I suspect that this IP address is being operated by Svex, since this person's sole edit is similar to the kinds of edits Svex does.  Fenris2010 the moccasin-wearing Grue ^{You hear growling...} 13:18, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

@Fenris2010: You mean the IP that created Undictionary:Colage? I can't really see the resemblance, ngl. That svex guy often makes more gibberish articles, often referencing space, specific locations, and underage girls in white dresses. This article lacks any of those three. Also, svex often makes less stubby articles. And if it truly was svex, that same IP would've already threatened someone to kill themselves (like the previous svex sockpuppet did). DaniPine3 (talk) 13:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Maybe it's not Svex, but I still feel like this IP might turn out to be a vandal.  Fenris2010 the moccasin-wearing Grue ^{You hear growling...} 13:43, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Idk, they have only made a single edit, and doesn't seem to be the kind of stuff vandals do. The reason why it seems to be gibberish is probably because whoever did it doesn't have much knowledge on English language, not because they wanted to be a genuine vandal. DaniPine3 (talk) 13:49, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah it doesn't look like Svex, but that article was in need of at least an ICU tag. MrX blow me 13:51, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh, you blocked Walbro...

I was genuenly interested what Walbro was typing about, with the whole "I'm a dead man" and "you're all going to die" and "find the island" thing. But I guess we'll never find the island now, and the Walbropocalypse will consume all of Uncyclopedia. Oh noes! DaniPine3 (talk) 19:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I'm assuming it was just drunk rambling like it usually is with him, his story was never going to end, but still not as disappointing as that other island story. MrX blow me 21:47, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, now that I have the opportunity to ask, what's with that guy? I thought that Walbro had only been on this site since 2021, but then I learnt that apparently that user's been here way longer than that. How many years has Walbro been a member of Uncyclopedia? DaniPine3 (talk) 22:15, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I am actually not sure. Apparently he edited under the name User:Wolverhampton (or perhaps something similar) for a long time, mostly trolling/vandalizing. Then he kinda tried to come back as a legitimate editor as User:Walbro, but he eventually just started being a douche again. The page SLAPPALLAPPA LAPPALLAPPA CACATONEDITUCAN is his work and/or a tribute to him, it was almost featured, and we might have even changed the skin of the entire site to “Wolverpedia” for a few days back in 2020. Some of the older guys like Kippy, PF4Eva, and Zombiebaron can tell you more about him. MrX blow me 23:29, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I'M ALIVE MOTHERFUCKERS

I graduated on August 23rd, currently at AIT for my job training. Hopefully I can get back to editing, though I don't have my laptop, so it will probably be more scare until I get back home. I've missed you guys and Uncyclopedia. Looking forward to getting back into it. Bad Motherfucker GET FUCKED! 16:06, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Fuck yeah!! Thank you and congrats!! Missed you too! MrX blow me 22:12, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I believe this was in the mainspace at one point, why not make this the article for Xi Jinping? WPBS (talk) 18:07, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Idk, I'd say it needs a bit more work in my opinion, though I'm happy to contribute. OranguTang94 (Complaint board) (Damage trail) 19:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@Orangutang94: That would be great! I'll see you there! WPBS (talk) 12:30, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah this article would be ICU'ed in mainspace, but as it says on the talk page, anyone is free to work on it. Kind of a shame that we don't have a solid article on Xi. MrX blow me 21:59, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I got a lot of free time this week, so me and Orangutang94 would probably get a good start on it. WPBS (talk) 12:30, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: Since you are talking about the Xi Jinping (is that how you write it?) article, I had a loose idea that it could double as the Winnie the Pooh article, as currently "Winnie the Pooh" redirects to an UnScript. Either making an article called "Winnie the Pooh" that is actually about Xi Jinping, or an article called "Xi Jinping" that is actually about Winnie the Pooh. Y'know, because of that joke.
An example I had in my mind is, "Winnie the Pooh is the protagonist of a Chinese folktale that tells the story of a communist regime ruled by an iron fist...", or something along those lines. DaniPine3 (talk) 12:37, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: Yeah, I was thinking something along the lines of that, either redirecting winnie the pooh to xi jinping, or vice versa WPBS (talk) 13:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, Xi Jinping is how you write his name. His surname or family name is Xi (these names come first in China), and his given name or whatever is Jinping. I also really like this idea! Hopefully I will have time to contribute as well. MrX blow me 15:04, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@WPBS go for it! I'm busy in the early part of the week but should have some time to chip in later. OranguTang94 (Complaint board) (Damage trail) 19:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

