Possibly User: Sudux, based off of of how he immediately "jumped" into Uncyclopedia, similar interests. Seems strange he would go to VFH within minutes of being registered. Please run a CU check and report the results here. Thank you. --Gale5050 complain about me! 03:03, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

CU results: Not sus. No edits sharing an IP within the same CIDR /16 range.  Cassandra  (talk) 05:51am  January 1, 2021

Ah, ok. --Gale5050 complain about me! 14:23, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Please contribute to Baked Potato

Trying to get a new featured article to end the 12 nights of potato. It is Baked Potato. Please contribute in whatever way you like (be bold, add new sections, change text, add images). Would like to get it featured as rapidly as possible. ShabiDOO 23:09, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

I kind of suck at writing, but I'll try my best. Thanks for trusting me enough to ensure that I won't end up sabotaging anything!

The Wikimedia Cookbook could also be a good source of inspiration. See: here.  Cassandra  (talk) 11:30pm  January 1, 2021

Totally useful edits. Feel free to add a section. Even if it is just an idea another writer could expand on it! ShabiDOO 23:47, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Cassie could you please close the nomination for paint brush please? ShabiDOO 07:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Sure. I'll schedule it for VFH and Top 10 '20.  Cassandra  (talk)

This page (honestly) really does not exist and if you dare to click on this link you will be sent into a black hole of endless nothingness where you will be tempted to edit pages that do not exist which will only get in you in even more trouble.

Gave it the blessing of sysop protection.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:10am  January 2, 2021

Thanks. It's funny how the page's lifespan(s) began back in 2008 and came crashing down by the beginning of 2021. It recieved a semi create protection on December 19 which didn't do anything. Here is my screenshot version. --Gale5050 complain about me! 02:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

File:Screenshot 2021-01-01 at 9.22.38 PM.png

I would assume that someone must have shared an Uncyclopedia page linking to said article somewhere on social media. That's my only plausible guess as to why this phenomenon may be true. Otherwise, well.. there are other places to play "whack-a-user" too!  Cassandra  (talk)

That would make sense.--Gale5050 complain about me! 02:32, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Paint Brush

Hi Cassiein. By close I meant "withdraw" the feature. I'd like to work on it and try a second attempt for VFH. So you ought not to feature it (it hasn't gotten sufficient votes and there is enough constructive criticsm to warrant reworking it. Thanks! Also...you are more than welcome to collaborate on the article with me (especially formatting but also content). ShabiDOO 10:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh... hehe. I'll close the nomination w/o FA then. It still has a lot of potential, I'm sure!  Cassandra  (talk)

Semi-serious question

Is there an equivalent of revdel or oversight on Uncyclopedia? JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to]JJP... master?} 18:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

There is! A "revision deletion" system is used in a few cases here by administrators and bureaucrats, notably to hide IP addresses of users whom accidentally ended up logged out during an edit, or particularly flagrant cases of vandalism and/or spambottery. For example, the article "Information"'s history shows one edit that is rev-deleted: the edit was made by a spambot.

An oversight role is also present, but unlike Wikipedia, where there is a dedicated "oversight" role, the oversight permission is given to sysadmins (Uncyclopedia server hosts) such as Lyrithya. Just like Wikipedia, neither administrators nor (ordinarily) bureaucrats are unable to view an edit hidden by oversight. Oversight is very seldom used on Uncyclopedia; the only example that I can think of is Uncyclopedia's press release when it departed from Wikia in 2013, where it was used to hide the real-life identities of administrators Zombiebaron and Lyrithya.

Hope that clears things up! If you ever need a "revision deletion" edit to be made visible, feel free to ask an admin about it! If you need an article or an edit to be rev-deleted, feel free to ask an admin about it too! Don't bother asking about oversight though... it's very, very seldom used.  Cassandra  (talk) 06:36pm  January 2, 2021

@Cassie: Makes sense, but now I realize that the sysadmin right actually refers to sysadmin in the sense of Wikimedia, instead of just "admin x3". JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to]JJP... master?} 18:41, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@JJPMaster: Kinda, but I forgot to mention... Bureaucrats can accord themselves the sysadmin right temporarily in order to meddle with these things too. Sysadmin status is more like an "Admin x2.5", if bureaucrat counts as "admin x2".  Cassandra  (talk) 06:47pm  January 2, 2021

@Cassie: And on that note, is there an equivalent of requests for undeletion or deletion review? JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to]JJP... master?} 19:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@JJPMaster: Usually, for undeletion, asking an admin on their talk page is the quickest way to have a page restored. Owing to Uncyclopedia's smaller size, there is no equivalent to a dedicated "deletion review" page (unlike Wikipedia). Undeletion criteria tends to be quite broad: even reasons as simple as "I want to see what this page used to look like" are fine.  Cassandra  (talk) 08:03pm  January 2, 2021

@Cassie: nth question here: is there an equivalent of AN/I. Ban patrol is more like AIV in my opinion, because it is not a discussion page, but is there a discussion page with a similar purpose? JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to]JJP... master?} 17:45, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

@JJPMaster: As of right now, there isn't really an equivalent... the easiest way to discuss about a problematic user is to directly ask an administrator on their talk page, or contact one of them via Discord. Often admins will have chats together talking about what would be an appropriate punishment for a given person. Feel free to also give warnings on users' talk pages, just like Wikipedia -- and contact the admins as much as you need!  Cassandra  (talk) 05:51pm  January 3, 2021

