== Abuse filters ==

Hi,

I'm just letting you know that I've created two anti-vandalism abuse filters to prevent nonsense such as [[Special:Contributions/45.33.143.7|this]]. Feel free to tweak them if need be. Most of the code is from the English Wikipedia.  [[User:Pillowfluffyhead|Pillowfluffyhead]] ([[User talk:Pillowfluffyhead|talk]]) 14:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

== Avoid excessive use of hideuser ==

Dear MacFan4000,

I have been on this wiki for a while and have seen hideuser used a lot on blocks. Unless there is a need, could you please unhide the blocks that were hideusered and make a policy which says hideuser is not to be used excessively. This is in the interests of maximum community transparency/accountability. Thank you for your cooperation

Hi, I've just seen that You removed intadmin permissions from all accounts except Stewards. Was it done because of security reasons? [[User:Neonek12|Neonek12]] ([[User talk:Neonek12|talk]]) 20:16, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

== Glitches ==

Hello, I noticed some glitches you may want to have a look at. One is that if I look at someone's contributions like [[Special:Contributions/Example]], I get an error "Namespaces with negative values are not supported" tho I can still see contributions when using the dropdown menu for search by namespace, even if I invert selection to search for all but one. Another glitch is that I can't see the difference between revisions when I click the cur or prev button when looking at history, instead I just see a blank page, and IDK how to patrol the edits if that doesn't work. Also patrol button is missing right now for the new page [[Main_Page/zh-tw]]. Anyway could be the software update, or else I messed something up in my preferences, thought you should know. [[User:Fast|Fast - ZoomZoom]] ([[User talk:Fast|talk]]) 16:32, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

== CU Request ==

I am requesting CU as I have reason to believe that user [[User:JJPMaster|JJPMaster]] is a sock of [[User:WEWILLNOTMOVETOARIZONA]]. He is confrontational (see my talk, he referred to my adding a script as "idea theft"), and requested permissions here, and as soon as he got them requested permissions on Miraheze Test Wiki. He also requested a wiki on Meta on Miraheze right after that. Hope you'll look into this. Thanks!

== Requests for steward assistance ==

When you have time I'd appreciate it if you could assist with the issues below.

'''Requests for CheckUser'''

* A full conversation is at [[User talk:A#Question]], but I believe there is sufficient evidence to warrant a check on [[User:ᗡ]].

* A number of linked spambots, as can be seen on [[Special:AbuseLog]], are attempting to post similar junk about jerseys. May be worth checking to see if a rangeblock on the underlying IPs is possible without causing too much collateral damage.

'''Edit requests'''

* [[Test Wiki:Privacy policy]] can only be edited by stewards and needs [[Template:Policy]] transcluded to categorize correctly.

* [[Main Page]] has a stray comma that should be removed; says "Test Wiki, is a place" should just be "Test Wiki is a place" admittedly a minor error, but worth fixing.

Thanks for your help. Best, [[User:Fast|Fast - ZoomZoom]] ([[User talk:Fast|talk]]) 23:24, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
:* There is no correlation to other accounts for either user.
:*{{Ping|Void}} is better at Range blocks then I am. He would be the user to ask.

Hi MacFan4000. Today I came across [[User:Guy|an account]] that had been suppressed, and I can't quite understand why.