MrX raped by Magic Ponies

Doesn't this technically count as a vanity article?  Fenris2010 the moccasin-wearing Grue ^{You hear growling...} 00:43, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but it somehow managed to reach in-joke status. That was a long time ago, before I joined Uncyc. It was actually Mr-ex777 first. You could probably ask Cat the Colourful and Shabidoo more about it. MrX blow me 14:42, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Why did they change it to MrX if originally it was about that other Mr-ex? If the in-joke is already confusing, that just makes it even more confusing... DaniPine3 (talk) 14:50, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I wasn’t sure why, but I also felt honored. MrX blow me 16:44, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I was like, "wasn't this originally about Mr-ex777?" that's how I remembered it when I first joined lol WPBS (talk) 15:04, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

NSFW images

Are we allowed to upload and use files that contain some form of nudity? specifically the Drake leak? if you haven't seen it, its just a video of him jacking his dong for a good 10 seconds, it's rather grainy, but you can tell what's going on immediately (I'd recommend looking it up if you would like to get an idea, its not as bad as it sounds), anyway, are we allowed to upload a gif or an image of something like that? I was thinking of making a section about it in the Drake article, something along the lines of "pet snake" or "the leak", lmk if that's possible or if it has to be censored or something like that. WPBS (talk) 16:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: I don't think uploading that here is a good idea for 2 reasons:

1. Although Uncyclopedia has some NSFW images already, it'd be better to not upload a lot of of that kind of thing, considering little kids can perfectly enter this website and see that, scarring them for life.
2. That seems to be a rather private video that I doubt that Drake guy would want people to see. Even if the guy has done some rather questionable things, maybe posting that kind of content of him is going too far. Plus, he most likely would take legal action against this website if he ever saw it...

My suggestion is that you simply mention it on the Drake (musician) article but don't upload it. DaniPine3 (talk) 16:52, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, first off, it's not our responsibility to keep kids safe on the Internet. They can also just as easily (in many parts of the world) access a porn site. Fortunately it's relatively easy for parents to set controls on their devices.

As for this particular file, I agree with DaniPine that we probably shouldn't upload it here for a couple reasons. I'm not familiar with the pic/GIF/incident/story, but if it was a leak, then yeah there are some potential privacy/legal concerns (highly unlikely we'd ever be the target of a true legal threat, but still, and it's kind of a dick move). And while it sounds like it's not the most shocking image ever, it's dancing on the line between having comic value and being just pornographic in nature. So it's probably best not to upload it.

Also, if it was a leak, I think it might be even funnier to upload a different pic/GIF and say that this is Drake's infamous leaked image that caused a HUUUUGE uproar/scandal/whatever. But I am definitely open to others' opinions on this and the matter of whether or not the image can/should be uploaded here. MrX blow me 17:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, we have an image use policy, and it very clearly says that pornographic/shock/gore images that don't really serve any satirical purpose will be deleted without warning. I'm fairly certain a leaked image/video of Drake's penis wouldn't count as having a lot of satirical value. 17:30, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

And that's where it technically can get subjective: when does it have satirical value? Which yeah in this case I personally don't think it has that much, and I personally think we have funnier options. MrX blow me 17:46, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for my lateness to the party, but yeah I agree with Dani, on the grounds that it was a leak and its crossing a line because I doubt Drake would want it here, and he may take legal action, though its highly unlikely. I didn't realize this lol, I was wondering if we had to watch what we put on here because of kids, I know Wikipedia doesn't give af about that, anyway, thanks for the help guys! WPBS (talk) 13:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

... for getting rid of that annoying vandal before they started covering more pages with their vandalism. I don't know what their deal is; if you don't like swear words, go to a kid website or something, but don't censor swear words in a website they're completely permitted. Let's hope they don't come back... DaniPine3 (talk) 08:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

And thank you for reverting that crap! MrX blow me 21:51, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Sydney Opera House

(The edit, and more to follow later, in question - is usually tagged with 'Australia! 🇦🇺', where being an AustralianUser, I want to make pages that discuss a subject based in or about Australia, stand out with the template Australian.) However, a spam filter thinks I am attempting to advertise commercial content or products, when I simply want to enhance something written about my home country. What can be done to fix this pop up?

