Request for semi-protection for User talk:郊外生活

Please semi-protect User talk:郊外生活 due to vandalism by Sidowpknbihihj (w:ja:LTA:HEATHROW) socks. My user talk page was semi-protected in April, but recently LTA started to post abusive language here on meta and almost all edits are vandalism or revert. This type of vandalism can be seen at enwiki, commons and wikidata, and my user talk pages are semi-protected on these projects. To deal with cross-wiki abuse, I guess my user talk page needs to be semi-protected temporary. 郊外生活Kogaiseikatsu (talk,contribs) 19:30, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

MassMessage sender

Hi. I'd like to request Meta:MassMessage sender permission because I am a membership admin for wikiproject med foundation and we have a lot of users who are on pending membership status so that I want to send them mass massage to ask them whether they want to still be members so that they should fill membership form or of they are no longer interested so that I remove their names. I need to do this mission on a regular basis for wikiproject med foundation so that this user access is important for me. I had this access before and have been adherent to the policy and guidelines.

MassMessage sender request

Hello. As organizer and leader of an affiliate (WikiDonne), I often need to send mass comunications to the members related to discussions, translations, events. Reason for which I'm asking for the mass sender flag. Thank you. Camelia (talk) 11:58, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

@Camelia.boban can you point to a mass message target list that you intent to use? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

@Xaosflux I didn't know how it works. So I need to create the lists first (I saw here, a model I can take inspiration from). As I have one for members, one for Commons & Wiki Loves Folklore Italy participants/jury, one for our itWikipedia members, for itWikiquote, for itWikibooks. --Camelia (talk) 15:55, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

@Camelia.boban mass messaging can be disruptive if done wrong, so at the least we are looking to ensure those who may use it have a good understanding of both the mechanics and appropriate use. Will keep this on hold for now; please reply when you have a sample list made. You should be able to justify how destination targets got on your list as well (if they are not self-enrolled). Additionally, there are special considerations when sending to targets on other projects, such as how links and templates must be used for global delivery. Have you reviewed and understand the process for that? — xaosflux ^Talk 16:39, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

•  On hold pending responses above. — xaosflux ^Talk 16:39, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

@Xaosflux Here are the lists. I finally kept only the UG participants list (all signed voluntarily as participants) and users engaged in Wiki Loves Folklore Italy (WikiDonne board, jury and participants in the winners/finalists from the 3 editions of our contest). --Camelia (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

@Xaosflux Any updates on this? --Camelia (talk) 20:01, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

(I'm online but haven't gotten to review this ye; note to other admins, no concerns if anyone else wants to process this — xaosflux ^Talk 20:28, 8 December 2022 (UTC))

@Camelia.boban Do you have a sample message for this and I am a little concerned about you sending to commons via meta interface, per here, although the one opposing the previous request is WMF banned for now. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:35, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage You can find an example of message here. --Camelia (talk) 23:44, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

@Camelia.boban LGTM but I am still worried about commons objections, is it possible for you to send to only meta pages (i.e. skipping commons or asking commons admin at commons:COM:AN to send the MMS). Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage Ok, thank you. --Camelia (talk) 08:49, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I need help

In the Greek Wikipedia there is a user who appears only with i. p. to cause tensions and discord in the community while he's after me every day.

It changes daily, dozens of i. p. and it is impossible for the administrators to block it. Can you help?

For example: https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ειδικό:Συνεισφορές/193.19.204.230

https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ειδικό:Συνεισφορές/193.19.204.215

@ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη based on the four IPs you provided your sysops might want to block these IP ranges [2][3]. If there are more IPs, the IP ranges might be larger (or there might be additional IP ranges that should be blocked).

You can use tools such as this one [4] to calculate an IP range.

You could also ask the elwiki sysops to create an abuse filter based on the IP ranges if there is a reoccurring editing scheme. Johannnes89 (talk) 10:56, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Previous discussion: Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat/Archives/2021-10#Edit request for MediaWiki:Centralnotice-template-POTY 2020 R2

Please delete the <i> tag in

<i>{{{fin-text}}}</i>

Because text in non-Latin scripts (such as Greek, Cyrillic or Chinese) should not be italicized. See en:MOS:BADITALICS.

