Template:Banned

The following discussion is closed: Done by MF-W in January. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:59, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

We don't have any local ban policy, so what is a ban is unclear. Propose to redirect it to Template:Indefblocked I also propose to remove the "banned" option in Template:Indefblocked. For global ban we already have {{WMF-legal banned user}} and {{Community banned user}}.--GZWDer (talk) 09:27, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Redirect makes sense. As far as the "banned" option in {{Indefblocked}} goes, I'm substantially indifferent, but do have one question. My understanding is that in some circumstances, a community-banned user is still allowed to edit in a limited way on Meta, if for no other reason than to appeal the community ban. So I wonder if that option should stay, in order to call out a situation when a community-banned user is not even allowed that limited editing on Meta. StevenJ81 (talk) 20:33, 7 July 2017 (UTC) Clearly not necessary to worry about that. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
There's no banning policy alike w:WP:BAN here, yes. That doesn't mean that an indefblocked user can return with another account and we'll treat that as abuse of multiple accounts. I am indiferent as long as we don't start making things bureaucratic and difficult to understand. If any user is blocked on meta indefinitely for any reason, the user is not allowed to come back in general with any account. Obviously common sense apply and if the user was blocked because of their username, then if he returns with a valid username I'd say there's no violation here. —MarcoAurelio 10:58, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge with {{Indefblocked}}, we don't actually "ban" a user locally, it's enough to either indef block or global ban. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:33, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
Delete, you can't be "banned from Meta-Wiki". --MF-W 13:58, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
Better to let the whole template redirect, then, especially since redirects are cheap. That will remind anyone who actually has a thought about placing a "banned" template on someone's page that it's not a correct thing to do. (But then the banned option can be removed.) StevenJ81 (talk) 16:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
I think that would tempt people to a wrong use of "banned" as a synonym for "blocked". --MF-W 23:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
The term "banned" is already being misused.--GZWDer (talk) 11:49, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
I do not speak English so I hope you all can excuse me for that horrible mistake. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 20:56, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
Honestly I don't mind your usage of it. A ban is defined (in English) as an official prohibition against using a service, I think an indef block qualifies as that. – Ajraddatz (talk) 03:58, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Delete. I also think that deleting the template is better in order to avoid confusion, and also removing the "banned" option from the template {{Indefblocked}}.--Syum90 (talk) 07:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

  • substitute and delete; to avoid red-links. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 08:51, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment Comment looking at how it is being used, I would recommend that we leave it as is. This template utilises "indefblock" and it is being used supplementary to either community or WMF-legal notice to indicate to users that the account should not be un(b)locked without further consultation. Each user with this template has been banned by one of the two processes, so it is the case that a ban has been applied.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:19, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
billinghurst It's funny you say that and within the same few minutes then protect the user page of a user who's ban was a bullying tactic by James Alexander of the WMF to show the community what happens when editors stand up to admin abuse. Reguyla was routinely bullied, trolled and harassed by admins and functionaries including on this very project right in front of you and you all didn't lift a finger...you should be ashamed of yourselves. Reguyla's ban wasn't done by the WMF, everyone knows it was just Jamesofur/James Alexanders that did it. What better way to show that the term "banned" doesn't have any value here. 2601:5CC:101:2EF2:3D95:A817:5B32:32B0 18:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Sure, whatever alternate view of reality you wish to put on it.  — billinghurst sDrewth 21:59, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
You can discount my beliefs if you want too but if Kumioko/Reguyla had not been bullied out they would likely now still be editing at a high rate and improving Wikipedia rather than being an enemy. But not everyone in the community agrees with the decision! 2601:5CC:100:697A:A061:E024:1056:8FBD 02:41, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
  • In five users using banned template, only one (PauloHelene) have local community discussion. The other four are blocked without community discussion.
  • For these "banned" users (except socks), in my opinion they may be unblocked if they promise to behave. I don't think a full community discussion is always needed. (There're no local unblock discussion of Reguyla either.)
  • For community or WMF-legal process of global ban, we have specific templates indicating it. I don't think a real community process of local ban is needed.

--GZWDer (talk) 19:20, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

    • And there never will be an unblock discussion for Reguyla because James Alexander won't allow it. It was his decision to ban them and he isn't about to admit he was wrong. 2601:5CC:100:697A:A061:E024:1056:8FBD
    Three of those accounts are WMF blocks, so there is not requirement for a community discussion. They are still banned and the template applies. I cannot comment on the fourth account, you will need to talk to Huji but it does mention another account.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:54, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
    billinghurst which user are you referring to? I am quite confused. Huji (talk) 12:04, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
    @Billinghurst: For users banned by WMF, we already have {{WMF-legal banned user}}. For account User:ظهيری, it is blocked for impersonating of other user (and later found as a sock of Mjbmr), both are grounds of only indefinite local block, so the term "banned" should not be applicable here.--GZWDer (talk) 21:16, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Can we focus on the template again? This is not the place to review blocks. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

I guess the consensus is for deleting or redirecting. --MF-W 16:11, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
I agree. I'd just note that the template is transcluded on six user (talk) pages, so if the template is deleted, someone has to address that. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:22, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
I replaced the occurrences with Template:Indefblocked and deleted this template. --MF-W 16:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

User talk pages deleted outside of policy

The following discussion is closed: Not done. Deletions in line with the policy & no consensus to undelete. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:19, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

I would like to request the undeletion of user talk pages I had created when I welcomed new users, the reason given for these deletions was that the deleting admin (Vituzzu) didn't feel comfortable with a user "on probation" (which doesn't exist see Meta:Probation) welcoming new users, I am simply not the only user who welcomes new users but for some reason an admin decided that if I welcome a new user that this should be deleted even though other users like Ottava Rima and Liuxinyu970226 welcome new users so deleting these pages purely because I made them without citing any policy is an abuse of tools and these deletions should be reversed. --Donald Trung (Talk 🤳🏻) (My global lock 🔒) (My global unlock 🔓) 13:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

See also Meta:Requests_for_help_from_a_sysop_or_bureaucrat#Abuse_of_tools_by_Vituzzu. — xaosflux Talk 14:32, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Oppose undeletion. Your signature is deliberately inflammatory, and I understand why Vituzzu thought it shouldn't be included on the talk pages of new users. And since you're from enwiki, I'll give you a bit of a pass on this one, but Meta (unlike enwiki) does not have hard-and-fast policies. Our deletion policy is a guideline which gives administrators latitude in how they apply it. – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
How is it inflammatory? Towards whom? You can’t just make a statement and not back it up, nor did any non-steward seem to have commented about my signature being “inflammatory” before, and I'm from Wikimedia Commons (also a place where I'm one of the most active users) and the deletion of those pages at no point mentioned my signature only that I'm supposedly on “probation” (something which doesn't seem to count for users like @INeverCry: who are allowed to call users “Nazi pedophiles” without getting globally locked), my signature is the way it is to show hope to users who are currently globally locked that not all locks are forever and since there’s no Meta:Guide to appealing locks get some insight in what stewards like you do and don't like (such as using the e-mail or IRC functions for contact), so again who does my signature harm? The fact that this steward calls my signature “linkspam” (despite it not being an external link) has more to do with the fact that they do not wish to see my account unlocked rather than anything else. Why is it acceptable behaviour on Meta to keep telling people that they should’ve never been unlocked/unblocked? On any other wiki this would've been seen as harassment. --Donald Trung (Talk 🤳🏻) (My global lock 🔒) (My global unlock 🔓) 10:58, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Delete request - page "MISTO TRESKA" in SQwiki

Please delete page https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misto_Treska in SQwiki, because it is a personal attack against our father (dead 25 years ago). There are criminal statements against him in this article, accusations and defamations without any Court sentence to prove them. We're facing this problem since March 2018 and we have evidence for local administrators being in conflict of interests with our family, as they refuse to keep a NPOV or to delete the articly permanently. Please help us, we find it unnecessary for Misto Treska to have an article in SQwiki at all. Thank you in advance. Best regards

