Does the "Restricted-Login Exempt" user right bypass all IP range (g-)blocks even when users are logged-in?
If so, you could also try customer support to request this particular right if your current IP address has been affected by this issue.
Type "MediaWiki:Highlight.css" in your local wiki's search bar. That page is where you can add the code.
Yep, but this is why account security, whether it's fandom or any other site that requires an account, is still important to the present day, as it eases responsibility on not just you but the wiki's staff team also.
I'm glad this matter has been resolved.
Just seen the user's message on the community wiki after unblocking the account, and notified the user to change their password immediately. The way that message's been written, looked like someone else got into their account and posted intentional wrongdoing which was caught by the filters, the thread-mods, and eventually, me.
OK, here's what happened. The first link I typically look at when browsing the Pokemon Wiki is the Discussions Abuse Filter hit logs, and found your entry to be on the "Prevent" list. The filter was there to reduce our thread-mods time from dealing with such posts. As your first post on that Wiki was a thread which was completely off-topic, I assumed that you were never going to post with good intentions, which was why I blocked you.
What I didn't realise was that the filter triggered and the post was added at the same time. I thought it would happen on two separate occasions, like you were trying to repeatedly add the content over and over, when that's clearly not the case.
I agree that my block was rather impulsive, and I won't be active today, so I'll unblock the account now. Still, I suggest you read our wiki's Communication Policy first, and listen to our mods for any wrongdoings. Enjoy using our forums.
The text seems to be reverted back to the wiki's defaults as of today AFAIK because of a bug. Hopefully Fandom will address this issue soon.
Thanks. Just noticed my 'Noto Sans' text font on my css being affected too.
By the looks of what I'm seeing on the other wiki, you did everything right. A 1-week block and a report to customer support I think were both good decisions.
@NoOn4m3S, You mention "Community Central's guidelines", could you provide links to the specific ones? The OP still seems to be rather confused.
Have you confirmed your email? You might want to read this:

Ah, thanks. I forgot that blogs cover wiki articles and requires a separate bit of coding.
Go on to your username's global.js page and type this in.
window.announcementsIgnore =
{ option: 'opt-in-all',
exceptWikiIds: [
]
};To follow announcements of certain wikis, go to Special:Version and find the number to the right of the Internals box, (E.g. this wiki would be 177) and type that number on the line between the two square brackets. Leaving it blank means that you'll be ignoring announcements from all wikis.
There is a way out, but there is a lot of social etiquette that you need to learn and adapt to before you can be trusted to come back. Appealing an indefinite block (and especially of that reason) takes more than just promising that you can improve.
Here's my suggestions before you do anything else:
* Spend time editing/posting on other wikis, but don't talk about your block on that wiki as you did here.
* Wait 6 months before planning to appeal.
* Don't create another account; bypassing your block will likely make matters worse for you.
Hope this helps. There's more to do after 6 months have passed but I'll leave it there.
No, definitely not. Whether they're blocked or not, other people's usernames are their choices on what they want to call themselves, and to create wikis with the sole purpose of collecting blocked users' data will make them feel like they're unfairly victimised.
This could also cause unwanted attention from trolls looking to bully these users further. That's why we're encouraged to remove such data.
As far as I know you'll probably need to enable MassEdit, which is restricted to users with Content-Moderator or Administrator rights. Even so, you need to make sure people are trustworthy of your intentions, as both of your accounts could be blocked if your main goal isn't to build encyclopedic content, or anything else contrary to our CCP.
I did consider setting an age barrier for admins, primarily because I needed to add explicit words into the Discussions Abuse Filter. I even considered it for Thread-Mods too because of a similar thing; they'll eventually be looking at posts with explicit language or images, and learn how to deal with it.
I guess responsibility and decision-making comes first though, and enforcement of proof-of-age policies on FANDOM is pretty much impossible AFAIK, apart from the "slip up with a comment accidentally revealing your age".
Assuming they're innocent and that this is a new account: What was your old account's name?
"Disruptive editing/posting"; that's my personal quick fix summary for such occasions.
You can also add wikilinks in block summaries, as long as they connect to a policy page (Which is what they're usually for). Keep in mind that block summaries cannot be changed once published.
This does look like an inappropriate comment to me.
