Hi Mark, and Happy New Year to you. :) | Hi Mark, and Happy New Year to you. :) | ||
I've just noticed that [[Special:Replace Text]] appears to have vanished from [[Special:Version|our installation]]. I'm guessing this happened during the MW software upgrade last year. Checking on the [[mw:Extension:Replace Text|MediaWiki.org page]], it states that the Extension:Replace Text can be added as either a stand-alone add-on, or is available within the [[mw:Semantic Bundle|Semantic Bundle]] (which we do have - Version 1.8.0.4). Can you please re-instate this? | I've just noticed that [[Special:Replace Text]] appears to have vanished from [[Special:Version|our installation]].

And can I also make an additional request regarding our [[Special:ListGroupRights|user group rights]]. I noticed we now have a new group called ''''autoconfirmed users'''' – can I propose two new custom user groups; the first called ''''autopatrolled users'''', where members will "Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled". At the moment, this right is only granted to [[sysop]]s. I suggest that 'autopatrolled users' be granted to existing trusted members of WikiIndex who are not sysops. The second new user group could be called 'spam fighter', and this group would again be for trusted users who have an interest in helping managing spam (such as [[YiFei]]). The rights of the 'spam fighter' group would include global access to the abuse filters, such as <tt>(abusefilter-modify)</tt>, <tt>(abusefilter-modify-restricted)</tt>, <tt>(abusefilter-revert)</tt> and <tt>(abusefilter-private)</tt>. | And can I also make an additional request regarding our [[Special:ListGroupRights|user group rights]].

:I hope I can [[wp:WP:AGF]] about what you are trying to do here. Of course, {{support}} autopatrolled. But "spam fighter" => weird name imo. Also fighting spams should include delete and block rights (such as for [[User:ABIDEEN0]]). --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 14:00, 2 January 2014 (UTC) | :I hope I can [[wp:WP:AGF]] about what you are trying to do here.

::[[YiFei]] - I absolutely and categorically do and will [[AssumeGoodFaith]], to you and all our other constructive editors. And I'm genuinely sorry that we have 'crossed swords' recently. I enjoy your energy, and on the whole value your contributions here. :-))))))) Oh, and a very Happy New Year to you! <hugs> | |||
::Re ''''spam fighter'''' - that name is purely a suggestion - what don't you like about it? Can you think of a better name, which is still clear enough to other WikiIndex users, ''and'' visitors - which retains the ethos of what I'm trying to propose? Re the delete and block - does the Abuse filters not already do that? Or can they be configured to do that? I don't really understand much about them! :-( | |||
