Welp

I guess it was convenient that there happened to be an unused icon for Active RfBs, but I meant for you to move Active RfAs to Active Requests for Rights, because it is awkward to have an RfB in an RfA category. HOWEVER, there is too little reward in making RfBs an individual catgeory considering how rarely they appear. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 14:05, 7 November 2015 (EST)

That is the general Bcrat icon, used in a userbox template that I know of, my CSS, etc. INoMedssig.png INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 14:08, 7 November 2015 (EST)
It could have gone either way really. Since categories can't be moved, I went with the easier option. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Quiet 09:47, 8 November 2015 (EST)
1. Exactly. 2. Just checked, I didn't see a move button next to the "watch this" button when on a category page. INoMedssig.png INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 09:51, 8 November 2015 (EST)

Range block

Our recurring vandal seems to have weaseled around your range block again. Is it worth making it even broader? Miles (talk) 02:16, 11 November 2015 (EST)

To Miles: since you're an admin, can't you do a range block or can only bureaucrats do it? - Drilly the Hedgehog 02:18, 11 November 2015 (EST)
If he could, he would've done it by now. Disaster Flare (talk) 02:19, 11 November 2015 (EST)
Poor 15DollarsWentSouth. - Drilly the Hedgehog 02:20, 11 November 2015 (EST)
Indeed. Disaster Flare (talk) 02:21, 11 November 2015 (EST)
Seriously, though, can't oppenheimer do it? - Drilly the Hedgehog 02:23, 11 November 2015 (EST)

I can. However, I wanted to a) check with the person who had made that block, and b) check that it was desirable. The complication is that we'd essentially have to widen the net of IPs that are blocked, which increases the chances of blocking legitimate users beyond the vandal. That's why I haven't just leaped in to do it myself. Miles (talk) 02:31, 11 November 2015 (EST)

Yes, I must admit the number of range blocks we've made recently disturbs me. There could be hundreds of IPs blocked, preventing legit users from doing anything, and correct me if I am wrong, but talk page privs have been revoked too, right? Serpent SKSig.png King 03:49, 11 November 2015 (EST)

The current range blocks are /20, which blocks a total of 4096 IPs (2 to the power of [32 minus the number]). This is generally the point at which I personally say "this is good enough"; every increase of the range number by 1 doubles the amount of blocked IPs. The default MediaWiki limit is /16 (65,536 IPs), which basically means "the first two numbers of the IP address are the same, who cares about the second two". I would normally point you to the rangeblock tool and ask "what would your new range be?", but it seems to be down at the moment. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Aurum 08:22, 11 November 2015 (EST)

XL

Will eXemplary Logic be able to semi-automate the process of changing copyright tags? I'm just curious. INoMedssig.png INoMed (Talk • Contribs) 12:12, 11 November 2015 (EST)
