button to edit only section 0

where to find it in the default template? ThiehTK = Terry Koeckritz 15:25, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Go to prefereneces → Gadgets → Editing gadgets → 'Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page' and that should do it for you. Peter tanquam ex ungue leonem 21:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
apparently I tried that and the Vector Skin doesn't have it (only MonoBook and Modern has such a button). Should that be a problem? ThiehInsomnia? Masturbate till you pass out 19:31, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I use vector and it works fine. ТyrannisAn iron, but caring, fist 20:19, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I resetted the settings and tried to do that again and it still doesn't work. Lemme know what other info do I need to provide. ThiehTK = Terry Koeckritz 17:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Carrying on conversations in block comments

I'll use the Nutty Roux persona's predilection for being an asshole as a cover for expressing my own genuine curiosity why the use of block comments to carry on chit chatty conversations nobody but the conversants give a fuck about is so rampant. It's gotten to the level of sometimes making it hard to look at recent changes for the sheer volume of mindless shit getting spammed by a few of you and it's nearly always something I wish could be hidden. It would be fine if it was limited to cheeky comments here and there but some of you all just go on and on and on with stuff you should just be IMing each other. It's the RW equivalent of talking loudly on your cellphone while on line at the market. I can only imagine what a stranger coming to visit might think. Trent, can you make it so that all blocks get marked as bot edits unless a box gets checked indicating they're "real"? Is that even possible? Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 03:48, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

If you want i can cut it down, I'm just to lazy usually to go to the talk pages. Plus with liquid thread it isn't like there's much of a difference--il'Dictator Mikal 03:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
You could just remove the block log from the page, like human wanted to - I worked out how to do that finally. Peter tanquam ex ungue leonem 03:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
How?!?!?! If I want to see the block log, I'll um, go look at the block log... ħumanUser talk:Human 02:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Looks like the last function here. Тycommunications wire 02:30, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Ty is correct. I finally got the js code working - the following code in your vector/monobook.js should scour the block log from your watchlist (and can be easily modified for RC):
It also has the side affect of removing all entries where the person has included the link in their edit comment, but I don't think that will be a major problem. Anyway, if it's a problem for everyone I'll stop talking to Mikal so much using blocks, though as has been mentioned LQT is just as bad (though you can filter that out with the namespace thing). Peter tanquam ex ungue leonem 02:53, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! What's the syntax to add comments to the monobook.js file? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:59, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Single line javascript comments are of the form "<code> // <comment>". Multiline comments are like "/* ... */". Peter tanquam ex ungue leonem 04:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you again. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:33, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
The problem with that is then you have to go out of your way to see the block log for real blocks.--il'Dictator Mikal 03:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
What real ones? These? Peter tanquam ex ungue leonem 03:57, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Nutty Roux, I have an idea for what you personally can do to reduce the lackadaisical overuse of blocking: cease contributing to it yourself. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 03:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
^I saw others doing it which is why I started doing it actually. ^^Whatever it is Nutty thinks is real i would assume. --il'Dictator Mikal 03:59, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
ListenerX, I have an idea for what you personally can do when you feel the urge to say something as ridiculous as this solely for the sake of being a contrarian, as usual: don't. I issue a few bullying and harassing blocks a week tops. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 04:02, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
(EC) Frivolous block wars are a long-standing RationalWiki tradition; a reaction to the banhammer being wielded so ruthlessly at Conservapedia.
I issue a few bullying and harassing blocks... Which, many would say, are more of a problem than frivolous block wars. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 04:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
They very well might. What's that got to do with recent changes clogged up with conversations? Block wars are so markedly different than chit chatting in block messages that I wonder if you're being serious. Anyhow, if people are going to get defensive and make me a target I'll just use my watchlist. Wutevs. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 04:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Because the harassing blocks do clog up Recent Changes at times, especially when those making them wheel-war over them. Furthermore, the messages attached to those blocks tend to have even less content in them than these frivolous IM-style exchanges (half of them are variations on "User X is a tw**"). Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 04:30, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Sigh. What are you doing? There's no honest way to compare the volume of blocks in what you call "wheel wars" with the chit chat. I'm acutely sensitive to being a buzz kill here.You al obviously don't need permission from some dick on the Internet to do whatever you want. Like I said, I'll just use my watch list when RC gets clogged. If anyone else cares to actually add something to this discussion rather than make a silly attempt to flip it, that's great. If not, I'll still just use my watchlist when RC gets clogged. CoopMe 04:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

