[02:35:11] [1/5] @Meta Administrators could you add these to global title blacklist (for preventing impersonation)? [02:35:12] [2/5] ``` [02:35:12] [3/5] .W[4A]K[I1L]\d{3}. [02:35:12] [4/5] .[すず]{2}ね[-‐ー―−〜~ｰ]う. [02:35:13] [5/5] ``` [02:35:55] are there cases where this has happened? [02:37:00] One just happened a few minutes ago: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Wakis285; there are also a few reported accounts spoofing the latter regex [02:37:08] can [02:37:11] ^ [02:37:12] can't wait [02:37:54] done [02:38:50] ty [02:39:26] let's have a lock on this @CVT [02:40:32] What is a bit surprising about this is that AntiSpoof does not detect the difference between - and -... [02:41:04] do I need to fix something [02:41:12] no [02:41:16] antispoof issue i think [02:41:18] got it [02:46:22] [1/2] Wait a minute [02:46:23] [2/2] I just had a classmate tell me that he created a spoof account as a joke against me [02:46:28] what a shit [02:46:44] lmao I asked for his account to be locked 😭 [02:46:46] oh well [02:47:03] Well locking is a good idea [02:47:13] lol [02:47:29] But CU (if this classmate's words are true) is not necessary [02:47:39] because we are using shared IP in my school [02:48:47] I'll tell him to stop this fucking shit [02:49:35] tl;dr: lock [[Special:CA/Wakis285]] please but CU not needed [02:49:35] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CA/Wakis285 [02:49:36]

[04:59:01] Can't close a request but I think there's been cases in the past where sysops have been able to administrate stuff like this, though I don't know for sure [05:00:05] what about this is about local permissions though [05:00:32] as far as i saw this is a request for that user to get admin on meta [05:01:07] If I have the authority to do it, I’ll just step in and put a nail it in now [05:01:19] yeah so a local perms request as opposed to global [05:01:33] oh i misunderstood lol [05:01:40] all good lol [05:01:53] tbh I still hate that WC is on RfP instead of RfGP [05:01:57] but that’s just my 2c [05:02:29] global/local distinction is a bit fluky there [05:06:40] In what way do you mean "administer"? [05:07:25] I'll close it as SNOW [05:07:44] yeah, basically snow close, canvass closes, stuff like that [05:08:09] I'd say that Meta admins can't close global requests unless they apply M:UCP like any other user [05:08:23] for admin though that's a difficult question [05:44:41] Intresting [05:47:06] Hello! I would like to report a user who has created obscure articles on several Miraheze wikis [05:47:10] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/JavierBot [05:58:39] @CVT ^ appears to be a vandalism-only account [05:59:36] Is it not possible to block his account globally? [06:00:22] will probably be globally locked for being vandalism-only when a CVT member with permissions can check it [06:00:59] we are a very small number of volunteers [06:01:50] ^ that too [06:02:18] yeah…. [06:02:31] does WC count in local as well? it’s been said to be before…. [06:04:14] I think it's local because there is no global group [06:06:09] I have a rather extreme ideology and will say that if a global renamer exists it should be discussed at RfP on the grounds that there is no (technical) global group [07:04:40] WC RfPs need to be closed by stewards, that's written into the page documenting the role. [07:04:56] They're an odd one that's global in scope but local in function. [07:08:20] Admins can't grant/remove admin from other users, so I wouldn't necessarily consider them the authority for an admin-specific RfP. Though this is pretty clearly a SNOW close, thanks to Reception for handling. [14:16:08] I know it's quite confusing but basically whoever doesn't have the power to grant/revoke a right can only close requests when the criteria in https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:User_close_policy is fulfilled [14:18:04] ah well, you closed it [14:18:08] so in the end, all good [15:18:40] https://indopolitik.miraheze.org/wiki/Istimewa:Kontribusi_pengguna/JavierBot I forgot to ask for help deleting all those user-generated articles [15:20:15] I have asked the Wiki administrator for help but he did not respond to my message [15:20:58] @Stewards please delete all article in IndoPolitik Wiki [15:22:27] spam is queued for deletion [15:26:01] Thank you [19:50:36] @suzuneu looks like your bot miss fired on [[SR/G]] [19:50:36] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/SR/G [19:50:37]

[22:04:18] got it [22:04:38] maybe an extra test if the variable for the locker is missing
