Serious Vandalism on the Kirby Wiki
THE GREAT KAZOO made a mass vandalism attack on the Kirby Wiki, it consisted of Uploading Kirby related Hentai to the wiki and placing the images on various pages including a number on the Main Page. I've since reverted every last one of his edits (Hiding as many of them from the rc as possible), deleted the new pages which were created by him with the images only on them, and of course deleted all of the images. But I'm just an admin helping the encyclopedia, which means that I'm not the only admin there which has access to the deleted pages. This wouldn't be a normal issue for the times when deleted images were actually deleted, but since deleted images are actually kept I'd like to ask you to delete all of his uploads off Wikia's servers so that the other admins don't run into them. Even oversighting them would be helpful. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 16, 2007 @ 08:31 (UTC)


 * Admins can't run into them unless they purposefully try to undelete those images. Oversighting doesn't work for images. Do you think any admins are likely to try undeleting these? Perhaps they shouldn't be admins if that is the case? Angela talk 13:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * There's always the possibility of looking through the deleted images list one day and running into the image to see what was deleted. But generally I'd say that it's not that good to have 30+ of those type of images on the servers. We actually lost 2 potential editors on The Gaiapedia once just from someone uploading 1 of those type of images. And losing admins isn't that nice (I think Max2 gave some of the good editors Sysop status), and I have a feeling most of the other Sysops are younger than me added to that. ~Dantman(talk) tricks  Apr 16, 2007 @ 19:22 (UTC)


 * I've requested a new feature to deal with such images. Angela talk 14:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

80 KIRBY WIKI?!?!?! not the English one! User:Max2/sig


 * Max - what do you mean? Angela talk 19:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought he meant the english Kirby Wiki. sorry. I was sorta freaked out... but I checked, and it wasn't there. &#123;&#123;SUBST:nosubst&#124;User:Max2/sig}}


 * Nope, you were right. I don't have Sysop status on the other Kirby wiki. It was the English Kirby wiki. You just don't see it because I did I good enough job of removing all the images and hiding his edits. If you'll look over w:c:en.kirby:Special:Log/delete you'll see that there were a bunch of those images deleted (For sanity's sake, don't look at the images) and the images removed from a number of pages. You just didn't notice it cause I used &bot=1 to hide the reverts from the recent changes (Which also removed the edits from the recent changes to). And thanks Angela for the info on that upcoming feature, I'll probably get rid of those when that comes around. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 18, 2007 @ 02:30 (UTC)
