Vandalism to meme pages

  • Actions: Disallow

Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 01:06, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Looks like the third filter log entry should be disallowed by filter 1233 (hist · log) but wasn't caught, the second log entry looks like your everyday run-of-the-mill disruption, and the first log entry is likely low-effort disruption that may want to be prevented by some filters. Maybe we could set 1163 (hist · log) to warn+tag or disallow.
By the way,  !( (removed_lines + page_title) irlike abuseStr) basically means that Skibidi Toilet additions are excluded from said article describing this meme itself. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 02:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Also, please note that before disallowing, we always test filters on log or tag before to minimize the possibility of a huge amount of false positives. If this is made into a seperate filter then, I highly doubt it will be set to disallow immediately. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 13:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
I hereby retract saying to set 1163 to disallow after seeing your comment, but couldn’t we at least set this to warn with the tag? Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 14:58, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, but I believe that usually, filters are first set to log or tag just to see if they work well or not, as even warning could be problematic if the filter has too many FPs. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 15:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Can someone start this filter with no actions enabled first please? Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 20:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Can you break down what each part of that filter is trying to do? It doesn't make sense to me. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Done. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 22:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Done. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 21:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Alright. So we have:
meme := "(?i)(" + str_replace(page_title," ","|") + ")";
and
length(meme) * 2 < rcount(meme,added_lines) | // prevent excessive use of the meme
First, you're generating meme by splitting apart the title. That's clever, but what about a title like "Bozo the Clown"? One of your words is going to be "the". Second, rcount() counts the total number of matches, not the total length of the matches put together. If you want to prevent excessive use of a word, say something more like:
rcount(meme, added_lines) - rcount(meme, removed_lines) > 2
But I don't that's a good idea. It's natural for the title of the article to be repeated many times throughout the page.
Now we have:
get_matches(bad_desc,added_lines) > 3 | // prevent defamation of the meme
But get_matches() returns a fixed-size array. I'm not sure what the "3" is supposed to mean.
And finally:
(removed_lines irlike meme_cat & !old_wikitext irlike meme_cat) // prevent decategorization from meme categories
This won't match anything, but could be fixed by using added_lines instead of old_wikitext. But we already have 132 (hist · log) for category removal.
Thanks for this, but I think it's just inevitable that "meme pages" are going to end up semi-protected, at least temporarily. There are just too many creative ways to vandalize. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:24, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Maybe the 3 in get_matches(bad_desc,added_lines) > 3 | // prevent defamation of the meme is supposed to be compared to the array length so maybe @Faster than Thunder really just meant length(get_matches(bad_desc,added_lines)) > 3. I also do sadly agree that vandalism to meme pages is bound to happen, and we'll probably need to protect them at some point. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 22:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
@Faster than Thunder: Also, if we have a bad_desc variable to prevent defamation, wouldn't another issue be to say that the meme is the "best"? So would it also be a good idea to create a separate variable to prevent additions like that? – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 02:57, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
I implemented your suggestions. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 17:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Could we also block "skibidi toilet", "skibidi", and such as per the thread below? I don't know how the filters work. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 19:17, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
They are already added because of "skibid." Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 19:34, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
See this, which an IP vandalized using "skibidi toilet" as the edit summary. This should be added @Faster than Thunder. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 23:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
That is the wrong filter to request it in, because that was in another article, but this could be added to a new filter idea or something like 614 (hist · log). – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 00:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Very funny. XD Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 20:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Now that some improvements have been made to the filter idea, what new changes need to be made to the filter before it can be created? Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 17:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
