[20:24:47] @CVT There has been an IP address on `kasyswiki` copypasting Wikipedia articles relating to Michigan for about three days now - https://kasys.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/186.96.209.92; I'm not sure if this is some kind of attempt to get the wiki shut down or an admin contributing anonymously [20:30:03] Should there be some form of deletion of those copies? [20:30:41] Should we delete them? [20:31:23] If it's a CPV, probably [20:31:49] not sure if blocking the IP would be worth it or notify the admin [20:32:15] Taking a look, seems fine to me [20:32:22] I blocked the IP right as you said that; notifying the admin is probably a good choice [20:33:08] Going to undo that action, the IP should not have been blocked [20:33:25] Taking a look at the pagelist, the wiki's purpose seems pretty clear on something centered around Michigan [20:33:34] Lets discuss and come to a consensus before taking any further action [20:34:11] It looks like I bit my own tongue on that shit. [20:34:15] [1/2] this is the pagelist [20:34:15] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/443926951292567562/1310342742643183637/Screenshot_2024-11-24_at_12.34.09_PM.png?ex=6744df46&is=67438dc6&hm=015e28872bc668f58f71553ec6be8129ca6ba534bf82aba14278e98c4ca98999& [20:34:27] the pages added completely fit within scope in my view [20:35:06] But apparently, it would seem like that there was a report of it being copypasted. [20:36:04] The IP also copypasted talk pages, category pages, the works [20:36:23] It would appear that mass deleting them was the right call then. [20:36:40] "Popistan, officially the Federal Republic of Popistan, is a country in the Southern Ocean between South Africa and Antarctica." Where does Michigan fit into that? [20:37:26] dair enough [20:37:55] has the admin of the wiki in question been active recently?\ [20:39:09] Yes, but they don't appear to have taken any action against the mass uploader - https://kasys.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log/MissingGamer [20:39:31] Then if the wiki admin is active, they're aware of the editor, I'm sure [20:39:43] I don't see a need to intervene if there hasn't been a report filed on the matter [20:39:46] @brandon.wm Got it. [20:40:15] appreciated, thank you [20:40:28] I'll leave the templates exactly where they are, as they don't appear to be that bad. [20:41:01] That is not necessarily true - some admins may not even be aware of RecentChanges and don't know if someone is vandalizing until the vandal attacks one of the pages they're editing [20:41:17] @tali64 perhaps leave a message on the admin's talk page [20:41:38] either way I'd say make sure to make contact with the admin before taking action unless it's urgent [20:46:09] https://kasys.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:MissingGamer#Notice_of_IP_editor_copypasting_Wikipedia_articles_en_masse [20:48:19] wonderful [20:49:17] I did end up restoring one of the templates, one of them being a redirect to [[mh:kasys:Template:Clear]]. [20:49:17] https://mh.wikipedia.org/wiki/kasys:Template:Clear [20:49:18]

[20:52:35] maybe should have linked to the CP [20:52:45] you didnt explain why this is bad [20:53:45] I'll give them a link in a reply. [20:55:35] Nvm. Tali beat me to it. [21:06:21] gonna ask a @Stewards to give a once over to make sure we aint missing anything but prob fine(?) i admit im only half focused on this because doing dev work [22:38:39] If the admin is active, correct path would have been to notify and offer assistance with removal, ip block and mass delete is appropriate for otherwise abandoned wikis [22:39:23] Whenever local is an option the and the content isn't outright vandalism, better to defer to local
