== API help ==


== "I'm Tandy and I live with my husband and our 3 children termites in house jacksonville " ==
Bob Moncrief sent me your way. I'm looking at building a bot to prowl the Danger Reports and mark them as "unknown" after several months. I was thinking of using the API to pull page data and parse it to determine when it was last signed. It would also do the same for the MPMs every 5 days and mark them as 'old' or 'unknown' as needed. Bob didn't want to just give me the link to the API, and I don't blame him, but to talk with you about this. {{unsigned|Reimannsum|19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)}}
Sounds like one hell of story. Stay strong, Tandy. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 06:59, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
:Sorry, but bots were never my area. From what I know, there isn’t a link to give you. Once you actually build a bot, a ‘crat can assign it bot permissions, but otherwise there’s not much more to it than Googling around to see how to actually build it. If [[User:Revenant|Revenant]] is around, he can probably point you in the direction of folks who have experience making bots. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

== nothing personal bub ==
just don't have respect for someone who wont respect another person's talk page.
if there's a way to delete it permanently or lock it (like The Jack's page was) or what have you that would be ideal.. but I can't find it so.. yeah.
I just happen to find the whole idea of the wiki message system to be incredibly pretentious.. as though every post on my talk page contains something I should find important or indeed, even want to read. I dont need some shitty wiki site telling me what I should value, hell I dont even like wikis to begin with (exercises in arrogant folk's self-important bullshit, all of them).. and for that matter I don't need you telling me what's in my best interest. so yeah, I guess it is a little personal. try not to be so pompous, or imperious like that preteen retard radicalwhig (not calling names, just making observations) [[User:Auralius|Auralius]] 14:36, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
:We don't lock user talk pages except in response to specific, ongoing acts of vandalism, and even then, only temporarily, since locking talk pages is—as I mentioned in one of our previous conversations on my talk page—contrary to the operation of a wiki. We actually never locked The Jack's talk page, just the group page.
:Regarding the idea you posted on [[A/VB]] that there should be a vandalism case against me—presumably for editing your talk page—we have a lengthy case history of ruling that the simple act of editing a talk page is not vandalism; it's using the wiki as intended. The one exception is if you were to take me to [[AA|Arbitration]]. If you did so, we'd pick a neutral arbitrator, we'd make our cases, and we'd receive a ruling. Assuming you made your case well enough to receive a ruling in your favor you might receive something akin to a restraining order against me, at which point any subsequent edits I made to your page could be viewed as an act of vandalism.
:That said, Arbitration rulings can't overrule wiki policy, such as the policies governing official notices or my role as a sysop. As such, while an Arbitration ruling could keep me from randomly spamming your talk page with personal insults, it would't keep me from serving you with official notices...which—with the possible exception of the courtesy notice I gave you last week that there was a vandalism case against you—is literally all I've posted ever since [[User:Aichon/Archive_2017#The_message_left_behind_by_the_person_who_wiped_this_page|I told you last December]] that I'd avoid editing your talk page unless necessary. You're not an enjoyable person to interact with, so I take no pleasure in posting to your talk page as it is. But hey, if you think that an Arbitration ruling is worth the hassle of going through the bureaucratic red tape on the off-chance that you can get a ruling that will keep me from doing something I'm not doing, that's your call. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 18:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

== I Heard You Guys Like Rules ==
After being quite annoyed I figured might as well lash out at someone, so here goes:
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Gardenator This user clearly has blinking text in their signature.
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Blinking_Text_Is_Annoying Which according to this policy is against the rules.
We can't have any epilecptics sitting and crashing in front of their pc's so I suggest someone tells Gardenator to make a plain/simple signature to prevent anyone getting triggered.
I didn't know where to put this, so I came here with it - as you can see you are about to give me some sort of trouble too, but for that im well prepared (as was I for the horde of people coming to fuck me over :) )
Cheers! [[User:Sister Mary|Sister Mary]] ([[User talk:Sister Mary|talk]]) 00:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
:Yeah...that rainbow of text known as the Goonsig has been thoroughly tested against the [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Signature_Policy|signature policy]], with dozens of cases related to it dating back to 2011. I ''might'' be able to be convinced that it’s against policy, but it’d be for reasons other than what you’re citing since that text isn’t blinking. In the context of the Web, “blinking” refers specifically to text that appears and disappears (i.e. what the old HTML Blink tag used to do), and that sig isn’t an example of it.
:If you’d like to pursue it further though, that policy page lays out the (annoyingly cumbersome) process for doing so. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:00, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
:: Well im not here to give YOU a hard time over what IM going "through" - but that being sad I have no problem in shooting with what ammo I have available.
::Im not going to engage this further and I will add a deletion template for my profile, make a new one and edit like that since it seems like the way im going to contribute here :) [[User:Sister Mary|Sister Mary]] ([[User talk:Sister Mary|talk]]) 02:16, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

