Iain Davidson

adminned: --Sj talk 16:11, 24 April 2008 (EDT)

Ixo (talk · contribs) Avid supporter, OLPC Wiki watcher/maintainer, support-gang, grassroots, developer, and repair location (once application process is decided). Maintains over 8 Wikis weekly: examples: http://aobn.org http://relectronics.org/wiki http://notes.homelinux.org http://resume.homelinux.org also Wikipedian. Other skills - graphic designer, photographer, programmer in 6+ languages..  :)

Reasons for request:

  • So I can stop wiki spam, such as Special:Contributions/61.130.108.194.. instead of just being able to edit them out.
  • Clean up delete, deletere and empty wiki pages.
  • Protect 'core wiki pages' and /translate from spam and other non-suspecting web surfers.

Comments

  • support as long as those hr's really stop! --Sj talk 01:49, 10 February 2008 (EST)
    Question: when should pages be protected, and how do you test for deletability when someone tags a page with delete or deletere? --Sj talk
    • A: protect:I would only protect/unprotect pages, if I were instructed/authorizied to make changes. If heavily used 'for public' pages, with mostly static information... are getting hit by vandels or spam, and causing confusion/interference with functon. I might protect the page, and then let Sysops (You/others?), know what I did and why.
      A: delete:I look for any page linking to current page (What links here). If any, see if there are better places to link. Also I look through history, if intentionally blank, for awhile. Then remove.
      A: deletere: pages, should only be those in the middle of double-hops. And again, check links in, and out. Make sure appropriate via history. In some cases, if there's some question, I might contact the last few editors to see about the background story. I'd also check Talk pages, to make sure nothing is lost permanently.
      Spam: For pages with spam, access to 'rollback' changes, or block repeating spammers/ip would be greatfully easier for me to help cut down system wide spam. Would also check 'User contributions', to see if real person or actual page spammer.--ixo 08:05, 14 February 2008 (EST)
