:Not sure why your [[talk page]] is semi-protected. In any case, the namespace editor was something included in MW1.6-wikidata which never made it into the main code (which currently would be MW1.9-alpha). There is a [[mw:Extension:Simple namespaces|kludge version]] which operates as a [[Special:Interwiki]]-lookalike extension, editing a namespace list. The original was somewhat more ambitious in scope. --[[User:Carlb|Carlb]] 13:22, 15 December 2006 (EST)

::::It's definitely possible that somebody's computer is running a bot without their knowledge, or that a network with a shared IP has just one compromised computer in it. But in this case, the owners of said computer/network are at least partly responsible.

:::::I have made a [[Zwuilbly|list of my blocked IPs]] (maybe I should expand it to all blocked IPs), it will possibly better to collect our knoledge there (would do you think about a "[[WikiProject:Junking bots]]"?). I think, we should make it visible to our anonymous users that some IPs are blocked. We should further more rethink the blocking depth: allow starting an account or not and the blocking duration. If we work seriously on this, I would say, we can keep wikiindex rather clean. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:19, 6 October 2007 (EDT)
