Semi-protect General requests

It is a general page and would be considered a page for IP editors, so making it not IP editors seems contrary to its purpose. Personally, there is nothing there of note, so think that it fails its purpose and probably could be removed and delinked unless someone can see a real point of the page.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Report concerning Nebojsapantic6

Usese machine translation for Serbian language --Milicevic01 (talk) 16:28, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 and Tegel: Anyone? Could you block this guy for good --Milicevic01 (talk) 13:53, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
@User:Milicevic01 It seems to me that the last edit by this user is dated 1 August 2023, that there aren't deleted edit, nor a message telling them what might be wrong with their contribution has been left in their own talk page. Is there anything that I missing? Could you explain a little bit better, since I am unable to judge translations to or from Serbian language. Thank you for your help. --M/ (talk) 14:16, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
@M7 First: there arent deleted edits because no one is watching, second: i correct messages when they appear on srwiki baner (last one Wikimania scholarship). And last just because last edit is Avgust 1 it dosent mean he wont appear again Milicevic01 (talk) 14:33, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
@User:Milicevic01 I understand. May I still suggest you, before asking again for a block, to better suggest the right approach to translations to this user, that seems to be active since 2021? Thank you for your kind help. --M/ (talk) 14:38, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Since there is no any kind of control of translation and i am left with consequences; block or if possible remove translation right Milicevic01 (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
I usually do not block users if their actions cease, nor I block them if there's no visible attempt to communicate and explain how to avoid/improve their work. Feel free to reopen this request if any attempt is made and the user continues to insert machine translations. --M/ (talk) 14:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection for User talk:Dragoniez

I would like to have my user talk page semi-protected for some time. It's been subject to persistent vandalism by sockpuppets since last December. Dragoniez (talk) 08:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Done, pls write me if you have other preferences about expiry. --M/ (talk) 14:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Are you trying to rename the entire Wikimedians of the Levant project in to Egypt Wikimedians User Group? — xaosflux Talk 17:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
I think this is only a layout duplicate.
Done I have marked the page for translation. Please note several translation admins check pending pages regularly, so most changes should wait lower than a week. To request a quicker review, Meta talk:Babylon is probably a better venue than here on RfH. -- Pols12 (talk) 21:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Seeming spam editor

I would report 9999 lines (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA) at Steward_requests/Global, but the only for sure spam he's posted is at mw:. Here, his user page has what appears to be some weird spam, but there's no way that I'm clicking on that link. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:18, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Follow-up that user is now indef banned on mw. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Not done the user isn't active here, so I don't think that we need to be doing anything locally. Global concerns to the stewards at SRG  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean by Not done, but deleting his spam page is Done, which I think is definitely doing something to respond to this thread. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
The template {{delete}} is all that is needed to have a page deleted, and has been picked up by whatever normal processes are in play. Reporting here is not normally needed for that level of intervention. Reporting here is usually an indicator of more.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Sure, hence why I alerted admins: this person could just be fundamentally confused and needs guidance or could be a bot posting spam or could be someone with poor English skills, etc. I was relying on the judgement of admins to intervene with whatever they thought was most appropriate. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:17, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Anyone can help the confused, it is not a function of administrators. If I see something marked as delete, I will delete and raise any unresolved concerns with the user. It still never needs pinging here under all circumstances.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
And admins are particularly poised to either 1.) use their judgement to determine if a user needs blocking or 2.) provide guidance and an elaboration of policy. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Sure and we do, and regularly for seeing {{delete}} against a page. It still doesn't need to be reported here for one piece of spam.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Which I didn't even know was spam. See the original post. Not sure what you think is going to happen here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:27, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
I am giving you direction of what to do, and you are choosing to debate the instruction you are given. Not certain how I can be clearer to you.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Not sure why you didn't remove the section resolved template, but I will if you want to keep on talking. I did not debate the instructions given, nor did you give me instructions on what I would have done differently. If I suspect that someone is posting spam, where should I post instead? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:41, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
@Billinghurst @Koavf Please just calm down. We are all working together to keep pages from being spammed, harassed by bad trolls, instead of targeting each other with weapons. Anyone may make mistakes so let's close this section. Lemonaka (talk) 12:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
@Lemonaka: Please don't tell a calm person to calm down. Uncool. I am trying to get a message across about how to use the system best, and not have the need to use this page in redundant requests.
@Koavf: Mark spam, or any other out of scope pages, for deletion and move on. We'll see it. I have said this a few times. [Pages for deletion, protected pages for editing, etc. which all have their systems in place don't need notifying here unless they are going unresolved.]

If someone is trying to burn the house down then let us know here. This page is for escalation of problems where help is truly needed.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:35, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Request, please can someone copy 'Template:Scalable image' from English Wikipedia to Meta?

Hi all

I'm trying to use 'w:en:Template:Scalable image' on some help pages and my user page which will appear on Wikipedia and Meta. However the template doesn't exist on Meta yet. It uses some other templates and I don't want to try to do it and make a mess I have to ask someone else to clean up, can I request someone else please copy it over for me? It will be really useful for creating documentation.

Thanks very much John Cummings (talk) 14:03, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Take a look a the list of dependencies at the bottom of this page, this isn't some sort of simple "copy it over". So this needs to be carefully evaluated and built by someone here if they want it, and that won't require a sysop or crat. If forking, just link the to original in the edit summary - if whomever may take this up wants the history imported after they have it built, drop us a note and we can transwiki the history. — xaosflux Talk 15:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi xaosflux
Thanks so much for the reply, yes I realise its not easy, that's why I asked here rather than trying to do it myself, which wouldn't really be possible, I don't know what I'm doing with copying templates :) Is this the best place to make the request or are there other places I could do it also. Thanks again, John Cummings (talk) 08:43, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Done There was no missing dependency, except the dedicated style sheet. I have applied some cleanings, please let me know about any issue. -- Pols12 (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks so very much Pols12, really appreciate it. John Cummings (talk) 07:29, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