On a slightly unrelated note, can you hide the IP using RevDel on [1] as well as the edit summary on [2]. I decided I actually care about internet privacy and people not knowing my IP, and I hope this can reduce people knowing my exact geolocation. --Gale5050 complain about me! 19:48, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

It's been done. It took me some time to locate your question, so I would recommend leaving it at the bottom of the page instead (even though it is somewhat related)!  Cassandra  (talk) 08:36pm  January 5, 2021

Please give me AWB access

I said that I was going to try to use AWB, but I didn't realize that I need to be on the AWB CheckPage in order to be able to use it, and I would like you to add me to that list. Thank you! JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to]JJP... master?} 19:22, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Alright, access has been granted. I would recommend against near-automated edits using AWB; if you wish to do so, please create a sockpuppet (2nd account) and ask a bureaucrat to designate it as a "flood" account!  Cassandra  (talk) 07:25pm  January 4, 2021

Using a template not from the Template namespace

Hi, I have a small problem. On the page Instruction manual I have made a subpage to be the specialized section title. It is transcluded (so, {{Instruction manual/title}}). This worked perfectly in userspace, but when I moved it to mainspace, a Template: prefix was automatically added, meaning that the transcluded template became Template:Instruction manual/title, which of course does not exist. Is there a way to force the software to transclude a template not from the Template namespace? ~ Hipponias^CUN - Talk - Contribs - Articles  12:23, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

@Hipponias: Try transcluding {{:Instruction manual/title}} (note the colon at the front)!  Cassandra  (talk) 12:26pm  January 6, 2021

Oh, thanks! ~ Hipponias^CUN - Talk - Contribs - Articles  12:53, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Abuse filter question

How come some filters are "unappealable"? And how come some are? Also, shouldn't the template {{unblock|your reason here}} be there so they know how to appeal. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:38, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Unappealable filters are generally speaking, so precise that no one minus the intended target will be huffed. For example, filter 44 setects one specific website, and filter 66 detects one of 4 banned usernames. Unappealable means "the ip is banned for 3 months without talk page access". Basically, it's only when the likelihood of false positives is absolutely zero that it can be unappealable. That's why the more "general" filters, such as Viagra spam, are meant to be appealable. Blocked users can both request an unblock via freeform request or via the unblock template if it is appealable. Hopefully this clears things up.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:47am  January 12, 2021

What are the 4 banned usernames? What is the website? I am curious as I can't see them myself. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:58, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

So.... the website in question that's banned, not mentioning the TLD, is 17ebook; the banned usernames are SteffenSchoenhei, FlorenceMcClinto, TeresitaKnowlton, and EricaFitzgibbons. The first one, SteffenSchoenhei, hit the filter a grand total of 37 times so far (that's 37 IPs blocked!), so this is essentially the equivalent of an LTA filter on Wikipedia.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:51am  January 12, 2021

So, some abuse filters can have false positives(so therefore appealable), and a few are so narrow there is no collateral. But why aren't obvious users like "IAmASpamBot" or "Spambot" aren't blocked. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 19:56, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

It's because I, as well as most admins, tend to use a reactive approach to abuse filter creation, instead of a proactive one: instead of preventing all spambots before they can hit the filter, which takes much longer, new rules are created in order to fight back every extra spambot. So few spambots attempt to create "obvious" spambot accounts, choosing to all go with pseudo-real life nmaes (almost MLM style). Therefore, whenever a spambot somehow manages to slip past the filter, another rule is written to prevent that type of spambot from coming back; that's how the Viagra with cyanide, Academic fraud, and many other filters were born.  Cassandra  (talk) 08:16pm  January 12, 2021

"EricaFitzgibbons" is a real name of a doctor, and 17ebooks is a very dangerous website. But why those 4 names, and not other real names? I'm confused. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 20:33, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

It's simply because those came up most often in the abuse log, back when a filter disabling real-life-like names was active. Nowadays, the filter is basically no longer useful at all simply bevause of how Zombiebaron chose to disable the long name filter, which asked users to message an admin to have an account created under such a username. For short: once again, it's based on reactive measures.  Cassandra  (talk) 09:08pm  January 12, 2021

No reason to rush it either. I'll put a reminder on a few user's pages as well. ShabiDOO 20:01, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedian of the Year says "Winner will be announced... uh... the end of January maybe? Details are sketchy at this point."

I'm probably going to end it on February 7th... that's the first Sunday of February, and as such most people whom have already voted Top 10 '20 will get to see the results of the vote.

BLP

Ok, so you said I could only revert edits/QVFD articles that are blatant spam, advertising or vandalism. What about BLP? Yea this is a humour encyclopedia, but shouldn't we take care. (And if not, please huff Template: uw-biog1, Template:uw-biog2, Template: Uw-biog3, Template: uw-biog4 and template: uw-biog4im.) --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Gale5050, we're here to write comedy, not policy. We do not have the same legal concerns as Wikipedia. Almost every single article we have about a living person contains a plethora of what they call BLP violations. We call them jokes. MrX blow me 23:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

TL;DR: If it's a BLP and it has no humor whatsoever, OR only has an {{infobox person}} with no other text, it counts as spam. However, if it is a genuine attempt to talk about a person in a humorous light, then ask me or another UN:AA for an ICU or construction tag instead.  Cassandra  (talk) 11:11pm  January 18, 2021

