Implement my suggestion to filter 384

In addition to opting out dewiki, could you implement my update to the repeating characters filter? I opted out some wikis that have their own filters, including the English Wikivoyage, and have done some optimizations:

equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 1, 4, 5, 1198) &
!("autoconfirmed" in user_rights) &
( 
    characters := "[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz]{6,}";
    consonants := "([^_:.,*'|=#}{0 -]{1,9})\1{7}";
    match := characters + "|" + consonants;
    
    (
        (
            added_lines rlike characters &
            !(removed_lines rlike characters)
        ) | (
            rmwhitespace(added_lines) rlike consonants &
            !(rmwhitespace(removed_lines) rlike consonants)
        )
    ) &
    !(added_lines rlike ("<\s*(?:code|source|syntaxhighlight)|(?:data\s*:|https?:\/\/)\S*?(?:" + match + ")")) &
    !(rcount("(?:^|\n)[!|]|<br>", added_lines) > rcount("(?:^|\n)[!|]|<br>", removed_lines)) &
    !(equals_to_any(wiki_name, "cawiki", "ckbwiki", "cswiki", "dewiki", "enwikibooks", "enwikivoyage", "eswiki", "etwiki", "fawiki", "fawikivoyage", "frwiki", "frwikibooks", "frwikiquote", "frwikiversity", "glwiki", "itwiki", "nlwiki", "simplewiki", "wikidatawiki"))
) &

Speedy deletion requirement

SHB2000, Hello, I happy to see you with sysop privileges at metawiki but I here to telling you something Today I nominated two page as spam on metawiki but in present time they are not deleted by any sysop please see my today's contributions and you're contributions are Valuable for us.Happy editing! --- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 13:58, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

If you're talking about User:Obiorabesttoll and Salman Farsi, I think they were eventually deleted? Is that what you meant? --SHB (t • c) 21:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, that is what I meant and was asking for these two articles to be removed, which were later deleted by Xaosflux then you replied to me.Happy editing! --- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 05:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Ah, righto – yeah Meta admins aren't nearly as active as say enwiki or Commons, so it might take some time for CSD-related deletion requests to be processed. --SHB (t • c) 07:16, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for you're reply but I have few concern releated to global rollback, I think to nominate self for global rollback to easy to remove vandalism on multiple wikis in minutes via SWViewer and I have rollback on multiple wikis, can you give me you're opinion I'm eligible for global rollback? my previously username is Aviram7 I use SWViewer from 3 year when I got rollback permission on hiwiki wiki but after renaming my username I've restart reverting vandalism from O edits at SWViewer.Happy editing --- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 07:26, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Hmm I'd probably say neutral for now – purely due to your edit matrix being the way it is right now, but I reckon you can give it a shot once you've got a more extensive edit matrix tbh. --SHB (t • c) 07:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for reply but I thought you're means is crosswiki activity is not enough of mine for requesting global rollback,I have need to more reverts vandal and antispam from several wikis Via SWViewer for 1 months or more. Happy editing --- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 07:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I'd say there's no hard and fast rule, feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt – but do request GR when you feel you have a decent cross-wiki matrix and trust your judgment. :) --SHB (t • c) 07:53, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Hmmm;Thanks a lot for given you're important opinion of me as global sysop and global rollbacker.  :)--- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 07:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Request

Hi @SHB2000: just that your thought appeared at the top of my head, could you please delete all of the /2025/ redirects from Special:Contributions/RamzyM_(WMF) (AffCom health report). This is because the spaces need to be entirely clean for 2025 reports when submitted. /2025/ should not redirect to /2024/ as such it is a broken/implausible redirect. A more detailed reason is at here in myn response to Ramzy. _signed, Aafi (DCW) ^(talk) 08:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Done – I think I deleted all the /2025/ redirects, though I don't know if I missed any. --SHB (t • c) 09:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

all perfect. Thank you. _signed, Aafi (DCW) ^(talk) 14:55, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Wikimedia Forum

Thanks for the housekeeping at Wikimedia Forum. I'd shorten the protection, as I doubt most users are autoconfirmed here. e 10:13, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Most users who have a need to edit the page will be autoconfirmed. --SHB (t • c) 10:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Possibly. The barrier at Meta:Autoconfirmed users is fairly low and would have saved us some of the recent stuff.

