[04:54:17] There should be no need to use EC at all. Only users with at least 25 global edits can edit this wiki anyway and that tends to be enough. [09:20:13] any active admins here? [09:20:38] don't ask to ask; what do you need [09:23:00] someone from this group is asking for a money in DMs (re @ChlodAlejandro: don't ask to ask; what do you need) [09:34:15] done (re @nemoralis: someone from this group is asking for a money in DMs) [11:18:31] Have we heard this? [11:18:32] Fellow Wikimedians... a message from Maryana, our CEO: if you're still in Nairobi at 5:30p today (Sunday), please stop by for a casual mixer, Novotel Hotel, top floor. [11:38:57] Is this for all of us? (re @Jennifer 8.: Have we heard this? [11:38:58] Fellow Wikimedians... a message from Maryana, our CEO: if you're still in Nairobi at 5:30p today (Sunday), ...) [11:55:09] Interesting — what mechanism is used to implement that? (re @Leaderboard: There should be no need to use EC at all. Only users with at least 25 global edits can edit this wiki anyway and that tends to b...) [12:20:19] Where was this posted? (re @Jennifer 8.: Have we heard this? [12:20:21] Fellow Wikimedians... a message from Maryana, our CEO: if you're still in Nairobi at 5:30p today (Sunday), ...) [12:45:35] A basic abuse filter (https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/7) (re @waldyrious: Interesting — what mechanism is used to implement that?) [13:09:22] quiet plea if anyone has powers for help at some point with getting my gitlab account approved :) user name: Dactylantha : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/d4d9c7aa/file_72938.jpg [13:10:09] Do you have it connected with your Phab account (via the developer identity)? (re @Brodie: quiet plea if anyone has powers for help at some point with getting my gitlab account approved :) user name: Dactylantha) [13:10:28] Yes - it was approved but for some reason I am being blocked [13:10:57] From https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/GitLab [13:10:58] Your GitLab account gets automatically approved within one hour if you are a member of Trusted Contributors in Gerrit (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/groups/2021f25e7515187a81d51f8fe14dd6f25617cce0,members), or a member of the Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/trusted-contributors/) and linked your Developer [13:10:58] account ("LDAP") to [13:10:59] your Phabricator account (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/) (please do so anyway). [13:11:01] Has it been an hour? [13:11:20] its been ~ three days [13:11:29] But your phab account isn't linked (re @Brodie: its been ~ three days) [13:11:40] Once you link it, the bot should pick it up. [13:12:40] indeed, on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Dactylantha/ [13:12:41] it says "*LDAP User*Unknown" [13:18:19] Come to think of it, with the current abuse filter in place, we might as well disable IP editing for wikimaniawiki. (re @Leaderboard: There should be no need to use EC at all. Only users with at least 25 global edits can edit this wiki anyway and that tends to b...) [13:29:43] Btw, could that abuse filter be tweaked to allow new users to make edits in their own user pages, and in talk pages (e.g. to request changes to be done by more established users) before they reach 25 global edits? (re @robertsky: Come to think of it, with the current abuse filter in place, we might as well disable IP editing for wikimaniawiki.) [13:56:36] That would be nice IMHO but I don't think that option exists (re @waldyrious: Btw, could that abuse filter be tweaked to allow new users to make edits in their own user pages, and in talk pages (e.g. to req...) [15:08:09] and @Effeietsanders [15:08:10] This is possible, but I did not do this because users do make out-of-scope edits on userspace and talk pages. For example: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/8573 and https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/8589 and https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/8574 (re @waldyrious: Btw, could that abuse filter be tweaked [15:08:10] to allow new user [15:08:11] s to make edits in their own user pages, and in talk pages (e.g. to req...) [15:09:12] The current mechanism involves asking people to request an edit at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum - that page is not protected.