We requested page deletion in SQwiki since March, but there is a conflict of interest between local administrator in SQwiki “1|2|3k” and us. Please help us. The article is full of crimes attributed to Misto Treska without any Court sentence. ~31 May 2018, 21:41 CEST

All content in Category:Indefblocked Meta users

Now that the category is gone, maybe we should just nuke all its entries there. Ping @Herbythyme, Trijnstel, and Billinghurst. I've been testing a deletion script recently. I can delete them all using either my admin account or creating an ad hoc bot admin account for that only purpose. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:09, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

I believe that some need to be retained, and those retained need a suitable category. Some are clear community level bans that happened through discussion and such pages should not be deleted, which is why I stopped the other day and left comment with my pings. So at this stage, my retention thoughts are anything that has a user page, and a user talk page with {{unblock}} definitely, and anything that is a size above a minimal level size (not yet worked out what size, but something that has a discussion and not just a template with warning).  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:12, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Maybe some can be kept, but all? I don't think so. Any ideas? —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
From flicking through random pages in category, there are a lot of spambots, and they should go, all of those makes it harder to see those we may want to keep. Gut feel that as a first cut we do NOT want user talk pages on list that are less than 1800 bytes, and do not contain {{unblock}}. Though we may want to get there in a couple of steps. Firstly clear just those with {{warning message}} but not {{welcome}} and not {{unblock}} and less than 1000 bytes.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:44, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
And using special:massdelete gadget (s:MediaWiki:Gadget-massdelete.js) with account on flooder with a select list is how I was going to do it.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:49, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Is it an idea to manually start deleting pages we definitely want to get rid of? Trijnsteltalk 22:08, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
I can pull a list of user/user talk pages no longer than, say, X bytes long, paste the output on a file and run a deletion script for them if that helps. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
Yes, please. @Billinghurst: you will communicate with MarcoAurelio about this, I assume? Trijnsteltalk 18:09, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
Selecting all talk pages whole length => 600 bytes returns ~60k results. I guess I need some sort of join with members of that category or if anyone has a better idea? —MarcoAurelio (talk) 21:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

People are abusing both Template:Ping/twug and this list for spamming.

Administrators, please put a clear stop sign at such behavior. PS: I just realized the page is not linked from anywhere. In contrast to the claim above people can't opt-out because they don't know why they get spammed. (Seriously, tell me how I should opt-out from this or this?) The actual opt-in list is here. The page I ask you to delete was created by a single user, not by the people on the list. --Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE) (talk) 07:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment Comment It must be considered ridiculous that a meta admin has to be required to deal with this issue. A person complains about being on an opt-out list, and some people appear too principled to remove them from that list, expecting them to remove themself. So we come to a meta admin needing to make a decision about a deletion or not. In the end, giving that choice, I am closing as delete on the principle that opt-out lists are not considered appropriate; whereas if people add themselves to such a list on an opt-in, or give approval on a clear understanding they are being added to a pingable list.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:12, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed: X mark.svg Not done Opt-in lists seem to be reasonable by this discussion. Opt-out lists are not considered desirable, and easily avoidable.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:59, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

This template was created to ease people life when they want to notify the TWUG. Yes, it is still possible to ping every member of the TWUG with […], but it less conveninent to use, and if everybody copy/paste it all the time then the list of pinged people won't change according to the changes made on the TWUG members. That is, the reason invoked to delete the template is the exact reason why it should be kept: with this template people can easily unregister themselves from the notifications about TWUG information, and TWUG user can use it to notify anyone currently interested to get this information. --Psychoslave (talk) 12:52, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

  • Comment Comment The template was abused, and went through a deletion request. So please address in your undeletion request how abuse will be avoided.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:11, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
    If […] does not want to be part of this list anymore, he can remove his name from the list. I do not see how this template could be a problem. Pamputt (talk) 06:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
    Pamputt, I believe that is the wrong approach. People obviously free to add their name, I think that it is unreasonable for people need to remove their names.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:13, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
    Actually, I am not sure to understand. This template is exactly the same as pinging manually all people that are part of the user group. If they are not interested anymore by the user group so they should remove their name otherwise this misunderstanding may occur. Other people cannot guess that some people do not want to be warned about some news that may interested some affiliates of the user group. Pamputt (talk) 19:15, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

