:In [[Form:Wiki]] source it says that we can type no to tell the [[Template:Wiki]] that there aren't any node in the wiki. But every time I used the form, it didn't accept no. I thought the type string would accept it, so I made the edit. --[[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] ([[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]) 18:10, 30 March 2013 (PDT)
== Spam fighting / user name space == 
Hi - thanks for flagging up all them spam edits. If you see another flood like this, and don't see any sysops deleting it, message any of us which are online to deal with it.

== Redirects == 
Hi again. Can you please refrain from creating hard redirects to non-WikiIndex articles? That means no redirects to other sites such as Wikimedia, Uncyclomedia or Wikia wikis, etc. Redirects should only be used for existing articles or categories here on WikiIndex. If there is a real need to link to offsite wikis, we specifically use the [[InterWiki]] table.

== Logos ==
Hi - great work with your logo hunting. Can I please ask that you don't change an internal [[wikilink]] to an external url hotlink if the logos are identical - as you did with [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Category:Wikipedia&diff=prev&oldid=167529 this edit] [[:Category:Wikipedia|here]]. Also, feel free to [[Special:Upload|upload]] any new or updated logos if you are able to (I often hotlink when there is no existing logo because I'm too lazy sometimmes to upload! - but we really ought to upload every logo).
::Thanks for the link on the evolution of the Wikipedia logo. I now understand why you've been changing them. Maybe we can still keep the old logo by floating a thumbnail on the left side of the article - as per [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Wikipedia&diff=168304&oldid=165367 this template edit].

== Subst vs transcluded templates == 
Hi [[YiFei]], couple of points. 1) we are no where any size that [[Wikipedia]] is and so from a technological and spam point of view, I don't think it is an issue there. 2) My main point is to have the wiki look as clean as it can, and yes, that is especially at an editing the page level. I think that date stamps and all the other colors, formatting in signatures is problematic - to me it is noise and adds no value to the wiki. Yes you are talking to a pre-Wikipedia person :-) So, I was playing with the idea of [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Category_talk%3AActive_administrators_of_this_wiki&diff=168555&oldid=168554 moving all the "stuff"] into signatures to clean up the wiki. Best, [[MarkDilley]]
: 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 [[sysopssysop]] s - 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)
I'm not sure why you are both trying to re-invent the wheel? The default MediaWiki signature generator is the most secure method of generating a signature - and it is how all other MediaWiki installations do it. And I'm also not sure why there is seemingly apparent denial of the very real spam problem from Mark! Finally, I really don't get why Mark is trying to 'clean up the wiki' - signatures with timestamps is the way MediaWiki works - and that is exactly how the millions of existing MediaWiki users will be familiar with. Mark, if you really don't like how MediaWiki works, then maybe it is time to either shut down WikiIndex, or move it back to a more prehistoric wiki engine. A lot of effort is being wasted here .... maybe time for me to check-out - just like the many other valuable past contributors to this site! ://// [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 03:42, 5 May 2013 (PDT)

== Talk page policy == 
I noticed you've moved my replies in the past, and while I mostly thought it strange, I'm afraid I must ask you to please not do so in the future for a few reasons:
* This is not Wikipedia. The link you provided is helpful, but those rules are not necessarily applicable everywhere.
In short, please do not remove replies from my talk pages or others in the name of your interpretation of how they should be used from now on, at least not without consulting Mark Dilley first. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 08:03, 12 June 2013 (PDT)Arcane
== Admin Things things== 
About your request to be one of the Sysops, that I have to place in the hands of Mark as this is something that I don't feel I have the right to do without his permission. I would suggest contacting him off Wiki and talking to him about this. [[User:TeraS|TeraS]] ([[User talk:TeraS|talk]]) 13:18, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
: Ok. But I'm not sure he'll reply right now. I've already sent him some e-mails, including this request today. But the last one, about a typo in [[Template:Vandal]] and protecting [[Category talk:Wiki Topic]], he hasn't replied to me yet, and neither fixed them --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 13:46, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi [[YiFei]], see your [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sitenotice&diff=next&oldid=170693 edit summaries] and think you are frustrated - I hope not. Look forward to the abuse filter bot - looks very helpful! Best, [[MarkDilley]]
: Oh. Sorry. I just find that I have to notify every sysop if I'm not. First, Sean, then, you, then Arcane. Just getting tired of that. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 14:59, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

== On blocking no edit users == 
Myself and the rest of the administration have been blocking no edit users like the example you brought up because, typically, most of those accounts have either matched patterns of spammers as seen on other wikis (some of whom have used these accounts as sleepers), and because most vandals and spambots make throwaway accounts with nonsense strings of information and typically tend to make many accounts in a short amount of time, either as part of their programming or as sleeper sockpuppets.
If you feel this policy should be changed, I suggest expressing your concerns to MarkDilley. Me personally, I have noticed how effective the Abuse filter has been, so you make a very good point for your opposition to the current policy, but by the same token, spammers and vandals can always switch tactics to get around it, and given the huge amounts of spam and vandalism we've had to fight, we tend to err on the side of caution.
Regardless, thanks for letting me know how you feel about banning no edit users. --[[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 19:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)Arcane == new for me ==

I've noticed a few strange templates appearing - particularly dealing with page count and [[wikiFactor]] on a few differing multilingual articles, such as [[WikiMANNia]], [[Psiram]] and no doubt a few others.

Finally, please use edit summaries which we can all understand.

