More opinions on qiuwen.wiki
[edit]The zhwiki community has requested the removal of qiuwen.wiki from the global blacklist from time to time, though those requests were declined. I'd appreciate it if others could share their views on the latest request at Talk:Spam_blacklist#qiuwen.wiki. I may be seeing this differently, so some additional perspectives would be helpful for both me and the requester :) – DreamRimmer ■ 16:37, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer only zhwiki? local whitelist Entry? 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 17:36, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
- This, that's exactly what the whitelist is for. — xaosflux Talk 18:56, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
- Actually previous requests were more often about blocking qiuwenbaike.cn (summarized at Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2025-06#qiuwenbaike.cn, only the one in 2022-12 requested unblocking, until this year). Unlike previous instances, the current request should be the first one backed by a local consensus.
- I don't know how much scrutiny this domain received when it was added to the list. However, I believe the rationale for blocking it does not stand, as I explained in the discussion there. I would like to ask an administrator to review the case. Srapoj (talk) 00:30, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Srapoj: This is not a board intended for general notices. This is a board intended for requests for sysop/bureaucrat actions, and there is no sysop/bureaucrat action at the current time that would be appropriate, since your request at the spam blacklist talk has not reached consensus. (As a side note, this has been on here for nearly a week now, so if anyone was that interested in the request, they would have seen it by now.) EggRoll97 (talk) 21:25, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
- The issue falls under the jurisdiction of Meta-Wiki admins, and has not been resolved on that board. I consider the discussion here a notice to invite others' opinion, that will expire 10 days after it's left. Therefore I object to it being archived earlier unless that request is resolved by an admin. Srapoj (talk) 21:40, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Vlaemink
[edit]- Vlaemink (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA)
At Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Project#Interpretation of article 3, participants have now been told 4 times (3 times by U4C members and once by myself) that the page isn't meant to be a forum for discussing systemic failures of the UCoC, and that they should create a case instead. Vlaemink doesn't seem to be taking those warnings for granted and even replied directly to one of them: Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Project#c-Vlaemink-20260813065500-XXBlackburnXx-20260803232500. They also appear to have gamed our system by making a bunch of PGAME-y edits specifically so they could make those comments, so they were clearly following the discussion in the meantime.
I ask that Vlaemink be reminded, by whatever means one deems necessary, that Meta-Wiki is not an appeals court (except through a U4C case). If they want to challenge how the UCoC has been systematically applied in a particular case, the appropriate venue is a U4C case, not a general UCoC talk. -- -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 08:37, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
- I've already warned the user for abusing a functional page some days before. @Vlaemink may I ask why you are continuing what another colleague started? NDG (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Vlaemink I would prefer if you could reply here. NDG (talk) 23:45, 15 August 2026 (UTC)
- I think the U4C committee can block this user if they think so. I'm not sure we should be interfering in the U4C space. Leaderboard (talk) 16:29, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Leaderboard I agree with you, that Meta-wiki admins should be very careful with users involved into U4C cases. But Vlaemink was warned by me on August 2nd for some testedits as Steward requests/Bot status. There was no reaction from them afterwards. No apology, no explanation. There was another user warned and one blocked in the same discussion some days earlier. Measures against the account would be directed against generally unacceptable behavior. NDG (talk) 17:25, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- If it's elsewhere in the project then sure, but given that the suggestion is to block on a U4C page alone, I think we should leave it to them to decide. Leaderboard (talk) 17:27, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- As I suspected, that U4C talk page was already semi-protected, but Vlaemink made some test edits on SRB to game the system, and they joined here since 2019. I believe w:en:Wikipedia:PGAME might be considered in this context. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 17:54, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

Mass Message request
[edit]I would like to target the list I created Global message delivery/Targets/Organized Labour Month Online Campaign with a 1-time message with the following wikitext. I made the Meta link an external link, because this will be send to users on both Meta and English Wiki user talk pages
== Organized Labour September Editing Event ==
[[File:Co-op activism5.svg|thumbnail]]
You're invited to join the [[:m:Event:WikiProject_Organized_Labour_Month_Online_Campaign|Organized Labour community editing event]], a cross-wiki event taking place throughout September 2026!
The campaign brings together Wikimedians interested in improving coverage of organised labour, workers, trade unions, and labour history. We have confirmed collaborations with Wikipedia language editions in English, Dutch, Persian, Serbo-Croatian and French. If you want to add other language editions or other wiki projects you are strongly encouraged to do so! This event spans geography and languages!
This is a one-time invitation. You're receiving it because you previously signed a petition related to Wiki Workers United (WWU). We hope you'll join us!
Regards ~ [[User:Shushugah|Shushugah]] ([[User_talk:Shushugah|talk]])
Shushugah (talk) 10:53, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'm happy to send this since it's a one-time thing and the target list is made up of users who showed interest in WWU. Is there a reason to send it to both their Meta and English Wikipedia talk pages? I can send it to either one, but sending the same message to both seems unnecessary and could come across as spammy. – DreamRimmer ■ 11:43, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- Agreed. Out of the 2675 listed, 645 appear twice. Also, this message could use a few minor improvements. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 11:49, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- I removed the duplicates, prioritizing keeping enwiki over metawiki. Do you have more specific feedback how to improve the message? Shushugah (talk) 13:03, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- CC to NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 15:08, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Shushugah: Primarily the lack of a space before the trailing
==, the broken link (it renders as WikiProject Organized Labour Month), and the shortened signature. You should perhaps preview the message in a sandbox first. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 20:32, 17 August 2026 (UTC)- Adjusted. Does that work? Shushugah (talk) 21:50, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, that's better. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 23:52, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

- Seems fine to go. Not going to send it myself, but the only suggestion I have is asking whether you can refine the list a bit. Is every person who signed the petition necessarily signing up as well for a MassMessage about an editing event? EggRoll97 (talk) 21:28, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Shushugah – looks good (also won't send it myself, since I don't love dealing with the massmessage interface), but any particular reason you use the full url instead of
[[:m:Event:WikiProject_Organized_Labour_Month_Online_Campaign|Organized Labour community editing event]]instead? //shb (t • c) 02:24, 19 August 2026 (UTC)- No that’s perfect. I forgot about the universal prefixes. I was getting irritated that meta:meta prefix doesn’t work on meta itself whereas m:meta does. Shushugah (talk) 04:57, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
