Thank you[change source]

Dear Mentifisto, I greatly thank you for your assistance in fighting vandalism. I hope to work with you soon. Do consult me or other of my admin friends if you have any queries to make. We'll be more than glad to serve you. Thank you once again!-- Tdxiang 15:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, no problem. I was just astonished that they were able to edit so many articles without anyone reverting them. :-) -- Mentifisto 15:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We've only got about 35-40 regular editors :) fr33kman t - c 03:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Special:Statistics says there are over 1000. O_o -- Mentifisto 03:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That includes all of the newly registered users who have edited here just a couple of times and then haven't edited again within the past 30 days. We only have about 30-40 regular editors, meaning that they edit every day or nearly every day. I am one of those regular editors. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask me for any assistance you might need here. Cheers, Razorflame 03:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Uw-vand2‎[change source]

Hi, we already have this template. I suggest that you review WP:VANDAL. It has all (well most) of the templates we currently use. You can use Twinkle, but it has many templates that are not currently around, but I'd suggest using "vandal warner" in the my preferences tab instead. It has all you'd really need on a day-to-day basis. Cheers :) fr33kman t - c 03:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean, already have it? I just created a redirect of course since it seems it was the only level out of the four that lacked it. -- Mentifisto 03:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It basically exists as {{uw-test2}} :) fr33kman t - c 03:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tests and vandalism are the same here? -- Mentifisto 03:08, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Essentially. We don't have the same set of templates as enWP because we've only got 35-40 regular editors (not the thousands they have over at enWP), so for simplicities sake, we use only a small subset of the templates. The only ones you really need are; {{uw-test1}}, {{uw-test2}}, {{uw-test2a}}, {{uw-test3}}, {{uw-test4}}, {{uw-test4im}}, {{uw-delete1}}, {{uw-delete2}} and {{uw-testarticle}}. After those are exausted we tend to go straight to WP:VIP. I'd recommend enabling the "vandal warner" gadget under "My preferences" and then when you click on "edit" for a vandal, the left hand tool-box will have all the warnings you need. fr33kman t - c 03:16, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We also have {{test1}}, {{test2}}, {{test3}}, and {{test4}} if you don't want to have to type in the big uw- before every warning you give, as well as a gadget called vandal warner, which will automatically warn users for you :). Hope this helps, Razorflame 03:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

re:welcome[change source]

Thank you for welcoming me over here. I see we are both seasoned veterans of the other english wikipedia, and I am happy to be over here (the process of simplifying articles is harder than I thought it would be and I am learning alot).Coffeepusher (talk) 17:03, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Razorflame has given you some cookies! Now enjoy them!
Thanks! :-) -- Mentifisto 01:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm the person who gives out cookies :). Razorflame 01:13, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
:-) By the way since you're here... what do you think of a DYK I tried to make? -- Mentifisto 01:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Done...the page needs to be expanded before the DYK hook can be passed through the system. Cheers, Razorflame 02:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your message to me about removing things from pages[change source]

Welcome to Wikipedia! Everyone is welcome to change pages here. We ask that you do not remove things from pages without giving a good reason in the change summary. If this was a mistake, do not worry. The change you made has been undone. If you want to practice changing Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Mentifisto 02:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was a mistake. Thank you for fixing it. I am using the computer programs Firefox, Vimperator, and Vim to change Wikipedia. I do not know why the mistake happened. I will experiment more and try to figure out what happened. Unforgettableid (talk) 03:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bambifan101 problems[change source]

Hi. This guy has been a real pain for nearly four years, creating articles despite having been banned from En-Wiki and various other Wikipedia projects. He has his very own abuse page: [1]. I'm not a de facto deletionist of a good article, but everything I tagged was created in defiance of his ban. Of course, I'll defer to your opinion on the matter and your expertise of the rules on this site as opposed to English. ALl I know is that I've blocked and deleted this guy more than any other vandal in all the years I've been editing and administering. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:17, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Billy the Kid[change source]

Hey. I see that you just deleted the Billy the Kid article. Can you recall what the article said? He is an important historical figure, and I will probably re-create the article appropriately, but I was just curious as to what it said. Thanks!--Gordonrox24 | Talk 00:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That he was a cool kid from New Orleans, New Zealand who won at poker, ie nothing like the real guy :)Jamesofur (talk) 00:29, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flood.[change source]

