Brainrot account creation

I've seen a lot of accounts like this one that use brainrot terms and usually are bad faith accounts that just vandalize wikipedia. As a result, I think we should create a filter similar to 54 (hist · log) with the regex of 614 (hist · log). It should look something like this:

action contains "createaccount" &
!contains_any(user_rights, "override-antispoof", "tboverride", "tboverride-account") &
(
abuseStr := "f\s*r\s*e\s*e\s*d\s*i\s*d\s*d\s*y|y\s*o\s*[lo\s]+s\s*w\s*[4ae]+\s*g+ // etc, the rest of the 614 regex;
(accountname irlike abuseStr)
)
PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 17:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
If this request is implemented, it should also exclude users with tboveride and tboverride-account, as this is essentially equivalent to an addition to the title blacklist. JJPMaster (she/they) 03:43, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Added your suggestion to the proposed code. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 21:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, I missed an "r" in tboverride, so could you add that? JJPMaster (she/they) 22:03, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
PharyngealImplosive7, ccnorm(accountname) rlike abuseStr will not work for this lowercased regex, so use accountname irlike abuseStr instead if we plan to implement this new filter. But for now, I'm not seeing that many vandalism-only accounts with brainrot usernames on the recent changes list. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 03:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I see them all the time. Not sure there's much point, though, because people can just choose a different username. It won't actually prevent any vandalism. If anything, usernames like this make it very easy to spot vandalism-only accounts. C F A 05:17, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
I mean I would intend this filter to be log-only like filter 54, so it's an easy way to see these accounts and block them quickly, not a disallow filter. – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 23:55, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
I don't see a problem with that. C F A 00:38, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
I have two issues here. The first is, is an edit filter the right path for implementation here, or would the title blacklist be more appropriate? The second is, if implemented through an edit filter, I would almost certainly only exclude override-antispoof, keeping with what was used for 54 (hist · log). This is given that tboverride is a far wider amount of people than would generally be creating accounts with unusual patterns. Unusual and otherwise generally disruptive username patterns are generally held for those with the account creator flag, which are those identified to the Foundation and working with account creation requests, as well as administrators. I'm not sure it's the best idea to toss in every page mover and template editor, given there would be a near-zero chance of them actually tripping this at all (not all PMR/TPE are account-creation savvy, either, such as a current TPE who isn't even extended confirmed...). EggRoll97 (talk) 02:46, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Prevent template vandalism

  • Task: Prevent template vandalism (exactly what it says on the tin).
  • Reason: Template vandalism can be extremely disruptive since templates are usually used on multiple pages and breaking that template breaks all of the pages that use the template. Many highly used templates are automatically semi-protected or template-protected by User:MusikBot II, but template vandalism still occurs nevertheless.
  • Diffs:

Duckmather (talk) 05:59, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

NOTE: There are a lot of pages in templatespace that aren't templates per se. These include subpages like /doc, /sandbox, and /testcases, and also for some reason that I don't understand all DYK nominations occur in subpages of Template:Did you know. These should probably be excluded from the filter, if there is one. Duckmather (talk) 06:00, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
At least the blanking should probably be on a filter. Nobody (talk) 06:24, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I'm tempted to ask, how do these fare after RFPP? Wbr is now template-protected (hell, even I can't edit that template), and the others could probably be semi-protected, which would resolve most of the problem. An edit filter seems a bit much, though the blanking seems like something we could make a filter for. I'll look into that one. EggRoll97 (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps there's private filter 600 for this purpose? Codename Noreste (talk) 10:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

What are the urls of these incompatible wikis? – 2804:F1...69:1A4C (::/32) (talk) 15:09, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Mirrors and forks lists some of them, I don't think its even possible to make a complete list. There's also Fandom, which has both, compatible and non-compatible licenses for their wikis.[1] Nobody (talk) 15:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Here's the basic code for it. (With a few example urls of mirrors that aren't compatible.)

