== Appreciate your effort here! ==

 

Many thanks!  Do you have a first name to go by, i.e. [[Hoof Hearted]] is Sean?  I am a big advocate of [[Real Names]] but not forcing them, just asking :-)  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

== Subst vs transcluded templates ==

 

: Hi. What if the templates like [[Template:HoofHearted]] is spammed? Is there any way to protect is so that only [[Sean]] could edit it? --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small>  18:00, 4 May 2013 (PDT)

It could be protected just for [[sysops]] - consider this course of action. Doing the easiest next step. In this case, seeing if it becomes a spam target. My guess is that we won't have to worry about it.  Also, I don't think the timestamp can be transcluded, which is a problem for some folks. I am ok with no action or shared action on this. :-)  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

: It can be substituted, but not transcluded. See [[Template:YiFei]] --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small>  05:39, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Arabic interface

 

Thanx for Arabic interface. It is a pleasure

contribute with it.Regards.[[User:Brahfous|Brahfous]] ([[User talk:Brahfous|talk]]) 13:00, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

 

 

I tried it and it helps me a lot, but a lot of the navigation buttons are not translated into Arabic. They are all  in English except for the Toolbox which is entirely in Arabic.

Best.

== Buttons don't link to translated pages.Changes reverted. ==

 

Hi.Thank you for removing the protection and pages 'Home' and 'Add a wiki'. But not refer directly to pages translated in arabic .

 

 

 

== To change all the mw-panel of my Wikiindex into arabic ==

The rest of the buttons are already translated into Arabic

 

With  my gratitude.

== To complete translating and linking arabic equivalent ==

 

 

Thanks for making changes to the lateral panel of WikiIndex.  

 

All is in Arabic except for ‘page information’ .  

How to link these buttons directly to pages translated into Arabic and not to those in English , especially [[WikiIndex:إضافة_ويكي]] (Add a Wiki).

 

I noticed the “other languages:ar “ link at the bottom of the page but not everyone may notice it.  

 

Gratefulnesses.

Hi YiFei, I don't know if you are aware that spammers seem to be getting through and editing articles?  I've noticed two separate occurances today (Monday 21 May).  If you check the edit histories of [[Wiki]] and [[Talk:WikiEngineTree]], you can get an idea of their latest methods of spamming.  Hope you will be able to update any of your abuse filter settings to counter them.

: Like the prevent x links from being added with nothing more. Agree, not sure how to stop the other type of spam. To both of you, rockin!! ~~ [[MarkDilley]]

:: Hope [[Special:AbuseFilter/32]] will do --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 10:39, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

:::Filter 32 looks great, although I tweaked the grammar slightly, I hope that is ok (please revert if you wish).  You've done awesome work with all the abuse filters, and I think they are a massive improvement, so a huge thanks :))

:::Just thinking out loud, could another filter be created (for new users only) which prevents new articles being created (and maybe existing articles editied) which don't include one of our main templates (the obvious being [[template:Wiki]] - but another could be [[template:NotAWiki]]), or one of our existing categories?  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • _{[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]} • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 22:23, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

 

::::And for "new articles with no main templates or categories"(?), could the filter only tag an edit or even just log the edit? IMO such edit might actually be useful. And what about wiki people and ideas? They usually don't have such main templates. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 03:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

 

:::::I bow to your knowledge with the filters - you know far more about them than I do :)))).  For wiki people - can you restrict a filter to work in a specic namespace?  Maybe create one filter with one set of rules for our main namespace which needs either a template and/or a category, and a different filter for User: and User talk: namespaces with say differing rules - how about limiting it to five urls, and the url must contain the word <tt>wiki</tt> - afterall, most wiki people like to list any other wikis they edit.  As for wiki ideas - good question . . . maybe we just have to accept that only autoconfirmed users can create such articles.  Would any of those suggestions work?  Best  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • _{[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]} • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 15:58, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

::::::# New users (< 5 edits) and anons have to put either a template and/or a category to their new article, or else they will be given a warning (and nothing else?). There's no good way to automatically detect whether a template or category exists afaik.

I see work coming for Your diligent BOT: [[User_talk:Hoof_Hearted#WikiIndex:Add_a_Wiki]]

Therefore I suggested fist to change the function and then to clean up (insert all missing lines) with the bot (one time).

And, since the 'inactive' discussion remains endless, those Pages would have to be excluded from the run. Possibly there need to be several runs first in order to mark the pages which should be changed, to find out, which is a Wiki page and which not. There may be several pages which do not even have a trace of that template on them but are still (embryonic) Wiki pages.

From that perspective this first run can be tried before the function is repaired. How to find Wiki pages that do not contain the Wiki template at all?  [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 11:10, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

== Account creation/confirmation ==

It looks like a new account needs to be confirmed before one can log in.  How often do the admins check for new accounts and confirm them?

 

For new users it looks like they have to wait for the confirmation email which they have to use to activate the account.

 

and when the confirmation email is not coming, I think many would give up or forget about it. M.

:::Sorry. Perhaps I should have worded my request better. I didn't mean to request a full block of Llwy-ar-lawr, but rather I wanted to request that she be barred from editing any topics pertaining to [[Uncyclopedia]] or [[Darthipedia]] on this wiki. This isn't so much a user problem (two users raising issues against each other) as it is a severe bias problem (one user raising issues against two communities on this wiki) that compromises the integrity and facts presented in the edits of myself and others. It's not my intention to bring wiki-drama or warring to WikiIndex, but to clarify what I mean: Llwy-ar-lawr is a former administrator on Uncyclopedia who has since been banned for reasons I'm not familiar with, and in recent weeks, she's taken to reverting any edits to articles relating to said wiki and inserting her own bias against the community to paint the wiki and its members in an ugly light, while simultaneously promoting her own wiki(s) in the process. Elsewhere, Llwy was apparently banned from another wiki called Darthipedia for vandalism and sockpuppeteering under the name Snarglefoop, and now she's [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Talk:Brony_Denza&oldid=185383 trying to have articles related to the topic deleted] because it's a "backwater troll wiki" in her view. When I spoke to her on IRC about this, I was told she would create one or two sockpuppet accounts on WikiIndex in the event she were to be banned, and any future edits would be reverted by her "army", and then she proceeded to spam me with an image of a mauled vagina. Regardless of whether or not you see it fit to ban her or her other accounts, what I'm requesting is that her edits be restricted to articles related to topics ''other than'' Uncyclopedia (and possibly even Darthipedia) as a means of countering these issues. Alternatively, I would also suggest protecting these articles from being edited by basic users. Having said that, I do understand that you don't typically process such requests, so if you're unable or unwilling, who would be the best administrator to get in contact with concerning this issue?

I wasn't trying to create policy.

I saw Your changing of the block another admin executed.

The term autoblock was unknown to me and not mentioned in our help section.

Therefore I was simply trying to clarify what it means and how it works.

If I would be inclined to add policy, this would have to be the next logical step anyway.

One should not even try to blow up policy without proper understanding of the matter concerned.

On the other hand, Your remark in the edit summary suggested to me that You are trying to establish policy:
