Ternera (talk) 16:18, 6 May 2025 (UTC) The contributions of this user indicate promotional activity, especially page creations, so I would block them indefinitely and delete their page creations if I were an administrator. Could you please deal with the user? Thanks! Faster than Thunder (talk) 03:31, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

editRecently, some LTAs made bad edits to pages related to me, including my talk page itself. This filter would block users who make actions that match the following rule:
bad := "\{\{ *edit protected*\}\}|\d+:\d\d|\d{5,}";
(added_lines rlike bad) && (added_lines.length - removed.lines.length < 30) & !("confirmed" in user_groups)
Question
editWhere can a user request rights that allow them to create and edit abuse filters on this wiki? Faster than Thunder (talk) 01:58, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- If you think you can be trusted enough to handle abuse filters, you may apply for Meta sysop. If you are trusted, your request will likely pass; if you aren't, then it will likely fail. But given your track record, please don't go applying for Meta sysop because I can guarantee it's not going to end well for you. //shb (t • c) 02:01, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Meta unfortunately doesn't have the sheer userbase of Wikipedia, so individual rights of the admin toolset cannot be given individually. Anyways, I've learned my lesson from over 1,000 days ago: Don't edit for power. Faster than Thunder (talk) 02:07, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Yes...and if you think you're trusted enough to edit abuse filters, WM:RFA for sysop does exist. //shb (t • c) 02:09, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
