Help me!

What exactly does substituting templates do, and why is it necessary in some cases?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 13:59, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

This probably explains it a bit more than you're looking for but: Wikipedia:Substitution. Tl;dr it's so if a template is changed it doesn't break it everywhere else. Praxidicae (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Re: Grahmart

I blocked because the user set off an edit filter, see here. If you go to a user's contributions you'll see a link to the user's edit filter log, In this case, the filter showed the user had tried to spam links to a website with the same name; per the username policy, specifically our section on accounts named after organizations, this is not allowed. The edit filter log isn't the easiest place to find if you don't know where to find it, so I hope this helps. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 13:15, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for keeping Wikipedia free of advertisements and promotional content. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 13:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

No problem. And never hesitate to ask questions, thanks for all your hard work too. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 13:21, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

The latest entry on the edit filter log is for a user named User:NAGARAZ, for possible sleeper account creations. But there exists no such user. What's going on?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 18:08, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

My guess would be that there's a system in place to limit the number of accounts that can be created by any given user/IP. Attempts to exceed the limit get stopped by the server rather than the filter itself which is why they would be logged as "no action taken" rather than "disallow" despite the action logged actually getting disallowed at a higher level (resulting in the account not getting created). I'll leave this help request open in case someone more familiar with the system wants to offer a better explanation. 78.28.54.200 (talk) 19:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Each IP is allotted a maximum of 4 accounts per day, though this is occasionally lifted in the event of educational programs, events, etc. ᴀɴᴏɴʏᴍᴜᴤᴤ ᴜᴤᴇʀ (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 19:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

But then, what about the account name not being registered? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 20:01, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

My reading is that someone tried to create the account, had the attempt logged, but didn't succeed due to the throttle - thus there's an edit filter log entry but no account. Huon (talk) 20:25, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of attack pages

Incidentally, certainly this was a marginal case, but if you think a page has attack page characteristics it's best to tag it as one. That way the page's name doesn't appear on the user's talk page or anywhere else on Wikipedia (e.g. your CSD action log page, if you have one), so the subject's name isn't spread more widely. As this person's name is common it's less of an issue, but I thought it might be good to say that in case you didn't know already. Blythwood (talk) 21:39, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

@Blythwood: That's useful, thanks. What's a CSD action log, by the way? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 21:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Ah, it's simple. I use the module Twinkle that does push-button CSD filing (which, fortunately, I don't do often-I mostly use it to put a welcome page on new users' talk pages!). It records a log of every page you've tagged for CSD. Mine is here: you'll see at the bottom that although it says I tagged an attack page for deletion, it doesn't give the page's title. Blythwood (talk) 21:48, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Oh. I knew about the Twinkle CSD feature from since I got Twinkle, and I know how to use it well. I just didn't know that that was what you were referring to when you said: "CSD action log." Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 22:05, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Question

What about this newly registered User:Gaylordbush69? Regards. Jingiby (talk) 04:11, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jingiby: Hmm. If you have any suspicions, why don't you start an SPI, providing diffs from both users as evidence? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 12:57, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Woshiyiweizhongguoren I'm just going to leave a friendly suggestion not to tag sock userpages, particularly before they are blocked and I'd advise against it even after given your short tenure here. You should leave this to admins, SPI clerks and checkusers. Praxidicae (talk) 14:16, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@Praxidicae: Thanks for the tips. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 14:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
