Hi MaxSem, I checked this filter and it doesn't seem to stop these edits. I spoke to an abusefilter expert on IRC and after checking on a localhost wiki I'm running at home it seems to work, could you check this? I hope you dont mind.

TBloemink talk19:51, 16 January 2012

Strange, it should have worked, I even tried it myself. Are those students an issue recently?

Max Semenik07:25, 21 January 2012

Yes they have been an issue recently, see this userpage. There haven't been any hits as of now (besides your test) but since this user there haven't been any curriculum vitae's in Spanish here. We'll just see and if it doesn't work we need to have another look.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hi MaxSem,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - 1908 Australian postcard.png
Hope that so day somewhere on earth we shall meet in the same friendly manner in which we have interacted online for in connection with image filter referendum vote . I am very pleased with your friendly and welcoming attitude. Hindustanilanguage 10:35, 26 December 2011 (UTC).

Hello.

On 10th of September you've deleted Extension:Runphp page/ru (citing 'fundamentally unsafe' as your reason). While i agree with your argument, i disagree with its conclusion, the fact that something is unsafe means it should be labeled as such, not removed permanently. I can see several places where such an extension could be useful. For example in a wiki that is edited only by the very limited number of people, who simply use it as a "mini" collaborative site. If you have several admins with the access to the server already, you wouldn't worry if they would have access to the functionality of running a php script within MediaWiki. I am sure there are other uses as well. But the complete removal disables the ability of people to use it in any way (including the safe way). That's akin to deleting MultiUpload extensions because on a hosting where you prepay for the bandwidth and storage if you set them up on a public wiki, you can be DDOSed using them. Of course, you can, but the point is that there are uses where they are safe.

Thank you for your time. Beta M 08:01, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Beta M08:01, 1 October 2011

Attacker doesn't need to have access to a site with this extension, the only thing he needs to know is its URL, then he can construct a link like http://example.com/wiki/api.php?action=parse&text=<runphp>whackSiteDown();</runphp> and trick an admin into clicking on it. No way, in no environment this can be acceptable to use, hosting a page for this extension would be like publishing a suicide how-to.

Запросы в багзилле

Вы вроде занимаетесь разработкой MediaWiki. Посмотрите пожалуйста запросы в багзилле Викимедиа:

Там не очень сложные запросы, я не разбираюсь конечно в движке MediaWiki, но как мне представляется, там не потребуется серьезных изменений. На всякий случай, сообщение: это не для проектов Викимедиа (хотя первый запрос может быть полезен и для них), а для сторонних сайтов. NomoNest 15:26, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Extension talk:Password Reset obsolete

You annotated that Extension talk:Password Reset is obsolete. Can with MW core functionality the password of a user without an email address other than oneself be reset? This was the core functionality of Extension talk:Password Reset. Probably not needed by WMF projects, but by other MW users. G.Hagedorn 20:01, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

G.Hagedorn20:01, 30 August 2011

Right, it's still useful. I see that you've reopened the bug.

suggestion: first talk then delete

I think you are too fast at deleting stuff. "Frontend performance mediawiki" didn't lead me to ResourceLoader. It would have been much more pleasant to first leave a message on my talk page. Looking at the other comments on this page you seem to have made more people but me unhappy with your fast deletions. I understand you want to keep this wiki clean but there are better (nicer) ways to do that. Guaka 19:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Guaka19:55, 10 May 2011

Come to think of it. There's much more to frontend performance than just aggregating CSS and JS files and it would be great to have an overview of this on this wiki. Please restore the page.

Guaka19:59, 10 May 2011

Sorry if it offended you, I will certainly undelete it once I see what's the point of it. Did you mean to create it to request something particular from MediaWiki developers, like automatic minification? Such requests should be made at Bugzilla (those that aren't already fulfilled.) Was it meant to be something else?

Max Semenik04:56, 11 May 2011

I wanted to work out a page about anything related to mediawiki's frontend performance. See what is missing, which extensions are around, how to configure your server, all that. Capeesh?

You write sorry but you didn't still undeleted the page.

Guaka11:49, 11 May 2011
 
 
 

You are laughable...

Unbelievable, as a new user to media wiki I am really put-off with this product. To delete pages on wim - without informing the contributor in any way before hand is un precendented and completely rediculous. This is truly a first. I will never use this product again, and I will go out of my way to ensure that people avoid using it at all costs.

SWEngineering04:11, 11 May 2011

Have you seen the warning "Attention visitors: This site is for documentation on the MediaWiki software. If you are trying to add a page to your company's internal wiki site, you're in the wrong place. Just hit "back" in your browser until you find yourself back home." at the top of edit page?

Max Semenik04:29, 11 May 2011

I am not questioning your reason fbehind deleting my page. I am questioning your process. Have you no notion of consideration? Is sending a warning message a difficult undertaking for you? Are you so irritated with your life that you feel the need to detriment others? My advice is to take a vacation, find a new line of work, or see a therapist. You strike my as a very angry person.

SWEngineering04:37, 11 May 2011

Looks like you need to take a vacation too:)

Max Semenik04:39, 11 May 2011

I have to agree with SWEngineering here.

I think you should really stop deleting pages this fast and put a template first!

Editor right

Hi, MaxSem.

As a current member of the SWMT, I'm always involved with cross-wiki countervandalism work and I'm used to revert some vandalisms here. Also, I often access mediawiki.org and I guess having editor (reviewer? - what's the difference here?) permission would be quite useful in order to help with pending edits.

How can I obtain this right?

Thanks, Ruy Pugliesi 19:29, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Ruy Pugliesi19:29, 24 April 2011

Hi, I wrote in bold red on the top of this page that "All requests for user rights should go to Project:Requests".

