[11:25:30] Another vandalism-only for lock https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/AlreadyTaken [11:25:31] [ Global account information for AlreadyTaken - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [11:25:38] Many reports this week :p [13:08:40] @Reception123 ^ [13:10:50] Looking (and probably *locking :p) [13:16:46] Reception123: 14:16:09 [[User talk:MrJaroslavik]] on metawiki was edited by Maddox121 with the following comment: /* Vandal Alert */ new section Link: https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?diff=116321&oldid=115374&rcid=492036 [13:16:46] [ Difference between revisions of "User talk:MrJaroslavik" - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [13:17:38] Why he alert me? :p [13:18:24] @Reception123 ^ can you check/lock? [13:19:22] Oh, it is message by Rhinos, i missed it, sorry for double ping :( [13:19:56] he probably think you are GS [13:19:58] anyway, locked [13:20:07] Thanks [17:53:49] 10:16, 26 July 2020 User account ASSSHITDICK6848 talk contribs was created automatically <--- Suggest a soft global locking pending their global rename request? [17:54:54] Why here is not blacklist for that usernames? [17:55:14] I'm not sure, but assshitdick should definitely be included on that. 😛 [17:55:39] A username blacklist is arguably even more important than a spam blacklist, in some ways. [17:55:57] Everything with included words. . [17:56:01] yeah [17:56:28] No need for vulgar words for the human anatomy to be in usernames. [17:57:15] ^ @Void (in case you didn't see) [17:57:35] There is a username blacklist [17:57:42] However it isn't that hard to get around it [17:57:49] It needs to be tweaked a little [17:58:12] Yeah, maybe include all CaSeSofUsErNAMeS ? [17:58:36] For reference - https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Title_blacklist [17:58:37] [ Title blacklist - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [17:59:11] I've locked the account [17:59:38] @Doug abuse filters and regex aren't my strong point, I can do easy stuff but that's mostly it [18:00:20] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Title_blacklist - on WMF [18:00:21] [ Title blacklist - Meta ] - meta.wikimedia.org [18:00:45] > @Doug abuse filters and regex aren't my strong point, I can do easy stuff but that's mostly it @Reception123 Thanks. That's okay, me either; I can modify existing abuse filters, but don't create new ones. I ask Void for abuse filter assistance. He seems to be a pro at it. 😉 [18:01:07] Wow that's a long one [18:01:13] We can probably borrow a few things from there [18:01:23] I'll try to deal with username blacklist a bit. [18:01:52] Also https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Title_blacklist&diff=20085834&oldid=20061384 😛 [18:01:53] [ Difference between revisions of "Title blacklist" - Meta ] - meta.wikimedia.org [18:01:55] Well we should make sure to only copy things that also concern us not everything [18:01:56] Yeah, probably doesn't need to be as exhaustive as WMF's, but a little more than what we have. I wonder how often someone creates an account with "spam" in the name 😛 [18:02:14] Lol did you get impersonators? [18:02:22] Yeh [18:02:32] One sec, i have one screenshot for example [18:03:22] # accounts # users #Stewards, SWMT and prominent admins # stewards # admins # checkusers <--- Might be good for preventing impersonations. [18:03:57] Yeah [18:04:00] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/706097314774777878/706098852394041385/IMG_20200502_122652.jpg [18:04:07] We could get those and the ones concerning offensive words [18:04:09] LUL [18:04:46] Some people are really weird [18:04:57] Yes [18:05:24] But at least not on Miraheze. Only in few cases. [18:05:40] > We could get those and the ones concerning offensive words @Reception123 Yeah, that should cover the worse of the ones. [18:05:44] I will do it in my userspace and will post it here. [18:05:48] Yeah Miraheze doesn't have that many troublemakers [18:05:49] okay [18:06:10] @MrJaroslavik since usernames are global we should probably get a steward to sign off on changes to the blacklist [18:06:24] Yes [18:06:59] yes, that's a good plan, @Reception123. If they like it, they can either copy + paste from MrJ's userspace or history merge it into [[Title blacklist]] [18:08:36] Yes [18:08:51] While I guess technically GS could approve I'd rather Void or John give it a look [18:09:29] yeah [18:09:59] also it's probably better because technically this is truly global, so would apply to GS-opted out wikis 😉 [18:10:18] That's true yes, and I don't like overstepping either [18:10:30] GS already has a lot of rights after the expansion [18:10:30] yep [18:11:12] Especially for things that aren't considered that urgent [18:11:51] yeah, this isn't that critical; it will just mean we'll have globally locked users with vulgar names going forward [18:12:20] Well no, the blacklist prevents them from being created in the first place [18:12:26] So they won't even exist to be locked [18:12:35] Just less work for us :D [18:12:40] yeah, that's what I'm saying...if they get created, they need to be globally locked [18:12:43] I've had to lock some really unpleasant names sometimes [18:12:43] yeah, exactly [18:12:48] sorry I said that badly [18:12:52] Referring to really disturbing things [18:12:57] oh [18:13:29] It's been rare but still [18:13:30] We've seen some levels of just no [18:13:49] And there's been some racist or homophobic names too [18:13:51] The really disturbing ones, do GS have the user hide privilege, or is that steward only? [18:14:02] Only steward [18:14:05] ah [18:14:12] If they are really awful or refer to a user then they would indeed hide them [18:14:19] yeah [18:14:28] Some are left unhidden, to give an example one referred to Hilter [18:14:35] It's not even usernames that have crossed the line [18:14:58] @RhinosF1 Have you had to hide deleted wiki names from the Farmer log? [18:15:09] (hopefully they never got created in the first place) [18:15:10] Yes [18:15:13] We've done that too [18:15:14] wow [18:15:27] Mostly personal attacks from LTAs [18:15:32] ah [18:15:36] It's the content of some that I wish I'd never read [18:15:45] yeah [18:15:49] i will look for reference into lock log :p [18:16:08] Without being able to give more details, some wikis had to be closed for some bad stuff [18:16:15] Deleted* [18:16:26] It's rare but sometimes we see some stuff like that [18:17:14] And of course as GS on wikis you do see quite a bit of racism and homophobic content left by LTAs and VOAs [18:18:35] VOA? [18:18:44] vandalism only account, nevermind [18:18:48] figured that one out [18:27:43] Yes :) [18:27:49] I didn't know what it was either at first [18:28:01] Some of these acronyms are very specific [18:31:41] Can you lock? Blacklist is not ideally state https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Annoying [18:31:42] [ Global account information for Annoying - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [18:46:51] I'm not sure annoying would really be breaking the policy [18:47:08] I don't really see it as offensive [18:47:12] It was my test, you can lock. [20:01:56] Must be Category https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Sockpuppets_of_Lawrence-Prairies under Users Category? [20:01:57] [ Category:Sockpuppets of Lawrence-Prairies - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [20:16:45] No, you could move that, @MrJaroslavik. I would put it both [[Category:Maintenance]] and [[Category:User investigations]] --> [[Category:Sockpuppets]] maybe? [20:17:17] In Maintenance it is already [20:17:22] okay [20:17:44] [[Category:Users]] --> [[Category:User investigations]] --> [[Category:Sockpuppets]] as the second category tree
