Starting an Anti-Vandalism Initiative. List only started, but will grow, currently holding many repeat offenders. —Preceding comment was added at 23:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What to do about people who vandalize?

Is there a special page where I can list down people who've vandalized? Account in subject is: [Special:Contributions/Chocolate_goth] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.105.66 (talk) 15:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stuff

{{editprotected}}

In the block log it says $1 (talk, contribs) blocked $2 for $3
Could it say $1 (talk, contribs) blocked $2 (talk, contribs) for $3 ?

Just a suggestion. Respond on my talk page also. SLSB talk 23:35, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
From a look at MediaWiki:Blocklistline and MediaWiki:Blocklogentry, it appears those are generated server-side, which in turn would mean this request would have to be dealt with through Bugzilla. – Luna Santin (talk) 06:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
This is impossible on-wiki, due to the way block logs are handled. I have been working a lot lately on the block log in the code, and this sort of flexiility is what we are working on adding. I apologise if I (a non-admin) am not supposed to remove the editprotected tag. It seems invalid, since the edit is not possible. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 10:00, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

= = Insertformulahere = = [http: / / www.example.comlinktitle]== Try letting us search for Prefixes and suffixes... ==

...by searching like this:

        ---------------------------------------------
Search: | "-bot"                                    |
        ---------------------------------------------

Or:

        ----------------------------------------------
Search: |  "-admin"                                  |
        ----------------------------------------------

  • I agree. You used to be able to search for "John" and get all blocked users who have "John" in their usernames. However, the search feature now only returns exact matches. It would be nice if we could have prefix and suffix searches. --Ixfd64 22:50, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
  • On a related theme, is there any way to find the range block a particular address has fallen into? - Mike Rosoft 18:04, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 18 December 2007

Lots of IP vandalism today. Bearian (talk) 16:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

There was a lot yesterday too (Yesterday when today is June 5, 2008)Remilo (talk) 16:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] search rangeblocks

When I click on the link to search rangeblocks from Special:Ipblocklist I got a 4040not found error. How do I search for range blocks? Jeepday (talk) 01:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Now it gives me a "multiple headers" error msg:( DMacks (talk) 20:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
It seems to be working for me currently. I have learned that posting a note here is not the best place to get a fix. Post something at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard if you are still having the problem. No many people actually watch this page. Jeepday (talk) 02:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] autoblocks

Is there a tools about that we could link to at Special:IPBlockList for listing autoblocks? We used to have one, I just don't seem to see it now. If not, does anyone know who could create one? Ryan Postlethwaite 13:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Could be this one, doesn't seem to work anyway: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~pgk/autoblock.phpAlexSm 04:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can we?

Can we request for a certain IP or iser to be investigated? 68.197.99.151 added the word poopy to VS. Please reply on my talk page. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IP to block

71.125.192.192 added "gay" to several pages on 25 Feb 08.

The edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Hennessy&diff=prev&oldid=103328468 was done a day later. Will someone please verify that edit for accuracy based on the previous offenses from that IP?

I know how to edit pages on Wikipedia ... and that's about it. It's so hard to LEARN how to do any action more specific than editing articles because the "Special Pages" aren't searchable, and are hard to understand if you don't already understand them.

Could someone add a search box that will only search Wikipedia's "Special Pages"?

Yoda of Borg (talk) 09:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you want to search the "Special Pages". Most of them are listed at Help:Special page, if you mean that. To search the "Wikipedia:" namespace for something, do a search, then look at the bottom of the result page. It will have a checkbox with "Wikipedia" next to it. Also, at your preferences, you can specify that the Wikipedia pages should be searched by default.
As for user 71.125.192.192: I can't tell, but it might be a dynamic address. Good chance that it will never be used again, hence I never give warnings to such 'one-day flies', because it's propably pointless. That said,this edit to David Hennessy is interesting, but I don't think it was made by one and the same person, as it was made more then a year ago. I really can't tell if the information is false or not. I leave that others. He he, I'm lazy :p. Cheers, Face 13:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
One more thing btw: if an anon is causing trouble, and if it has had 3 warnings plus 1 final warning, you can report him/her at WP:AIV (remember that link). Cheers again, Face 13:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