Please explain your revert at Sites using MediaWiki/ru

This edit of yours requires some explanation. This is a legitimate wiki site which uses MediaWiki, very well-known by Russian users, with >3k articles and >30 of editors. It is an excellent source of information regarding Web 2.0 projects, especially wiki projects. Many users and admins of Russian Wikipedia participate there, even Russian Arbcom refers to it from time to time; at least one of the former arbiters is Wikireality administrator. I find it strange that you've removed it from the list without any visible reason. Please undo your edit. Еdwаrd Сhеrnеnkо 06:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Еdwаrd Сhеrnеnkо06:37, 25 February 2011

We both know that WR is banned on ru:. I'm not going to allow using mediawiki.org for promotion of attack sites, and this is not up for discussion.

Max Semenik06:46, 25 February 2011

There was no Russian Wikipedia consensus for this matter. Some admin just did it as you made this revert now. Wikireality is not an attack site but a very respected source of information. I don't know the reason why are you trying to erase it from the list, but you'd have to explain yourself, you can't just revert and tell the other users "go to hell with your badsite" without any reason. I insist on reconsidering this matter, you're behaving more than strangely. Еdwаrd Сhеrnеnkо 06:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Еdwаrd Сhеrnеnkо06:51, 25 February 2011
 

Still awaiting your answer.

Еdwаrd Сhеrnеnkо06:09, 5 March 2011

As I already said, the answer is no. This is not Russian Wikipedia and the year is not 2006. All further attempts of trolling or misrepsenting facts will be met with block, just as Smartass was blocked right now.

Max Semenik11:48, 5 March 2011

This warning was ignored, outcome was as promised.

Why did you delete me? and how the heck do you fix it... I am not spam, I am SELLING NOTHING. This is a link for my own personal website based on a nonprofit that I am creating as a business. I do not appreciate you doing so and please FIX whatever the heck you did... THANKS!

Livingnecessity22:14, 25 February 2011

And how is it related to this site's purpose?

Max Semenik22:35, 25 February 2011
 

I didn't realise this user was a long time contributor, never mind.

05:46, 3 February 2011

Can you please restore my page called "Mr. Henderson's World Culture Essay" on Uganda? It is a project for my class I did that is due tomorrow, 11-23. At least can you restore it temporarily so I can copy the information I typed and move it to a document. Thank you

Xamynar16:47, 22 November 2010

Page content is here.

Max Semenik17:03, 22 November 2010

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And I understand, I shouldn't have made a wiki for it, but I thought it would be neat to show my teacher how I'm good with technology. Thanks again

Code fix in extension

Привет. Раз русский, буду по-русски. Ты откатил мою правку по экстеншену CategoryBreadCrumbs с формулировкой "don't steal other people's credits". 1) В оригинальном файле коммент-блока не содержится. Пруфлинк: leerwiki.nl/How_to_create_breadcrumb_with_Mediawiki Есть в самой статье. 2) Информация "wgExtensionCredits" не изменена, все копирайты в ней есть. 3) Моих данных нигде не осталось, не считая IP. Обвинение в этом контексте совсем уж не звучит. 4) В другой раз пожалей нубов, не откатывай фиксы. Можно же просто добавить потерянную в процессе редактирования информацию. Апеллирую к твоей адекватности. Спасибо за внимание.

Niello110:10, 22 October 2010

Привет. Да, переборщил, извиняюсь. Но в общем, там было за что откатывать, в том числе неверное использование $wgExtensionCredits - параметр 'version' предназначен для указания версии расширения, а не совместимых версий MW, а 'url' - не для сайта разработчика, а для страницы описания расширения. Также, было испорчено исправленное уже на нашем сайте: название файла, и возвращён бессмысленный массив при инициализации хука. Так что результат получился сомнительный, как максимум надо было только исправить индекс в строке $combine = $tree[0].$wgOut->mBodytext;. Когда до дома доберусь - проверю, какая из версий этой строки работает на транке и остальное откачу.

Max Semenik10:50, 22 October 2010

Признаю, есть мой косяк. Я ж вообще не РНР-кодер, просто нашел способ заставить это работать и запостил для тех, кто совсем далек. Если поправишь, будет здорово.

Niello112:23, 22 October 2010

Брррр, совсем позабыл. Сегодня проверил - на 1.16 и 1.17 работает то, что было раньше. Откатил. Если в допотопных версиях работает по другому - надо проверять $wgVersion, а не портить для новых.

Deletion of Support request re Basic Indent Formatting

Hi. You removed http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Basic_indent_formatting_-_I%27m_going_nuts!_ondiscussionpage:Project:Support_desk

And I guess I half understand why. But it was half genuine request for help; I've spent hours searching, trying to work out, etc what the mechanism is (or if there is one) for paragraphed continuation without br-tagging for bullets etc. Of course, I can't access exactly what I wrote back then now. Anyway, please make some suggestion where I might go to resolve this query. Ta. 121.98.212.140 05:22, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

121.98.212.14005:22, 24 September 2010

It was deleted because it was asked in an improper place. And was it a question at all, or just a feature request? Frankly, that was pretty vague. Feature requests sholud be made on Bugzilla, but before requesting it, I suggest you to discuss this first on mediawiki-l or wikitech-l.

Max Semenik05:27, 24 September 2010

I don't know whether it's a feature request or not. I struggle to believe there isn't a simple syntax to do what I was asking about - to that extent it was a simple support question. Because I don't live around this community, it seemed sensible to express the "if it's not possible, it should be made possible" angle at the same time. However, thankyou for your pointers, and while I generally detest mailing lists, I'll head in that direction. 121.98.212.140 05:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
