Editing User talk:Mormegil

== Thanks ==

Thanks for your help cleaning up the wiki from that last little raft of cruft and spamming! --[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|Benjamin Mako Hill]] 22:34, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind if I give you admin rights? Your regular presence here is very helpful. :) ''[[User talk:Spiritia|→]][[User:Spiritia|<span class='autocomment'>Spiritia</span>]]'' 17:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

: I would definitely not mind receiving admin rights. :-) It would make the cleaning job easier. --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] 05:37, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== A bunch of antispam work ==

I've updated the antispam plugins on this wiki and several others seriously. You probably noticed the recent quiet. This was because we actually ran out of CAPTCHAs a week or so ago and were simply blocking most non-admin contributions. Whoops. I've tried to create a setup which will help this. In particular, I have:

* Installed [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#ReCaptcha The ConfirmEdit ReCaptcha plugin] and set up the API key so that we're doing this. In the past, we ran out of FancyCaptchas so this should address this.
* I've installed the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Bad_Behavior Bad Behavior extension] which blocks IPs that are acting very suspiciously and providing impossible or implausible information.
* I've turned on two differently DNSBL [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDnsBlacklistUrls DNS Blacklists] which should block IPs which have reported to have spammed. 

This is pretty aggressive. Do let me know if you hear that folks are having trouble contributing. I sure hope this keeps the volume of spam down. 

And of course, thanks for all your work on this wiki. It's definitely apprecaited. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> 12:10, 17 June 2012 (EDT)

-== need permissions to add new pages ==
-Do you have administrator privileges to this wiki? I am trying to add new pages for CC-BY 4.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0 but it is automatically disallowing because the pages have external links. Thanks, [[User:Tvol|Tvol]] ([[User talk:Tvol|talk]]) 20:08, 19 November 2014 (EST)
-: Oh, yes, sorry for that, but the amount of botspam this wiki otherwise gets is ridiculous... I added an exception for editing the “Licenses/” pages, and the whole filter should stop applying to you as soon as you make a few edits. Also, I have created your userpage with the content you tried to place there. --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] ([[User talk:Mormegil|talk]]) 02:55, 20 November 2014 (EST)

-: Sorry, no idea what you need. I don’t see any edit by Erik, neither on your page nor anywhere else. Maybe you are looking for [[wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] instead of this wiki? Do you really intend to participate in the [[FAQ|Free Cultural Works wiki]]? --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] ([[User talk:Mormegil|talk]]) 10:14, 2 February 2016 (EST)

-== Translation==
-How can I translate this page? [[https://freedomdefined.org/Translations https://freedomdefined.org/Translations]] --[[User:Greatder|Greatder]] ([[User talk:Greatder|talk]]) 07:36, 18 April 2021 (CEST)
-: If you want to add a new translation of the Definition, start by creating the page for the translated version (e.g. for {{#language:bn}}, create the [[Definition/Bn]] page). You can also edit the [[Translations]] page and add the language (with the translation status) there; the page itself is not translated. --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] ([[User talk:Mormegil|talk]]) 10:35, 18 April 2021 (CEST)
