Report concerning User:2.36.45.180

2.36.45.180 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Alec Smithson XReport ―MathXplore (talk) 13:12, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Blocked for three months, but due to mass-editing, edits are not patrolled Estopedist1 (talk) 06:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

A question and a possible suggestion to some filters, requesting the deletion of a .css page, and suggestion if we can move a template's name

Let's start with the following as per this section title:

• I have a question: does Special:AbuseFilter/123 need to be private? Moving aside for one second, I think it can be limited to just page creations given that we have Special:AbuseFilter/155, which disallows edits to others' user pages.
• I recently updated Module:Message box which made the warning parameter on the message box templates adaptable to dark mode. I believe they used Module:Message box/styles.css before, in which that styles.css page can be deleted.
• Unlike the English Wikipedia and English Wikibooks, we do not use the term edit filter, and Template:Edit filter warning might have to be moved to Template:Abuse filter warning itself. I will also import a documentation for that template.

Thank you. Codename Noreste (talk) 01:40, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

@Bencemac: who marked filter 123 as private (and I don't think that is needed). --Lymantria (talk) 05:35, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

@Codename Noreste: the filter was set private per @KonstantinaG07's proposal back in 2024. Bencemac (talk) 06:51, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the information, but from what I understand, I think filter 123 can disallow only anonymous users from editing the userspace, and filter 155 can disallow only non-autoconfirmed accounts in the same manner. Codename Noreste (talk) 07:09, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Seems that Module:Message box/styles.css is in use quite extensively? Doesn't seem wise to delete it? Perhaps I misunderstand what you are saying. --Lymantria (talk) 06:38, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

I just took a look at What Links Here for that .css page and some pages still use it, so yeah, I think we can keep it for now. Anyway, the message box templates are now fully adaptable to dark mode given that I've updated them. Codename Noreste (talk) 07:12, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Undeletion Request for Keith Hearne (Q6384475)

I believe Keith Hearne (Q6384475) to be Keith Hearne, notable British psychologist, see https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00004115.html and author of Sleep: insight into 'lucid' dreams (Q71871421) and Dream sense (Q47418711) Piecesofuk (talk) 15:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

@Bovlb Thanks for your reply, I have checked for @ValterVB in https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers/sysop&group=sysop&offset=&limit=500 and I don't think they're an active admin anymore. The AFD discussion provides sufficient references to pass WDN2 and my links above also demonstrate it passes WDN3 Piecesofuk (talk) 10:06, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

also it looks like the item didn't go through the Request for Deletion process https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Q6384475&prefix=Wikidata%3ARequests+for+deletions%2F&ns4=1&fulltext=Search+the+archives&fulltext=Search Piecesofuk (talk) 10:09, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

OK. I've gone ahead and undeleted. If anyone feels we that we don't need this item, let's do an RFD. Bovlb (talk) 15:40, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