LX, shut up, you are being a less than useless contrarian. Slutty, the WL doesn't help much, hence my above request. Ideally, people would just slow down and stop using "block this user" to carry on a "conversation". In this less than ideal world, it would be nice to be able to ignore them. Your idea of marking blocks as bot edits by default might be a very good solution. ħumanUser talk:Human 02:29, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

As long as if Maratrean returns, we (or, uh, I mean the "critters") can have another Maratrean "religion" menagerie block war. (and PS, I do understand Nutty's frustration). sterileevolutionist story telling 02:41, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
LX, shut up, you are being a less than useless contrarian. Pardon me for suggesting that someone should cease making harassing blocks (which breach the Community Standards) before whining about non-harassing joke blocks (which do not). Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 22:00, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Lol, the "standards" and "harassing blocks". This is about people using the block log to carry on conversations, which I would mostly prefer to ignore. ħumanUser talk:Human 02:25, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Add this to your monobook.js and you won't have to ignore anything. It changed my life. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 02:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Stray div in holydaze template

There's a stray </div> in the holydaze displayed on the watchlist. I tried tracing through the horrors of the holydaze templates and went "what the shit" and gave up. Anyone feeling sufficiently intrepid to fix the breakage? - David Gerard (talk) 19:25, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Maybe if you explain what intrepid means ;) --"Shut up, Brx." 19:28, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Bizarre side-effect of it stacking two on top of each other by the looks of it. I'll see if there's anything that can be done to remedy it. Scarlet A.pngtheist 19:34, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
No, it was an unclosed <font> tag in the St George's Day one. Fixed now. WëäŝëïöïďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 20:26, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
I found the old technical support page on it. Gorram unclosed tags. Scarlet A.pngtheist 20:28, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Holydaze is one of our crowning achievements. Thanks for fixing it! ħumanUser talk:Human 02:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Purging mediawiki files

Can't that be done automatically?--"Shut up, Brx." 03:33, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

So, can we do that? Maybe every few days a bot can hit purge on all commons images. Is that feasible? Would it take too much processing power or memory or whatever?--"Shut up, Brx." 03:07, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
The problem is that it's your cache, and not a server-side thing. A bot wouldn't work—at least not in the way you describe—though there may be other options. Like detaching ourselves from commons altogether, and having a bot-upload system for requested commons images similar to capturebot's sandbox. Peter is procrastinating. 03:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
But the other day, you did the purge for me [1]--"Shut up, Brx." 03:13, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
No, I had to push purge to clear my own cache. I can't do it 'for' you. Peter is procrastinating. 03:16, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Oh. I misunderstood. A shame. Perhaps you could bring up your idea with the big heads? Nx is gone, but I'm sure Blue and Tmt will have opinions.--"Shut up, Brx." 03:19, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
One day, maybe—it wouldn't be all that easy to do, at least if you wanted to be able to copy over the license information as part of the upload (which would be ideal). Peter is procrastinating. 03:45, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Errm, no. Purge purges the server-side cache. The problem with the blurry/missing images is somewhere in the caching of thumbnails.--ZooGuard (talk) 06:07, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Ok, I didn't know that. Then what do you think we should do? Peter is procrastinating. 06:18, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Someone with server access and the requisite knowledge should sit down and either find out as much as possible about the bug and report it to the developers of MediaWiki, or try to fix it. Another option is contacting some of the developers of the "use Commons images anywhere" feature or the caching feature and asking for help. Another option is to have a bot patrolling the Commons images, checking somehow if the image is visible and purging them. All of these require different, but non-minimal amounts of time, skill and effort.--ZooGuard (talk) 08:26, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
So Trent, in other words. When it comes to the bot thing, wouldn't it be better to do that on the server itself? Doing it with a bot seems... inefficient. Peter is procrastinating. 08:36, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
So it's possible to just go about purging everything? Great! When can we start?--"Shut up, Brx." 11:30, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
So has anyone in the know given this any thought?--"Shut up, Brx." 13:08, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Adding userspace from $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl

