How to protect page

Hi buddy, I'm here to request how to protect page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodwise (talkcontribs) 2023-11-22T18:48:06

  • Pages are good candidates for protection if they have been vandalized. You can leave a request for an administrator to protect a page on their user talk page (like User talk:Geo Swan), or on the Community portal. List the actual pages. If you weren't contributing to those page(s), or they weren't subject to vandalism, your request may be turned down.
"Semi-protection" allows them to be edited by established contributors, but not newcomers. Full protection only allows edits from administrators. Geo Swan (talk) 14:05, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Remove or get "Nafiza Islam" page on wikialpha.

'Nafiza Islam' page has been created copying 'Divyam Agarwal' page even without properly editing the content. You can check and compare the content. Even their is Divyam Agarwal writing in 'Nafiza Islam' page and what about companies? didn't even edited them. just copied the page and changed the name in some places. i had removed all the content from 'Nafiza Islam' page before but you have reverted it. Its not vandalism when someone comes in wikialpha and copies the page. kindly request you to check and remove or edit 'Nafiza Islam' page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swaggerdeevs (talkcontribs) 2023-12-11 07:17:41‎

Could you please use meaningful edit summaries for your future edits? Geo Swan (talk) 03:29, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

A bit late, but users like these have to be blocked: https://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/FHFaruk He made a huge redirect mess. WritingSnowman (talk) 16:58, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
One more: https://en.wikialpha.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/IDOL_Music WritingSnowman (talk) 05:47, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
  • This is very helpful.
I put a {{__noindex__}} on IDOL Music. I think you should feel free to do likewise, on a case by case basis.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Do you remember that cryptocurrency scammer from Australia? I wonder what is happening with him?

Community portal move

Wajahat Writer needs to be moved back to WikiAlpha:Community portal. Please prevent other users from moving it. WritingSnowman (talk) 17:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

  • F*ck. I encountered an unexpected bug. The full history was at Wajahat Writer, and a redirect was at WikiAlpha:Community portal. I deleted the one revision redirect, at WikiAlpha:Community portal, first. Then I told it to move Wajahat Writer back to WikiAlpha:Community portal. I was insufficiently paranoid about bugs. When it said "a redirect already exists, do you want to delete it?" I should have expected to be bit by a bug, but I didn't. I told it to go ahead. This should not have resulted in deleting the good revision history.
But it did.
The history of deleted versions should contain dozens of earlier revisions. But it doesn't. It just contains a few revisions, all blank.
Maddening. Geo Swan (talk) 05:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks Geo Swan! Don't forget about Talk:Wajahat Writer too. WritingSnowman (talk) 03:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

  • I left a note on this contributors user talk page, requesting them to translate the articles they had already written into English. I asked them to do this by February 14th. I think I have already seen at least one page they didn't translate. I am going to delete all untranslated pages.
User:MohammadKeshtkar, if I end up finding untranslated pages, and I delete them, I will undelete them for you, but: (1) that will only so you can translate them; (2) If I had to delete more than one, I will only undelete one at a time; (3) You will have to promise to translate them quickly. We'll agree on a deadline. If you haven't translated them by then, they will be gone. Geo Swan (talk) 03:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Okay, one untranslated article. Geo Swan (talk) 04:04, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Discuss vandalism

Hey buddy, could you block the user I'm typing spam? I'm trying to contribute to the development of Wikipalpha.

Hey Geo Swan

Hi Geo Swan, can you edit my user page to show the list of pages I have created and the list of pages I have edited? I have contributed many wiki pages in WikiAlpha with organic content. I would like to show my work on my User Profile.