Code
equals_to_any(page_namespace, 0, 2, 118) &
!contains_any(user_groups, "extendedconfirmed", "sysop", "bot") &
!(summary irlike "^(?:revert|rv|undid)") &
(
    url := "[0-9]{5}\.us|99colors\.net|alchetron\.com|celebsagewiki\.com|en-us\.nina\.az|knowpia\.com|profilpelajar\.com|wikizero\.org";
    
    added_lines irlike url &
    !(removed_lines irlike url)
)
Nobody (talk) 17:44, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
1AmNobody24, I've modified the code to also exclude removed_lines. Without it, the user would get flagged regardless if they edit a part of a section containing the website or not. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:17, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Task: This is related to the persistent issue with talk page junk, some of which is addressed by Special:AbuseFilter/1245. I am proposing a filter to catch a further subset of them, most likely generated by students, that follow a specific but extremely common pattern:
  • The page is not a user talk page, a sandbox page, or any subpage of Wikipedia:Reference desk
  • The editor is an IP
  • The subject line should be a school subject from a predetermined list. Some subjects that are common here: "English", "Math", "Mathematics", "Maths", "Geography", "History", "Social studies", "Chemistry", "Civics", "Physics", "Biology", "Life science", "Earth science".
  • One or more of the following should apply to the comment body:
  • Comment filter 1: Edits that are really short (fewer than 5 words or thereabouts)
  • Comment filter 2: Edits that start with certain phrases: "Definition of", "Write", "Information about", etc.
  • Comment filter 3: Edits that start with the phrases "what is" or "what are" (possibly others) and are somewhat short (fewer than 10-20 words? idk)
This specific subset is clearly related to student assignments -- WikiEd doesn't think it's related to their assignments specifically -- there is a correlation but it's probably just school, in general. For instance this diff seems to be associated with this assignment or a very similar one.
I suspect some of these are produced by LLMs, text-to-speech, search integrations, or other automated tools because of the time frame (the date they really started pouring in lines up almost exactly with the date GPT-3, ChatGPT, etc. came out); because of the formulaic predictability of the pattern; and because of certain tells in some of these suggesting they're overheard conversations, ChatGPT prompts, etc. (Here is a smoking gun for this.) These edits have almost no utility and usually go unanswered; if they are answered, it's usually to scold the user, who almost never responds.
There are literally thousands of these, cleaning them up is a huge task, and that task also has a deadline. If nobody cleans them up before the page is archived (which is likely to happen because school-curriculum talk pages are often long, and because archiving is often done by bots who don't check what they're doing) then they will be stuck there forever. (I cannot emphasize enough how arbitrary and asinine that is, but whatever.). While I'm willing to clean up as much of the existing stuff as I catch in time, it would be nice to stop the floods.
I'm happy to add to or refine this filter to reduce false positives and catch more false negatives, this is off the top of my head. The real solution is to either find a technological or UI-design cause, but this subset of edits is just so predictable that a filter might make sense.
If you want to find more -- or to help clean them up -- the relevant search pattern is insource:"UTC [subject]". A search pattern more prone to false positives is insource:"[subject or common one-word edit] Special".

Gnomingstuff (talk) 19:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Bumping this. I can provide more acronyms that are even less likely to be false positives. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Here is some regex I've made quickly so it might not be accurate completely:
!("confirmed" in user_groups) &
!( (page_namespace == 3) || (page_namespace == 4 & contains_any(page_title, "sandbox", "reference desk")) ) & 
( 
    junkStr := "={1,6}\s*(?:(?:math(?:ematics)?)|(?:english))\s*={1,6}"; /* add other subjects */
    added_lines irlike junkStr &
    !(removed_lines irlike junkStr)
) &
(edit_delta < 50 || added_lines irlike "(?:(?:definition\s*of) || (?:write) || (?:info(?:rmation)?\s*about)) || (?:what\s*(?:(?:is)) )
This is fairly rudimentary and probably has a few errors but I hope it helps in creating a sketch of what the filter could look like. Thanks, – PharyngealImplosive7 (talk) 14:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC).

