Userbox Design

@Abelmoschus Esculentus:Hello , in the page Wikipedia:Userboxes it said that you made userboxes upon request . So , could you make an userbox where it said I "cordially disliked" Borussia Dortmund ? If it is O.K. with you , then thanks for your help . Grunthog (talk) 11:08, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

 Doing... ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 11:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
@Abelmoschus Esculentus: Thanks . Grunthog (talk) 12:13, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
I can't guarantee whether or not it's totally appropriate to use the logo since it's not a free use image. Do you have any other suggestions for the image? ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 12:23, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
@Abelmoschus Esculentus:The logo/image in black lettering upon yellow background , " BVB " , text , yellow lettering upon black background , "This user cordially dislikes Borussia Dortmund ." Grunthog (talk) 12:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
I have said that the logo you mentioned is non-free use image. Can you choose another one? ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 12:53, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

@Abelmoschus Esculentus:Can't it say , "This User hates B.V.B ?"Grunthog (talk) 12:58, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

I am referring to the image. You want an image or not? Please state it clearly. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:25, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Adoption

Hello, I have spent most of my time on Wikipedia fighting vandalism. I would love to learn some more about better (and faster) ways to fight it from a more experienced editor A 10 fireplane (talk) 18:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

@A 10 fireplane: I’ve been quite busy recently and I’ve already adopted 4 users. You may wish to enroll in WP:CVUA. Sorry. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 10:29, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
No problem, thanks anyways but I have found an adopter A 10 fireplane (talk) 14:48, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
@A 10 fireplane: Happy editing! ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 14:55, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
You too hope to see you later on down the road A 10 fireplane (talk) 15:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Request for making Userbox

Hey man, a sincere request to you from my side. Please make 3 userboxes for Pearl jam. It should be like-"This user is Super fan of Pearl jam", "This user listens to Pearl jam", "This user loves Pearl jam". It would be really great if you add something really innovative like photo or something in it.Note that its not an order brother but just a request as i am finding problems doing it myself. When you make it please tell me how i can get access to it since i am helping in categorising some bands fans on wikipedia.To reply to me simply leave a message below, i will see it as soon as i get free. Regards 2405:204:A281:BCA1:0:0:757:40A1 (talk) 08:25, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi anon. As you are not logged in (registered an account), you cannot have your own user page. Userboxes are designed to be put on user pages. Would you consider registering an account and leave a message here if you have done so? Best ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 14:57, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Oh sorry, i missed that. Actually i want you to add those userboxes(as i told you in the message above) on the Wikipedia:Userboxes/Music/Bands,L-Z page. You should type half of it on your web browser to find thi page out. You can see in there a P section in which there is already 1 userbox for pearl jam. You can add the new userbox code just below that and i would get it from there on. REGARDS117.234.68.240 (talk) 07:24, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Testwiki question

Could you explain why you blocked Knightrises10 on testwiki? Thanks, Vermont (talk) 21:35, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Because I was testing a script and forgot to unblock. I’ll unblock him for now. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (alt) (talk to me) 23:14, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, the Mediation Committee is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
  • A request for comment is in progress to determine whether members of the Bot Approvals Group should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
  • A request for comment is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
  • A proposal has been made to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to interface administrators in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on a website that suffered a data breach. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
  • Wikipedia policy requires administrators to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.

Tech News: 2018-49

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [1]
  • Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [2]
  • You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [3]
  • When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [4][5]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

For the September drive (results), of the twenty-three people who signed up, nineteen editors completed 294 copy edits.

Our October blitz (results) focused on Requests, geography, and food and drink articles. Of the fourteen people who signed up, eleven recorded a total of 57 copy edits.

For the November drive (results), twenty-two people signed up, and eighteen editors recorded 273 copy edits. This helped to bring the backlog to a six-month low of 825 articles.

We welcome self-nominations, so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Tdslk.

Peristant vandalism By The Redundancy and IP

The both guys you neglected on Maroon 5s page doing chaos are getting relentless and have created a havoc. In just some hours of editorial history, you can see tons of revertion of the same edit when different veterans like me havr added. The only way to stop them is blocking them. Do it fast appeal or ask your admin friend to do so. Just do it fast please. IP address-115.133.122.243 and The Redundancy. HardSunBadMoon (talk) 12:47, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

I'd rather have it protected. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 12:58, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

I mean it would be alright. But how many pages would you rather have protected? We both can control them here but what about those pages where no one is there to control these guys? Its better to block them try to understand. For maybe 1 week or whatever you want.HardSunBadMoon (talk) 13:19, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

I have requested Maroon 5 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to be protected (here) and filed a report to WP:AN3 here. If you think what I have done is not enough to stop the disruption, please let me know. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:21, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
@HardSunBadMoon: Your account is registered yesterday. Why would you call yourself a "veteran"? ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:28, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
@Abelmoschus Esculentus: Actually i joined wikipedia in 2007. After using my account for 3 years then i got inactive for 1 year and when i came back i have lost my password and i wasn't able to recover it. This way i lost hope but finally this year my brother said me to come back to the buisness as he said that he has saw many faults, errors and that was all done deliberately by many admins whom he named. He said me acquire my lost importance first and then deal with them. I have also lost much of the knowledge i had about syntaxes and so im feeling like a bit amateur this time. RegardsHardSunBadMoon (talk) 13:35, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Ok. Things have changed a lot here. You may wish to comment in the 3RR noticeboard thread. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus talk / contribs 13:40, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Modification in the page drona:

Removed section of the page is not a fact but based on assumption of author. It can create perspective view to the readers about caste system, which is matter of debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sinaharpi (talk • contribs) 14:14, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Kind request

Healthy

Bishzilla only has five userboxen on her page. Could you make another for her, please, one that emphasizes her good intentions? Something like "This user always try to be helpful. If she frighten little users, or accidentally eat them, please let her know." Maybe with a fine mellow picture of a Zilla. If you can spare the time, it would be appreciated. Note, please don't correct the grammar. Bishzilla's grammar is proper for Dinospeak. Bishonen | talk 02:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC).

Hi, can you make sure that I put the technical specification list from Playstation Portable into prose correctly?? this was the Technical Specification list form and i tried my best to convert it to prose form as can be seen here. . If I messed up prosing it or if anything wasn't prosed correctly from the list, maybe you can fix it or point out specifically what needs to be fixed?? Thanks. BTW, congrats on possibly getting rollback again. JC7V (talk) 17:18, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

December 2018

You reverted this edit to Portal:Current events/2018 December 6— "because it did not appear constructive".

My commit corrects an error: the Union involved, as correctly reported by the news article, is "Vigi" and not "Alliance" as reported in the Wikipedia page, thus the link is also wrong. Please let me know if my commit process is flawed, but this entry needs to be corrected.

Script Update

Customer Service Announcement
Hi, Abelmoschus Esculentus, and thankyou for using my meganuke script. This is a courtesy message to let you know that it has had a major update. The option to invoke the script has moved from the "More" tab to the Twinkle tab.

While still a Beta, version 2 is faster at reverting than version 1, it offers more configurability, and it also offers administrative tools. I hope you enjoy the new version! ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 10:50, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

@Abelmoschus Esculentus (alt): Thanks, and not a problem at all. Although on this last round they were hopping IPs faster than the old version of the script could respond! ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 11:27, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
