Regarding global filter 241[edit]
This filter currently catches additions containing file://
, often people trying to link a file from their computer in a page, like for example here. I was thinking that instead of merely logging it, it would be more helpful both for the projects and the people trying to add files this way, to trigger a warning explaining them what they're trying to do is not possible (and how to properly upload files). --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KonstantinaG07 we could set it to warn, however a custom warning won't work well because it wouldn't be translated to the hundreds of languages - meaning the contributor would get MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning. Would that be better or worse? — xaosflux Talk 14:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, right, I had a custom one in mind but forgot translations are an issue here. I am now also not sure if it would be better or not. The ideal would be if these custom warnings were translatable of course. KonstantinaG07 (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also noting that global filters do not support custom messages. If you try to save changes to a global filter with a custom message, you will receive an error. So unfortunately, we are stuck with the default MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning & MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 14:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Right, that could be an issue. I am also debating with myself if any of these two actions would cause more good or harm, with the standard, not so helpful, message. --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 13:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Request for mass message sender[edit]
Hello, I'd like to request for mass message sender again, to send some messages for WPWP campaign. I previously had the right for around a year and have requested messages to be sent for me before. Thanks – Ammarpad (talk) 07:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done. EPIC (talk) 08:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I need Event Organizers User Right[edit]
Hello,
After talking with @Ainali I have currently assumed responsibility to lead online meetings for the WMSDG User Group, therefore I need the Event Organizers right so that I can handle registration. Thank you! Egezort (talk) 16:02, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 17:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