EF 189

I've seen many users insert 'p(a)edophile', 'nonce', or the like in articles when undue (vandalize). In my view, this should be disallowed, rather than tagged, as there are few cases where new users constructively do such a thing from my time at RecentChanges.

The filter being private, I can only guess at its specific contents, but to the best of my knowledge there are other changes that trip it, so this might require a new filter.

Is my idea—to disallow pedophilia accusations by new users—a good idea, or are such edits already handled by other filters I don't know of with higher accuracy? JayCubby 23:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights.

I have used AWB before and found it practical to correct spelling errors. I think I then used it only (mainly?) on Swedish Wikipedia and that is what I plan to do in the future as well. And I think I will use it primarily on such misspellings that are common in the swedish language. In that case the AWB tool is much more handy than doing it with no help at all.

I would like to help out with the NPP backlog drive. I believe I fit all the minimum guidelines; I have a good knowledge of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies and sufficient experience with quality control processes, as I engage with the deletion process, especially PROD and CSD, whenever possible and I help out WikiProjects by writing new articles. I try my best to communicate in a civil manner with editors in communication. In the scenario I get approved for this, I strive to review pages and reduce the backlog strictly on a volunteer basis, to contribute greatly to Wikipedia by reviewing pages with this duty.

I was previously a reviewer, hopeful to return now after illness. I'd like to get back into it, and already into the working again in AFC/vandalism. thanks! Snowycats (talk) 04:10, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I would very much like to remain a New Page Patroller, please, and to have the three-month period extended indefinitely. I greatly enjoy this aspect of being a Wikipedia editor, and believe that I have made a very positive contribution. In the three months since my NPP rights were last discussed, I have marked as reviewed several hundred pages, some of which I had to edit quite a bit to get them into appropriate shape and others which were created so well that they were really good without me having to do much or anything. I have of course reflected a lot on how best to go about this important task, and to minimize my errors and weak judgements. I am far more cautious than before, and consequently I have actually marked as reviewed far fewer pages per week than I did before. Indeed, when patrolling new pages, I often edit pages for hours each day without marking any at all as reviewed. I am demanding a higher standard in my own mind than hitherto. This does not mean that I have not made mistakes over the last few months. I am human and have made errors. I do not believe there have been many, however, and I consider my efforts to be reliable and trustworthy, but I am disappointed in myself for making any mistakes at all. The key here is that I try hard always to learn from them and not to repeat them. I am neither proud nor disputatious, and I try to treat all fellow editors with respect and pleasantness if they highlight any issue, and I do try to absorb and begin using any and all guidance that I receive. I respectfully ask my fellow editors to see that any errors over the last three months have been very few, and that by percentage of the pages I have edited or marked as reviewed, the errors are a tiny percent, thus establishing me as dependable and trustworthy. I have gratefully received several barnstars for my patrolling throughout this period. I repeat that I regret getting anything wrong at all and aim for zero errors. I am committed to this standard.

 Automated comment An extraneous header or other inappropriate text was removed from this request MusikBot talk 15:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
 Not done. I don't think you have enough experience at WP:AFD yet to be considered for this user right at the moment. You've participated in less than 10 AfDs in total, and your rationales there don't really demonstrate your understanding of our notability guidelines. This nomination doesn't explain why notability is in doubt or how and why the article doesn't meet applicable guidelines such as WP:GNG or this WP:SNGs, and this other recent nomination says that the article should be deleted because it has no references. Notability isn't about the content of the article at the time it is nominated for deletion, it is about about determining whether the subject has any sources available that would warrant a separate article dedicated to it. Deletion is not cleanup, and if the subject may have sources online that cover it, it shouldn't be nominated at AfD. I suggest reading up on our guidelines around notability and re-applying for this right after a couple months of participating in AfD and other deletion venues. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:13, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I fit the basic criteria and I think I could make a contribution here. I have a fairly good idea of my limitations and will deal with them by passing on the more difficult new page decisions.

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I kindly request the "New Page Reviewer" permission. I was previously granted "Autopatrolled" status based on my contributions as a writer and editor, and the granting administrator encouraged me to consider applying for this role.

