igWP article creation

Just to note that I see the article "Ranjeet Yadav (journalist)" at w:ig: which seems to indicate the issue at haWP is elsewhere. I haven't had a change to more fully explore that space, and may not for some days, so flagging it for other eyes. :-)  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:05, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

@Billinghurst and WikiBayer: I have identified multiple domains which are frequently used related to this xwiki spam: [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]

Johannnes89 (talk) 14:02, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

oops, accidentally send before posting all the links. Question is: should we put these link on the spam blacklist or just monitor them (it seems to me, that the intention is not linkspam but spamming those people/companies, so they might just shift to using new links for those page creations?) --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

... some more links [24][25][26] Johannnes89 (talk) 14:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm considering setting up a global abuse filter to monitor page creations using these links? --Johannnes89 (talk) 14:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Comment @Johannnes89: THOUGHTS. I have a really light (proto-)filter at haWP that was doing some identification based on use of certain English-language words, so we could have an OR component that looks for the words and a section that looks for the problematic domains. I will also note that it haWP, igWP, etc. should be more used as identifying wikis, as the spam is also taking place in esWP and other wikis just more hidden among many more good edits. Re blacklisting, do it if they meet the blacklist criteria, otherwise we can prevent through the filter, if they are okay domains to use, though are abused through this user cases.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:12, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

fyi I'm using Special:AbuseFilter/338 to monitor IP/newbie page creations using any of the links I've identified and have added the content of your haWP filter to this global filter. Johannnes89 (talk) 19:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Abuse filter #300

Hi! I'm a sysop on itwiki. Can you take a look at the global abuse filter #300? I noticed it has been triggering on itwiki, but the edits look mostly fine to me. As an example, the attempted edits on "Magi (Bibbia)" are pretty harmless. I also checked the last two months and only a few of them seem to warrant a trigger. I'm contacting you because the only thing I can see is that you edited the filter last, but feel free to ping other people. Thanks! --Titore (talk) 10:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

@Titore It's true, there were false positives. But I wasn't aware of them because they got lost among the thousands of entries in the log. I have edited the filter a little.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 16:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Restore page request

Hi! Can you undelete b:ru:TimedText_talk:Коктейли/Шприцер_из_виноградного_сока_и_газировки please? It is a page moved by the vandal and it should be moved back. Thanks! --魔琴 (talk) 13:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Edited comment

Hi, just FYI it seems like you edited two of my comments here to be combined. But it now shows that you sent my comment rather than me. If you could change that to avoid confusion, that'd be appreciated. Kisare (talk) 18:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kisare i have only restore your first version.Which you rewrote because of a false positive of an abuse filter.This is noted in the summary line. I have done this so that the answer is not influenced by the abuse filter. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 18:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

but you accidentally changed the signature [27] --Johannnes89 (talk) 19:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

UPS i have fix it now. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

i have make now a small change in the filter. @Kisare the filter should no longer stop you in the future. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Über diesen Vandalismus. Du bist ein großartiger Mann. Ich möchte nicht, dass er dich liest und belästigt. Deshalb schreibe ich auf Deutsch. Ich spreche weder Bairisch noch Deutsch, tut mir leid, wenn das falsch ist. Habe einen wunderschönen Tag! Dream Indigo 19:32, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

pfl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albania

Hi, I received an email asking me to change the name of two articles created by him.

he says that the articles are in the correct language but that you deleted them previously - please See https://pfl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanie

As I don't understand if the language in which the article is written I preferred to communicate it to you.

I will appreciate if you checking they are correct.

Follow up on answer at stewards' noticeboard

Hi @WikiBayer, thanks for answering my request at the noticeboard. However, I am not sure how to proceed from here. I cannot request a local interface administator on eswiki to make an edit on MediaWiki:Gadget-MoreMenu.messages.es.js since they (or we, as I'm a local interface administrator on eswiki too) do not have permission to edit MediaWiki-namespaced pages on Meta. I haven't found any IA-specific noticeboard for meta on the IA page or among the sitelinks of the corresponding Wikidata item. How do you usually proceed when you need an action made from an interface admin on Meta? thank you in advance. Nacaru · Talk ✉ 15:30, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

I just noticed that you made the edit. Thank you! Nacaru · Talk ✉ 15:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

tt:Хәмидреза Горбани

Dear WikiBayer, this is to let you know that I have reverted you deletion of this page on the local wiki per Meta-Wiki decisions on what's SPAM can't override local wiki-community decisions about what content's appropriate. Showing cross-wiki SPAM or steward/global sysop action as reasons is irrelevant in these cases. In the future please avoid deleting local content in any wiki without discussions with local community. Thank you for understanding. Regards, ttWP admin en:Farhad Fatkullin - Frhdkazan (talk) 15:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

@Frhdkazan"Meta-Wiki decisions on what's SPAM can't override local wiki-community decision" ??? Heavyrain111 was the only editor. If the local community has not yet do anything, no decision can be overide. Deleting crosswiki spam is standard procedure when the local community has doing nothing to these pages, as in this case. It is also not possible to put every clear spam up for discussion. There are over 800 projects for GS/Stewards and most of them would not get a response anyway. This was clearly spam (which, by the way, was not only deleted by me. Local admins of larger projects had already deleted the spam). 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 17:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

the same here Diff. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 17:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your opinion. Views of admins from other wikis and even cross-wiki majority opinion about what's SPAM have no force over local community's view of content importance, thus irrelevant. As Wikimedia Language Diversity folks, we don't like cultural imperialism or arrogance of folks from larger wikis. Thank you for your understanding and respecting the needs of all 800+ local wiki-communities. Frhdkazan (talk) 19:01, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
