That's about the best I can do.
It would be possible for Fandom Staff to suppress block logs with the (deletelogentry), (deleterevision), and (suppressrevision) permissions shown under the Special:ListGroupRights page. But I'm pretty sure they won't do it for you. Since block logs are meant to be kept public.
No problem! :)
4 days.
If your IP is dynamic, you could try disconnecting your Internet and reconnect it to see whether that fixes the issue. It worked for me in 2015 when the dynamic IP I was editing from was autoblocked.
@Zborst @JeForceX @HumansCanWinElves It was changed when Fandom migrated to the UCP platform from 2020 to early 2021. It was one of the changes that was introduced by default in newer versions of MediaWiki. Fandom didn't directly give Registered Users the ability to move files.
But they obviously didn't see an issue with the change. So the change has stuck to this day. Any wiki that wants to opt out of this change is of course free to request to have the ability to move files revoked from Registered Users on specific wikis. I have already done this with one of the wikis I administrate.
Getting globally disabled isn't necessarily because you've done something bad. Namely if you requested the closure of your account. Getting globally blocked on the other hand is almost always because you've done something bad.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. I pointed it out to Staff and they reenabled the account. But it became disabled again. It doesn't seem to be a big deal though, as it can still do its job while disabled.
How small does a wiki have to be to be classified as a small wiki?
That sucks. I lost my work one time and got up the next day to find that the PC still had it saved when I restored the tab.
@HumansCanWinElves - Yeah, that happened to me once. It was beyond annoying. And I reported the issue and they unfortunately said that if that happens there currently isn't any way to get back the unsaved text that you wrote. >:(
JavaScript Object Notation pages can't be edited by local Administrators unless they have the Custom-, Editnotice-, Gadget-, Gadgets-, or Tag- prefix. Since JSON pages aren't currently whitelisted.
Coincidentally I had just finished doing some research on what groups can and can't edit JSON pages. And what groups can and can't edit JSON pages with one of the prefixes I mentioned.
That's weird. Thought JSON wasn't currently editable by local users. I guess anything starting with 'Custom-' overrides those restrictions.
{{DISPLAYTITLE:}} unfortunately only works in the Main namespace, the Project namespace, and a couple of other namespaces.
Which is why I strongly recommend using JavaScript for Template:Title in addition to {{DISPLAYTITLE:}}, since it works in all namespaces.
It's about time those unused permissions were removed. Now it's easier to see what permissions each usergroup actually has vs. what permissions each usergroup would have if the features the permissions were associated with still existed! :)
@Andrewds1021 @HumansCanWinElves - Thanks. Personally I find the rollback rate limit for Administrators to be quite low, especially considering that there may come a time where an Administrator may need to revert more than 20 edits in a minute. I personally think that they should be able to revert at least 30 edits in a minute.
@Andrewds1021 - Thanks. Side question, do you know how to do it for other platforms? I'm trying to check on Wikipedia but I can't get the URL right. Same with Miraheze.
The rollback rate limit for users without the (noratelimit) right was until recently 10. What is the rate limit for Administrators now? It may be a while before I have to mass revert vandalism again.
I could try answering my own question by mass reverting on a test wiki. But there's only one test wiki that I administrate and that has almost no contributions from users other than myself.
