:Hello {{re|Dmehus}}, I use a tool to approximate how long the proxies are open. The two week block are for proxies which I believe can be closed soon, or do you have a suggestion in mind? --[[User:Synoman Barris|Synoman Barris]] ([[User talk:Synoman Barris|talk]]) 16:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
::{{ping|Synoman Barris}} I am not aware of anything, no. If you've used such a tool, I'll trust your judgment. Maybe my [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] colleague {{ping|Reception123}}, also a [[meta:Global Sysops|Global Sysop]], has an idea. Did you see my reply about potential housekeeping in '''Template:''' namespace (i.e., unused or little use out of scope test template imports)?

:::{{re|Dmehus}} Seems like iI missed the ping, where did you post that? --[[User:Synoman Barris|Synoman Barris]] ([[User talk:Synoman Barris|talk]]) 16:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Synoman Barris}} It's on [[User talk:Dmehus|my user talk page]]; I left the thread open until you've read it and replied and/or otherwise acknowledged it (i.e., 'thanks'). [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 17:04, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
::::{{re|Dmehus}} I am also curious, what did you mean by '''your blocking the open proxy IP addresses ''does'' create an entry in the <code>'''[[irccloud:#cvt-feed|#cvt-feed]]'''</code>, which ''may'' give it an elevated prominence to [[meta:Global Sysops|Global Sysops]] and [[meta:Stewards|stewards]]'''. --[[User:Synoman Barris|Synoman Barris]] ([[User talk:Synoman Barris|talk]]) 16:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Synoman Barris}} Oh, good question. Yeah, <code>'''#cvt-feed'''</code> is an [[meta:IRC|IRC]] [[Special:RecentChanges|RecentChanges]] feed for ''all'' public Miraheze wikis. It's used mainly by [[meta:Stewards|stewards]] and [[meta:Global Sysops|Global Sysops]] to monitor cross-wiki vandalism or abuse more efficiently. We used to have [[meta:User:Proxybot|Proxybot]] that I mentioned that automatically blocked open proxies, but it hasn't functioned for quite awhile now, so global functionaries mainly monitor, presumably, the same sort of open proxy lists you monitor as well as notifications in that IRC feed. It generally reports [[Special:AbuseLog|AbuseLog]] and [[Special:Block|block]] entries from public wikis, as well as certain keywords that may indicate either (a) vandalism or (b) [[meta:Code of Conduct|Code of Conduct]] harassment or other violations. There also wiki-specific feeds that you can have a [[mh:bots|MirahezeBots project]] developer setup, including for ''your'' wiki, if you wish. Well, you can actually create the IRC channel (usually in the format <code>'''#miraheze-feed-''wikiname'''''</code>), and then a MirahezeBots developer will add one of the IRC bots to your IRC feed. You can also join our TestWiki channel at [[irccloud:#miraheze-testwiki|#miraheze-testwiki]] or monitor TestWiki's RC feed at [[irccloud:#miraheze-feed-test|#miraheze-feed-test]].
