The HTTP 500 error seems to be happening when trying to edit large-ish articles. [[Template:Wiki status]] is one which refuses to save even the smallest error and gives the HTTP 500.

Calbe is globally blocked on Miraheze for vandalism and should be banned here too. Please refrain from promoting users to administrators, unless they have a long history of good faith contributions to WikiIndex. Best regards. | |||

== Bot account == | |||
Hello Mark. I would like to help here again in WikiIndex after a long wikibreak. I am trying to recover the password for Emijrpbot but there is no reset password option. I don't remember if I set an e-mail back then. I would prefer to keep that bot account, can you reset the password? If that is not possible, I will register a new one. You can check my recent edits[https://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Cornish_Wiktionary&curid=20173&diff=287359&oldid=247182], I want to start updating the size of wikis. Thanks for your time.

== We are targets == | |||
Hi Mark, we became a target for someone. I'm unsure if they are funny, as in ha-ha or the nut factory. It does not really matter in the end. For now I added more blockers to [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]] which is probably best to have a community discussion about. Apart from that I'd like you to do me the favor of renaming the following users for obvious reasons: | |||
* I bet that agent Karsten Hoffmeyer is going to ask his KSA superiors to perma-DDoS this wiki within less than a year, which is typical KSA behavior. | |||
* Karsten's KSA spam-acounts serve to harass the wiki-owner into infecting this wiki with mandatory javascript, thus destroying privacy rights herein. | |||
* Yo, Mark Dilley- Kghbln Karsten Hoffmeyer is a KSA intelligence agent who is behind this spam-acount harassment. | |||