(You messaged me only a few hours ago - I am not sure whether it was an automated message or a consciously written one, only composed immediately after I joined this wiki.) Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 07:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Commuter3: Yea, the abuse filter is kind of crappy. You'll be able to bypass it the moment an admin turns you into an auto-confirmed user. However, you'll have to wait for an admin to come....
Btw, the message that was left at your talkpage is technically both manual and automated: Manual, because MrX had to manually write it on your talkpage; and automated, because all he had to do was insert the Welcome template, which is always given to new users. DaniPine3 (talk) 07:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

At the moment, I am currently searching for pages that interest me, especially those concerning world cities and other geographical, astronomical or other (social) scientific topics. Perhaps once I find more of these pages and edit a few more times, then wait a week, I will turn into an auto-confirmed user by then. [This response was also written from me myself, up until here: happy editing!] Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 07:34, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey Commuter. Yeah sorry about our stupid abuse filter. I made you a "confirmed user", so you shouldn't have any more trouble with it, but let me know if you do. And if you find anything missing from your list of interests (there's a lot missing), please feel free to create articles for them. Happy editing! MrX blow me 13:10, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

(I think this reply is hours late, as I was off reading Wikipedia instead:) I might start at Special:WantedPages, or target the category hierarchy to find topics of interest that I might want to focus on. However, certain redirects that show up in the search results seem outright misleading - for example, many (barely tangentially relevant) subjects ended up redirecting to Gay People, which would probably lead me astray when I start looking into my other topics of interest. Perhaps this might turn into the Wikipedia:Wiki_Game, where I end up trying to link my way back to the initial page: I also check through page histories to find old archived edits, so sometimes they might surface from years ago if I happen to particularly like these edits. But I tend to have a very short log-on period/very long down time when I am off reading the other wikis on the Internet. Still, I might come here to edit purely out of interest: and we can also talk more later. happy editing! Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 22:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Commuter3: A lot of pages redirect to "Gay People" because that's the joke. You'll find out that many pages that could be actual topics are simple redirects to a completely different page. And although sometimes it's true it'd be better to have an actual article on them; other times simplicity is much more efficient, and redirecting people to a page they weren't expecting to fall in is much funnier than having a really long article that most people will probably not read. For example, look up "curiosity", and see what you'll find... DaniPine3 (talk) 23:18, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Commuter3: (There's no such thing as a late reply here. Reply whenever you feel like it:) Start wherever you like, hit me up if I can help, and as for redirects, feel free to change them or even turn them into full articles. Have fun! MrX blow me 23:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3:#Starting at that page search, I eventually directly linked to the Category:Awesome, where among other pages of interest, I found File:Blue Ball Factory.gif, which led me to a user titled as the first 180 decimal places of π, and to a lot of potential user boxes that I could use back on Wikipedia! I might have to search through every name space, but I should eventually be able to archive everything that I find interesting, or copy it somewhere.

@MrX:#That might take me years to find the corresponding Wikipedia article and convert it into a humourous page, or extract out the most ludicrous details and place in barely relevant references to create some form of description that would read like nonsense to the next reader, but I can always start from the top at Special:AllPages, and navigate through all the links, or even change them up a bit, as with the wording of some sentences or paragraphs.

• Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 08:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC) , *Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 08:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC) .

@Commuter3: You don't need to use the "ping" template for an user you're directly talking to in their talkpage... Also, I can't deny I don't really know what you're talking about in the message you directly sent to me. I told you about why many pages redirect to "Gay People" and you anser me with something about the Awesome category and the Blue Ball Factory gif which I don't really know what the connection between the two topics is. You didn't even mention if you ended searching "curiosity" like I said you should do... DaniPine3 (talk) 08:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3:I did eventually search it up, (and was disgustingly redirected to another *taboo* topic), but after being initially disinterested by the search contents (sometimes I have to shut my eyes while using my mouse or keyboard - but rest assured, I am otherwise not harmed!), I scrolled to the bottom and found the categories, including Awesome, where I linked to the other pages and files stored in that category. That is how I play a version of the Wikipedia:Wiki_Game, although it can become tedious to relay every single thought or link process that I go through, all to find the relevant chain of words which I click to navigate around the site.

