Block request for User:NoEggs
[edit]- NoEggs (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 's edits involve reverting back to the edits of User:Bend465, who was blocked as another sock of User:TylerKutschbach. Wowzers122 (talk) 01:24, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
Done —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:30, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Requesting template protection
[edit]Template:User Files and Template:User Files/layout see widespread use on Commons, both in and of themselves and as part of templates that make use of it such as Template:User QI or Template:User FP. The latter two are already protected, but the template (and layout page) they depend on aren't. ReneeWrites (talk) 18:55, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- I noticed another user attempted to implement dark mode colors to the template but did it incorrectly. So, I would like to try doing it correctly before the template gets protected. It shouldn’t take too long (should finish it by today), hopefully you (or admins) wouldn’t mind this. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 19:26, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- I have finished implementing the dark mode colors, it should now work correctly. Just to be sure, I have check all the templates that uses {{User Files}} and randomly picked userpages that uses this template. So far I haven’t seen any problems, but feel free to let me know if there is any. So both {{User Files}} and {{User Files/layout}} can be template protected now. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 20:06, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- Done I protected them at autopatroller level. In my opinion more strict protection is not needed. Taivo (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

These categories usually be vandalized by a LTA recently, view the page history for more info. This LTA also vandalism in multiple categories that I can't list all, probably should check the contribs list of LTA's socks in these pages. I think it should be semi-protected. Nvdtn19 (talk) 01:56, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- Those two categories now limited to autoconfirmed for a year. If someone wants to do more, great. - Jmabel ! talk 04:17, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
Protection request for some of my images
[edit]Someone, supposedly the owner of the car I photographed is determining to keep changing the description on the photos. He wants to remove the "TRS" in the description because it an limited edition car. I disagree because it clearly states on the back of the car that its a CX 22 TRS. Since late August I reverted the edits a total of 8 times and I feel like it won't be the last. I previously requested protection for these images a year ago and they were protected for 6 months. But since that protection is expired, the same person is still changing the description. I had to revert their edit twice since my last post which you can see on my latest contribution.

Requesting blocks for long-term abuser
[edit]Just requesting blocks for the following accounts/IPs for long-term abuse (see LTA case page on enwiki) as they were continuously harassing me on my talk page:
- 92.247.9.130 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
- 149.62.207.46 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
- EvilAngelSD (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
- EvilAngelHD (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
Also thank you to Achim55 for semi-protecting my talk page. Aydoh8[contribs | uploads] 01:21, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Also requesting that someone send the accounts to SRG for global locking. I would however I don't have autoconfirmed on Meta. Aydoh8[contribs | uploads] 01:24, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
User:Blocking subject
[edit]Account creation shouldn't be disabled for the account User:Blocking subject, which is a test account used for people to see what it's like to be blocked. Please fix the block to enable account creation, like it is on the English Wikipedia and MediaWiki.org. 2001:56B:3FF2:6DED:20F2:8F7D:2E7C:7FFE 14:36, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Done OK. Yann (talk) 16:13, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Uhh, now the account has two blocks instead of one. You should've just changed the block settings of the previous block. 2001:56B:3FF2:6DED:20F2:8F7D:2E7C:7FFE 19:42, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- AFAICT, it doesn't work that way. When changing a block, it creates a new block in the log. Yann (talk) 20:03, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- Something seems to have gone wrong with the active blocks display. It does show two active blocks and misattributes a 2016 block to the wrong admin. The old fashioned block log seems to be fine. GMGtalk 20:51, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