I share the same concerns as SoY. Vandals on meme pages are going to come up with new ways faster than a filter can catch them, and it's far more efficient to just protect the small number of "meme-type" pages than to try and craft a filter that has every single variation and type of petty vandalism out there. It's possible for general vandalism filters, because the terms in those are spread throughout the encyclopedia, but for specific pages, it's going to just end up with vandals getting around the filter on purpose. EggRoll97 (talk) 22:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
@EggRoll97 That's very true. However, these vandals seem to vandalize with "meme words" on all the pages, so hmmmm. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:22, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Yeah. I think the best thing to do is to just semi-protect the meme pages, instead of creating and constantly changing a filter that won't catch all the vandalism sadly. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 04:45, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

"Skibidi" username filter

I've noticed that new usernames which contain "Skibidi" in them often are used only for disruption/vandalism/trolling. Is there any way we could add a filter which blocks all usernames with "Skibidi" and/or sends them to UAA? If you reply here, please ping me. Thanks — thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure if creating a filter that prevents Skibidi (toilet) usernames is necessary (after all, it compares every account creation when set to action == "createaccount"); there is User:AmandaNP/UAA/Blacklist in which you can propose adding s+k+[i1bdt]{4,}y*\b on the talk page. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 03:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Also note that the regex above would need to be continuosly updated as the filter changes. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 19:47, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Not really; there's no need to catch them all. I don't like disallowing usernames which scream "I am NOTHERE" but aren't so offensive as to require a revdel; those usernames just make the vandalism easier to spot. (Plus the first word to disallow should be "Truth".) And reporting to UAA on account creation isn't really helpful unless the username is block-on-sight. They might wait hours or days to edit, or never edit at all. Now, we could have filter which reports to UAA on the first edit, at which point it's usually clear what the user is up to. But as CN points out, DeltaQuadBot already does that, so why not just add to DQB's list? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 19:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Malformed requests at WP:AFC/R

I'm not good at this, but something like this might work: 

format := "
^== .* ==\n
*Target of redirect:\[\[.+\]\]\n
*Reason:.*\n
*Source (if applicable):.*\n
<references />\n
~~~~$
"

!( "confirmed" in user_groups ) &
page_title == "Articles for creation/Redirects" &
!(added_lines_pst rlike format)

'''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 07:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

@CanonNi: This seems like a single-page issue, which is more of an WP:RFPP thing. Maybe pending changes protection to that page could help? EggRoll97 (talk) 18:58, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah. That is a fair point, but we do have similar filters for WP:RFPP (filter 1291 (hist · log)) so this is not unheard of. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Good point. I've requested protection at RFPP. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 23:57, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Prevent self-promotion on Talk:Instagram

  • Task: A new filter could prevent the non-autoconfirmed from adding links to instagram[.]com to Talk:Instagram.
  • Reason: There has been a persistent problem with self-promotion on Talk:Instagram where users link their Instagram profiles or posts in an attempt to gain followers. This advertising is quickly reverted. Semi-protection has been applied as a countermeasure, though the protecting admin has admitted that this isn't ideal (see Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2024/06). I believe that this filter would be a better alternative than protecting a talk page.
  • Diffs: Examples of such promotion: [5] [6]

Air on White (talk) 00:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Support such a filter, with the result being Disallow. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Wait... isn't the talk page already semi-protected? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection recently expired; immediately after, the page started being bombarded with promotion. It was soon semi-protected again. I am requesting a filter because it is better than semi-protecting. Air on White (talk) 02:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Which is why I agree. Just saying. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
I took a superficial look of the last 50+ edits and I'm not convinced that self-promotion (adding links) is even 1/4th of the disruption, so I don't foresee the protection being removed even if this filter is made. – 2804:F14:80BE:B501:BC28:2F:9049:1F4D (talk) 07:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Also, in general, I would say that this is a too temporary (probably) and localized issue to warrant a whole new filter. Page protection (semi or pending changes) should be the way to work. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah...I can't see a filter being much better at this than semi-protection. Probably going to be more of a  Not done for now. EggRoll97 (talk) 04:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Prevent addition of word "incel"

  • Task: Prevent non-autoconfirmed from adding the word "incel" to article space.
  • Reason: This word is mostly used for vandalism and particularly affects BLPs. It should be prohibited like the rest of zoomer/moomer slang used in vandalism.