The steps were summarised as follows:

1. Search up 'curiosity'.
2. On the redirected page (which is somehow absent from my mind right now?), scroll to the bottom and find the Category:Awesome.
3. Within that category, scroll through the linked pages and files, and target some of interest.
4. From these files or pages, click the links that I am interested in to explore more of the wiki.
5. Head to the top of the category hierarchy or Special:AllPages list, and pick a starting point to navigate through another chain of links or categories.

I feel like I am more open to discussion than most other users, hence why I tend to write much longer replies to attempt to address every part of someone's questions, queries or requests, even though this might spiral into something only connected by a single chain of links, much like how I use this site in the first place. Even then, we can continue editing later on in the next few days? Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 08:37, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Commuter3: What I still don't get is what you're exactly trying to do. You say you're clicking to different links, as some sort of race to get to a specific destination; but what is exactly this destination you want to get? Why do you want to get there? And why don't you just search it on the search bar? I'm trying to comprehend what you're saying, but despite your eloquent writing, I just can't get what you're trying to say. DaniPine3 (talk) 08:51, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3:My thoughts can sometimes shift - depending on what subjects or topics I head off to, when I log on to this wiki after some research on Wikipedia, but the steps for how I get around, can also be summarised as follows:

1. Sometimes I hop onto this wiki, to read something of interest to me. Then (as most users will), they will click a link to another page, or perhaps use the categories below the page.
2. For me, I sometimes click them at random - to find something else that I might want to read, or possibly (plan to) edit, where once I view the category page itself, I can then look at the category contents in full, and find the next page that I can read or edit.
3. It is not specifically imposed on me, that I must get from one page to another only via links, but it is only something I look back at later on - to trace my steps or thoughts that led me somewhere. (That is, I do not intentionally play the Wikipedia:Wiki_Game, but that process coincidentally seems like the same steps were applied.)
4. It would be extremely tedious to post every chain of links I have used for this wiki, but I have summarised one such sequence up above: if I exhaust the links or get bored of reading the same category of pages, then I can head to the top of the hierarchy - sometimes using the search bar, or to see the page names themselves, I look through the Special:AllPages index, and then find a topic of interest for me to read, and subsequently navigate through the page and category links.
5. So most of this tends to happen at random, until I get bored of going through each link, and decide to eventually search the topic up (if it exists.
6. Otherwise, I can only really use partial matches - for something that is either a red link here, or does not exist yet in any ideas or paragraphs posted in all the blue linked pages.)
7. Otherwise, my edits usually happen sporadically depending on my thoughts at the time when I log on to the wiki.
8. Does this clear up the confusion or my thought processes, slightly? (We can move this conversation onto your own talk page, to avoid confusing this one with MrX's talk page. Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 09:12, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

For the record, I don’t mind this conversation on my talk page. MrX blow me 18:36, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

does this convoluted loop of steps, clear up my often wayward thought processes when I edit? Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 22:56, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes. And at the same time it makes it more confusing lol. It’s all good. MrX blow me 03:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

let me target the specific steps that are most confusing: which spots need to be cleared up or explained in more detail? Then I can give a rough overview of where or how I might go around when I edit, or simply navigate around the site. Commuter3 🇦🇺 (veer off and crash into my talk page) 04:14, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Nothing needs to be explained though. The way you are searching for articles is fine. MrX blow me 12:22, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Abuse filter

The abuse filter blocked a user named Lanis when they didn't actually make any edits because of some rule about being an American informant or something. I'm confused on what "American informant" means.  Fenris2010 the moccasin-wearing Grue ^{You hear growling...} Fenris2010 (talk) 20:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Occasionally we get weird spammers who want to add stuff that seems more like it's trying to be a Wikipedia article than advertising something. Here's the content Lanis tried to add to a page they were creating that would've been titled "Jianzhang Wang who was American informant":

“Wang Jianzhang was born in Fuzhou in 1945. In 1983, he worked with others to sell drugs in China and built up a large drug trafficking network. Later, China stepped up its anti-drug efforts, and in 1988, with the help of an international "smuggling organization," he smuggled himself to the United States and obtained a green card. After he went to the United States, he still did not change his heart, and started drug trafficking, resulting in a year later in New York was sentenced to three years in prison. However, this veteran drug dealer, he seems to be a different person in prison. He was actively involved in confessing to other drug dealers, and often helped police speculate on the psychology of drug dealers and assist in arrests. Because of his outstanding performance, after his release from prison, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration unexpectedly promoted him as an informant, let him participate in the detection of many drug trafficking cases.”

