BetaWiki:Administrators' noticeboard


Influx of "Censored" and garbage vandalism of usernames[edit source]

I have been seeing many bad usernames and "What is the Windows equivalent of the MS-DOS SCANDISK.EXE program? (talk)" in the abuse filter log. Recently more bad usernames in it as well. Can this get admin attention? Thanks Kucf (talk) 18:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Help with redirect page[edit source]

I was creating a redirect to my draft so that the link on BetaWiki:Community portal wouldn't be messed up.

Here is the screenshot of the error (reason I am posting here is because "Inform an administrator of what you were doing".

The edit filter Special:AbuseFilter/31 has tripped my page. Is there a fix or not?

Edit filter issue

Luna (talk) 15:34, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

By default, pages in the "main" category cannot contain links to draft pages. That's why this warning exists. Motomagx (talk) 22:14, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

How do you know that if you've only had an account for 1 month. 2601:981:4401:1CC0:1838:FED5:2473:FEE3 08:25, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Request for adminship[edit source]

If there is any administrators welcome, may I please become an admin? I have substantially edited on other wikis as well, as well as remained as good faith. If you would like to vote, please do so below. -Luna Luna (talk) 17:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

You have only made 2 actual edits on the wiki.. Gfc1N23 (talk) 17:32, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
Who are you? --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 17:33, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
I am someone who edits multiple wikis, including Wikipedia. I am someone who works with nostalgic items and early released software. My nickname is Luna, and I am in the United States. Luna (talk) 14:32, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
The account "Luna" on Wikipedia has 0 edits. Also, you have made 2 actual edits by the point I said that, excluding this "request". Gfc1N23 (talk) 14:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
As a response to Gfc1N23, I have made 16 edits, not 2. Luna (talk) 14:32, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Considering the fact that you have only been active just now (from Luna: I have been active since November, see contributions, and I was taking a wikibreak. and have very few edits in this wiki, I highly doubt you're going to get sysop permissions that easily. TheLightDeveloper (talk) 14:39, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Then what shall I do? Wait? There should be a page with requirement (time, edits, votes, etc)! Luna (talk) 14:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Maybe make some actual good edits first? Its not like you're gonna get admin immediately, this isn't some Minecraft server that's ran by a 7 year old... Mainnn (talk) 14:56, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Rule #1 of earning administrator privileges is don't ask for administrator privileges. --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 17:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Bruh. Why do I not have permission to edit my own user page? What the * is going on? Luna (talk) 17:33, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
FAQ --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 17:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
How do I use the {{redirect}} template for the Template:Infobox Windows page? It throws 'unknown error' and the template says nothing. That should either be a rename or a redirect. That page is also a wanted page in the page list. This error is the following error: Error: missing redirect parameter (help). Luna (talk) 14:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
I will create a suggestions page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luna (talkcontribs)

Username change request[edit source]

Hey, can you change my username to Rocketmoon (no spaces) please? Thanks. Luna (talk) 14:44, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

You made your acc 1 day ago and is asking for a username change? Can't you wait 6 months? Slovensky2000 (talk) 14:47, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
No, I made it in November! Why are you looking at that wrong? Luna (talk) 14:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
That's still not 6 months Slovensky2000 (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Fine, when do I get to change my username? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luna (talkcontribs)
That's basic math, should be mid-April for you. --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 17:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
Someting about six months is that it can be 181 days, 182 days 183 days or 184 days. So if you are concerned about this, fuck off because months are ambiguous. 170.80.111.119 06:18, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
There is nothing ambiguous about six months. Six months from 13 November is 13 April. It might not always be the same number of days but it's not like one or two days matter at this scale. --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 19:12, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Vandalism bot request[edit source]

This is a premiminary discussion

The bot from Wikipedia, ClueBot NG, should be implemented because there is quite a bit of spamming and problems on this website, also: the edit filters issue is that there are not enough. There should be someone making edit filters as vandals attempt to vandalize. These two should stop that problem that this site has been experiencing for 6+ years. Luna (talk) 14:53, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
The only actual way to stop vandalizm is to enable moderation, and we don't want that because its simply annoying. No, we're not gonna add that bot, we don't need to be completely identical to Wikipedia. Mainnn (talk) 14:57, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

I AM ANGRY[edit source]

I BLOCKED FOR ADDING PRODUCT KEY TO PAGE BUT I ALSO BLOCKED FOR REMOVING PRODUCT KEY OF PAGE. MAKE YOUR MIND — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.208.139.107 (talkcontribs)

The answer is simple, RTM pages shouldn't have product keys while most beta pages should. Mainnn (talk) 20:34, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Had I known that you would've just alt evade anyways I would've just went ahead and tell you to remain bounced from the site. Guess I better correct that now. BF10 (talk) 21:02, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Please don't use caps on the website. If you are angry, go do it on your own user page in an angryifier page. Luna (talk) 17:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Unban request for User:UsernameDotPeeAitchPee[edit source]

lmao did you seriously just use a bunch of proxies to "vote" for your unblock? You had a month ban, had you not evaded it with new accounts and proxy IPs then it would have expired in two weeks from now. We don't usually do unblock requests and when we do, it's always at administrators' discretion. Enjoy your indefinite ban now, this is getting ridiculous. --Ryuzaki (talk | contribs) 19:09, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Please remove this user[edit source]

Please remove this user User:Longestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongestlongest because I can't access it.

can you please delete the user? (permanently erase) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luna (talkcontribs)

This page is becoming really backlogged. If you would archive it, or tell me how to do so, thanks.[edit source]

No thanks. The noticeboard was just archived recently anyway. Mainnn (talk) 14:23, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Here is one example of such an act:

They're fine. I know them and they admit to their mistake and stuff. Its not that big of a deal. Mainnn (talk) 17:30, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

I see I probably don't know them better since my range was blocked during the time the user created an account. 2601:981:4401:1CC0:E1DB:F4C:E7FF:B753 17:39, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Username change request[edit source]

Only revisions that contain malicious links or NSFW materials will be hidden. This is still fine compared to many NSFW/scam edits that has been hidden, so no. — Preceding SIGNED comment added by A150.png insomnia {{Ic fluent person 12 filled.svg talkIc fluent list 20 filled.svg contribs}} | 10:46, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