  • Diffs: example

Air on White (talk) 21:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

I can see legitimate use for the word as something someone has called themselves, or for talking about such people. So this shouldn't be done without a whitelist. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 08:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Yes. There are literally hundreds of articles that use the word correctly, most of which are not BLPs. There's also a company and a drug called "Incel". Black Kite (talk) 08:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
At least add it. Filter 614 allows individual use of terms like "gyatt" and "rizz" but bans them in combination. Air on White (talk) 09:14, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
What about that at least add this to tag-only 189 (hist · log) for BLP articles? Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 18:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
How many times does a person add "incel" to a BLP to vandalize it? How many times in contrast does a living person actually describe themselves as an incel with RS to back it up? The ratio is too high for non-autoconfirmed to keep adding the term. We ban Blogspot, the Daily Mail and Breitbart for the same reason even though they have conceivable legitimate uses. Air on White (talk) 09:17, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Here's another catch: pages where the use of "incel" is legitimate are likely already semi-protected due to incel-related vandalism. Air on White (talk) 09:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
I would suggest that we test it out and refine the regex at 189 (hist · log) as Codename Noreste suggested, where we can see the FP rate and if this addition is really needed first. If it seems to be effective and useful, we can move it to a disallow filter. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 18:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit filter 803

Hi. Could the line !('/' in page_title) & be removed from 803 (hist · log)? I can't think of a scenario where a new user would need to edit someone else's subpage, and I've seen users vandalizing guestbooks and other subpages before. Thanks. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

If you only remove that line then new users editing their own subpage will be hit. Nobody (talk) 11:03, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Adding page_first_contributor != user_name could work for already created subpages. Nobody (talk) 11:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Yeah I think that will work too. (sorry I'm not that familiar with edit filters) '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:29, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't have a solution for hitting subpage creations on other users yet. Can non-confirmed editors even do that? Nobody (talk) 11:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
I don't think so... I tried creating a subpage of my userpage logged out and it won't let me. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Then this change could be worthwile. Nobody (talk) 11:41, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Unregistered users can't create any pages in userspace, including their "own". Registered but not confirmed editors can create pages anywhere in userspace. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 21:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
@Suffusion of Yellow Do you think it would need a RfC if we wanted to block non-confirmed users from creating subpages for other users? Nobody (talk) 05:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm asking since the edits tagged by Filter 733 (log) don't look that good. Nobody (talk) 05:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
It would still need some sort of wider discussion, though maybe not a giant RFC. I'm not convinced this is a good idea. This edit seems to be from a student editor who is (according to their userpage) participating in some sort of translation project. Again, if users want to collaborate on a draft, does it really matter where they put it? Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:14, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I've been keeping an eye on Filter 733 and I don't think that the one translating clatt that User:OberMegaTrans is running is a good enough reason for not changing it to disallow. But I agree that the change to 803 would need a bigger discussion. Nobody (talk) 05:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
This is simple enough technically, but 803 was only enabled after an RFC which specifically excluded supages. An obvious use-case is collaborating on a draft. If you want to start a second RFC, let me know, and I'll create a log-only filter tracking subpage edits so people don't have to speculate. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 20:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Prevent non-autoconfirmed creating IP userpages

  • Task: Non-autoconfirmed users and IPs should not be able to create userpages that are not of their own IP.
  • Reason: I discover and nominate at least one such page every week. Most seem to be created in error, and users should be warned to create pages at the right title. A disproportionate number of such pages, however, are spam or vandalism. There is also an LTA who persistently creates userpages for IPv4s starting with "85."
  • Diffs: User:154.115.222.191/sandbox created by a registered user to post a biography. User:154.115.231.75/Sample page, User:177.223.175.103, etc. are similar.

Air on White (talk) 00:14, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Did you ask about this anywhere else? This suggestion seems very familiar. – 2804:F14:8086:B701:80CC:FCD6:43E3:855B (talk) 03:01, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I asked in WP:VPT, but the discussion never picked up. Air on White (talk) 03:03, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I was remembering this Teahouse question, actually. Anyways, I have no other comment, but the edit notice may be relevant for your suggestion. – 2804:F1...E3:855B (talk) 03:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
I misremembered then. There were three types of arguments against such a filter: The first fundamentally misunderstands either the problem or the proposal. The second straw mans or slippery slopes my argument as a ban on IP editing. The third is a fallacious sentiment that too much effort would be needed for this. It would only save editor time if I didn't have to deal with these bullshit userpages in the first place - how hard is it to just add the filter and the necessary warning to not create sandboxes for random IPs that aren't your own? Air on White (talk) 03:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Mind you, IPs already can't create pages except in various talk namespaces, so IP's can't create their own user pages, would make a filter even simpler.
