[02:17:58] [discord] ok, so someone is connecting from a school to do this [02:18:10] [discord] may be worth running checks on and flushing out as a global brigand then [02:18:20] [discord] from a school among other places I imagine [02:18:42] [discord] I think it would be preferable to take care of the origin of the problem if it's the same individual coming again and again rather than protection creep [05:17:10] [discord] yes [05:17:45] [discord] https://meta.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Gazetteer_of_wikis&action=history more of this [05:17:50] [discord] like still ongoing [05:21:55] [discord] partial block from only gazetteer of wikis: [05:21:56] [discord] ``` [05:21:57] [discord] 167.88.0.0/16 [05:21:59] [discord] 188.25.0.0/16 [05:22:00] [discord] ``` [05:22:01] [discord] lock: [05:22:03] [discord] ``` [05:22:04] [discord] Maevender [05:22:05] [discord] ``` [05:22:06] [discord] could also lock a large list of now inactive vandalism only accounts from the gazetteer of wikis page history but seems like a waste of time [05:22:16] [discord] I protected the Gazetteer of wikis against non-autoconfirmed users [05:22:22] [discord] alright [05:22:24] [discord] sounds good ig [09:36:35] @Agent not sure protecting if is a good idea? Users not active on Meta, might want to add their wiki there, meaning they would now have to become autoconfirmed on Meta to do so. I see a use case for non-autoconfirmed users to edit that page. [13:32:35] [discord] prefer not to hit /16 unless strictly necessary [13:32:57] [discord] and yeah, I'm reluctant with protecting the gazetteer especially to full ac [13:33:02] [discord] to users might be fine [13:33:29] [discord] alternatively we proceed with the initiative to drop it entirely since that page is an unmaintained mess that just soaks time [16:14:41] [discord] tbh I agree with this [16:15:02] [discord] the page is a true mess and honestly, no one really uses it anyways [16:15:19] [discord] in the sense that people use it when looking up wikis [16:40:36] [discord] It's a good idea, except ~half the wikis listed are closed or deleted. Not especially curated. 😦 [16:41:43] [discord] i'll go through it [16:41:51] [discord] still painful [16:43:02] [discord] actually no i'm not i don't have that sort of time [16:44:19] [discord] can someone though [16:44:29] [discord] if not i'll do it tonight or something [18:17:28] [discord] Returning to the topic of protection levels, users would make sense. IP edits are silly for something where the person adding a wiki should realistically have a relationship to the wiki added. [19:17:21] $log test [19:17:23] Failed to save item!