Sorry wrong templates for you to huff lemme fix. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

And what I meant was more on the lines of "grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material". Not ordinary BLP(that's encouraged), but severe. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Severe BLPs, of course. Especially self-promotional ones. In three words: fuck those spambots.  Cassandra  (talk) 11:17pm  January 18, 2021

I don't understand. What constitutes "grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material" that we wouldn't allow on here? MrX blow me 23:34, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

"In September 2017, Trump f**ked with Hurricane Maria, causing it to steer away from the US and hit Puerto Rico", while it is somewhat funny, is also extremely degrading. On Wikipedia, it would be revision deleted under RD2. Yes this isn't wikipedia but it still shouldn't be allowed to stand. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:52, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

I feel that should absolutely be allowed to stand. What article is that in? MrX blow me 23:54, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll give a short answer: if it attacks another user, or derives its humor from a means so unrealistic and nonhumorous that it could be considered insulting to people who normally would laugh at such a thing, it probably is part of that. So... for the statement Gale said, it could be rewritten as: "Trump threw a tantrum so loud that it forcibly steered Hurricane Maria towards Puerto Rico, and away from the continental United States."  Cassandra  (talk) 11:57pm  January 18, 2021

Ah, ok. And just as a quick side note, Maria did bring 40mph winds to NC and killed 4 due to rip currents.--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC) The message was actually posted at 23:59, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

I definitely understand not attacking another user, but I feel like sentences similar to that Trump Hurricane Maria thing are all over Uncyc, even those about people/events that resulted in tragedies. MrX blow me 00:05, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

It's Uncyclopedia. If the article is redeemable, changing it is always better than deletion. Even though we're anti-stub, in a way, existing articles shouldn't be huffed lest a good reason exists.  Cassandra  (talk) 12:11am  January 19, 2021

And see my Wikipedia contributions! 16:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll look into it now. It might take some time (I'm kind of busy right now), but if a warning is warranted I'll probably leave one (most likely a L3 or L4).  Cassandra  (talk) 04:25pm  January 19, 2021

Changing someone else's words is bad faith. MrX blow me 17:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Agreed. I'm still trying to "go preventative than punitive", so I threw in a L3 warning. Further violations on Gale's end will result in even more sanctions and/or temp blocks.  Cassandra  (talk) 05:28pm  January 19, 2021

Sorry if I missed something, is there an age requirement here? And for the record, that user page did not state that anyone was a minor by any definition that I'm aware of. Either way, is this user page a problem? MrX blow me 18:05, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Probably yeah. Please enable email so I can tell you without posting publically. Teenager = minor. I’ll request oversight on his WP page. Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 18:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Tell me what? Teenager does not always mean minor. And Gale5050, you've been well aware of Whytheonlyone's user page for a long time. MrX blow me 18:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Yeah but I didn’t notice it. You’re right and it should be RevDeled. Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 18:14, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Again, listen. I did not say that it should be revdeled, I'm simply asking. And I do not believe that you didn't notice it. You made a very minor edit near the bottom of the infobox. I do not believe that you didn't notice an entire item near the top. MrX blow me 18:16, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll just state it real quick: Uncyclopedia does not have any de jure age requirement. However, its contents are de facto 13+, 16+ or 18+ depending on the page. Disclosing your age is a very bad idea, anywhere on the internet, so as such I would strongly recommend avoiding doing so. The only use I can really see for putting your age on the internet is on dating sites. And yeah, revdeling now.  Cassandra  (talk) 06:49pm  January 19, 2021

Actually, granted how the page has not been tinkered with in quite some time, I'll ask them via talk page. It's not illegal to share your age on Uncyclopedia. It's just not recommended.  Cassandra  (talk) 06:54pm  January 19, 2021

Of the Year awards

Yo, sorry to keep pestering you, and I hope this doesn't look like I'm campaigning for votes, but Uncyclopedia:Writer of the Year is fully protected so only admins can vote. Also, while that award project page and Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedian of the Year both say that the winners will be announced at the end of January probably/maybe, perhaps we could make them both end February 8th? In line with the Top 10? Just some thoughts. Cheers. MrX blow me 20:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

I have deleted the page. However, I feel that a ban wouldn't be appropriate as per UN:BITE (it's the first time they performed this specific type of thing), so I left them a reminder (L2 equiv) instead.  Cassandra  (talk) 09:26pm  January 20, 2021

Ok, lets hope they stop, or else pretty soon an L4 is gonna need to be dropped. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 22:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia often blocks by the fifth warning... I think 4 times is fair enough by Uncyclopedian standards. We'll see how it goes.  Cassandra  (talk) 11:27pm  January 20, 2021

On Wikipedia, normally it is L1, L2, L3, L4, block. Sometimes a level is skipped. In this case, this is there 3rd/4th warning. Therefore, I believe that an L3 or L4 is necessary. They were already given a final warning by Hipponias, so an L2 is definitely a little leniant. I will be monitoring there contributions. They are definitely pushing a ban. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:04, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Creating pages like what they created is a very common noob mistake, so I'll let it slip. If a truly repeating pattern of vandalism develops, I'll leave a stern warning, and if it continues I'll proceed with any means necessary.  Cassandra  (talk) 12:36am  January 21, 2021