Also I wasn't making any sort of point, I just remembered it - do read the edit notice before discussing the LTA part of this suggestion in any detail though (if it's even significant enough to be relevant).

Modify filter 1076

I propose that 1076 (hist · log), with a filter's description of "Draftified article more than 180 days old", be modified from a threshold of 180 days to 90 days. The notes in the filter say the following:

  • 2020/09/20 - changed from 90 to 120 days - NPP often takes longer than 90 days (bv)
  • 2021/12/10 - change to 180 days (bv)

Since these changes where the filter moved from 90 to 180 days, there has been a RfC on the matter of draftifications and how long after creation is appropriate. It was closed March 24, 2022, and the result was that pages over 90 days should not generally be draftified. As such, it makes sense for the filter to reflect this. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I second this as well. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:10, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Common sockpuppetry activity

  • Task: Catches phrases that indicate potential sockpuppetry of vandals.

Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 05:13, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Faster than Thunder, I would highly recommend sending this to the edit filter mailing list on wikipedia-en-editfilters@lists.wikimedia.org because this might involve sockpuppetry stuff or similar (assuming that you might or might not have read the edit notice about not discussing private filters here). EFMs on the mailing list might add this type of edit to, for example, 53 (hist · log), or it might be worth adding this to a new private filter. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 22:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Drmies wants a filter

  • Task: Drmies left a note at WP:AN linking to Special:Contributions/Learoy4, all of whose edits had the same summary, all of which have been revdelled as Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material. Example, if you're an admin and able to see the revdelled content
  • Reason: Based on the AN request, I suspect that this summary is being used by other accounts or IPs. Drmies blocked Learoy4 for vandalism, so we won't see further problems from this account.
  • Diffs: Every edit by Learoy4 has the same summary, so preventing further edits by other accounts or IPs should be trivial. If the wording is changed a little, well, you're the filter maintainers and I'm not; maybe you could find a way to make things better.

Nyttend (talk) 12:54, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Nyttend, @Drmies: see the comments for Special:AbuseFilter/1314. —Ingenuity (t • c) 14:57, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Nyttend, you can check Smalljim's log--I blocked a few but they blocked more. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 15:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Yup. Dozens of them. It's some known LTA case, but I don't care which. I'll keep playing whack-a-vandal while I can. Keep an eye on 1314.  —Smalljim  16:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Maybe, just maybe, there's a tiny chance if we can set to disallow or add the summary regex to 52 and disable 1314, but further discussions should not happen here. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 04:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Just curious, is there any page where discussion can happen securely (something requiring admin or filter-editor rights just to view) without relying on the email address provided in the edit notice? I've looked at filter 1314's notes, and I can see people saying "To explain why..." and "Is this so-and-so" (as Ingenuity recommends), but nowhere that's being used for discussion. Nyttend (talk) 10:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
Nope. I've proposed a private wiki for facilitating this kind of discussion before but it did not get much traction. The current canonical venue is always the mailing list. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

{{AfC submission}}

  • Task: Prevent the removal of past AfC decline and rejections.
  • Reason: They're not supposed to be removed by non-reviewers. (There's a invisible comment that says <!-- Important, do not remove this line before article has been created. --> beside the templates)
  • Diffs: A lot.