Hey Mentifisto. You have the flood flag on, but are using AWB and the flag doesn't work with that. So unless you are going to be doing something else, the flag is pretty much useless. Hope all is well, --Gordonrox24 | Talk 21:57, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I thought it did... used to use it for that purpose all the time in the past. Is it specifically AWB it doesn't work with? Thanks for informing me. -- Mentifisto 22:09, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah it's just AWB that it doesn't work with. If you are going to be flooding with AWB only the bot flag will hide anything.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 22:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually you just need to make sure that you have the flag before login. See bug 2635 MorganKevinJ(talk) 14:40, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Carolus Linnaeus[change source]

Hi Mentifesto, could you please make sure you revert to the correct version when using rollback? You reverted to a version which was also incorrect. A bot got in the middle of the vandalism and you should have undid back further. Regards Normandy (talk) 13:00, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I missed that. My apologies. -- Mentifisto 13:03, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Block[change source]

Hello. May I ask why you blocked Special:Contribs/164.166.223.23? Thanks, Vermont (talk) 15:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly fifty vandal edits this year alone, schools rarely edit constructively. -- Mentifisto 16:57, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. They rarely edit constructively. Regardless, I'm in opposition of blocking that IP for 6 months. Their last block is in February, and their vandalism is spread out over a long period of time. To quote Djsasso (which I strongly agree with in this case), "Anything publicly accessible will often appear to be a vandalism-only range, but those are also the kinds of locations we really want to encourage people to edit from. It is a catch 22. Something like a school sometimes I will slowly build up to a school year block and hope that after the summer the kid forgets about us. But generally that is only if we are constantly getting hit from that IP, like every time their block expires." I believe Djsasso's sentiment is reflective of current community consensus, and thus I request your support in unblocking the IP. Thanks, Vermont (talk) 19:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
School year recently started, though? I think it's a waste of time dealing with them, account creation could also be enabled if you want to encourage edits, but you can change it to whatever you think is appropriate. -- Mentifisto 18:22, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting vandalism[change source]

Hello! I noticed you reverted an instance of vandalism about 20 minutes ago without leaving a warning. If possible, please try to leave warnings or notices on the user's talk page after reverting. Thanks, Vermont (talk) 18:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please try to leave warnings or notices on userpages after reverting vandalism, as is consistent with community consensus. You are continuing to only revert. Vermont (talk) 18:57, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if it's hours or days old it's usually useless, IP might even have changed hands if it's dynamic. -- Mentifisto 19:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of 11 reverts today, you have left messages for none of them. Please do so in the future. Thanks, Vermont (talk) 19:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm trying to get TW to do that automatically, but still, if it was done hours ago and they haven't edited since and they'll probably never edit in the near future it's not entirely helpful, I assumed. -- Mentifisto 19:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please see current policy. To clarify, are you arguing we should not warn users, or that you don't have to because it isn't automatic? Vermont (talk) 19:39, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, you misrepresent what I said... I'm merely questioning the viability of the message even getting to the same person if it's hours later and the edit not just made a minute prior, IPs can be very dynamic. And no, I'm merely trying to make it easier since that is what automated tools do, now there is an option in the interface but it's greyed out, I tried to check its preferences but still can't find specifically what enables the option... would you know what that is, by any chance? -- Mentifisto 19:47, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies. I'd be glad to help; if you have Twinkle enabled, there should be a TW link on talk pages, which has a Warn menu under it. Unfortunately, Twinkle is presently unable to automatically warn people after a revert. (although it would be nice if it did) The TW link is probably the fastest means to warn people save for Huggle's automatic warnings. Vermont (talk) 19:58, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up[change source]

Be careful reverting as you put vandalism back into a page with your revert. They were fixing some vandalism and reverting their own mistake that reverted the Archive bot. -DJSasso (talk) 12:19, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that; was about to fix the type when it was done... in the end, I thought blanking should be reverted first. -- Lofty abyss 14:55, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Filters[change source]

I wouldn't want to be building a filter for one word, especially with it being an acceptable word on wikis ... article on enWP, and in lists built at meta, eg. [2] [3] [4]. So it means combination searches, and that one term makes it difficult on its own, so it needs to be hooked with other things, either the range of the contribution, other keywords, etc. If they are using English words in non-English wikipedias that gives us an element of control, especially as we don't have to fuss enWP for global filters. Billinghurst (talk) 11:03, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Combinations and the latter suggestion sound reasonable. -- Lofty abyss 14:34, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users[change source]

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)

Revoke TPA[change source]

If an IP address is abusing their talk page, you can modify the block and revoke TPA. Protecting the talk page is typically not correct. On this project, protection should only be used if the vandalism is so rapid, sysops can't keep up. Please review WP:P#Semi-protection Operator873 connect 02:23, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