I'm putting this here as part of a larger discussion we need to have about how we wish to present RW's image to people coming in from searches rather than direct links from forums, etc. Bootmii recently resurrected and put in his userspace a number of articles from the Conservapedia space that were deleted by consensus following an extensive review. I deleted them (and was nearly immediately overruled) because it seems to me that permitting a user to have articles of this nature in his userspace completely undermines the policy behind building a consensus to delete them in the first place: getting rid of material that paints RW in a negative light or that in any event is from a period we've grown out of. I'm not "post-Conservapedia" and I'm not trying to have a mission discussion here. This is solely directed at deleted material of this particular nature being resurrected to userspace. I would like to see this material omitted from Google searches. It's not. It is possible that Mediwiki permits individual pages to be excluded using metatags, but my understanding is that not all robots obey noindex and it is nonetheless too much to be going through userspace and unilaterally deciding what does and doesn't get tagged. I suggest Trent add userspace to $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl so we don't have to worry about this. I'll suggest elsewhere that funspace be added as well. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 16:39, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I would certainly support that. Redchuck.gif ГенгисOur ignorance is God; what we know is science.Moderator 17:29, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
  1. You're an idiot. Brxbrx has the right answer, $wgExemptFromUserRobotsControl just makes the parser ignore the __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words if you put them on the page.
  2. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. You're concerned about RW's image, really? RW has bigger problems than a few crappy articles that someone is saving in their userspace.
  3. If you're so concerned about those pages, just desysop and block Bootmii. Problem solved. 109.61.82.156 (talk) 18:36, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Ok then I'm an idiot. Whatever it takes software or server side to accomplish what I asked about. I already addressed relying on people adding noindex on an ad hoc basis. I'm not blocking and desysopping anyone but Brxbrx. Thanks for your helpful input, Nx. Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 18:38, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

$wgNamespaceRobotPolicies should work fine for this. Tmtoulouse (talk) 06:12, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Can we figure this out? Bootmii has not stopped resurrecting the deleted articles. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 03:18, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Given his random usage of revision delete as well, I'm leaning on desysop & delete. ТyrannisAn iron, but caring, fist 03:30, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Its been done long ago. 50.130.133.249 (talk) 03:32, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Okay, good. I've just removed his resurrections from all categories, so his little project won't have any negative effects. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 03:50, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I want to renew this concern: these articles show up in relevant Googling. Can we exclude his namespace from external search?--ADtalkModerator 08:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Better: that all oldid/difflinks are barred from bots, as that's how they are getting around what Trent has already done (see here for why this has come up again). Peter Urist for Mod! 08:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
diffs and oldids have noindex by default. It seems google only respects it for pagerank calculations, but otherwise displays the page as a search result. Normally you wouldn't see it as it would be buried at the end of the results, but if you search for bootmii conservapedia for example, the search words are so specific that you will see it, as those are the only relevant results. -- Nx / talk 09:10, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Ah, so they're indexed, but not given any priority? Then I guess we should leave well-enough alone on this one.--ADtalkModerator 22:04, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

WikiBlame

Anyone willing to install WikiBlame, here or at RWW?--ZooGuard (talk) 11:57, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I can give it a shot @rww later. ТyrannisAn iron, but caring, fist 12:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Will this allow us to search log summaries as well?--"Shut up, Brx." 02:59, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
*bump*--ZooGuard (talk) 09:21, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I would really like an answer, positive, negative, or something else. Will it be too hard to adapt the PHP code for RW instead of Wikimedia projects?--ZooGuard (talk) 09:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Before this goes into the archive at the Saloon Bar, is there any one who can address this issue? sterileevolutionist story telling 05:11, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea what we use SimpleForms for, possibly the essay portal's "create an essay" input box... could delete it and see what breaks. Scarlet A.pngsshole 09:33, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

De-LQTing my talkpage

So here's an interesting situation: I love LQT, but since it's no longer being supported by this Wiki (as a result of Nx's getting the boot from the server), I think a good course of action would be to drop it. The problem is that I have no idea how to do so without losing a ton fo shit from my talkpage. Any ideas on how to de-LQT my talkpage would be welcome. The Noisy Orchestra Oi! Oi! Oi! 11:06, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