How to add things with CSS

How should I add something into a page with custom CSS? I actually know little about CSS. I only know how to mess up a page with it. And, for making a custom CSS for Newpedia layout, I need to add things onto the page. --Jabberwock (talk) 11:43, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I code a bit and I'm pretty sure you can't add HTML elements to a page with pure css. You'll need Javascript for that (although I don't know how). ~ Hipponias^CUN - Talk - Contribs - Articles  11:56, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Well, I think that common.css could specify to not show anything with a specific CSS class, and then your skin (in a CSS file) can instruct to override that... and then you can use div and span elements, defining its class to the hidden one.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:40pm  January 21, 2021

Uw-spambot

I was thinking making a new template, uw-spambot. This would be the equivalent of a Level 4, where if it’s a false positive, we’d see. Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 15:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, it's typically unnecessary since spambots are generally one-hit-KO'd for 3 months (IP addresses) or infinite (registered new users). I just updated {{Uw-spam4im}} for Uncyclopedia, so feel free to use that as an alternative. Additionally, I feel that adding such a template would be difficult, since it would require modifying Redwarn. However, since there ARE scenarios where it may be needed, especially with users with more than 10 edits having their accounts compromised, I copied the aforementioned template to Template:Uw-spambot; feel free to modify it as needed.  Cassandra  (talk) 03:28pm  January 21, 2021

Yes, but in a case like Jarl Jensen, it may be appropriate to do that as they may not know its bad. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 18:55, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Alrighty. I feel like most cases of spam that do make it through the filter are human spambots, in which case uw-spam 1 through 4 make more sense (with 4im for egregious cases).  Cassandra  (talk) 10:05pm  January 21, 2021

How did this edit break the syntax? Furthermore, Gale5050, I thought you had been told very specifically that you are forbidden from using the revert function, except for cases of clear vandalism, etc. This edit, which you reverted, was not clear vandalism, nor did it literally destroy the entire page, as you falsely asserted with your edit summary. MrX blow me 23:41, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

It did, it ruined the whole page. Therefore it was most likely an exception(not as vandalism, but we can't have syntax errors). I forgot to realize that theerrors existed before, but it certaintly helped.--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 02:00, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

From what I can see, the latter edit on Spontaneous death syndrome appears to be one of name-calling, which is a (subtle) form of vandalism; as for the edit on PETA (group), I did not revert it since it was "broken syntax"; I only allowed it to happen because it seemed "out of place", at least in its current wording. The edit summary, however, is a blatant exaggeration, and for that, I'll have to issue an informal warning: please ensure that if you are using an edit summary, it is accurate.

Forum:Proposal to institute term lengths for admins

So, I got a question. For anything to be successful, does it need

1. A majority (50%) of the votes in favor
2. A majority of all votes to be in favor
3. Something more like 60 or 75% in favor.

I have confused myself and probably everyone reading it, so please clarify at Forum:Proposal to institute term lengths for admins#Closing. Thank you. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:09, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I would go with a special vote for this, because of how notable this change is. Currently, Uncyclopedia varies between 50%, 50% plus something (e.g. 50% + 5 for VFH), and 66% (de-sysop). I think I'll implement a ranked-choice voting system for these circumstances, granted the importance of such a vote.  Cassandra  (talk) 11:29pm  January 24, 2021

Regarding your comment, I strongly disagree we should have 2 years overe something like 4 years, because 4 years has more support, even if it wasn't in the initial proposal. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:32, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

We have always gone with the option with the most votes. If you want to change how we do things, then start a new forum and propose it. This isn't a huge change. Expecting an admin to make one edit a year is not a monumental requirement and at worst a few people who haven't showed up in three years will have to apply again for adminship. You don't need to start a new forum. Just let people keep voting where they have been voting, and Gale, please listen. It is extremely easy to reopen a forum page after inactivity. ShabiDOO 12:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Something wrong with Gale5050

On Gale5050's talk page, I asked him about his age. Then he quickly deleted my message.

Then I quoted you. Now the bottom of his talk page looks like this.

--Jabberwock (talk) 00:25, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Stop revealing personal information. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Jabberwock: Howdy. I think Gale removed it because disclosing your age on the internet is, generally speaking, a terrible idea; I will admit that he did remove it in a slightly "impolite" manner though. Don't take it personally - it's primarily for your own online safety. There might be creeps out there - the administrators are always attempting to fight back, by blocking them and contacting authorities if and when necessary, but there's nothing they can do to stop everyone whom attempts to, y'know, put others in danger. As such, I would strongly recommend that you play it safe online. Remember, Uncyclopedia cares about your safety! (Well, at least more than American police officers tend to.)  Cassandra  (talk) 12:41am  January 25, 2021

And about Gale... he has been in trouble, well, more often than the average Uncyclopedian. I'm keeping an eye out, and have already issued sanctions in order to ensure that Gale can continue to contribute positively to the encyclopedia without disrupting the flow of things. If you ever feel in danger or something, just let me or another admin know.  Cassandra  (talk) 12:43am  January 25, 2021

Cassie, did you mean to put that in the below section? --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Gale5050's sanctions, again, I know, I'm sorry

