disallow filters), I agree with them as the disallow template provides information on reporting an FP on any wiki, and some wikis do not use a custom warning and/or disallow template.

One more question: is the blanking tag (in addition to being set to disallow) necessary? Thanks. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 19:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment 1. The global disallow abusefilter message is a global system message, it can be modified by each wiki for their wiki, it cannot be set at this wiki for all wikis. 2. Custom messages at metawiki for a disallow will only be presented on hits on metawiki, the system is not designed to allow custom messages to flow out to other wikis, (and if they did they are only going to be in the language of the message (English) anyway.) The system even has a message for that mediawiki:abusefilter-edit-notallowed-global-custom-msg3. The actual filter is an older global filter and was in place when the filters were targeting small and medium wikis. 4. If an abusefilter is problematic at a wiki, we have the ability to modify it in a number of ways, and that can also include excluding certain wikis, or types of wikis. 5. Tags are a separate issue, and some people use them and some people do not. If a particular tag is not useful then float the conversation in a specific sense, rather than a vague sense, as how do we respond to that?

To the filters hits I looked back over a day and a half, I am seeing a lot of IP hits, and only a few username hits, and those against usernames were definitely vandalism. If there are specific user cases of problems with the filter then please identify the specifics and we can look at those. I am not seeing a particular requirement for help from an admin here, general discussions occur elsewhere.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

So do we need it to be set to both warn and disallow+tag, not just disallow+tag straightforward? Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 22:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I agree the filter should be pruned from warn+disallow+tag to just disallow - the others are redundant and in some cases misleading. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 15:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Done, also did some clean-up and added global_user_editcount < 100 so we're more than sure it doesn't trip on SWMT members, which was the main problem with this filter. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Regarding global filter 241

This filter currently catches additions containing file://, often people trying to link a file from their computer in a page, like for example here. I was thinking that instead of merely logging it, it would be more helpful both for the projects and the people trying to add files this way, to trigger a warning explaining them what they're trying to do is not possible (and how to properly upload files). --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@KonstantinaG07 we could set it to warn, however a custom warning won't work well because it wouldn't be translated to the hundreds of languages - meaning the contributor would get MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning. Would that be better or worse? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, right, I had a custom one in mind but forgot translations are an issue here. I am now also not sure if it would be better or not. The ideal would be if these custom warnings were translatable of course. KonstantinaG07 (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Also noting that global filters do not support custom messages. If you try to save changes to a global filter with a custom message, you will receive an error. So unfortunately, we are stuck with the default MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning & MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 14:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Right, that could be an issue. I am also debating with myself if any of these two actions would cause more good or harm, with the standard, not so helpful, message. --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