I now feel prepared to take on the responsibilities of reviewing new pages alongside my current duties as an "Autopatrolled" user, particularly in my areas of expertise: Iran, the Persian language, and the Persianate world. I am committed to upholding Wikipedia’s standards and collaborating with fellow editors to maintain the quality of new articles.

Thank you for considering my request.

Hi. I've been editing wikipedia semi-actively when real life allows for almost 3 years and recently surpassed 1000 edits. I have fully read and understood everything linked at WP:PCCRITERIA. The main reason I think I am suited to having pending changes reviewer rights is because of my current project to clean up the backlog at CAT:ESP, CAT:EEP and in the future CAT:COIREQ. The work between those and proposed changed reviewing is very similar and would allow me to help there as well. Ultraodan (talk) 11:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done We generally don't consider granting this for users with less than two hundred article edits, and your request makes me question if you actually understand what pending changes is and how it works. Feel free to re-apply when you have more relevant experience. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 09:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I had "pending change" privileges, but for some reason they are gone. I think I had to request to renew them but I did not realize. I apologize. I have been focused on doing other things on Wikipedia, such as cleaning up article categorization, but I would like to start using the "pending review" privilege if possible. I make daily edits to all types of Wikipedia pages and am familiar with the style guide. My ideas for things aren't always popular but I respect when conversations happen that challenge my edits because that's how Wikipedia becomes a better place. I always assume good faith, but I also understand that not everyone possesses that. Thank you. BittersweetParadox (talk) 08:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this to assist with reviewing edits. I am fairly active on this platform and occasionally handle edit requests. I have made significant contributions to articles, including List of things named after Julius Caesar, which I have nominated for FL. I have also participated in some AFDs and believe that I am eligible for this. The AP (talk) 10:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

As a relatively new Wikipedia editor, I quickly grasped the core principles and ideology of the encyclopedia. With over 500 edits and several articles created, I have made steady progress, and at my current editing rate, I project to reach 30,000+ edits by the end of 2025. The Pending Changes Reviewer privilege would provide me an opportunity to my broaden efforts against page vandalism and ensure accurate, stable, and reliable content. I sincerely appreciate rejections or acceptance given my understanding, however, please endeavor to leave any explanation if you deem it fit to reject.

It works in tandem with reverting vandalism and it can be a good alternative for tackling possible vandalism or content that's not appropriate for Wikipedia. I'm already familiar with vandalism policy and handling inappropriate edits as I'm a rollbacker. Additionally, I'm very familiar with Wikipedia's content policy, given that I've been editing for around 5 years now. JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 21:47, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

As I also do recent changes patrolling, having this permission will extemeley help me with combatting vandals, as edits requesting review can be viewed on the Recent Changes page, which will help me.

I know this may come as a bit of a shock, but I'd like to request the "pending changes reviewer" permission so that I can review some pending changes. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 05:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

My sole purpose of editing or the desire to review edits is for the wellbeing of Wikipedia. I made a few pages and made 1300+ edits. I believe in quality not quantity. TrueMoriarty (talk) 17:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Rollback (WP:PERM/R)

Rollback

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Wikipedia more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Wikipedia's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Wikipedia before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Patrick Welsh, thank you very much for requesting this permission, and for the calm, thoughtful request. For a permission that allows you to undo a series of edits with one click that is granted only on request because its overuse is so tempting, there's not a better application one could file. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
 Done happily ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I have been patrolling the recent changes page for a long time now, and it's pretty much the only thing I do on here (other then occasional copyediting.) When I learned about rollback and its benefits, I thought that could be a huge help for me and patrolling against vandalism. I love patrolling, and this will make my life so much easier.

Hello Tenebre.Rosso.Sangue995320, is there something in the Simple Wikipedia you may like to reconsider? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:47, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi there. I was an admin for years but lot my bit through inactivity. I do a fair bit of anti-vandalism work and regaining this right would save me a few clicks. John (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