Cassie, I know how annoying this must be for you, and I'm sorry that you have to deal with this, but with this edit, or more specifically the edit summary, Gale5050 is literally saying that he doesn't care about his sanctions. I'd like to remind everyone that the whole reason Gale5050 ended up in the Flammable's Office in the first place was because of his near-complete inability to distinguish for himself what is and is not disruptive editing. He was also told very plainly that he should not be welcoming or warning users. He acknowledged that. But as you know, he is once again doing both, often being incorrect with his warnings. I know we don't want to lose someone who is enthusiastic and could potentially be a valuable contributor here, but given how cocky he has gotten, saying that the sanctions don't matter, I don't see how another warning or tightening of the sanctions could help. I think Gale5050 needs a short ban. I don't think 1 day is enough, I think something like 3-7 days will give him the time he needs to reflect on how he communicates and deals with others here. Thank you for all your help. MrX blow me 00:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Isn't there an IAR to some extent. If you want to be honest, why have a worse uncyclopedia just when you're tangled up. To be honest, they should restrict my edits, not my work, because it's denying good contributions while I am at it. And MrX-start using edit summaries. They exist for a reason. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Please give me some time whilst I find a good way to continue enabling Gale to contribute to the encyclopedia without causing excessive trouble. The current sanctions are definitely not strict enough, but a long ban isn't warranted either.  Cassandra  (talk) 12:46am  January 25, 2021

I have a proposal. What if

• I am not necessarily banned from any category, but
  1. I am on 0RR for edits that aren't a clear test/vandalism/spam/promo material/obvious copyvio(but I must provide the link to the original source)
  2. If I cause disruption on any page, I am indefinitely banned from editing that page
  3. If I'm reverted, I must start a TP discussion for it to be re-enabled, and I can't edit the page till I do so.
  4. Any UN:BAN violation committed will have quadroople the length, as in something normally worth a month ban is now 4 months

Instead of keeping it all at UN:OFFICE, we link a page User: Gale5050/Sanctions to it, that is fully protected.

--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Cassie, by all means take your time, but please consider that Gale5050 already violates his sanctions as if he has carte blanche to do so, and you know I’m not the only one who has suggested a short ban (3-7 days is not long). MrX blow me 01:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I have considered all means necessary, and as such, have chosen to go with an effective ban with limited exceptions on site editing on Gale5050. Gale is now effectively limited to editing a very limited selection of pages, and I have added a special provision stating that if any violations are brought to my attention by another user (e.g. MrX), instead of me or another admin bringing it to my attention, Gale will be blocked for double the block times that I have specified within the sanctions. I have also removed rollback rights. I know that it may seem like a very light punishment at first, but this is effectively a final "don't fuck up". The sanctions may be viewed at User talk:Cassie/Gale5050 sanctions. I am not quite blocking Gale5050 just yet, because that will effectively entirely prohibit Gale from contributing, but since I know that going light won't work anymore, here we are.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:17am  January 25, 2021

Question

There are some missing holes in User talk: Cassie/Gale5050 sanctions(which please btw full protect). So, let me get this straight.

1. I cannot edit any VFD
2. Am I allowed to revert obvious vandalism/spam and all that?
3. I cannot edit others talkpages?
4. What about other forum discussions? I assume if there is an issue I can ask you to open a forum?
5. If a forum is created per request, I can edit it, right?

I want to clear everything up so I don't accidentally violate my sanctions. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:19, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

No editing or adding schenanigans to VFD, no reverting spam (even if clear and unambigious), no editing other user and article talkpages (for now), no editing forums (for now), basically nothing minus what has been specified. I really have no choice but to take a stricter approach. I will restore at least some of these rights if you demonstrate good conduct over the course of the next few weeks though. I would've blocked you too, but I chose not to, in the hopes that you're able to comply with the rules. Noncompliance WILL result in blocks. Quoting another admin, "$10 bucks says Gale5050 will get banned forever within the next 3 months".  Cassandra  (talk) 12:00am  January 25, 2021

Oh ok. Now it makes sense. Probably will need to find another wiki...--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Gale5050: Don't worry. Just behave, and you'll get to stay here pretty much forever. I do not want you to be blocked; I'm threatening to do it (and might have to eventually do it) out of necessity, and because other users are pretty much unanimously requesting it. If you wish for advice on how to be more cooperative in a wiki environment, please let me know, and I could introduce you more formally to Uncyclopedia's wikiquette.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:30am  January 25, 2021

For some reason, pings on me literally don't work. I don't know why. Yes, please do introduce me to it. I think that the only way to possibly get it appealed slowly(and yes, it will be slowly)is after a few weeks of good behavior and reduced editing. Please leave it on my user talk so I see it. I will probably log out on my computer and stay logged in on my phone to help reduce editing. I will slowly detatch myself. I am way to addicted. Also, who said "$10 bucks says Gale5050 will get banned forever within the next 3 months"?--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm unsure, weird. I'll try my best to introduce you to better wiki practices over the course of the next few weeks; I'm kind of tired right now so I can't really do so right now, but I would be happy to help. It's fine to reduce your editing; staying on Uncyclopedia and continuing some editing (especially on your Interstate articles, they are pretty good!), albeit in moderation, would be a good idea. It's fine to be addicted to Uncyclopedia, I would say that basically every admin on this site has been like this at one point. And as for that admin whom stated that, I'm unsure if it would be correct for me to say this, but... it's Sir Frosty. They're fairly inactive though, so I'm unsure if they are truly aware of what's going on on Uncyclopedia. Well, it's getting late... I'm logging off now.

