NOTFISHING

[edit]

I would like note that automatic classification based on nonpublic data is possibly contrary to the spirit of en:WP:NOTFISHING. Of course, this may be implemented even if it will not be used on enwiki, but it would be beneficial to check how many wikis would actually adopt this feature before this feature starts being worked-on.

The concern of NOTFISHING is if (in extreme case) we do a CheckUser for every active user there is a risk that PII is leaked to 3rd party. It is less a concern if it is designed that we do not leak anything identifiable. GZWDer (talk) 01:20, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Update from WMF

[edit]

Hi @AndreJustAndre

This was closed by a community member, but we wanted to add some context as to why.

The wish was effectively addressed by the PSI team’s Suggested Investigations feature, which provides automated anti-abuse signals based on potentially suspicious behavior, and surfaces them to volunteers authorized to see non-public data (namely checkusers and stewards). This feature has seen good community use, and continues to be actively developed and expanded. MikeZ-WMF (talk) 08:14, 18 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
