== Unsubsted usernames in [[MassMessage]]s ==

Shouldn't there be a rule against having <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> in MassMessages? The problem is that the PAGENAME may change if the message is archived, moved, quoted etc. [[User:Jonteemil|Jonteemil]] ([[User talk:Jonteemil|talk]]) 00:29, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

== Set filter 246 to show CAPTCHA or to warn the user? ==

Looking at the log of [[Special:AbuseFilter/246]], I encounter a mix of nonsense, vandalism, test edits, and similar stuff. Therefore, I would like to propose that we set that filter to either:
* Show the CAPTCHA, or…
* …warn the user, using the [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning|standard warning message]].
Thank you. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 19:41, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

:Neither. A tag seems more appropriate here. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 19:58, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

== Enable UserPageEditProtection ==
{{Archive top|result=After running for almost three weeks, there is '''no consensus''' to activate the <code>wgRestrictUserPageEditing</code> feature for Meta. Participants who opposed the proposal noted that the user page abuse filter is sufficient enough, and that enabling the hard-coded feature would be more difficult for administrators and patrollers to identify potential false positives from the feature (instead of the filter).

Hi. two weeks ago, the configuration option [[mw:$wgRestrictUserPageEditing|$wgRestrictUserPageEditing]] was added, allowing the restriction of the "User" namespace to the user themselves and certain user groups.<br>
Since this is already enforced on Meta anyway, using [[Special:AbuseFilter/161]] and [[Special:AbuseFilter/87]], I propose enabling this on the server-side. The permission would be granted to every group that includes the "autopatrol" right.

The benefit would be that users receive a permission error *before* they make the edit, rather than afterwards. [[user:Neriah|Neriah]] - [[user talk:Neriah|💬]] -  08:27, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

:Seems a bit of a 'blunt' tool, when our filters already have multiple carve outs for exemptions that would go away. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 10:32, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
:No, thanks. A server-side hardcoded limit means lower client-side dynamicity. Admins can actively check for edge cases themselves in the filter logs, but for non-publicly-logged limitations they'd have to passively wait for the affected to make a report.