Yes, that is fine, "Anything in own userpage and subpages" is one of the points specified that you are allowed to edit. Sorry you didn't like the edit, and thanks for wording it like that, but obviously I thought I was helping you out. I understand if you like the template that Jabberwock added for you, but at first glance it looked he was intruding your user page. MrX blow me 14:45, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Button

Is there any way for me to make a button in an article that hides or shows some text when someone clicks it? --Jabberwock (talk) 02:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Generally speaking for that, looking at Template:Collapse top and Template:Collapse bottom would be a great way. You just have to adjust the "expand/collapse" text to be centered, and then throw it into a div element that looks like a button. Sorry, I don't have any time to create a specific example for this, but hopefully you should be able to figure it out! If you need any help just message me and I'll get back to you tomorrow.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:50am  January 27, 2021

What I really want to do is to insert a piece of Javascript in the code so that the buttons can do more complicated things. I want to make an UnGame based on that.--Jabberwock (talk) 05:51, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Still, thank you very much! I used Template:Collapse top's technique for Newstyle templates Sex and Dildo. I think they look better now. --Jabberwock (talk) 06:57, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately, MediaWiki security stuff makes it so that it's impossible to embed javascript in articles, templates, etc. I would recommend attempting to solely use CSS if possible, since there are no restrictions on that. If you're using the expand to hide the "expand" tag, you can force the "expand for more" text into a div class, and when uncollapsed, hides. I'm not 100% sure how to do that though. Sorry.  Cassandra  (talk) 09:56am  January 27, 2021

I used my custom JS to mess up my view of Uncyclopedia, though. document.getElementById("n-contents").innerHTML = "<a href='/wiki/Uncyclopedia_is_the_worst'>Fuck Uncyclopedia</a>";

The thing is, it requires changing userscript JS, or otherwise, common.js. Feel free to tinker around with your user JS, and once you think it could be deployed for everyone, feel free to message me so I can see if it works. I'm not capable of writing in Javascript, unfortunately, so I can't really help you much for that. Sorry!  Cassandra  (talk) 01:50pm  January 28, 2021

JJPMaster gave a for and against vote on Forum: Proposal to institute term limits for admins Part 2-if that is not allowed, you should clarify; if it is you should clarify. Thanks. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 21:35, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

It says you are allowed to cast one for and one against for this vote. As I understand it, JJPMaster didn't do anything wrong, and nothing else needs to be done. If I'm mistaken, then yes, please clarify. Cheers. MrX blow me 21:44, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

It really depends on how it is viewed, MrX. WHich is why he is here to clarify. Cheers, --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 23:00, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

That is correct. I wanted to create some sort of a ranked-choice voting system, but allowing 3 total votes would just mean that everyone would vote +3 for their preferred choice. I'll ask everyone on the Discord to cast one FOR and one AGAINST vote specifically for this purpose, at it allows for basically "one choice I really want" and "one choice I don't really want", in a way.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:48pm  January 28, 2021

Orchids

Cassie could you please withdraw the orchids nomination? Thanks ShabiDOO 13:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

'Tis done. If you ever need help to enhance your articles further, just let me know!  Cassandra  (talk) 01:52pm  January 28, 2021

If it is a collaborative article like Orchids then you are super welcome to contribute (go ahead and make edits). If it's my own article, then barring minor edits, by all means leave feedback on the talk page :) ShabiDOO 14:27, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Please delete Hurricane Dorian

Per the equivalent of R2. We shouldn't lead Uncyclopedian readers into articles that are currently under construction. Also please delete Cyclone Eloise and UnNews:Cyclone Eloise, as not only did it score poor in a PeeReview, it literally got a 4 in concept. Thank you. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 19:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll be taking care of all of the above requested now. Don't hesitate to write any new articles you want (about things other than hurricanes, interstates, etc.) in your userspace; nothing within your parole rules forbids you from writing an unrelated article there, and then asking me to have it moved to mainspace. Also, by the way, I've updated your parole conditions to permit you to edit Forum:Coun:::t to a million. Have a good day,  Cassandra  (talk) 07:56pm  January 29, 2021

Can I also edit Template: CTAM?--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 20:03, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Sure! I'll put that into the parole conditions just to codify it.  Cassandra  (talk) 08:10pm  January 29, 2021

And also, can you archive Forum: Count to a million? It's getting extremely long. Maybe archive everything before 300,000(the sections 252,253 and death?)--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 20:12, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I think I'll archive everything as soon as the calendar says February (the month ends in two days) instead. It'll make more sense to cut it then.  Cassandra  (talk) 08:15pm  January 29, 2021

Ok but make sure to do it as close to 0000 UTC as possible. And maybe leave a number just to symbolize archival happened.--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 20:20, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Alrighty, I won't forget. Additionally, I'll be archiving my talk page and changing my userpage skin at the turn of the month, so don't be surprised if it happens.  Cassandra  (talk) 09:00pm  January 29, 2021

Yeah and good thing ya didn't archive it yet, as people literally boosted us to 400,000. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 22:50, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh Template:USERNAME, why do you exist?  Cassandra  (talk) 09:12pm  January 29, 2021

Because Template:USERNAME is the greatest invention since sliced bread :) MrX blow me 21:14, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

No, I think that sliced bread is infinitely better than Template:USERNAME, because sliced bread at least has flour, unlike Template:USERNAME, who only has sugar. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 21:17, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

True, but that template just makes me smile more! MrX blow me 06:26, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Please clear