This and then this is the easiest way—removing the tag doesn't delete the pages, they're still there somwewhere. You can also simply move your talkpage off to a subpage and make a new one, although that splits the history. Peter with added ‼Science‼ 19:54, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Once upon a time I was working on a script to export LiquidThreads to wikicode... I may need to do that, I'm in a similar situation. If I do it for me, feel free to ask me to do it for you or anyone else. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 20:33, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
What do we gain from scrapping it? Is it actually causing or likely to cause problems with site maintenance? WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 20:36, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Well, if we end up mothballing it, then we'd basically lose a ton of talk if we didn't convert the format for archives. Picon small.pngAcer Blue 03:20, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
You should definitely finish your LQT-to-Wikitext script; without something like that we are essentially locked in to the LQT extension. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 03:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

What is this bullshit? LQT may have been abandoned, but it still works, and it's used by many wikimedia sites, including mediawiki.org, so it's still going to be maintained. I'd be more worried about all the extensions I wrote for RW. And at least LQT doesn't have a huge security hole like another extension that's been abandoned by its original developers, yet you love to use so much. Here, try it:

Click me


Lx, why don't you go tell all the forums out there that they're locked in and should switch to storing all their comments in a flat text blob too. Obviously, that's the best way to do it. 91.137.155.2 (talk) 06:12, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

This is all just FUD, I haven't seen anyone back up their claims of LQT being unmaintained or a risk, yet here's EmbedVideo, an extension that wasn't even compatible with MW 1.16 when we upgraded, and contains a massive security hole; and then there's DPL, a huge, unmaintainable mess that can lock up the database and kill the wiki. LQT is the least of your problems. 91.137.155.2 (talk) 06:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

If by some chance Goonie is wrong about your not being around to support LQT, maybe the idea needs reconsideration. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 07:01, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Did you just completely ignore what he said? Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 08:03, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I ignored what he said, seeing as how I do not endorse the presence of either of the other extensions. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 04:07, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
  1. You seem to have missed the point about LQT being installed on several wikimedia wikis, and therefore receiving some basic support (hell, they even reviewed and committed my patches, finally).
  2. I don't see anyone complaining, or, heavens forbid, doing something about DPL, for example. 91.137.155.2 (talk) 22:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Well, a while back, we were removing this "dpl" from the category navigation templates (although I think it was at yours and Armondikov's behest). Also, I don't suppose you've found a way to not have dpl but at the same time have customized bullet points (such as tiny crucifixes for the Christianity template). And what does dpl mean, anyways? I figure the dp is double penetration, but what's the l doing there?--"Shut up, Brx." 01:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Dynamic page link. - π 01:45, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
It's still there on those templates, just hidden. Peter with added ‼Science‼ 01:48, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Dynamic page list. It allows you to create a list of pages that is dynamic, because it automatically updates when pages that meet the selection criteria are added or removed. It's been abstracted away into {{Randomarticles}} so it can be replaced easily, but there's no replacement. Custom bullet points are not possible with inline css, because mediawiki strips away css url references (otherwise anyone could use them to display any image on the internet to you, which is a security risk), but they can be added to one of the css files. 91.137.155.2 (talk) 04:55, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Meh, having thought this over once I sobered up, I've decided to keep LQT on my talkpage after all. The fact that so many people here bitch about how much they hate it makes it all the more appealing to me. The Noisy Orchestra Oi! Oi! Oi! 12:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

edit break

What are the problems LQT is currently causing or may cause, exactly? I think we should lay these out for all to see.--"Shut up, Brx." 18:51, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Our version of LQT has "forked" from the main release, in general the issue is too many custom extensions or no longer supported extensions that prevent us from easily updating mediawiki. LQT isn't the main culprit. Tmtoulouse (talk) 18:55, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
So there aren't currently any problems?--"Shut up, Brx." 18:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Not really, other than the bellyachers and whiners who are resistant to any change of the wiki unless they proposed/endorsed/implemented it. - π 01:13, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
It's not a fork, it's a couple patches, and some of them have since been committed upstream. 91.137.155.2 (talk) 22:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Why is this such a big deal? --Revolverman (talk) 05:09, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
See Pi's post above--"Shut up, Brx." 05:21, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

cquote

When I view RW or RWW in Google Chrome (which I use), the cquote template does not adjust as it should to fit around anything to the right or left, which means the quotes run in front of or behind images or other templates appearing on the page, making them unreadable. I've only seen this in the last couple of days or so, so I'm not sure if it's Chrome that's changed or MediaWiki. In Internet Explorer it looks fine. Is anyone else getting this problem or can shed any light on it? €₳$£ΘĪÐWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 18:44, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

