Hi, I asked you not to do that; after that you did it again, so No for the time being.

I wish you'll find Wikimedia venues to which you can contribute - it's a large project with great communities!

RohithReddy1234 (talkcontribs)

Please, i didn't understood at that time. I will not make the same mistake again.

So please excuse me for this time.

I swear, I will not make the same mistake again.

Last time, I am a beginner.


Thanks & Regards

See my previous comment here: intentionally (!) posting unhelpful information after getting warned is not welcome, no. (Furthermore, you only recently started to comment on Phabricator, so I do not think it is an important venue for whatever usecases you have.)

RohithReddy1234 (talkcontribs)

Actually I am an Intern at the IndicWiki Project.

Our mentor said to join any of the Tasks and get familiar to the with Phabricator.

So that's why I tried it in that way. I thought that AI tools can also helpful in the troubleshooting the issues.

I got to know that AI tools are doing the waste of the time.

so please excuse me for this time I will not repeat I swear.

RohithReddy1234 (talkcontribs)

But, at that time it happened like that!!

I swear, I will not commit the same mistake.

Please understand everyone will learn from their mistakes. Now I do understand what the mistake I have committed please forgive me and help me with this.

I will not do the same mistake, I will obey and follow all the things guided by the experienced tutotrs/mentors.

Please help me unblock me.

Today at 7pm we are having meeting in zoom tutorials for Phabricator, I will not commit the mistake.

Please sir, please sir I won't do anything like this.

ToadetteEdit (talkcontribs)

When trying to access the Herald subpage, it displays an error: Access Denied: Restricted Application You do not have permission to view this object. Users with the "Can View" capability: This object has a custom policy controlling who can take this action.

What does it means and why am I somewhat restricted? What are the requirements?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, the application is restricted (not you) due to past vandalism when anyone could use it. If you think that you have a need to set up automated filter rules via Herald, please elaborate. Thanks a lot! See also Phabricator/Help/Herald Rules for more info.

Summary by Alexwlchan

I was able to regain access to my Phabricator account!

Alexwlchan (talkcontribs)

I’ve just tried to log in to Phabricator using my Wikimedia Commons account, and it wants me to verify an email address I don’t have:

You must verify your email address to log in. You should have a new email message with verification instructions in your inbox (mediawiki@alexwlchan.neta).

I think at some point in the past I must have typo'd the email address and not come back to it – how can I reset my email address so I can log in with a correctly spelled email address?

Alexwlchan (talkcontribs)

(Also, as a note to myself: you want to log in to Phabricator to report a bug in Pywikibot. There are error messages about `user_config.py` which should be `user-config.py`.)

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@Alexwlchan Hi, I've deleted your unused account. Feel free to re-register. Thanks!

Alexwlchan (talkcontribs)

Thanks!

Account deletion and username change

Valcio (talkcontribs)

Hello. I just discovered that username change on Phabricator was possible. I created a new account with the new username (Valcio) and stalled the old one "ValeJappo".


Valcio is linked to my new developer account (valcio) and ValeJappo to the old one (valejappo).


I would need to:

  1. Delete "Valcio" (it has currently no actions/edit/anything)
  2. Rename "ValeJappo" to "valcio" (*lowecase*, please)
  3. (i can do it manually if you can not) Link "ValeJappo", now renamed to "valcio" to the new developer account

Thank you!

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@Valcio Hi, I won't be able to change linked developer accounts. After deleting "Valcio" (not sure why it was created?), you could use your Developer account "ValeJappo" to log into the Phabricator account, link your MediaWiki SUL account on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/ , log out of Phabricator, log into Phabricator via the MediaWiki SUL acount instead of the Developer account user, and go to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/ to replace the Developer account user. Assuming you still have access to your Developer account "ValeJappo".

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@Valcio For verification, I see in the Phab DB that the Description blurb of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/ValeJappo/ at some point said "**This account is no longer active. It has been moved to @Valcio**".

Renaming done. Feel free to also connect your MediaWiki SUL account to your new old Phab account - thanks!
