[edit] Re: AWB Troubles
Hi, I noticed you were having problems using AWB with a custom project back in November. I'm getting the same error. Did you figure it out? MatthewBurton 22:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, Which version are you using? Im presuming a recent version. From the last few version, i have been successfully able to edit custom wiki's. Some more changes have been made between then and the 3.6.1.1 release that is out now (And im now a AWB developer). The only problem i had, was that AWB wasnt able to pickup a logged in hook from the custom wiki's as they didnt have one of the hooks wikipedia does. Reedy Boy 16:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AIV
Thanks for the notice put up on WP:AIV about a vandal. They have not as of yet been blocked, due to the fact that they seemed to have stopped editing for now. But keep up the good work, but remember to warn users, as they cannot simply be blocked usually. Jmlk17 04:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- A couple of questions, as this is my first time reporting a vandal for banning:
- What behavior qualifies as active vandalism? This IP has vandalized the same article three times in the last week, most recently this evening. They may not be sitting at their computer waiting for it to be reverted, but they check this article often and delete the majority of it each time. I consider them active.
- Is it kosher for ME to recommend a ban if the final warning was issued by SOMEONE ELSE? That is what happened in this case. Just wondering. - MatthewBurton 04:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sure thing...happy to answer. First, an active vandal is someone who is continuing to vandalize actively, hence the name. They have/are ignoring warnings, and are often blocked if they continue. If someone vandalizes an article daily, but only once a day, then it is the same usually.