Out VFP. Lots of old noms. If the consensus is obvious and it ran for a while, please either feature or say its not featured, but some have been out for nearly a year. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 22:54, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I've featured two images from the list and huffed many ones with few, zero or negative votes. VFP is basically the shit-dump of Uncyclopedia's "still-active" voting pages.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:54am  January 30, 2021

Request

I know I am banned from editing forums, but I wanna say, for thr forum on new usergroups, I do oppose template protection/template editor and support extended confirmed. Also, I believe that there should be abusefilter helper, but I also believe(please add this)that there should be

1. Pending changes reviewer and pending changes protection, when both good and bad edits come from IPs
2. Interface administrators, trusted admins who can edit the interface if the main user can't, and
3. A seperate page mover permission(to be split from rollback)

Thanks,--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:14, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

(btw, how do you get the time on the sig, just wondering?)--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:14, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

• I've added your votes on behalf of you onto the forum, for template-prot, extended-confirmed and abusefilter helper. Interface administration rights come bundled with new installs of MediaWiki since version 1.32, but since Uncyclopedia was upgraded to this version from a prior version, it isn't a feature here. I would be willing to start a seperate forum thread following the current vote (which ends Feb. 8) for discussing the possibility of pending changes, interface administration and a split page mover permission; however, I do feel like putting page-mover permission with extended confirmed would be a good way to simplify things to some degree.

• As for the date in my signature, it uses two parser functions: {{#time:h:ia|}} and {{#time:F j, Y|}}. One invokes the time (in hr:min with AM/PM), whilst the other invokes the date (MDY in my case). The date still has to be manually inputted, but by integrating these parser functions into a template, it becomes much easier to use. Hope that helped!  Cassandra  (talk) 02:07am  January 30, 2021

Can't we implement PCR by simply forcing politely asking Lyrithya to install FlaggedRevs? JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 02:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

I would assume yes, but that would be complicated, since it probably entails more bureaucracy. However, if enough people (including Lyrithya) are on board, we could probably set it up in a similar fashion to Wikipedia, albeit I doubt that it's necessary since we generally use semi-protection much more liberally than the aforementioned website parodying Uncyclopedia.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:30am  January 30, 2021

I don't think that is necessary here. We don't have nearly the volume of edits that the parody has, and so PCR and Flagged revs are just something that would shake things up with no perceived benefit. I voted for adding the extended confirmed user group because I believe all we have to do is add the group, add the protection option for admins protecting pages, and everything else goes on (please correct me if I'm wrong). But if we start also saying we should also have flagged revs and pending changes reviewers, I think that just creates a whole nother mess that doesn't help Uncyc. That's my 2 cents. MrX blow me 06:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok, Cassie, can you carry that over to the forum, saying MrX is against it for PCR? --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 13:17, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll slip that in. MrX against, Gale5050 for.  Cassandra  (talk) 04:15pm  January 30, 2021

Please carry this reasoning for for as well. "Because even though we have more liberal semi protection, it hinders on IPs. I think this should be part of the rollbacker usergroup if consensus is not strong enough to make a group but there is consensus to add it."--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 16:39, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll slip that in now. Thanks for telling me!  Cassandra  (talk) 08:09pm  January 30, 2021

Wait, doesn't the interface admin group already exist (Special:ListGroupRights#interface-admin), barring the fact that it only has one member? JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 22:37, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

It does. Still, here are the enwiki permissions and why we don't have it(I'll transclude something in my userspace shortly). --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Here are wikipedia permissions that don't exist on uncyclopedia and why.

1. Patroller(aka new page reviewer)-already included in rollback
2. Pending changes reviewer IMO we should have it, but semi protection is used too much. Could be blended in with rollback, or something else
3. Extended confirmed This could be quite useful, and it may be implemented with the forum.
4. Page mover The suppressredirect is already in rollback, so no need.
5. Template editor No need. Only a few people would have access anyways. Totally unneeded.
6. Edit filter helper This may be implemented to allow suggestions to be improved, and the use of uw-spambot. However, I just do not know.
7. File mover I believe in rollback, but it may be granted. Personally, I am neutral if there should be a file mover with those rules.
8. Edit filter manager Included in administrator
9. Oversight I just do not knowwwwwww.....
10. Importer What the hell are we gonna import from?
11. Mass message sender Do not have the capabilities for it.
12. Account creator ACC not existent on Uncyclopedia. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:35, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Amongst all of the above, extended confirmed definitely remains the most critical thing. Most "more popular" featured pages would not need to be fully protected if extended protection was a possibility.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:34am  January 31, 2021

Personally, I think EC is not as necessary as like PCR; cause semi is used way to much and denies IPs too many contribs. I also think edit filter helper is very important. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm personally neutral or slightly for when it comes to pendingchanges; it does make things a little more complicated, overall, but if anyone with autoconfirmed is able to approve pending edits from IPs, it would be a fine way to loosen restrictions on some articles, especially less-popular FAs. Implementing it would really depend on whether other admins here approve, but unfortunately, most of them are fairly inactive, only choosing to hang out on Uncyclopedia's Discord server. Normally Uncyclopedia's abuse filter is "completely out of sight", so edit filter helper (read-only access to all filters) would also be something that should be implemented, in my opinion, but I'm unsure whether it should only give access to public filters or public+private.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:41am  January 31, 2021

