That IP is back again
Hi Callanecc, That IP is back edit warring on the List of Maggie Smith performances again and has now decided to label my edits as vandalism and call me a troll in the process. I see they have also edit warred and labelled as vandalism on the Janey Godley page, so I'm not the only one who is struggling with this individual. Someone on the Godley history says the range should be banned, but as they hop IPs to different countries, I'm not sure that's going to be much of a barrier, but who knows. Thanks - SchroCat (talk)
- I've blocked 213.55.128.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from editing those two pages for a week for edit warring. I did 36 hours last time so we can keep increasing as needed. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- That's great - thanks very much indeed! - SchroCat (talk) 07:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Previously contentious topic blocked user on edit spree
Just checking, are you aware this user User talk:DMH223344, is currently making many edits to the Zionism page? Sorry I don't know how to link a talk page subject specifically, but you left something on their talk page regarding a block from the article. All of their edits are either on Israel, Zionism, or the Palestine-Israel conflict; so I just felt I should bring it to your attention. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 21:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Terrainman, I can't see any issues with DMH's editing to that article at the moment. The previous block was specifically for breaking the one-revert restriction on the article rather than any other issue. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:18, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oh I see, I saw that they had a high number of reverted changes to the article recently which is why I brought it up, but looks like those have stayed reverted so you're right it is fine and unrelated to their prior block. Cheers 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 23:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Rejected page protection
Please check the edit history . How am I supposed to do a dispute resolution thing since it's clear vandalism? "war flag" and naval flag has nowhere place in the infobox. Also multiple IP abuse. Beshogur (talk) 14:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Start a discussion on the talk page like you would for any other content dispute and let the other party know it's there (on their talk page). If they then decide not to contribute you deal with it as edit warring. I'd point out that the IP has started a discussion at Talk:Flags of the Ottoman Empire.

Please do not revert it back the article in the Oxford Mail is and was inaccurate, they attributed all my contributions to Charles Chapman a person whom has not being a part of the EXIENT story since 2011. I would like to keep the history as was written previously or I write the correct history but please do not put back something that is factually incorrect. 212.56.159.202 (talk) 14:10, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Protection on Yoon Suk Yeol
Since the temporary protection on Yoon Suk Yeol is because of ip users who vandalise, should it become pending changes for the remainder of the duration? Thanks. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 19:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-03
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- The Single User Login system is being updated over the next few months. This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time. It needs to be updated because of the ways that browsers are increasingly restricting cross-domain cookies. To accommodate these restrictions, login and account creation pages will move to a central domain, but it will still appear to the user as if they are on the originating wiki. The updated code will be enabled this week for users on test wikis. This change is planned to roll out to all users during February and March. See the SUL3 project page for more details and a timeline.
Updates for editors
- On wikis with PageAssessments installed, you can now filter search results to pages in a given WikiProject by using the
inproject:keyword. (These wikis: Arabic Misplaced Pages, English Misplaced Pages, English Wikivoyage, French Misplaced Pages, Hungarian Misplaced Pages, Nepali Misplaced Pages, Turkish Misplaced Pages, Chinese Misplaced Pages) - One new wiki has been created: a Misplaced Pages in Tigre (
w:tig:) 
View all 35 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, there was a bug with updating a user's edit-count after making a rollback edit, which is now fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. Starting the week of January 13, we will begin rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints for all wiki projects. This change was previously available on testwiki and should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints may raise issues directly to the MediaWiki Interfaces Team in Phabricator if they arise.- Toolforge tool maintainers can now share their feedback on Toolforge UI, an initiative to provide a web platform that allows creating and managing Toolforge tools through a graphic interface, in addition to existing command-line workflows. This project aims to streamline active maintainers’ tasks, as well as make registration and deployment processes more accessible for new tool creators. The initiative is still at a very early stage, and the Cloud Services team is in the process of collecting feedback from the Toolforge community to help shape the solution to their needs. Read more and share your thoughts about Toolforge UI.
- For tool and library developers who use the OAuth system: The identity endpoint used for OAuth 1 and OAuth 2 returned a JSON object with an integer in its
subfield, which was incorrect (the field must always be a string). This has been fixed; the fix will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis on the week of January 13. - Many wikis currently use Cite CSS to render custom footnote markers in Parsoid output. Starting January 20 these rules will be disabled, but the developers ask you to not clean up your MediaWiki:Common.css until February 20 to avoid issues during the migration. Your wikis might experience some small changes to footnote markers in Visual Editor and when using experimental Parsoid read mode, but if there are changes these are expected to bring the rendering in line with the legacy parser output.
Meetings and events
- The next meeting in the series of Wikimedia Foundation Community Conversations with the Wikimedia Commons community will take place on January 15 at 8:00 UTC and at 16:00 UTC. The topic of this call is defining the priorities in tool investment for Commons. Contributors from all wikis, especially users who are maintaining tools for Commons, are welcome to attend.

Block evasion
Hi! On 23 December you blocked 2605:8D80:681:0:0:0:0:0/48 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) for one month. I want to let you know that today an editor on 2605:8D80:684:A125:31BC:E7BB:362A:A022 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) started making similar edits on the same articles as the blocked editor. Based on the similarity of their edits and the close match to the blocked IPv6 range, I am sure that this is block evasion by the same editor. CodeTalker (talk) 21:14, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Tony Abbott
Back in 2014 you applied 1RR to the article due to edit warring that was occurring at the time. Abbott has been out of politics for a while now and I don't think the restriction is needed anymore. TarnishedPath 02:59, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
