User:MediaWikiMonitor
Hey there - I'm requesting a bot called MediaWikiMonitor. It basically tells people if they haven't signed their posts, made too many edits (see here for the definition of too many edits and how many minutes the edits have been made in) in a short time, tells people if they haven't categorized a page/file and it clears the sandbox. The original bot wasn't made by me and its source code is available at https://github.com/banana439monkey/wikimonitor

Broken Abuse Filter
Hi guys,

can you please have a look at the AbuseFilter and fix the wrong blocks, which it is making? E.g. see the block of my IP 88.130... from today (December 2nd), 13:30 o'clock.

I was answering a support request on the Support Desk and in the answer I wanted to include a link to an older Support Topic. The topic name is one of these random numbers. As soon as I try to point to a topic, it incorrectly blocks me, telling me, I would be a spam bot doing a mass attack.

It would be great, if this broken spam filter could be fixed, so that it at least properly allows mediawiki.org links again.

Cheers!

 * Internal links inside mediawiki.org also are not working correctly. This misconfiguration currently prevents me from helping users at the Support Desk. --88.130.73.233 15:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello! Thanks for mentioning the problem here, and sorry for any inconvenience :( I changed the filter to not block users anymore and the filter rules should be more specific when identifying the real spam and let you post links :) Please give me some feedback, if you still have problems :) Best! --Florianschmidtwelzow (talk) 16:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Florian,
 * it is better now, but the problem is not yet solved.
 * Links to Flow topics and internal links with twice two square brackets seem to be working correctly now.
 * What is not working yet, are external links to mediawiki.org. E.g. a link to api.php or a link to the history function with an old revision or so. --88.130.73.233 19:00, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

A feedback, surprisingly "identified as SPAM", took me here
In response to a request for feedback, on the contents translation tool, in https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tema:T2vwbskdnhgwkwek (the catalan Wikipedia) I just reported a problem (Subject "Tables translation"... or so) but, when sending it, I got a warning message saying that this had been identified as spam and suggesting that, if it wasn't, I should contact an administrator. The "user list" pages the message link took me to do recomend comming here for admin actions. My feedback provided links to original, translated and reconstructud pages, which would take me some effort to rebuild. Can someone do somethig for me: recover my contribution and take it to the proper destination? Thanks, --FranSisPac (talk) 17:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC) (also in ca:Usuari_Discussió:FranSisPac)

Remove Flow of my talk page
Hello, it is that Flow is active in my talk page (no it did) and I do not want that system, can help me to remove it. Thank you. -- Alvaro Molina  (Let's Talk ) 21:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You should be able to turn it off at Special:Preferences. Please let us know at Talk:Flow how you would improve the feature, or what you had problems with. Thanks! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 04:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, I want the same as Alvaro Molina; I've done as you said but my talk page is still a Flow page.--Syum90 (talk) 16:05, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed for you. As above, please give us any feedback at Talk:Flow that you can. Thanks. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 17:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I deleted AlvaroMolina's talk page because it was still under Flow, and was showing under speedy deletion. It seems I also can't disable Flow by normal means for myself (the feature is added on all uncreated anon. talk pages, among other areas). Tropicalkitty (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Now fixed that, too. (Using special:ChangeContentModel, as opposed to special:EnableFlow (this auto-archives existing content), both of which are available to admins on this wiki). Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know about that. Tropicalkitty (talk) 17:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much :-) I will provide my reasons at Talk:Flow as you asked.--Syum90 (talk) 06:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the help, my talk page returned to normal. Regards. --Alvaro Molina.png Alvaro Molina  (Let's Talk ) 18:27, 12 April 2016 (UTC)


 * , I have the same problem, I need User talk:Mlpearc Phone changed via Special:ChangeContentModel from Page content model-flow-board to Page content model-wikitext, not sure how to requests this, hoping this can be resolved here. Thanx,  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 14:57, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I did it for you. --wargo (talk) 15:08, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Cheers, Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 15:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Delete Talk:Technical Collaboration Guideline/Vision
Please delete Talk:Technical Collaboration Guideline/Vision to make space for move from the actual talk page, which was moved and made orphan without reason (the new talk page is empty). Users expect to be able to find and follow comments to a page but outside the page itself in the standard ways (clicking the "Talk" tab, watchlisting the subject page) but the moving user declined to consider solutions for that problem. Nemo 08:30, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I actually proposed a solution allowing to keep the default discussion pages based on Flow and the extra wikitext-based discussion pages created manually by a user, having both of them linked to each other and to their content page. I explained my reasoning to Nemo.--Qgil-WMF (talk) 08:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