This should be brought up in a forum, if there is consensus. IMO if there is +2 votes or more, it can be closed as successful. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 01:48, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Alrighty. I'm unsure if it will go into the current vote or no, but I might just announce it on the Discord server in order to encourage the inactive admins to vote. If it ends up between 2 and 5 votes, I might need to convince Lyrithya about it, because I'm not a sysadmin.  Cassandra  (talk) 01:55am  January 31, 2021

Yeah but she'd probably due it per consensus, signed --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 2:05 am Jan 31 2021 (just trying something new)

Well, I hope it works! Nice sig, by the way; if you want it to autoformat you can create a userspace template that invokes one of those time parser functions.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:24am  January 30, 2021

I like my old one better. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 02:40, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Usually the default works fairly well. I like using my sig mainly for manual date formatting.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:46am  January 31, 2021

Protection requests

Note that I have set the protection requests to be at a subpage (/protection requests), in order to avoid RedWarn from saying that there already is a request, given that I think if there even is a link to it, it will not work. Please watch it for fun. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 02:51, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Alrighty, thank you! I'll modify it tomorrow in order to integrate it with my (upcoming) user page archiving and redesign.  Cassandra  (talk) 02:57am  January 31, 2021

Request 2

I know I can't leave comment on VFH, but for this one I ask for just a one time exception, so that I can reply to Shabidoo's concern. If not, tell me so I can ask you what to copy over instead. Thanks. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 17:34, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Gale, there is a reason why your comments are being limited in general. Try to respect the restrictions placed on your account. There is no pressing need to comment on a comment unless it is particularly unfair or unreasonable (which in this case it is not)...so in this case, not only do you not need to leave a comment, you don't need to ask an admin to post a comment either. ShabiDOO 18:19, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

First of all its important second of all that was for sanction evasion though I will admit its kinda proxying @Shabidoo:.--Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 18:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Gale...posting in the comment section is clearly forbidden in your sanctions. Asking an admin to post one is simply evading the sanctions AND bother an admin. The sooner you respect these sanctions, the sooner they will be lifted.ShabiDOO 19:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately I do not believe that the need is urgent or the vote, important enough to grant you an exception (as I did with the forum on page protection). However, feel free to leave your comment here, directly {{re|}}-ing Shabidoo in the process, if you wish to tell them about your possible concerns concerning Shabidoo's concern.  Cassandra  (talk) 07:48pm  January 31, 2021

@Shabidoo: At peeReview, it was proposed to VFH. It probably doesn'thave those "huh" moments, because it got a 44.5. Therefore I feel concerns addressed. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 19:55, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

You mentioned that already in the VFH that it had a high score, and no Gale that is not an important enough reason to try to evade a sanction. A pee review is just one user's opinion. That doesn't affect my vote (nor should it affect anyone else's). A pee review carries no special weight except a motivation to nominate something, not to compel others to vote for it. A pee review is simply constructive criticism to help a writer improve the article. ShabiDOO 21:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, true, true, true, true. Ok, (1) the sanction evasion was not here, but (2), a high score means good article. I think it could be featured. I will ping Template:Yo, who gave it a 44.5. It wouldn't get that high if those errors are s severe as you say. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 00:38, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Please change your block rationale on User:206.41.173.108

You forgot how to spell! In any case, if the spam isn't that bad, it may be better to AGF and issue uw-spambot. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 17:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Yep.

The spam was pretty bad, and I checked via the abuse log; that spambot spammed 149 times the same damn thing. Therefore, no mercy. (And I'll keep the typo just for the sake of it. Spambots love putting typos, so why not imitate them.)  Cassandra  (talk) 07:51pm  January 31, 2021

I feel uw-spambot may be used more often when abuse filter helper comes out. --Gale5050 complain about me! And see my Wikipedia contributions! 19:59, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Proposal: Turn "sulti-mpam" into a meme. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 20:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Deal. And well, the spam is very blatant, so I feel, usually one-hit knockouts do the job most of the time, especially when the spam is of a pornographic nature (as it is), or a commercial one. I feel like BP is going to become quite crowded in the future... as for uw-spambot, it would be very useful for human spammers that act like bots, since robot spambots generally never read their talkpages.  Cassandra  (talk) 08:03pm  January 31, 2021

What is wrong with your signature?

I noticed that your signature is written as User:Cassie/19:49, 31 January 2021 (UTC)~... so... what are you doing? Are you trying to sign with six apostrophes or something? JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 19:49, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Whoopsies. I meant to say: {{User:Cassie/s|~~~~~}}.  Cassandra  (talk) 07:51pm  January 31, 2021

I'm trying to make a styled date too, but I can't stop the default mediawiki date from showing up behind my custom date. Is there a way to suppress it? ~ Hipponias^CUN - Talk - Contribs - Articles  21:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

The thing, is, you cannot use ~~~~; signing manually using a template which exclusively shows your siganture, followed by one that renders the date (or both combined into one) should do.  Cassandra  (talk) 09:26pm  January 31, 2021

I had to override it and add a new name, "foobar", to the blacklist, because Zombiebaron is also covered by an abuse filter (I want to test the blacklist w/o the abuse filter). I'll try it with a VPN in a moment (I've created too many accounts recently in order to be able to create another one using my current IP, ironically enough).  Cassandra  (talk) 10:01pm  January 31, 2021

Three things

1. Please archive this and the count to a million forum.
2. Please sign some VFP nominations as someone forgot to do it, and please issue DoctorJones an uw-tilde warning