I recall first wanting to comment on the steward request page to notice that this wasn't possible. I noticed since, that I could have used the talk page of that, but then responded at the user's page. e 10:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Most genuinely new users aren't gonna spend their first few edits editing pages like SRG or Wikimedia Forum (though it might not be the case for "new" users). Thus the chances of a user actually being hit by the protection is very low, and even then there are workarounds to it. --SHB (t • c) 11:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Special:Diff/25032458/28227718

Hi, I'm not endorsing the request or criticizing your revert, but just wanted to note that this looks like a legitimate unblock request (though written in Roman-transliterated Hindi) related to the poster's block by SM7 on Hindi Wikipedia (their use of {{unblock}} was obviously not correct). That said, it does seem that SM7 doesn't generally entertain messages related to other wikis here on his Meta talk page. Svārtava (tɕ) 05:56, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Oh whoops, my bad – I've reverted my edit. //shb (t • c) 06:55, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello!!!

I was wondering how many reverts you need for patroller? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 10:10, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

French: Je me demandais combien de reverts vous avez besoin pour patrouilleur ? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 10:10, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

I would say the answer is it depends and there is no hard and fast rule. What sysops do look out for is, though, is a clear history of reverts, autopatroller (which you already have), generally no active blocks and someone who knows what the scope of this project is. Having rollbacker on other projects will also strengthen your case. If you do feel you meet this criteria, feel free to request at WM:RFH (I'll leave it for another sysop since I gave you autopatroller). //shb (t • c) 10:30, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

@SHB2000 Okay!! Thanks Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 10:31, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Translation page

What do you think of this? User:Cactusisme/Simple Administrators Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 12:26, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't get involved with translations, sorry. //shb (t • c) 12:34, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Anyone you know who does? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 12:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

@Cactusisme, a translation admin here. if you are looking to learn how to be a translation administrator (TA), there are some stuff to follow. What you did was a start, but there is still some way to go. In addition to the Translate extension’s guidelines about marking a page for translation:, on Meta here as well there is also Meta:Internationalization guidelines.

In your work above, there are stuff that you don't need to do, i.e. putting that <!-- T1 --> tags as this will be generated automatically by the extension when a TA marks the page for translation. This is important as you do not want old translated strings to appear out of place. There are some other issues as well in your work, i.e. placement of <translate>, etc.

Here's the diff of a page that I recently tagged up which you can take as reference, and the next revision after all that work is what the extension does when I mark the page for translation. Robertsky (talk) 01:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thanks Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 02:52, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky I made some changes, can you take a look? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 03:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky also created User:Cactusisme/Simple English Wikipedia Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 04:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

How do you mark {{formatnum:{{NUMBEROF|articles|simple}}}} for translation Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 04:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Cactusisme again, please read the internationalisation guidelines. i have corrected some of the stuff there. also please make that for each paragraph or separate line item, the tvar names are unique. for formatnum, you can wrap it in a tvar. Robertsky (talk) 08:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

I see, okay Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 03:10, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky Do you think I got better with User:Cactusisme/Northern Sami Wikipedia? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 03:32, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Delete question - Extremaduran Wikipedia

Hello

This article, [1], refered to the country of Liechtenstein. But Lístestain was a free translation made by one of the first users of the wiki of the country's name to how it would sound in Extremaduran. Actually, in the published spelling rules of extremaduran languge, the name of the country is Liechtenstein ([2]) and the Lístestain form does not appear in any source, so I decided to delete the redirect Sa~eswiki (talk) 23:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

@Sa~eswiki: Perfect, I've gone ahead and deleted that redirect. //shb (t • c) 23:21, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

How can I demand to be an administrator in Ido Wiktionary?

Hi, global Sysop, how are you? My name is João Xavier Mendes, io:User:Joao Xavier, and one of the few administrators of Ido Wikipedia and a frequent collaborator in Ido Wiktionary. Til recently, we had a (sole but persistant and dedicated) administrator in Ido Wiktionary, but he's not collaborating anymore since a few months. We urgent need another administrator to perform tasks, i.e., block vandals, erase mistakenly written pages, and so on.

How and where can I demand to be an administrator for Ido Wiktionary? (forgive me if this text has grammatical errors, because English is not my native language).

Best regards from São Paulo, Brazil. Joao Xavier (talk) 12:07, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Joao Xavier, no need to apologise. First you'd need to post a request for sysop at a certain venue – usually a Requests for adminship page if you have one, or your community portal (such as w:io:Wikipedio:Portalo di la komunitato). After then you've just got to wait for a community response and after 7 days, you can make a request at SRP. Most likely you'll have to renew your sysop bit every so often given the size of iowiki, but that shouldn't pose too much of an issue so long as you remember to renew it before it expires. Hope that helps! //shb (t • c) 12:17, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
