[02:06:04] Is miraheze down? [02:06:52] Users are reporting 502 bad gateways, MySpace. I'm unsure if it's related to DeciduousWater534's very rapid mass editing or not [02:08:21] oh ok, thank you it's working again so yey [02:09:13] Okay, thanks for reporting, too. [02:13:49] I didn't see an issue on my end. [02:22:13] Since when does rapidly mass editing lead to bad gateways? It doesn't really make much sense to me. [02:59:03] True, the mass editing did cause the IRC recent change feeds to be hugely backlogged and delayed, though. [06:22:30] Yeah, I was getting a lot of error messages about the backend failing and bad getaways while mass editing. I guess Miraheze couldn't handle the Florida man style. [12:30:53] [[Special:CentralAuth/Wiki13]] Looks like an impersonation of a Wikimedia Steward. [12:30:54]

If you need to change the subdomain of one of your wiki, you can ask it on [[Phabricator]]. If you just want to change the site name, you can do it on Special:ManageWiki on your wiki.

[18:34:37] [ Stewards' noticeboard - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [19:16:31] I'm curious as to why that was removed [19:17:17] @Void Quite simple actually. An IP user made the report. Unless if that's not what you were referring to. [19:17:31] Yes, but why remove it? [19:19:42] Doug DM'd me his thoughts on a wiki in some apparent violation of copyright. [19:20:37] Yes, i not agreed with that removal, but here is not possible ask about these things as i will not get valid reply/reasoning.

[20:24:03] @Doug Wait a minute. You're telling me that Ihatelynnloudjr2 used such accounts like Blackdude44 and Picture335? [20:30:05] Yes, a variety of evidence confirms that the accounts are related [20:32:28] What about Hatelynnloudjrok? Did you forget to lock that account up to? [20:37:12] Even if it's a sub-creation, can it still be locked even if they aren't exactly logged? [20:41:32] That account has not yet been logged into so isn't a global account. I left a message on the local wiki blocking sysop's talk page to see how they want that account handled. If a request from the wiki to merge that account into one of the existing alternate accounts, which are global, that can be done; however, at present, nothing needs to be done until the user (a) remembers that account and logs into it, creating a global account, at which [20:41:33] point it can be locked or (b) a request from the wiki's community is made to Stewards [20:42:49] dmehus: we can force a global account [20:43:08] RhinosF1, oh really? What's the script for that? [20:43:18] Maybe that's easier than Special:UserMerge then heh [20:43:54] dmehus: I can't remember but I'll look at like 10pm ish [20:44:06] RhinosF1, ack and sounds good [20:51:47] How will this work? [21:04:18] I make central auth give them an account so dmehus can lock them [21:05:29] With that type of skill, you are definitely fit to becoming a Steward sometime in the future to be completely honest with you. [21:09:17] Eh, it's one script [21:09:32] My job as a MediaWiki engineer involves mostly running scripts [21:15:45] RhinosF1 prefers to volunteer in more of a technical capacity, so the MediaWiki Engineer role suits him well, and he expects to return to full activity on Miraheze within a couple weeks, I think [21:16:59] Alright then. [21:37:58] dmehus: hopefully [21:38:08] Next week is big [21:38:49] RhinosF1, what's big about next week? Exams?

[22:07:26] Now [22:07:53] Good. Do what you have to do so that account can get locked. [22:08:00] Yep [22:13:37] oh, you remembered, thanks, RhinosF1. Let me know what script it is as I am curious [22:17:37] dmehus: see -sre [22:17:53] RhinosF1, ack and thanks [22:18:04] DarkMatterMan4500, :DoneMH: [23:02:55] Thanks. I will continue to keep an eye out for any more sockpuppets, LTAs, vandals, and of course, the same users that are still causing similar problems. [23:04:42] [[Special:CentralAuth/PikaGirl2004]] Uh-oh @Doug, looks like I was right about GinaGiovanniello2001 not listening to you. It seems very clear she didn't listen to you on her talk page on Meta. [23:04:42]

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/PikaGirl2004 [23:04:43] [ Global account information for PikaGirl2004 - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [23:31:04] Oh, I did some digging on GinaGiovanniello2001, and I discovered that she was banned for disrupting a Wikimedia project: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/GinaGiovanniello2001 I can't even begin to believe that she brought it here and continued with the disruptive editing. [23:31:05] [ Global account information for GinaGiovanniello2001 - Meta ] - meta.wikimedia.org [23:40:48] Well, we generally don't concern ourselves with users' Wikimedia sanctions or other restrictions. What concerns us is their behaviour and activity on Miraheze. Nevertheless, I've reached out to @Void privately to a take a look at this instance. Rest assured that the most appropriate action will be taken [23:42:26] Thank you. I won't allow a user with a history of this sort of conduct from another wiki to continue the disruption here. Even I was shocked by it. [23:44:49] Well, again, we shouldn't assume the Wikimedia user is the same as the Miraheze user, unless they've publicly confirmed their accounts, but looking a few of the Wikimedia's user edits on one of the wikis, the edits I saw were not terrible. Much like the user on Miraheze, it seems more like a case of lack of communication and competence is required than intentional disruption, tbh [23:46:30] Alright. I was just sharing what I was concerned about regarding Gina. At this point, I really don't think Gina will even respond. This is starting to feel like de ja vu again.