I use Chrome - can you point me to an example of one that's definitely broken for you, so I can check?--ADtalkModerator 01:31, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
On RWW: Ace McWicked. I hadn't seen it with cquote before, actually, but I had for RWW's awards. Peter with added ‼Science‼ 01:47, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
RWW:MarcusCicero is a particularly messy example, but it's on a lot of pages at RWW, because of the Stalkbox template. On RW, this version of the Otherkin article (before changes) has a very clear example of the quote running in front of an image. Conservapedia:Godspeed has the quote running into the CP template. WeaseloidWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 11:53, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Is there anything that can be done about this? Like replacing cquote with something less shitty? WėąṣėḷőįďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 09:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Tag filter

Is there a reason the tag filter is showing up in RC? I have no use for it that I know of. sterileevolutionist story telling 05:16, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Tagfilter.JPG
Hasn't it always been there? It is one of those features nobody uses and probably made sense a long time ago. - π 05:33, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
Certainly not always, but has anyone ever had a use for "HeidelbergKid ignoring everyone and posting new topics in the SB" and "Skype toolbar formatting"? Probably has to do with the abuse filters, but it would be nice if it weren't there but for those who can use it. sterileevolutionist story telling 06:04, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Liquid Threads

It's obviously the dumbest thing we ever got out in front of. Question is, once you go liquid, can you ever go back? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:50, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

To what extent? It's easy enough to remove it from a page, removing it from the wiki entirely would be more than a little bit harder. Peter Blessed are the cheesemakers 04:06, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
You can, but archiving them is awkward. I hate them too.--ADtalkModerator 06:45, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Why? It is used sporatically in a few isolated place around the wiki, mostly those that opted in on their talkpage. If you wish to de-lqt a page move the page to a subpage archive and start a fresh. Pi 3:14 (talk) 07:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

The only reason I even looked at this page was because it showed up on my watchlist. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 03:02, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Yup, it's just me. I wonder what is wrong? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:03, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Maybe you have too many pages on it? Try limiting the time window to an hour. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 03:08, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
I only have 20-30,000 or so on it. It's been doing fine all these years. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:10, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, your version loaded after a bit of a wait. But a one hour watchlist is useless. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Still broken. Is anyone watching? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:16, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Is it just your watchlist that's broken, or are things generally slow? Peter Urist for Mod! 06:18, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
It is mine that is borken. LX's works, I ran a few pocksuppets, they worked. I tried LX "one hour" thing above and it worked, but very slowly (and is useless of course). When I click "my watchlist", after a bit of a spin of the wheels, it settles down and pretends it is done, but returns no html. I suspect Trent is fucking with me. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:26, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

I can't work here without a functional watchlist. This is a basic MW functionality. I appreciate your comments, but you are not tech folks fixing the problem. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:35, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Work? I thought all you did here was revert people and tell them they're useless. -- Nx / talk 07:21, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Troll-B-gone

I wanted to recreate the account Maratrean... not to use it, simply to stop anyone to recreate it and use it to impersonate me. And I discover that editfilter blocks it (Troll-B-Gone). I don't really mind so long as that edit filter is permanent. Zack Martin HolyMaratreanSigil.png 04:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Create another account; I will rename it to Maratrean. That may do it.--ADtalkModerator 04:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks AD, here it is. Marasomething (talk) 05:04, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Yep that's me. Zack Martin HolyMaratreanSigil.png 05:04, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Done.--ADtalkModerator 05:11, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Time for another abuse filter

Check out the activity around User:Unidyne and User:Green1.--ZooGuard (talk) 16:34, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Since when does the abuse filter stop administrative actions?

For some reason the abuse filter is preventing me from vaporizing the off-topic neighborhood drama queen hangout. DMorris, on the EIP Network 1 855 282 2882 17:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Well no it shouldn't be but also no reason to vap the page. Tmtoulouse (talk) 17:59, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Fixed that. Still, don't delete the page. Тytalk 18:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