== FA help ==
Hey, I'm wondering if you could take a quick look at my cycling of [[Monroeville]] in [[UDWiki:Featured Articles]] as successful.  
 
Essentially, I have no idea how these things are cycled on the main page over time, so I don't know if there's any more I need to do. Thanks. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 12:11, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
:I added it to [[Template:SimpleFACycle]]. Looks like you got everything else. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 12:24, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Just FYI: Wrecked Bawls isn't a wiki alt of Audio's. {{User:Stelar/sig}} 21:47, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
:How do you figure? I'd rather not get into the details, but I really don't see how the logs could be clearer on this one. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:10, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
::I have voice chatted with both Bawls and Audio at the same time before playing a game online. {{User:Stelar/sig}} 22:14, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
:::so they told you. Wow, what an elaborate attempt at sockpuppetry on Audios JISORs part. --{{User:Gardenator/sig}} 22:25, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
::::Told me what? That they are two different people entirely? Because that is the truth. {{User:Stelar/sig}} 22:28, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
:::::Oh yeah, I'm not saying you are lying. --{{User:Gardenator/sig}} 22:31, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
:::If you're willing to confirm that you voice chatted with both of them ''prior to'' the ban, I'd take that as sufficient evidence that they're different people. In chatting with Audio on Discord, he provided an explanation for why they would share so many details in the logs. None of it was provable, but with your word to back it up, I'd be fine with unbanning Wrecked Bawls. I'm heading out the door, so feel free to de-list Bawls and remove his ban. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:48, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
::::Yes, of course it was before the ban. {{User:Stelar/sig}} 22:56, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 
Erm, if (gleaning from the vague references to sysop IP data here) they often share an IP address, and there's been no confirmation that the Wrecked Bawls on this wiki is the same person Stelar was conversing with on Discord, and there's any indication that AudioAttack (who has a history of making shitloads of fleshed out but often discarded alt wiki accounts) ''could'' have control of, or have originally created, the account, then the account surely shouldn't be unbanned. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/tcs}} 02:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
:Actually, perhaps scratch that position, I think you're right Stelar, it's best to be safe rather than sorry when it comes to user experience. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/tcs}} 03:58, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
::That’s also why I was curious about the timing of things. Had she chatted with them immediately after the ban, the timing would be a bit too coincidental. Prior, however? Much more believable. That said, some of this confusion was likely avoidable, so I expect that it won’t come up again, but if it does, we’ll cross that bridge then. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 04:08, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
Good precedent for how to avoid bans on a sock puppet account.  --{{User:Gardenator/sig}} 05:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
:In theory, but it would be immediately suspicious if Bawls started posting during AA's ban. That would trip a ''lot'' of red flags. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/tcs}} 07:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Announcement: I'm no longer active. My talk page is still your best bet to get in touch. Aichon 04:39, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Please be aware of the following guidelines before posting here.

  • New conversations should be started at the bottom using a level two header (e.g. ==Header==). Or with the +
  • I like to keep conversations wherever they start, but if a conversation ends up here, I will keep it here.
  • I will format comments for stylistic reasons, delete comments for whatever reason, and generally do anything else within reason.

API help

Bob Moncrief sent me your way. I'm looking at building a bot to prowl the Danger Reports and mark them as "unknown" after several months. I was thinking of using the API to pull page data and parse it to determine when it was last signed. It would also do the same for the MPMs every 5 days and mark them as 'old' or 'unknown' as needed. Bob didn't want to just give me the link to the API, and I don't blame him, but to talk with you about this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reimannsum (talkcontribs) 19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC).

Sorry, but bots were never my area. From what I know, there isn’t a link to give you. Once you actually build a bot, a ‘crat can assign it bot permissions, but otherwise there’s not much more to it than Googling around to see how to actually build it. If Revenant is around, he can probably point you in the direction of folks who have experience making bots. Aichon 23:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
