Abuse filter
Kris, would it be possible to write an abuse filter that prevents anyone from editing any page in the User namespace (i.e., ns:2) unless his username matches the username associated with a particular userspace, or he has the sysop bit? Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  04:07, April 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * "or he".... Slight sexism there dear :( 15:17, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

Pages to be redirected to w:c:sasecurity
Kris, the following are the categories whose pages are to be redirected to w:c:sasecurity: As I understand it, the redirect is to take the following form:""Do not redirect the category pages themselves.
 * Category:Sasecurity

Do not remove any categories that exist on the pages being redirected. However, be sure to add the following categories to each page redirected: If you have any questions, or are unsure of anything, please contact me. Thanks and good luck! :) — Spike  Toronto  11:43, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:Closed wiki
 * Category:Mini-wikis upgraded to full Wikia wikis

Redirected pages listed on Category pages
Currently, in MediaWiki:Common.css, we have this:

If I want to add the category namespace to that, would this be correct?

Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  10:44, April 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've no idea, I'll check later :) 22:28, April 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * FAIL. It made all the text on category pages italic and not just the redirects. :( — Spike  Toronto  07:50, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

Remove Image
I uploaded an image here, and I removed it from the Indie Dreams wiki once the mini wiki became a full wiki. It's still here on the scratchpad, and I'd like it removed here as well.

Speedy Deletion
Hey Kris, it's NZGuy and the reason I put speedy deletion on them is because those episodes and characters (if they are even real) will not be out for at least 1-5 years, so why not create the pages at the right time instead of now.

Or how about the pages are blank until the characters are confirmed to appear and the seasons are in production

hi

Welcome bot
Since the Wikia welcome bot seems to be working again, please disable yours. People are receiving duplicate welcomes. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:08, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. Here’s an example: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:YTPooperGuy?oldid=1197317 — Spike  Toronto  07:20, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

HTML bot opt-out
Hi Kris. I need you to come up with a way whereby a page can be marked such that the various bots we are running will not operate on appropriately flagged pages. At Wikipedia, they use wikipedia:Template:Bots for this purpose. For instance, the HTML bot can be overzealous in converting HTML to wikicode. For example, there is a reason for using HTML header markup in some instances rather than wikitext header markup. The HTML header code  generates a second-level heading just like the wikitext  . However, the wikitext will also generate a section edit button for that L2 heading, while the HTML header code will not. The benefit, in this example, is that an editor can choose not to have section edit buttons on an individual basis. The magic word   applies to the entire page. This is just one example. In general, the problem with the HTML bot, as it is now written, is that assumes that someone working in source mode, electing to use HTML in certain instances, does not know what he is doing. This is not acceptable. It’s one thing to want to strip out all that refuse left behind by the RTE. It’s another to do so to those editing in source mode. It makes the HTML bot as much of an annoyance as the RTE. Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  07:44, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

P.S. The stop function on Cblair91Bot’s userpage does not work. So, I had to disable it by other means. I will not fight with it for control of the Main Page. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  07:58, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

AbuseFilter/7
Hey Kris! I was looking at AbuseFilter/7, which is as follows:  !("sysop" in user_groups) & !("autoconfirmed" in user_groups) & (user_editcount < 10) & (article_namespace != 1) & (count("http://", string(added_lines)) != count("http://scratchpad.wikia.com", string(added_lines))) & ((count("http://", string(added_lines))) > count("http://", string(removed_lines)))  As I interpret it, it applies to every namespace, except the article talk namespace (i.e., ). However, yesterday, I removed spam from the main/article namespace (i.e., ). (Please see: Special:DeletedContributions/Bjland4.) Why do you suppose our filter did not catch it? Thanks! — Spike  Toronto  08:29, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Congratulations
Dear Cblair91,

Thank you for the Anti-vandalism barnstar. It is both an honor and a privilege to be on the lookout for and revert vandalism here on the Scratchpad wiki. I will be sure to keep up the good work.

 * Please see this discussion. There’s no rush to fix it. I know you’re under the weather. It’s not so important it cannot wait. Thanks! :) — Spike  Toronto  18:10, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

Disney Character Categories Like Articles
Hello, this is FlyingDuckManGenesis. Lately on the Scratchpad Wiki, I have been trying to make articles of characters from various Disney movies. There are some from specific movies that are available as subcategories on the Disney Characters category page. There used to be more, though they got deleted from that page, and I think I know the reason why;

There are certain Disney Movie character category pages that I was working on. In some of them, I added a Coming Soon section to signify what characters from those movies I planned to work on when I had the time and chance. These were on several Disney Movie category pages, notably The Jungle Book Characters, The Lion King Characters, Pocahontas Characters, Aladdin Characters, and Peter Pan Characters. I noticed you added a template to the former three because you must have thought I was trying to turn those category pages into articles. Now, I wasn't trying to turn those category pages into articles, and I do have reasons for why I added Coming Soon sections to those category pages, as well as the latter two. It was because I was planning to work on those character pages when I had the time and chance. Since you added the template, those sections have been removed, along with the Disney Characters category. I would like to re-add the Disney Characters category to those category pages (though I will not re-add the Coming Soon section, since that is what caused you to add that template in the first place), but the template you added warned me that if I tried to re-add the text or the category to it or removed the template, I would get an immediate block without warning, and I certainly wouldn't want to risk losing my editing privileges.

Now, I removed the Coming Soon sections from the Aladdin Characters and Peter Pan Characters category pages because I didn't want them to have the same fate that the The Jungle Book Characters, The Lion King Characters, and Pocahontas Characters category pages had. I would like to just be able to re-add the Disney Characters category to those pages so they would show up as subcategories on the Disney Characters category page. That way, if people were looking for characters from a specific Disney movie, they could find the name of that specific movie on that category page. As previously mentioned, I am not going to re-add the Coming Soon sections to those pages, since I don't want the Disney Characters category to be removed from those category pages again. If they do show up again on those category pages, I will assure you that I did not re-add them, but will let you know who did re-add them. I only mean the best for the Scratchpad Wiki, and I hope this message has helped you understand that. Thank you for your time.

 * Ahoy FDMG, Just to let you know some of the cleanup on categories was done by me or an automatic bot process that I ran. If you feel this has been done in error, feel free to remove the template from it and ignore the warning. If I do however come across it again it may be placed again and a talk message will be given to you explaining the reasons :) Enjoy 15:17, June 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for taking care of 86.42.155.205 as well. I highly appreciate it.

 * Ahoy FDMG, Just wondering but the categories you had named have not been edited by me nor have a Category Namespace template on them... Could you please direct link me to some of them :) Thanks 15:24, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
