User's page deleted.

Can someone delete my userpage so Help:Extension:GlobalUserPage use the one from meta?

done

Done.

Please block Special:Contributions/31.185.13.192 and ideally mass-delete all his spam. Thank you.

Done. I think Project:Current issues is the best place to post, but this worked. :-)

Thanks! I was frantically searching for a page to report spam, ask for blocks or mass deletions, but could not find any. Knowing about Project:Current issues helps.

As far as I can see a few of the spam posts disappeared already. But most of them are still there. Can we please get rid of these? Any maybe fix Flow to allow all users to effectively fight spam, not only administrators?

Looking at the contribution history, all of that user's edits have been hidden or removed. Though you may wish to apply for adminship yourself. As I see it, flow is weird.

The hidden posts are still shown as being hidden. Can we please actually delete them?

 Done Had to comb through the history and delete every one of those posts manually. Let me know if I've missed something.

This feels sooo much better. Thanks a lot!

All done.

Hi, can you remove Qgil-WMF's admin role, please? I haven't used it in years. Also, I searched but couldn't find a process to request removal of special permissions. I hope posting here is ok. Thank you!

Hi Qgil-WMF, per Project:Bureaucrats this should be requested at metawiki:SRP#Removal of access as local crats don't have the ability to remove admin rights.

@Johannnes89 thank you very much, and I have created the request there. I looked at Project:Administrators but didn't cross my mind to check Bureaucrats as well. This is a symptom that currently I really don't deserve the admin role.  ;)

Done

Please delete User:Bongo Cat, as I wish to use my global user page.

The antispam filter is blocking my regular feedback post on Talk:MediaWiki UI due to a link to your own bug tracker.

Try removing the underscores in one of the wiki links.

It wasn't due to underscores, a link to the bug tracker seems to be the problem.

Please delete my css-Page User:Labant/common.css. --~~~~

Done

Please, disable Structured Discussions on my talk page. I know that according to Help:Structured Discussions/Activation#Activate Structured Discussions on your personal talk page the existing threads will be archived to a sub page, and this doesn’t bother me.

Done - I moved the current talk page to User talk:Speravir/Archive 1 and recreated it as wikitext.

Spam blacklist hit, fixed

I was told that creating a full URL plaintext link to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Relations_Specialists triggers a spam filter. I tested & confirmed, and am now confused. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/9oLm7ma.png

It only seems to occur if the last 3 characters of "Specialists" are included. If I remove the "sts" it saves.

Nothing is appearing in Special:AbuseLog.

I'm not sure if I'm forgetting a related aspect, or if there's a flaw in a filter. Could someone with AF expertise weigh in? Pinging user:Leaderboard and User:DannyS712 as recent AF editors. Thank you!

Its not an abuse filter, its the spam blacklist

Ah, sorry, yes, I did also check MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist and couldn't see anything related there either.

Fixing now

Fixed - Special:Diff/4286837

Hi. Damianos133 (talk • contribs) is making unhelpful edits and I can find no standard way to warn them or preview my edits with Flow. Template:uw-vandalism1 made a mess the last time I used it here. Also, topic creation here doesn't seem to count as real editing.

Account has already been locked, but thanks for reporting

I fixed it, but I don't know who to notify the IP to.

Thanks, ~~~~

Hey there. The best place for this report would be https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard. It's now been dealt with. Thank you!
