A humble request to add more user groups with slightly stricter requirements.

A few examples would be manually confirmed before administrator. Extended confirmed (after certain no. of edits and days registered), new page patroler, researcher etc. Thanks and if you may add any user group I'm ready to help. Bingobro (Chat) 11:26, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Abuse filters

Hi,

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

Oversight request

Can you please oversight this user and his block? The nature of the username tells you why it needs to be oversighted. Joepayne (talk) 11:16, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Community portal uneditable

Why is the Community portal protect? It is supposed to be for all the community not user only. It says on Server that there is only one server, but on portal you say "backend", do you mean there is frotend also? --171.25.193.20 09:09, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

The backend is the code behind the site, the frontend is what the normal user woul see when visiting the site. MacFan4000 (talk) 12:34, 4 November 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

Joepayne (talk) 11:20, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

I used hideuser for abusive usernames that the public does not need to see. I try not to use it if I don't need to. MacFan4000 (talk) 14:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

OpenProxy

Are open proxies allowed on TestWiki? -- CptViraj (📧) 01:30, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

There is nothing that really prevents their use, but any proxy used to disrupt the wiki may be blocked immediately without warning. But then again, that can go with most other sources of disruption. -- Void ^Whispers 14:56, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Got it, Thanks! -- CptViraj (📧) 16:53, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Ban?

Hi, are You sure that You want to block user:Seranida for vandalism? I've checked edits made from that account and I don't see any evidence for abusing other accounts. Best regards, Neonek12 (talk) 07:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I did not ban for vandalism, I banned for abuse of multiple accounts, not just here but also on wmf and miraheze wikis. MacFan4000 ^{(Talk Contribs)} 12:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

OK, I understand. Neonek12 (talk) 14:29, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Interface administrator

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

@Neonek12: We identified an issue where relatively new users who have became a crat could in theory insert malware into common.js. MacFan4000 decided to take IA away from non-stewards to prevent this. ImprovedWikiImprovment (talk) 20:44, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@ImprovedWikiImprovment: Okay, but I assume that it would be still possible to self-grant this right to own account for limited time (like bot flag), for testing? Neonek12 (talk) 04:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

@Neonek12: Possibly. Just now you'd have to ask a steward. This is more of a question for MacFan4000. ImprovedWikiImprovment (talk) 15:30, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

@ImprovedWikiImprovment: Which I assume is why it's on their user talk page. Seemplez (talk) 19:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
