Request for help bypassing spam filter on community support fund page
editHello, I'm trying to create a new grant application under the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund, but my edit was blocked by the spam filter. I'm a good-faith contributor and not adding any external links or promotional material.
I am also a Wikimedia community leader actively involved in organizing and supporting projects in my region. Kindly assist in allowing me to publish my section or advise on how best to proceed. Thank you. TessiDon (talk) 12:40, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
- @TessiDon: You are currently autoconfirmed so the spam filter should not affect your account. Looking at the filter(s) you triggered, this was back in June of this year. Codename Noreste (talk) 13:13, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

MassMessage request for new global bot status request
editHello, I've made a new global bot request (Steward_requests/Bot_status#Global_bot_status_for_User:SchlurcherBot). Could someone please help me publicized this request via MassMessage as required by the Bot policy. The distribution list is here: Bot policy/New global bot discussion. Thanks. --Schlurcher (talk) 05:52, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Schlurcher, what message would be used to announce global bot requests? Codename Noreste (discuss • contribs) 16:29, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- @Codename Noreste: If there is no standard text, then, previous announcements seem to use this type of text:
== Global bot approval request for SchlurcherBot ==
<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
{{int:hello}}! {{#ifeq:{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}|en||I apologize for sending this message in English. {{int:please-translate}}.}}
In accordance to [[:m:Bot policy#Global bots|the policy]], this message is to notify you that there is a new approval request for a global bot.
The discussion is available at [[:m:Steward_requests/Bot_status#Global_bot_status_for_User:SchlurcherBot|Steward_requests/Bot_status#Global_bot_status_for_User:SchlurcherBot]] on Meta-Wiki. All Wikimedia community members are invited to participate.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards, ~~~~

User:Spiralgang
editSpiralgang, whose global account was created just a few hours ago, created the following 4 pages:
- User:Spiralgang/minerva.css
- User:Spiralgang/vector.css
- User:Spiralgang/vector-2022.css
- User:Spiralgang/common.css
The first three aren't actually written in CSS. Edit summaries are nonsensical. The contents suggest that they were generated by some kind of AI. Please delete all of them as per NOTWEBHOST. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 18:14, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Abuse of account creation – Mahmoudmrdom
editUser:Mahmoudmrdom is abusing account creation:
Both accounts created by him. He is blocked elsewhere for vandalism. Requesting block. Saroj (talk) 03:13, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- Have these accounts edited recently? Codename Noreste (discuss • contribs) 04:16, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- This is what I'm thinking. While the account names are almost the exact same, there's no editing activity from either account for behavioral evidence, and given lack of any edits whatsoever there's nothing CheckUser would be able to find either. His block is also on mediawikiwiki for activity on Phabricator, not on a wiki. I don't see any reason to block on Meta without misconduct on Meta. EggRoll97 (talk) 04:18, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, I wasn’t saying Mahmoudmrdom is using multiple accounts; I meant that this user is actually creating new accounts themselves — you can see it in the user creation log. That’s why I reported it under “Abuse of account creation,” since they seem to be using the account creation tool to make accounts like MAHMUDMARDUM and محمودمردوم, not for editing but for creating other accounts.