== List of harassing open proxies == 
[http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User:Abd/Sandbox&oldid=175900] is a list of the IPs involved in the recent harassment or editing of related pages. In particular, it appears that every one of the IPs involved -- with two exceptions listed at the bottom -- is likely an open proxy or TOR node. I show entries from the meta.wikipedia global block log for some, WikiMedia Foundation stewards generally indef hard-block identified open proxy ranges, then deal with possible interference with legitimate editors by suggesting IP block exemption.
I have only handled local admin tasks on a WMF wiki, and only very rarely used range blocks. So this was a new kind of investigation for me. I apologize for any inconvenience, I hope we can persuade Leucosticte to be less provocative.

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.

: Bureaucrat can change a user's user groups, but not [[Special:ListGroupRights|user group rights]]. They are stored in LocalSettings.php, a configuration file in the backend. To change the file requires "upgrade" (a way of saying backend changes). Oversighter is a wikimedia user group that hides information, but its name doesn't have to be "oversighter".

:::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 [[vandal]]ism and sockpuppeteering [[sockpuppet]]eering 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?

:That sequence was unfortunate. Hoof Hearted has not edited WikiIndex since then (September 22). Manorainjan is a difficult user, and my sense is that Hoof Hearted's fuses blew. Difficult users push the edges of administrators, and it is too much for some. I'd hope HH comes back. Maybe those who know him can encourage that. Everyone makes mistakes, and especially admins can make mistakes dealing with difficult users. That's why we need community. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 22:40, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

::You whitelisted. However, I could not find the active blacklist entry. The WikiIndex blacklist was adopted from the Wikipedia blacklist, which can be ragged. The global blacklist likewise; it is, however, more thorough, and items are generally removed from the Wikipedia list when they are globally blacklisted. We have a very short local blacklist on en.wikiversity. Ideally, the message users receive when they attempt to add a blacklisted entry should explain clearly what to do if one has a legitimate purpose. Mostly, it's arcane and obscure, I've studied what happens with a major web site that was blacklisted. Most users just give up. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 15:25, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== Engine Wikia to be set by scriptautoblock? ==Please review this: [[WikiIndex:Blocking and banning policy#Autoblock]]. Is it consistent with our local functionality? Maybe You can extend it by some hints on how to use or better not use it. [[User talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 04:30, 6 June 2015 (PDT):AFAIK all MediaWiki systems has the same kind of autoblock (automatic block of an [[IP address]]). And as for when to use it, use common sense when no such policy exist. I don't like policy-ize every single parameter to an action. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 05:34, 6 June 2015 (PDT)
There seem I wasn't trying to be a good number create policy. I saw Your changing of wiki pages where the Engine is named a MediaWiki but should be Wikiablock another admin executed.The term autoblock was unknown to me and not mentioned in our help section. Therefore I assume was simply trying to clarify what it means and how it works. If I would be rather simple inclined to make a script 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 tests on You are trying to establish policy:"turn[ed] off autoblock -- I don't see the Wiki URL reason to prevent the user (not the hacker) from editing"Whereas I would not know how to safely distinguish between hacker and sets Wikia user.'''Regarding common sense''', I regard that expression as Engine when the URL contains Wikiaa misnomer, because those sense is not at all common. ;-) [[User talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 06:20, 6 June 2015 (PDT):I'm not sure what's happening here.--[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 09:55, 6 June 2015 (PDT)

What do You think==Weird magic words and redlinks=='''See [http://wikiindex.org/index.php? title=Welcome&diff=0&oldid=190081 here]''' For some reason, ''sometimes'' the [[Main Page]] renders "Welcome, <nowiki>{{CURRENTUSER}}</nowiki>" (with CURRENTUSER in red) and sometimes not. Both with your preferred edit and the one I made. Both logged in and not. So weird. Plus, several links on the front page are mysteriously red even though they definitely lead to pages. Anyway, I don't think that your edit was a problem, as it happened after I reverted as well. [[User:ManorainjanKoavf|ManorainjanKoavf]] ([[User talk:ManorainjanKoavf|talk]]) 2019:4643, 25 February 21 June 2015 (UTCPDT):ThatI have no idea what is going on with those magic words, as I don't have access to the backend. Besides, the <nowiki>{{CURRENTUSER}}</nowiki> in red link happens to me, but rarely, so it's what hard for me to do some debugs and find the error. Maybe [[User:LeucosticteBotJason|Jason]] used , [[User:BrandonCsSanders|BrandonCsSanders]] and [[Ray King]] know? --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 19:57, 21 June 2015 (PDT)::'''Tech support''' I considered saying something to one of them (does Jason work on the backend of the site) but it didn't seem that important. I don't know if you're interested but Manorainjan is talking to me on my talk page on an admin-related issue which is actually of some consequence to you. I deleted a blank userpage in part because of your actions in the past of deleting them (I don't have any strong feelings on it but if you're going to doit anyway, it seems non-controversial for me to do it). I don't know if you want to weigh in but I figured I'd mention it since we're talking anyway. Thanks.

However, I don't think [[:Category:AccountUsedNot]] has any value at all. Whether an account is used or not can be determined by checking contribs, logs, and deleted contribs at any time. And as for those structure categories, maybe I would go with the wikimedia method of using category redirects. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 20:19, 21 June 2015 (PDT):::I can only say that main page problem is something related to parser cache. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 21:4023, 26 February 21 June 2015 (UTCPDT)
