Set filter 131 to just disallow and tag? edit
I noticed that filter 131 is set to warn, and then disallow+tag the attempted edit(s), but do we need it to warn first then disallow? My suggestion is to remove the warning because the reason is about one or the other (disallow+tag). Thanks. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 18:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- The warning provides information on how to report a false positive, so may be useful. — xaosflux Talk 18:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Should that not be done by the disallow template? Leaderboard (talk) 20:38, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. For example, say in the English Wikibooks, a user blanks a page in the mainspace, and they see a warning about this action being unconstructive (that they may submit it again if appropriate), and when they do that action again, they are prevented from doing so.
- In addition, some wikis do not have a link for reporting false positives in the abusefilter-warning and disallowed interface pages that they use. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 21:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Codename Noreste: 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) Leaderboard (talk) 17:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

A request for removal a template edit
Dear administrators and bureaucrats, please undo revision 25213946 by AlPaD (talk) because the user is globally locked due to using sock puppets, and its change apperas in all the Wikimedia Foundation projects, which were made by the Wikipedian in question. Bell Park (talk) 06:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wouldn't overly fuss it, while unnecessary both are locked accounts and it makes no particular difference. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Randomly every sessions, i accessing Wikimedia sites (mostly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons) for 'editing/creating/uploading a new contents' at every day based on IP address determination, but some IP address that contains 'open proxy' such as 125.167.56.57 could be 'blocked' leading to users cannot 'editing, creating and uploading' because of IP address contains 'open proxy'.