I've tested possible code for this filter on Test Wiki (see here), and it seems to work well. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:12, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Looks good, except you forgot exempting new page reviewers in the test wiki code, so maybe make it something like !contains_any(user_groups, 'extendedconfirmed', 'sysop', 'bot', 'patrol')? – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Ultimately it doesn't particularly have much effect, since I can't really think of any patroller who isn't extendedconfirmed already. The only ones who would be are bots, who already operate with a bot flag. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
True. I didn't think of that, but one might keep it there just to be safe? – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 01:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
This probably needs wider discussion. I'd support it, but I suspect the anti-draftspace people would object. At a minimum, should probably make a post at WT:AFC. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Good idea. I've posted a {{please see}} there. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 03:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
meh. There are two situations where the AFC submission tags are being removed. In the first case, the draft-writer is attempting to hide past declines and/or unaware that they shouldn't replace declines with a new submit tag. In the second case, someone (and it could even be the draft creator) is moving the draft to the article space, which meets the before article has been created clause of the hidden comment. Can the filter tell the difference between these two cases? If not, then I do not think it will be a helpful filter (unless it is log-only). Primefac (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
I think it can. The !added_lines irlike '#redirect' line is used to not catch drafts that were turned into redirects (likely from a page move). '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 13:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
I suppose my concern is if someone wants to clean up the draft before they move it to the article space, it will flag it as a violation, no? Primefac (talk) 14:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Hmm... that's a good point. Maybe the template can say something like "Only remove this template if the draft has been moved into mainspace."? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Setting the filter to warn rather than disallow as you propose sounds like a good compromise. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I would like to have autowikibrowser rights to speed up edits that are too slow when done manually. I work with {{infobox company}} articles and would like to use AWB for speeding up edits that would take way too long to edit manually. WiinterU 00:24, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

User:RodRabelo7

Hello,

Recently, I have made hundreds of edits primarily consisting of correcting proper names related to Brazil and, more generally, to the Portuguese-speaking world. For example, I have fixed the name of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, which was incorrectly spelled on dozens, if not hundreds, of pages (sometimes as Luís Inácio, Luis Inacio, etc.). Other cases relating to presidents of Brazil include José Sarney (sometimes spelled Jose Sarney), Juscelino Kubitschek (sometimes spelled Juscelino Kubitscheck), and so on, to avoid going into too much detail. Regarding place names, I have corrected Rio de Janeiro (sometimes spelled Río de Janeiro, Rio De Janeiro, etc.), São Paulo (sometimes spelled Sao Paulo, etc.), Brasília (often spelled Brasilia), and so forth. There are more to be corrected, such as Belém, Maranhão, and so on.

That said, I would like to gain access to AutoWikiBrowser to make these edits more easily and efficiently, no more being so limited to redirects as I currently am. For what it's worth, I am fully aware of WP:NOTBROKEN, so I will not make changes to valid redirects, but rather to those with spelling errors ("Spelling errors and other mistakes should be corrected. Don't link to a misspelled redirect"). I also refer to WP:DIACRITICS, emphasizing that the changes I make are well-supported by English-language sources.

Finally, given that AutoWikiBrowser is such a powerful tool, I commit to being cautious while using it, always following the principle "if I'm not sure, I won't do it", to avoid issues that could lead to losing access to it. I have some knowledge of regular expressions, which could be useful when operating it.

Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

I was given a two-moth extension about two months ago, and I wanted to apply now for full-time approval to be a new page reviewer. I have been active in AfDs, and, as suggested in my temporary approval last time, I have reviewed many more pages than the first two months of my reviewership. All of the AfDs I have created have spawned genuine discussion, and I have also approved several new pages that pass the standards of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. I feel as though I have done enough to earn full-time approval, but I would appreciate any approval the admins are willing to give. I enjoy this work, and I enjoy helping clean up Wikipedia.

As someone who constantly reverts disruptive editors and reports vandals to WP:AIV almost daily, I would greatly appreciate access to rollback permissions to facilitate my work. Skitash (talk) 20:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 21:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
I apologize for not consistently warning editors when reverting their edits. This was primarily the case with IP hoppers, as warnings seemed redundant given that IPs keep changing. For instance, instead of warning this IP I believed to be a WP:LOUTSOCK of Derklnin (whom I had already warned), I opted to request protection for the page at WP:RPPI to secure the article against long-term IP vandalism instead. Moving forward, I will make sure to issue a warning for every IP and registered user I revert. Skitash (talk) 22:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