~

So yeah, no redeeming value from this clown, blocked. Feel free to ask more questions if you're still curious. MrX blow me 03:20, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

@Fenris2010: What's strange is that they always seem to recreate the very same article whenever they create a new sockpuppet about this guy nobody cares about. They first logged in here as God V (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • nuke contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log) back this summer, and ever since they've been creating a lot of sockpuppets for this very reason. Most people that engage in this kind of vanity give up the first time their article gets deleted for breaking the vanity policies, but this guy (or guys?) keeps trying to push their article again and again; no matter if it always ends up deleted and they get banned.
Reading the "article" in question makes it very apparent there seems to be some kind of political reason they keep doing this, but it's weird they targeted Uncyclopedia of all the wikis out there when their "article" don't match the humor style the rest of Uncyclopedia has (which makes it pretty much stand out like a sore thumb) and I'm pretty sure at least 99% of the people here agree China's government is a totalitarian dictatorship that sucks. So I wonder why they haven't given up yet and went somewhere else. I guess they believe that because this wiki has been less active these years they'll be able some day to sneak their "article" in without anyone noticing.

Found this account: User:!! encyclopedia encyclopedia encyclopedia encyclopedia and I have good reason to suspect that it's 0 encyclopedia. Should 0 encyclopedia be added back to UN:LSD? Willy on Wheels, The Fuerdai Vandal. (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 19:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't think we need to bother adding it to LSD, it was blocked over two months ago. If they come back then sure. MrX blow me 19:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

A young woman's dying breath

Here. JJP_Master 03:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Cute. I wonder what the "Re-lock" was for? MrX blow me 14:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

A new UN:OFFICE candidate has arrived!

Needless to say User:TropicalPanther probably deserves an UN:OFFICE placement due to their... contributions. I'd say also shorten their block a bit. Willy on Wheels, The Fuerdai Vandal. (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 14:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

While we probably should add TropicalPanther to the OFFICE, there is no way in hell we will shorten their block, but I am open to making it longer. Have you looked at the block log? Their last block was for 1 month. This was for removing others' votes on a VFH page, changing others' comments on a talk page, and socking to vote twice on VFH (all of which on their own could warrant indef blocks). After the lenient block expired, TropicalPanther AGAIN removed others' votes on VFH, almost immediately. MrX blow me 15:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

And I actually don't think we need to add TropicalPanther to the OFFICE since they aren't under any special restrictions/rules. MrX blow me 15:16, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Blocking them from VFH and talk pages might work as restrictions. I doubt they'll learn, however. Willy on Wheels, The Fuerdai Vandal. (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 15:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Probably not at this rate. I'm not a fan of editing restrictions/sanctions except for the rarest situations, like Crocotta. Her problems started with simply creating too many bad articles, but they were good faith attempts to be funny, so a limit on article creations made sense for a short while. In general, editing restrictions/sanctions just create more work for everyone and waste a lot of time. MrX blow me 15:51, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Maybe we could get a script to do it? To me, User:TropicalPanther just seems like a confused n00b rather than a troll/vandal. Letting them know that they're not allowed to use VFH or talk pages should get them to stop and make useful contributions. Willy on Wheels, The Fuerdai Vandal. (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 16:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

If a one-month block didn't get the point across, an even more lenient punishment wouldn't help either. MrX blow me 17:39, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Eh, some people really just need the most blunt instructions not to fuck things up Willy on Wheels, The Fuerdai Vandal. (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 22:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

And they have had blunt instructions. MrX blow me 02:16, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I mean, a failure of extrapolation. The only way to stop this is probably to tell them to not edit talk pages or VFH at all. Unrelated, but should the American informant guy be added to UN:LSD? Willy on Wheels, The Fuerdai Vandal. (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 13:36, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

We shouldn't have to do that. TropicalPanther very deliberately tried to manipulate a vote multiple times. They knew full well what they were doing; the intent was purely malicious.

