1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,036 OK, so I'm User:Mike.lifeguard, and I do a lot of work on the spam blacklist 2 00:00:09,037 --> 00:00:13,575 So, one of our problems is we don't have a lot of people 3 00:00:13,576 --> 00:00:21,152 So I'm going to make a series of screencasts that should hopefully help new users who want to contribute to this area 4 00:00:21,153 --> 00:00:28,224 I'm really sick right now (I actually lost my voice entirely earlier today), so if I sound kinda funny, sorry for that. 5 00:00:29,749 --> 00:00:33,069 So this is the main talk page, Talk:Spam blacklist 6 00:00:33,069 --> 00:00:39,003 And there's instructions at the top for people who want to file 7 00:00:41,143 --> 00:00:43,210 reports for proposed additions, there's proposed removals as well 8 00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:54,405 (those are usually longer-running, because it does require a lot more attention and investigation) 9 00:00:54,405 --> 00:00:57,905 and there's some other sections down here that we'll cover later 10 00:00:57,905 --> 00:01:01,243 But today I want to cover the bot-reported proposed additions 11 00:01:01,243 --> 00:01:06,095 We used to have 2 bots, now we only have COIBot 12 00:01:09,859 --> 00:01:16,410 the page is actually transcluded, so I'm just going to load up the actual page 13 00:01:17,776 --> 00:01:20,138 So you can see that this is a sortable table 14 00:01:22,146 --> 00:01:24,387 So you can sort by name (which is already is) 15 00:01:24,387 --> 00:01:30,397 You can sort by who last updated it (the last update's here, and then by who) 16 00:01:30,397 --> 00:01:34,933 So you can see here that Beetstra (he's actually the botop for COIBot) 17 00:01:34,933 --> 00:01:39,274 was the last person who updated that report 18 00:01:39,274 --> 00:01:41,047 so he must have left some kind of comment. 19 00:01:41,047 --> 00:01:47,191 And the nice thing about this is that you can transclude using AJAX 20 00:01:47,191 --> 00:01:52,822 So, you just hit [show], and it shows you the report... 21 00:01:52,822 --> 00:01:59,614 and you can go down here and see that Beetstra just linked this report to another one. 22 00:02:00,512 --> 00:02:01,056 And then we can hide that again. 23 00:02:03,047 --> 00:02:07,244 One of the more useful things to sort by is the number of links 24 00:02:07,244 --> 00:02:14,714 You can see here, 59 is pretty high, so let's go into that report... 25 00:02:16,794 --> 00:02:22,425 And there's a lot of information here, as you can see 26 00:02:22,425 --> 00:02:29,903 this is a fairly standard size for reports 27 00:02:29,903 --> 00:02:36,450 There's a few sections: Links, Users, the rules (we won't cover that yet) 28 00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:48,895 additions (we will definitely be looking at that - that's actually the data of every edit where this link was placed in one of our wikis 29 00:02:50,471 --> 00:02:54,671 the entry we won't worry about yet, and then discussion is where you can leave comments
