[01:57:02] Also, what are we going to do about this wiki? https://pullbackcars.miraheze.org/ Since the founder is locked, there's no reason for it to stay since the owner has abused like multiple accounts. [01:57:02] [ Pull back cars wiki ] - pullbackcars.miraheze.org [02:15:12] If there are other users, the wiki can probably be adopted. Otherwise the Dormancy Policy will eventually claim it. [02:16:01] The thing is, the founder has been locked for abusing multiple accounts. Could that be an issue? [02:17:24] As long as there's no issues with the content on the wiki, there's no reason to shut it down over a misbehaving founder [02:17:53] Okay then? [02:25:10] So I just checked, there are no other crats or sysops, so the wiki would fall under adoption policy [02:25:36] Assuming there is someone who wants to take over the wiki [02:26:08] Let's take this to the #miraheze-offtopic-relay channel instead. [11:56:24] [[Special:CentralAuth/Feckthissephspace]] Does this username violate the username policy, or is this in good-faith? [11:56:24]

[14:17:11] looking [14:17:29] Command sent from Discord by DarkMatterMan4500: [14:17:29] .mhca Trafficcone3 [14:17:30] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Trafficcone3 [14:18:06] This was a sub-account created by the same user for supposedly "testing". I think that global account should be forced in. [14:23:42] Hrm, good find, yeah. Probably not a bad idea, I guess. I'll ask RhinosF1 when he's around, unless Reception123 wants to run the migrateAccount.php script for that user on that wiki [14:27:14] Good idea. And if I see anymore accounts created by him or a sub-account that has yet to have their global accounts forced in, I'll keep you or any of the other available stewards posted. [14:27:32] ok [14:29:29] hmm, how was that even created like that? [14:30:17] That, I have no idea. The Trafficcone3 account stated for quote unquote "testing". [14:35:29] Reception123, it happens when a user creates a user account while logged in and emails a password to themselves. It's normal MediaWiki behaviour [14:36:01] Ah, I see [14:36:12] Now we have to wait for RhinosF1 to come by and see my find on user account "Trafficcones3". [14:36:44] Well, Reception123 can run the script if he wants. Doesn't seem very complicated; just needs several parameters specified [14:37:09] Oh, that's great. So we don't need to ask RhinosF1 then? [14:38:17] Not necessarily, no. It's not a massive priority, so it can wait if Reception123 is busy. But if he's free and wants to run it, he could technically run the script as a sysadmin and handle the lock as a Global Sysop, or just handle the script (whichever he preferred) [14:39:28] done [14:39:38] Reception123, ty [14:39:58] Now we can initially get that account locked. [14:45:29] But now the question remains, what will the future hold for the pullbackcarswiki? [14:47:17] Nothing. Any user can feel free to propose to adopt pullbackcarswiki when it is eligible for adoption at requests for adoption, or they can contribute to the wiki and hold a local election on the wiki. [14:48:08] Okay. I stated that I wouldn't take over that wiki as a sysop, but now I changed my mind.

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Lonniedos [17:47:27] [ Global account information for Lonniedos - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [18:13:43] [[Special:CentralAuth/Horrid Henry]] This guy is a clear sockpuppet of 2 other users I've reported already. [18:13:43]

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Horrid_Henry [18:13:44] [ Global account information for Horrid Henry - Miraheze Meta ] - meta.miraheze.org [18:15:43] I've asked in -offtopic where you initially posted but repeating - what tells you this? [18:16:13] Quite simple actually. The user page may or may not be a dead giveaway right away, but it's most likely due to their attempted vandalism on the besttvshowswiki. I blocked the user right away, and after I did that, it seems as though they have stopped right on that said wiki. I mean, they used "green p" just like they did on multiple sockpuppets that we dealt with. [18:16:59] that's definitely not enough for me to act as GS, so if a steward wants to take a look they can [18:17:14] Void's already investigating it as we speak. [18:17:55] well if you know that, no need to re-report here [18:18:13] You're probably right. [18:18:37] Also, you don't know what Void is investigating, either. It may or may not be that case. [18:19:35] I mean, yes, it is pulling in the "green p" specified in Horrid Henry's "real name" field, is a bit of an indicator, but to me, it's a quite generic so would be quite weak for a lock, considering the user has never attempted to edit, either [18:19:53] Global Account Log on metawiki: Void changed status for global account "User:Horrid Henry@global": set locked; unset (none): abuse of multiple accounts. Appeal to stewards[at]miraheze.org [18:20:43] TBH, I probably wouldn't have looked into it if I wasn't already looking into something there, but it does look like they managed to sneak in an account just before I global blocked the proxy they were using [18:21:01] I deleted my comment because it felt like I was parroting the cvt-feed. [18:23:14] That makes perfect sense, especially since we've been dealing with someone who's been using a variety of sockpuppets to disrupt one of our wikis. [18:30:07] @Void If SpongeBobFan99 was behind those sockpuppet accounts, wouldn't the editors on the Terrible TV Shows Wiki amongst the Reception Wikis get confused? [18:30:39] That lock is for an unrelated issue [18:31:20] Oh. Were there any confirmed accounts that tied him directly to him? Or do you prefer not to say it? [18:34:43] I'm literally confused here, so some clarity could be most helpful. [18:43:46] Likely related to the "DeciduousWater535" impostor account, very likely related to several other locked accounts (sorry, don't have a list at the moment) [18:46:03] I was just thinking of the exact same thing. I was thinking "DeciduousWater535" was related to him in a way. [19:22:53] But how are we going to let the admins of the spongebobwiki know about what happened to SpongeBobFan99 without gravedancing?