P.S. I wish there were a better way to do this, where Latin scripts can happily use their italics, and Chinese etc. can be displayed in plain text. I tried adding a </i> tag in the Chinese translation, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? --魔琴 (talk) 08:43, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Request for MassMessage sender

Hello. I am a member of the COT for Wikimania 2023 and I would like to contact people via massmessage who have volunteered for Wikimania 2023 either here or there. Technically I would be able to do this on Wikimania wiki, but I think it might be better to contact them in their home wikis. This would require me to send the messages from Meta. I would just need this user right temporary until 20 August 2023. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 10:05, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Sockpuppet vandalism of Luvpug80102523. --113.253.234.72 05:43, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

This appears to be vandalism that is not related to metawiki (and should better be posted on zhwiki or at SRG or SRCU so that the stewards can act on it). I'll give a courtesy ping to LuciferianThomas, as they're commonly involved in handling LTAs and socking on zhwiki. I don't think there's a lot further to do here, so I'll close the request.

Request for Autopattrollers right on Meta-Wiki

Hi, I would like to request for Autopattrollers right on here and it's already one month and also I understand Meta policies and guidelines, also I'm an active user on here, thanks. YIEWI talk 14:00, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@YIEWI: Hello and thanks for your contributions on meta-wiki. The autopatrol permission it's created primarily to facilitate the work of patrollers (who verifying recent changes). There's no need imho to request it for yourself since there are no page protections "only for autopatrolled" on meta-wiki and no abuse filter has ever prevented you from taking action because you aren't an AP user. When the administrators believe that you have gained enough experience and understanding of the policies, it will be assigned without problem, but there is absolutely no reason to rush. You have already requested permission less than 20 days ago, but AP isn't a permission that allows you to have additional rights or particular tools and also the fact that you asked also on a wrong page and here suggests that you're in too much hurry imho and you still need to gain some experience. The AP right isn't even a sort of "medal" that differentiates between reliable users or not. So, my advice is to be patient and you will soon get flagged. For now, I'm sorry but I'm marking the request as Not done. Please don't be discouraged by all these rejected requests but continue to edit correctly and gain experience calmly. Thanks for your attention. --Superpes15 (talk) 23:24, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

  @Xaosflux Extremely Sorry for the late reply and not maintaining the etiquette of the page. Actually, I was confused where to apply for that rights. I want to send messages to the members of Project Korikath to notify them about different events of the projects. As our project is growing rapidly, doing this manually is going to be challenge for me. The layout is

  == Invitation for joining photowalk. == *:Dear "Project Korikath" member, Thanks for being with the initiative. We appreciate your work towards the wikimedia movement. You are doing really great!! I want to invite you to the next Project Korikath photowalk that is going to take place in "place", we'll start at 00:00 am. Please sign your name in the [[photowalk page]]. Remember, you can always use <syntaxhighlight lang="html">{{Template:User Korikath}}</syntaxhighlight> in your user page, if you want to let people know that you are working for "[[m::Project Korikath| Project Korikath]]".--~~~~ Wasiul Bahar (talk) 19:59, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

I feel I arrive after the train. Is this issue solved ? Or not yet ? I am not really aware of the process to follow I must say. I sometimes do it because people just ask me... Anthere (talk) 14:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Still open apparently.@Anthere Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Wasiul Bahar:.

I first invite you to read this, which I wrote to document the mass messaging for Wiki Loves Africa participants. That might help you to better understand. Only admins on a project can send the message for you, but you need to do a bit of homework on your side.
In short, When you need to have a mass message sent, what you need to do is

1. establish a list of participants you want to send the message to. There is a special formatting to respect. See Wiki Loves Africa/Recipients as an example (this is a tiny list I actually never use... but it will give you the idea). You can name the page the way you want, but host the page on the wiki you plan to use.
2. establish the message you want to send. It can either be directly written as you did above, or BETTER, prepared on a wiki page. This is an example : Wiki Loves Africa/mass message 1 in 2021. If you need to send several messages over the time, just update your message page and that’s it. Name the page the way you want, but host it on the wiki where you plan to send the message.
3. Then communicate to the admin (meta admin if message is to be send on meta. Commons Admin if the message is to be send on Commons etc.) : the link to the recipient and the link to the message page.

LAST thing... number of recipiendaries... I look at Korikath project to find a list of recipients. I only found the team page [10]. Mass message is called mass because it is to be send to more than a dozen of people. Think of the time you will spend asking help and of the time for the admin... if all could be done quickly by hand by you... do not use mass message. If you need to post the message to 50 people then mass message is good. If you need to post the message to 10 people...please do it manually.

I hope I was clear. If not, ask me to rephrase

When you need help on commons or meta to send that message, you can ask me directly on my talk page if you like :)

Cheers Anthere (talk) 17:22, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@Wasiul Bahar Did you get what @Anthere said above? Feel free to ask any questions if needed. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:37, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
