Filter 300 causing some false positives on the Spanish Wikipedia

• Special:AbuseFilter/300 (private)

See Special:AbuseLog/2962907. A user added a fact about homo sapiens, and this was a Wikipedia education project. Unfortunately, the filter is written in German so I cannot understand it at all. Could you fix this? Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 16:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

This was due to several factors (page title, the content and the few edits) that caused the filter to falsely block the edit. Even if such a false positive as in this case is very unlikely, I have changed it a little. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 15:59, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Please, help

Heads-up about a potential sockpuppet

Heya! You recently blocked User:SamiHyyppia on sewiki. They have also edited the same articles from an IP address on smnwiki, where today a new user appeared requesting we translate cryptocurrency articles. I would assume that this new user is another sockpuppet of the original LTA account, although I can't say for sure. - Yupik (talk) 16:21, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for quickly reacting to this. I don't seem to be able to nuke their contributions on sewiki and their contributions on hawiki are still active and visible. - Yupik (talk) 16:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

NPA in fawikiquote

Hi, Just wanted to thank you for the block and make it clear that Google Translate is not translating the message properly (and I admit it's really hard to translate it). It's basically like calling someone an animal (=doesn't have "conscience"). Or it's a more severe version of calling someone an asozial. Hope that clears it a bit. Thank you again. And happy new year! Amir (talk) 13:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

API

Hello WikiBayer, you are using this API in your tool, so I want to ask if you see any issue with caching the results for one week. We currently cache results for 15 hours, but since sysop data doesn’t change much, caching for one week would be better. What do you think? – DreamRimmer ■ 15:09, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Changes to sysop data are not really relevant for my Tool. Only changes to the deletion requests are relevant for my tool (These are updated every 30 minutes). Whether 2 administrators or 3 are displayed is of secondary importance. It is only about a rough overview in the wiki. therefore 1 week would definitely be sufficient. Theoretically, one month would also be OK. (but here it depends on what else the data is used for). 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 15:18, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I will cache the data for one week for now. I also plan to add an endpoint to get the count of active sysops so we can see how many have been active in the past week. It would be great if your tool could display a new column for active sysops. Please let me know if you are interested, and I will provide the endpoint once it's deployed. – DreamRimmer ■ 15:28, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

BTW, where's the documentation for this API? – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 15:30, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

It was deployed one month ago and currently has only one endpoint, so there wasn't much to include in the documentation. Although I prepared the doc, I didn't publish it yet because I plan to expand the project and then add proper documentation. – DreamRimmer ■ 15:34, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

IMO 1-2 weeks is ok. – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 15:19, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Isaiah Ogedegbe

What happened at https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Isaiah_Ogedegbe&action=history to require revision deletion? Trade (talk) 14:53, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

@Trade Nazi comments and attacks. I just realized that this is such a spam page. I have now and deleted it completely. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 15:01, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

IP address/range blocked

Hello. me, and User:KiranBOT are currently unable to edit on lld.wikipedia, because of an IP block. This has happened a few times before on other Wikipedias as well. Would you kindly add me, and KiranBOT to IPBE on lld wikipedia? Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 10:15, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Pleasr make a Request on SRP 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 10:17, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

okay. but should I request for global IPBE, or local IPBE for lld specifically? I am not sure which block was I affected by? —usernamekiran (talk) 10:39, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: Local IPBE would be better if you and the bot wish to edit locally. – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 10:49, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

@WikiBayer @Hide on Rosé:I will do this later. My bot mostly edits from toolserver anyway. —usernamekiran (talk) 10:54, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Blogged on SWWP Vandals

Hello @WikiBayer. On 22nd June, 2025. I blogged about you and the things you've done so far for our Swahili Wikipedia. Glad to have you on board. _User:Muddyb ^(Talk) 08:32, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

"Idiotic thanks function use"

Main public logs - Meta

What kind of a cryptic message is this? I can't find anything obvious about this user. Leaderboard (talk) 11:14, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Some people on Discord clarified that the user was abusing the Thanks feature - apologies. But try not to not include words such as "Idiotic". Leaderboard (talk) 11:19, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

(Edit conflict.) WikiBayer, was using that block summary really necessary? While I know you're not directly calling them an idiot (as has been the issue before), it's still not a very nice tone to use. shb (t • c) 11:20, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

@WikiBayer: Relatedly, you have permablocked the user and sitewide from completely editing. Is this user some known vandal / LTA or did you intend to just block them from just sending thanks? – Svārtava (tɕ) 11:27, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

This, is a troll he has more Accounts. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 12:49, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

@SHB2000I have described the use (action).and that is an accurate description. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 12:48, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

You can use nicer block summaries like "misuse of thanks function" or "abuse of thanks function" without sounding extremely demeaning. I'm not saying you were wrong, but claiming someone's actions were idiotic directly at them is still very demeaning. Doesn't matter if they have a history of trolling or are an LTA, they still deserve some grounds of decency. //shb (t • c) 13:11, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

That, with the previous complaint together – they are not acceptable, at all. Don't do this again. Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 17:34, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

The “thanks” are arbitrary and only serve to harass. Therefore the “action” is so describable ad the description is definitely related to the action and not to the user.

See for example a small part:

𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 19:17, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

I meant the block summary. Codename Noreste (talk · contribs) 20:54, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

@Codename Noreste The block summery refers only to the actions of the troll and not to the person. See summary "thanks function use" 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 (WikiBayerCatHelper) 20:57, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Sigh....you really aren't getting the point, are you? I'm not disagreeing with you about why you blocked them, I'm saying your block summaries are significantly less than idea. //shb (t • c) 00:16, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