I can't believe people are repeating the same ping-abuse in the undeletion request for a template that was deleted because of ping-abuse. To the administrators watching this page: Please make sure these people stop spamming any large amount of people. Thank you very much. --Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE) (talk) 06:36, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@Thiemo Kreuz. I understand that you do not want to be pingged anymore. Don't act. You only have to say us otherwise we cannot guess it. It is the same with the ping template. If you do not want to be pingged anymore you just need to remove your name. BTW, talking about ping-abuse is a bit abusive; I did not count but I think this global ping template has been used about once a week, so I do not think we can talk about "massive pinging". Pamputt (talk) 19:15, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
See my comment above. Rich Farmbrough 06:57 17 May 2018 (GMT).

Did you get a prior consent for being pinged en masse? If not, that definitely sounds like a spam. Signing up for a user group does not mean they grant you (or anyone else) unlimited permission to ping them. Our MassMessage works in an opt-in functionality, I see no reason why this (de facto MessMessage) ping must be opt-out. Starting a clean ping list, with being opt-in is fine IMO, just undeleting it is not. — regards, Revi 11:14, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Main Page/zh-hans, Main Page/zh-hant

dupe Main_Page/zh--Shizhao (talk) 03:19, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I should note that the zh-hans and zh-hant pages are not translated and disabled from translation, and they are showing as main page when selecting variations of zh in language preferences. Deleting these pages should make the translated page to show. Also should we use 首页 or Main Page/zh? 首页 used to show as my main page until the other three pages were created. -★- PlyrStar93 Message me. 16:34, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Agree, the main Chinese translation pages already have the variant preference selection on both traditional and simplified Chinese characters for readers, given the redundant translation pages that have left at behind doesn't make any sense on that. SA 13 Bro (talk) 17:56, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Monthly goings-on

Goings-on/March 2004, April 2004 and May 2004 are already listed in Goings-on/2004. The same happens with Goings-on/02-2005 (see Goings-on/2015). Why maintain these monthly going-on pages when they've been already “copied” into their respective annual pages? It can be seen in Category:Goings-on that every other goings-on have been issued yearly. Eduardogobi (talk) 17:01, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Eduardogobi: If they are exact replications, then convert them to anchored redirects. No value in deleting long-existing pages, and redirects are cheap.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:21, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Invitation/* and Translations:2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Invitation/*

When Fuzzy moved 2017 Community Wishlist Survey/Invitation to Community Wishlist Survey 2017/Invitation, it forgot to also move its translations. Because of this, they can't be edited anymore, but they still appear as suggestions when translating similar messages. I propose the removal of all these (and these) pages, since some of them contain typos (that, as I said, can't be edited). Eduardogobi (talk) 23:02, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Those pages that could be moved over could be copy and pasted IF THERE IS VALUE in doing so. Or we could see if someone could move them over from the backend.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:39, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
As a comment, it seems that the bot should be improved to move Translation: ns pages if the main ns pages are moved.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:40, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
@MusikAnimal (WMF): who moved the parent pages.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:42, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Indeed, FuzzyBot failed to copy over a lot of translations when we did the rename of the older surveys. I asked on IRC and it apparently is a known bug. Even with sysop rights it appears you can't delete or move them manually. I do have a script I can use to copy over translations from the old locations. I will do that. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 16:08, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Although, I should point out that notification won't be used anymore (that was for the 2017 survey). Maybe we should just disable translations, at this point? What do you think Eduardogobi? MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 16:23, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
I've deleted the template. I don't think FuzzyBot deleted the new translations, or the old ones... Not much I can do there :( But hopefully it's at least not showing up as needing translation anymore. Regards, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 19:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment Comment That is an interesting question about YEAR pages and their translations. Do we wish to continue to have them open for translation and improvement? Or are these pages to be marked as historical and terminate translation. Even to the point of minimising further editing—which we can do by abuse filters.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:30, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
