How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

WMF Global Ban Policy/List

Could you change {{div col}} to {{div col|colwidth=30em}}? Someone made changes to the template causing it to no longer work as intended, so this fixes it. 1989 (talk) 02:23, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

@1989:   Done --Minorax«¦talk¦» 10:34, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Denniss

Have you seen the name behind Denniss, a previous account that was used had died in 2011, similar to a deceased user Patrick Rogel. --Scram6699 (talk) 00:19, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@Scram6699: User is still editing so I'm not sure what you're referring to. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 01:18, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
I can explain, Harald Schultz died in 2010 while using his account under Denniss, but his last words were in German; "Ich werde Dich nie vergessen, Dein Tod war viel zu früh!" in English, "I will never forget you, your death was far too early!" Since it was never happened. Scram6699 (talk) 01:39, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
I still have no idea what you're talking about. Please contact a steward for assistance. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 02:13, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
@Minorax: His real name is Dennis Schultz (a.k.a. Denniss), the one who is living, no need to block him. Alongside with this father and last words, who died 12 years ago. Scram6699 (talk) 07:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Fix two SVGs

Hello!

I've seen you on Commons so I figured you'd be the best to ask. I found File:Wv 1.svg and File:Wv 1.svg which didn't render and the software didn't even think that they were SVGs. I tried fixing them through c:User:Rillke/SVGedit.js but I couldn't save because this wiki requires you to be an uploader or admin to do that. Maybe you who are an admin can fix them?Jonteemil (talk) 20:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

@Jonteemil: Hello. I've changed my computer and I no longer have any software to edit and upload SVGs. You might want to ask at RFH to request for the uploader user right. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 00:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

added my company to wikidata

I added my company to wiki data just not understanding why that is considered spam? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Insuranceshoppingexperts (talk)

Two things, your company is not notable and self promotion is not allowed. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 01:14, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your support

 

Greetings, Minorax. I hope all is well with you.

My name is Erica and I manage the Community Relations Specialists team at Wikimedia Foundation.

I'd like to thank you, on behalf of my team, for being among the most supportive volunteers throughout 2021. Your constantly help to improve translatable pages on metawiki does not go unnoticed.

Global-Block request

Hello Minorax, Could you globally-block Davey2022 who's impersonating me at Commons - I believe they're the same idiot who keeps posting idiotic stuff on my Meta talkpage too, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:41, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

@Davey2010: right place. Stang 18:05, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks @Stang, Filed a request there, Admittedly I would've gone there in the first place had I remembered what the page was called! :), Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 20:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

SWViewer - Filter by language/script

Hey, Minorax! Found your name while reading the SWViewer related pages.

Although I've already checked the options, is there a way to filter the wikis you get edits from in the queue by language or script? If not, is there a reason why something like this was never implemented? I mean, was that deliberate as far as you're informed? - Klein Muçi (talk) 04:06, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@Klein Muçi: I don't think so. However, you can create a preset, add in wikis and load it from there. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 06:04, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
How exactly would I be able to do that? - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:09, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi: Click on the down arrow beside "Default" at the top left corner. Click "Create". Go to "Custom wikis" and add the wikis you want to patrol. (langcodewiki for Wikipedias, langcodewiktionary for Wiktionaries, langcodewikivoyage for Wikivoyages, wikidatawiki for Wikidata, commonswiki for Commons, etc.) Click "Save". For more information, see mw:Manual:SWViewer. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:16, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Ah! Somehow I had never seen that arrow before. I only knew how to set up the general preferences. Thank you! :)) - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
