Can you remove protection from The Simpsons and Family Guy? 71.202.112.200 (talk) 03:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Why? Nyttend (talk) 10:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

So I can add information. 71.202.112.200 (talk) 22:04, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

You can propose changes at Talk:The Simpsons and Talk:Family Guy. Nyttend (talk) 00:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Already request unprotection on both talk pages, but Doniago asked why. Which other admin should I ask? 71.202.112.200 (talk) 04:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

WP:ADMINSHOP should answer your question. Nyttend (talk

The anon was then unblocked but will hopefully leave his ax at home now. However, the other problem was the edits by the anon claiming to be *Trekker. Just trying to prevent further disruption. Cheers, -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 04:04, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello :-) The Anti-Harassment Tools team at the Wikimedia Foundation will start building these granular blocking tools in a few weeks and we've asked WMF designer Alex Hollender to help us make some wireframes so the tools are intuitive to MediaWiki users.

We have a first draft of how we think this tool should work. You can read the full proposed implementation here but here are the significant parts:

• Granular blocks (page, category, namespace, and file uploading) will be built on top of Special:Block. These blocks will function as if they were regular blocks and allow for the same options, but only take effect on specific pages.
• We will add a new checkbox for "Block this user from the whole site" which will be checked by default. When it is unchecked the admin will be able to specify which pages, categories, and/or namespaces the user should be blocked from editing.
• Granular blocks can be combined and/or overlap. (For example, a user could be simultaneously blocked from editing the articles Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and all pages inside the Category:Weather.)
• Only one block is set at a time, to adjust what the user is blocked from the administrator would have to modify the existing block.
• Block logs should display information about the granular block
• When a blocked user attempts to edit an applicable page, they should see a block warning message which include information on their block (reason, expiration, what they are blocked from, etc.)
• If a category is provided, the blocked user cannot edit either the category page itself and all pages within the category.
• If the File: namespace is blocked, the user should not be allowed to upload files.

We like this direction because it builds on top of the existing block system, both a technical and usability wise. Before we get too far along with designs and development we'd like to hear from you about our prosposal:

1. What do you think of the proposed implementation?
2. We believe this should be an expansion of Special:Block, but it has been suggested that this be a new special page. What are your thoughts?
3. Should uploading files be combined with a File namespace block, or as a separate option? (For example, if combined, when a user is blocked from the File namespace, they would neither be able to edit any existing pages in the File namespace nor upload new files.)
4. Should there be a maximum number of things to be blocked from? Or should we leave it up to admin discretion?

We appreciate your feedback on this project's talk page or by email. For the Anti-Harassment Tools team, SPoore (WMF) (talk) , Trust and Safety Specialist, Community health initiative (talk) 20:54, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

My poem is bad but my apology for the bad links is sincere!

Hi Nyttend, your tag "which?" in the lead of Meher Baba is asking for OR on our part, as Meher Baba did not say "which one" according to the Hinduist belief system in specific. On the contrary, he referred to the Avatar (in singular) as one and the same [soul] in all his incarnations and mentioned also Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha, who belong to other systems of belief as "Avatars". However I do not think any of this is necessary for the biography article, let alone the lead, and we already have an avalanch of AfD's on topics relating to Meher Baba, including a couple on his use of some key terms. So at this point, expanding in particulars would be a Sisyphian effort IMO. Best regards, Hoverfish Talk 02:26, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
