Thank you for the notification. It does seem like the GLAMify tool had not been used in a while, and since the grid engine was replaced, I have not made time to migrate the tool to the current Toolforge infrastructure, so it is currently disabled. I do hope to get around to it in the foreseeable future, so it would be nice to not have to re-request the bot flag for it. Ijon (talk) 21:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. Although BaseBot is not currently performing any tasks, I would prefer to keep it handy with an active bot flag since there can always rise the need to do something with it and usually it happens in a spontaneous manner. --Base (talk) 01:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Requests to change some private filters

Would an administrator remove the double linebreak condition on line 25 of Special:AbuseFilter/72, and add wiki_name != "metawiki" to Special:AbuseFilter/164 (because we have local filter 121 that blocks spambots on sight)? We might also need to consider disabling or even delete Special:AbuseFilter/65 since 121 and 164 disallow and/or locally block spambots. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Done the latter (adding wiki_name != "metawiki" to 164), I'll leave 72 to someone else since I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done. --SHB2000 (tc) 11:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Done TenWhile6 23:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
@Codename Noreste, @TenWhile6 May I ask why we remove this condition with double linebreak? It often occurs in the edits of these spambots, moreover I haven't found a lot of false positives because of it recently. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 08:35, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
About that question, this is because filters 121 (local) and 164 (global) catch <br><br> from spambots, therefore already having that condition on filter 72 is not necessary (because of that, it was removed). Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 12:11, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Permissions from Base

Technically a bunch of Base's other permissions should also be removed by the same principle but since Meta:Requests for adminship/Base 2 is passing overwhelmingly there's no point in doing so now. * Pppery * it has begun 17:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
It's nice that the RfA is going well, but tbh I don't think it would be appropriate to ignore the process prescribed by the policy. TenWhile6 18:19, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
I'll leave it up to the crats if they also want to remove Base's admin and central notice admin permissions. I see no good that would come from doing that, though. * Pppery * it has begun 18:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Base's admin permissions were already removed by EPIC. If Base want's to continue with his CentralNotice adminship, it would be the best to start a request for central notice adminship though. But completely ignoring the policy still doesn't seem appropriate to me. TenWhile6 18:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Yeah I've also got to agree with TenWhile6 here; that said, whatever the outcome is I wouldn't mind. --SHB2000 (tc) 06:48, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Given Base's RfA was overwhelmingly successful, don't think it's worth worrying about Base's perms now. SHB2000 (tc) 00:06, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
@Base: sooo, paperwork.... Do you still want iadmin? (looks like somewhat recently used) Do you still want cnadmin? (looks like you used it one day in Dec 2023). — xaosflux Talk 10:11, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
@Xaosflux, yeah, I would like to keep both. I was never a very active IA, neither now nor when it was still part of my admin bit, but I do need the permissions from time to time, and I do have some plans to use it. As for CNA, I used to be very active with CN quite a few years ago, but I am still relatively active with regards to it, if you check my ns8 contribs for the last year there is evidence of that (although it is possible that those edits could have been made by a combination of my other rights, it is hard to tell outright because CN uses unique protection levels and such). There is also a point that CNA is basically fully covered by stew bit and some stews do administrate CN this way, but as someone who was a CNA before becoming a steward I would prefer to keep having a standalone flag. If that would make everyone more comfortable I don't mind reobtaining the flags the regular way, but I am also happy if we skip the formalities. --Base (talk) 22:41, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Well IAdmin is "just ask" for sysops - so no point in twiddling that off and back on, so that part is moot. @TenWhile6: do really want to see Meta:Requests for CentralNotice adminship/Base still? If not I think we can all just move on for this specific case and take a lesson learned to be mindful of additional flags to handle during desysoping next time. — xaosflux Talk 23:21, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Xaosflux, I guess it‘s fine for me in this specific case. I don’t want to cause useless to work, as Base wants to continue with his CNA (and I am sure he would get it back if it gets removed and he re-requests it).
Thanks for asking. TenWhile6 05:38, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
Not done the original request was valid, though no longer necessary. (Note to to 'crats: @M7, MF-Warburg, Sotiale, and Xaosflux:, who can process CNA and IA flag removals when asking for sysop removal due to inactivity processing)

After reading the UCoC enforcement guidelines page I believe this is the correct place to report this, if not please let me know if there is a more general noticeboard for admins etc. I experienced some Universal Code of Conduct violations and I would like to report them. I outline them at Meta:Babel#Universal_Code_of_Conduct_violations_on_the_Meta_page_for_the_WMF_board_elections. If you could reply there so everything is in one place that would be really appreciated.

Thanks very much

This is the better venue for dealing with user conduct complaints. The other thread contained:

To the best of my understanding the correct way to report Universal Code of Conduct violations is on the noticeboard for the wiki. I would like to report several UCoC violations which happened on Meta here including people claiming I was 'trying to be offended', being 'outrageous' and that I was attempting 'voter intimidation' by highlighting what I think is pretty clear racism against a candidate in the WMF board elections process.

Reason for request: [I want to organize a project and want participants to register on meta using the event tool .]

Marking this as on hold.
User is indef blocked on enwiki for copyright violations. A block appeal was declined. On the other hand, Special:CentralAuth/Ennydavids shows that enwiki is not the most relevant project of this user. I am leaving this open for other sysops and their opinions on this request, as Meta:Event organizers only states "No active blocks on the wiki on which you are applying for the right". The decision is up to us. --TenWhile6 10:07, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm quite neutral – the block appeal was declined and copyright violations is a serious issue to be blocked on, but it seems the user's main contributions are on Wikidata. SHB2000 (tc) 10:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

While I don't think someone blocked for copyright issues should be running events, content on Wikidata isn't prose, so I don't object. — JJMC89(T·C) 21:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
