Revdel request
Should Special:Diff/4222280 be revision-deleted? I couldn't find any policy on en.wb suggesting that it should, but the edit should explain for itself. TIA, --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 06:28, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * See WB:CENSOR. That is most likely a no. 21:28, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

User:Gonna get autoconfirmed in 4 days
I'm pretty sure User:Gonna get autoconfirmed in 4 days is a vandal waiting for autoconfirmation to edit protected pages, but they have not done anything egregious yet. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 03:31, 17 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @MarcGarver@Xania@JackPotte@Atcovi@Leaderboard@Mrjulesd Any recommendations? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Personally there doesn't seem to be enough proof to justify blocking this account, albeit this is strange. Personally I'd just wait it out, unless someone else has a different, justified opinion. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:21, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with Atcovi. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 19:42, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * We know that our LTA "friend" is making accounts with no edits, and waiting for autopromotion. But I think it very unlikely that a legitimate user would have a username like that, plus that they have a userpage but no mainspace edits... But usernames like that, as far as I know, is not against any policy. If this user does turns out to be a vandal, I say block any new accounts with a similar username with no edits within 2 - 3 days of account creation. 21:41, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This is why we need WB:Reading room/General to get decided apon soon. Like, really soon (probably within a month). 21:44, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * CheckUser evidence confirms it is the LTA, so the account can be blocked. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 11:57, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, thanks for taking care of that! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:22, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Block User:KittyFukUp
The User:KittyFukUp username is obviously inappropriate, so can admins block this username? Xeverything11 (discuss • contribs) 08:21, 24 January 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅ blocked indef as an inappropriate and abusive username. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 09:07, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * , and anybody else watching this page, does anybody mind if I write a user script to make it easier to request blocking a user? I think I have the general idea of how to do it. Might make this whole LTA thing a little bit simpler. 12:02, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * got your username wrong. 12:03, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Just tried and failed to find something to help me write it, so I just sent a message at Tech for help with this. 12:51, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The script can be found at User:L10nM4st3r/ReportUser.js. But do not use it yet. Unless you want to report users to the sandbox. 15:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

== Please [don't] block L10nM4st3r== One final test to make sure it goes to the right page. No, dont block me xD 15:47, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Above is an example of the script in use. It should be mostly ready now. Just go to a users page, talkpage or contribs with the script installed and you have the option to report them. It will be in a tab called "report". Tell me if you find it useful! (not intended for admins, since they can just block them) 15:51, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That's a very useful tool. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 22:28, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I made some recent edits away from my chromebook, so please don't scream at me if it doesn't work. I will be able to run another test tomorrow. 22:32, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Or if you hate waiting, use the version last made on my chromebook for now. 22:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, ive fixed it up now. 17:09, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
