Create local account and IP block exemption on zhwiki and enwiki
My IP got blocked per the web-host policy, but I use a private VPN and it is the only way to contribute in an oppressive state. Therefore I request my local account to be created, and be granted IP block exemption on the aforementioned two project. thanks. -libre-0 (talk) 07:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- @-libre-0: the meta sysops and bureaucrats can't do anything for you on those projects. You will need to request unblock/createlocal from the admins on those projects using their unblock systems (email list and w:en:WP:UTRS). — xaosflux Talk 09:59, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Where to Talk about global rules in the AbuseFilter?
Gudn Tach! (Hi!)
I did not find any page where I can talk about specific rules of the AbuseFilter or the AbuseFilter in general. For example I'd like to talk about a syntax error before fixing it. Of course I could use the user talk page of the creator of the rule, but i'd prefer a central place to go where people can transparently see discussions about the AbuseFilter. Is there such a place? If not: Where should it be created? -- seth (talk) 20:35, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- seth There is not a place. We have tended to just leave good notes in the notes and inline, with the occasional prod on a user talk page. We are usually less interested in content at the global level, as it is typically anti-spam and the anti-LTA, and they are without blocking actions.
As the global filters have now expanded in their scope it may be time that we mimic the best example for us of what is used around the other wikis. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:23, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
How do I get past this abuse filter?
I was trying to make my global userpage here. The content includes some css code and also my links to my profiles on other wikis. But I keep running into a filter called Global "ntsamr"-pattern spambot filter. How do I get past that to create my page? Piccadilly Ann (talk) 21:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
