I just thought that I would politely let you know that I blocked your account for one day as a joke, but seriously, please do not ever delete any URL shortener as you did at [[URL_shortener_test]] without restoring it, even as a test again. I found it very difficult to undo your test as I haven't edited in ages and am unfamiliar with it. I also believe that this may violate the spirit of your current editing restrictions, which I am aware of. However, I will not be taking any further action regarding this since I do not consider it a big deal. I think it would probably be best if you checked with [[User:Dmehus]] before deleting anything again so that you do not inadvertently violate your editing restrictions. Thank you.

Greetings BrandomWM, congrats on being elected as a consul and I hope you prove your worthiness :) [[User:Harvici|<span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#CC4E5C ; text-shadow:gray 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">Harvici</span>]] ([[User talk:Harvici|<span style="color:#228B22">''talk''</span>]]) 15:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC) |

:Hi {{ping|Kiko4564}}. I’d ask that you refrain from joke-blocking users as it can ping users to the RC feed when the block log is updated, and it is an irritation to deal with as my email inbox was spammed with notifications about joke blocks and then the next message on my talk page. As always, this is a test wiki so you’re more than welcome to joke block yourself or [[User:Example]]. Thank you. [[User:BrandonWM|BrandonWM]] ([[User talk:BrandonWM|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/BrandonWM|contribs]]) 15:58, 29 August 2022 (UTC) |

::I apologise for the inconvenience caused by my semi-serious joke block. Whilst it is up to you, if you're unhappy with having your email inbox spammed, have you considered getting a separate email address just for wiki purposes? Will do in the future, thank you. On a serious note, I have left you a warning above. Please ensure that you take heed of it in the future. Thank you. [[User:Kiko4564|Kiko4564]] ([[User talk:Kiko4564|talk]]) 16:04, 29 August 2022 (UTC) |

:::If it was semi-serious I’d recommend you add that in your original message going forward. I don’t really appreciate joke blocks, so that’s what I’ll say about that. As for your “serious” warning, I vaguely remember restoring that URL but if that’s not the case, then I apologize and will endeavor to double-check that in the future.

== Blocked (Partial) == |
|||
I have indefinitely blocked you from editing [[TestWiki:Request permissions]], Renaming pages, and Creating new pages on the grounds that you are currently subject to the following editing restrictions: |
|||
# <s>Prohibition on requesting [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrator]] for thirty (30) calendar days from the date of imposition;</s> (now lapsed) |
|||
# Requirement that you obtain [[w:WP:CON|consensus]] of the [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consuls]] before requesting [[TestWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]; |
|||
# Prohibition on editing [[TestWiki:Request permissions]], which may be imposed by a partial block if breached; |
|||
# Prohibition on page, redirect, and template [[Special:MovePage|page moves]]; |
|||
# Prohibition on deleting any page, redirect, or template, which you, ''yourself'', did not create; and, |
|||
# Requirement to obtain the approval of at least one (1) other [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] before ''creating'' any pages, redirects, or templates on TestWiki, not counting subpages in your userspace. |
|||
This is stated [https://publictestwiki.com/m/7z2 here]. |
|||
If you are unhappy about this block, then you can request an unblock by placing <code><nowiki>{{Unblock|reason}}</nowiki></code> on your talkpage. Any patrolling [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] will shortly get to you. However, if you wish to appeal your editing restrictions, then I would suggest that you contact [[User:Dmehus]] directly, and ask for advice. I have also revoked your sysop rights in order to prevent you from unblocking yourself. If you wish to request that your sysop rights be restored, then please appeal the block as stated above. Thank you. [[User:Kiko4564|Kiko4564]] ([[User talk:Kiko4564|talk]]) 20:50, 26 August 2022 (UTC) |

:Why was this done? What has this user done that warrants this? [[User:Agent Isai|<span style="color:skyblue">'''Agent</span><span style="color:lime;" > Isai'''</span>]] <sup>[[m:User talk:Agent Isai|<span style="color:orange;">'''Talk to me!'''</span>]]</sup> 05:21, 27 August 2022 (UTC) |

::I'm just in aware of this by checking the RC feed. BrandonWM had previously created a template ([https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/Special:Log?type=create&user=BrandonWM&page=Template%3AWithdrawn&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers logs]) and have thus from their interpretation, breached the editing restrictions stated above. Anyway I believe this should best leave to a consul, and their sysop rights should also not be revoked. [[User:Matttest|Matttest]] ([[User talk:Matttest|talk]]) 05:37, 27 August 2022 (UTC) |

:::This was done as BrandonWM already has consul editing restrictions which are stated above and can be found [https://publictestwiki.com/w/index.php?diff=32172#Revised_TestWiki_editing_restriction here], which clearly permit "any administrator" to "reimpose either a sitewide or partial block for any length of time". I have restored sysop rights and BrandonWM's userpage. However, the partial block remains in place as a reminder of his editing restrictions, although I have modified it to permit him to edit the Template namespace. --[[User:Kiko4564|Kiko4564]] ([[User talk:Kiko4564|talk]]) 12:50, 27 August 2022 (UTC) |
|||
::::IMO, the restrictions listed are too restrictive, requiring inefficient bureaucracy to utilize the test wiki outside of the userspace. For this reason, and for the fact that I find the edits that kicked off this enforcement action to be non-disruptive, I have removed the block. Instead, I propose the restriction be reduced down to a general recommendation against making any "official" style changes without prior on-wiki approval, and an understanding that less leniency will be given in the event of future disruption. I am comfortable with removing the hard line restrictions.

Latest revision as of 15:43, 30 April 2024
Hello, welcome to my talk page!
If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~
Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere. And again, please do not delete discussions of my talk page, it is my own decision. Thanks!