Also, which American informant guy? I think we already have an abuse filter set for that if it's the one I'm thinking of, and we don't really need to add simple spammers to the LSD, but again perhaps I'm off and it's someone else. MrX blow me 14:54, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that's the American informant guy I'm thinking of. The abuse filter seems to have completely stopped them so I don't think a place on UN:LSD is needed.

For User:TropicalPanther, an UN:OFFICE placement probably isn't needed. I'd say to just warn them that if they fuck up one more time, they better prepare their anus. Willy on Wheels! On Wheels! (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 18:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Indeed. MrX blow me 00:27, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Oversight

Hey MrX, I was wondering if there's anyway I could be granted oversight permission (I think its called suppressor) for a couple minutes. I need to nuke some diffs for edits I made, I already reached out to Lyrithya on Discord if they could do it for me, but I got no response. Is there anything that can be done in this case? Alula mentioned on Discord that only sysadmins can oversight things, and well most of ours are inactive, so is there anything that can be done in this situation? WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 17:47, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: sorry for barguing in, but I had to ask, Lyrithya still keeps contact with Uncyclopedia stuff? considering that her oldest contributions here are from 2011 (and I've never seen her editing this wiki myself; all I know about her is from revision histories and archive pages), I thought she would have left a long time ago... DaniPine3 (talk) 18:46, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: No worries, yeah they're still around, mainly on the discord, though they don't say much, their last 2 messages are a year apart, but they do reply when pinged, though they just crack a joke and dip. I pinged her asking if I could DM her the diffs I wanted oversighted, and I mentioned I didn't know she was active, and all she replied was, "No I'm a corpse", I did DM them after that, but no response for a couple days and counting. Idk, if they're like involved with the wiki anymore, I'd say not really, but they'll pop by when she's needed, but FWIW you can consider them semi-retired, like Zombiebarron, or Mr-ex WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 18:54, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: considering she was probably already a tad old when she first joined the wiki, as she seemed to know a lot of tech stuff, I wonder how old that user might be now, 20 years after... she perfectly can be 40-something; no wonder she's not that active anymore... DaniPine3 (talk) 18:58, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: the reason i said you had to ask a sysadmin was because oversight very specificallt hides the revisions from every user, including all the admins. Obviously none of us admins can help with that (we can only do regular revision deleting). 21:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: Alula and DaniPine are correct that only Lyrithya would be able to truly perform oversight, which if I understand it correctly would hide the edit even from admins. However, perhaps revision deleting (revdel) would work? Then only admins would be able to see it, but we would have to specifically hack it up, we wouldn't just glance at it looking at a page history or something, and I can't see why anyone would hack it up. If someone hasn't done that already, I'd be happy to, and you can DM me the diffs on Discord if you prefer. I won't have a whole lot of time tonight tho so if I don't respond quickly I apologize in advance. MrX blow me 00:33, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying earlier, yeah that sounds good, I'll shoot you a message on discord when I get home (school blockers lol), thanks in advance! On another note, shouldn't we get new sysadmins since pretty much all of ours are not very active anymore? WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 14:33, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Well that could become a complicated process, and we don't really have a pressing need for sysadmin stuff. MrX blow me 14:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

About the Colonel

I haven't been keeping up with the ColonelKurtz situation, but why has he not been permabanned? He's been blocked 7 times in the last month or two apparently. Though, I'm not sure, I haven't been too active with Uncyc the past few weeks or so. Bad Motherfucker GET FUCKED! 20:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

@Bad Motherfucker: I mean, from what I know, it's not like he's done any major policies violations. He's quite edgy and random and does have a knack to create really small, unnecessary articles; but I'm not sure whether he deserves a full permaban when I'd say he's actually pretty chill (for someone as edgy as him, that is). He might has his fair share of disruptive editing but he's also got good-faithed edits and created several articles which does prove he isn't here just to troll. Also, he actually has 6 bans, not 7. DaniPine3 (talk) 20:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I was just counting the items in his block log when I said seven, but one of them was when I unblocked him. His long block was for posting a lot of antisemitic stuff, and I unblocked him when he acknowledged the mistake. To me it seemed more like he was trying to be edgy or something than hateful. My opinion is that his crap hasn't risen to the level of a permaban, kind of a lot of this and that but nothing too crazy, but I don't think he'll be getting short block if anything happens again. MrX blow me 21:00, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Right on. Yeah, if they keep doing the same shit over again might have to go with a longer ban given it's appropiate. Bad Motherfucker GET FUCKED! 21:38, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Thinking About Making Another VFH Nomination

I was going to nominate The Future on VFH, until I remembered what you blocked me for. Do you think it would be okay if I nominate this? Honestly, this is a great article in my opinion.  Fenris2010 the moccasin-wearing Grue ^{You hear growling...} 02:18, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I think that should be fine. I’m not sure how I will vote on that one yet, but it should be alright to nominate another article now. MrX blow me 06:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

@Fenris2010: but nominating 3 articles in just over 9 hours was a bit much, especially since 2 of them are not even remotely VFH-worthy. I told you that you needed to use common sense with your nominations. Do not nominate any more articles for VFH or VFD. MrX blow me 07:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Thumbsucker

Yo, so I was wondering, winter break is coming up for me, so I have some time to actually bang out articles, anyways, I see a lot of the redirects I've made/articles I want to make have been deleted years ago for various reasons, the main one being "burnt in forest fire week", whatever that means. Anyways, some of them seem kind of funny (based off the "only content was___" blurbs in the deletion notice), so I was wondering if I could be a thumbsucker for a little bit to get access to those deleted content, and rework or get some inspiration from them and make said articles, is this possible? WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 17:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Alright sir, after a thorough background check and investigation into your credit score and pornography viewing habits, I have concluded that you indeed are an ideal candidate for thumbsucking. So enjoy the extra button or whatever it is, and remember to suck your thumb if you see something that scares you. Cheers. MrX blow me 18:27, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, the first thing imma do is look through my huffed contributions over the years to see how embarrasing I was back then WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 19:33, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Haha you’re welcome and have fun. MrX blow me 20:01, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

on Category:Democrats (United States)

Was doing a purge of Special:WantedCategories and I noticed that User:MrX/other kamala had the nonexistent cat mentioned above. Should I create it, or should it be removed from the article? Willy on Wheels! On Wheels! (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 16:12, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

A bit unrelated but Special:WantedFiles seems to be broken. Willy on Wheels! On Wheels! (Babbling ~ Recent ramblings) 17:04, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

No need to create a new cat since we already have, and no need to remove it since I just have it there to look a little more like the wikipedia article. I sometimes go to Kamala and copypaste my "other kamala" there. So far my record is 39 minutes before someone reverted it. I sometimes try to do others (like changing the capitalization redirect of "Pat buchanan" to have my Pat Buchanan article) but often get stopped by their edit filter. Kamala seems to have a higher success rate for whatever reason. Also I'm not sure what's up with Special:WantedFiles, and I think it's been like that for a while. Oh well.

Visual editing

So remember how I wanted to know if this wiki will ever get the visual editor, well... it does... but it comes with a catch, for some weird reason I can only use it when logged out (see photos below), I can also toggle between visual and source, but when I log in, I don't have the option. Would you have any idea why this is? Also, imma ping @Cassie: and @Lyrithya: to see what they have to say.

WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 17:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Interesting. And no unfortunately I don't know why that is. Hell I still can't figure out why the links to sections don't work on Talk:Main Page. Also you might wanna try reaching out to Cassie and Lyrithya on their talk pages and Discord, probably more likely to get a response that way. And you might wanna try User:Jack Phoenix who still needs to get off his lazy ass and give us bluecocks for extended confirmed protected pages. MrX blow me 17:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

i simply disabled "disable visual editor while it is in beta" and that worked... i'm still sticking with edit source Brown9622, the 9622nd version of brown (talk) (articles) (contribs) · 17:43, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Hmm interesting and seemingly easy fix. MrX blow me 17:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedia Be Sucking: I've always been able to edit on visual editor while logged in, in fact it surprises me you haven't noticed there is a visual editor considering it's been there for quite a long time already (5 years old at least according to this forum thread). DaniPine3 (talk) 17:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I just realized I had "disable on beta" checked off lmfao, all good now! WPBS (ping for response) (talk) 21:06, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

it's hard to, y'know, make indents in visual, so yeah i'm probably just gonna stick with source --Brown9622, the 9622nd version of brown (talk) (articles) (contribs) · 21:13, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I just edit source, but nice to know we have the visual editor as an option (and that you need to turn off "disable visual editor" to use it). MrX blow me 22:10, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
