AntiVandal suggestion
[edit]Hello, I would like to suggest adding a dark mode to antivandal. It would be a lot easier on the eyes. Thanks! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 21:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion, @GrayStorm! That is a feature that I'd like to add eventually, but unfortunately, I don't have a ton of time right now to work on it. I'll try to at some point, though! —Ingenuity (t • c) 23:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Cool. Thats understandable that you can't work on it currently, but I look forward to seeing it when it does come out. GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 23:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I didn't want to just change the block since you seemed to have made deliberate choices with the settings, but given that the main account had talk pages access revoked, I think maybe the sock should to. We've clearly wasted more than enough time on this person. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 00:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Just Step Sideways: it looks like Scottperry only has email disabled; I just left the settings the same as JPxG's initial block. I'm not opposed to revoking their TPA, though, given that they seem on the verge of making legal threats. —Ingenuity (t • c) 00:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I'm dumb. He had it revoked at one point but I see now it was restored later. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 01:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Ingenuity, just to jump on this - thanks for removing the other edit summaries from his attack sock. Needless to say, I didn’t take too kindly to some of those PAs. The Kip (contribs) 02:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Find shared interests
[edit]Hi! Is there a tool I can use to find Wikipedia users who have edited the same set of articles? I have read Wikipedia:Tools/User interaction investigations which is somewhat similar, but not what I want. Polygnotus (talk) 03:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Polygnotus: I actually created a tool like that, and used it on Hajer (it's a bunch of Javascript code; I can send it to you, if you like). There aren't any other users with significant overlap that the tool found, though. I also went through the history of basically every article they've edited manually, but found nothing. There is one user (AZAA23) who could be related, but they have only made two edits on enwiki. —Ingenuity (t • c) 03:54, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- If you would be so kind to send me that tool it would be greatly appreciated (you can email it or paste it on my userpage, whatever you prefer). I was thinking of writing something like that myself and sticking it on Github. In exchange I can offer the contribution list tool (press on the Show changes button here to see its output) but its not really finished yet. Without accusing anyone; I think I may have found an account that is very enthusiastic about certain well-known brands. Polygnotus (talk) 04:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Polygnotus: I've emailed you the code. It isn't super accurate, though, so treat its results with a grain of salt. —Ingenuity (t • c) 04:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting, thank you. For the record: there is no indication that the other user is related to Hajer-12 in any way, but they are a lot more excited about certain brands than you or I would be. Polygnotus (talk) 04:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

This question shouldn't be here?
[edit]Hello Ingenuity.
I just wanted to remind you that a Nothere user (now blocked) asked a question on your AntiVandal.js talk page [1]. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will interfere with the AntiVandal script. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 04:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I'm not an expert on user scripts, but seeing as that is the talk page, and not the code itself, it should be fine. And anyway, you probably couldn't mess with the code even if you wanted to. Javascript pages are protected so that only the user who's subpage it is and interface admins can edit them (eg. I could edit User:GrayStorm/Lorem.js but not User:Ingenuity/Ipsum.js, however an interface admin could edit both these pages). Hope this helps! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 05:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- @GrayStorm, That's good to know! Anyways, I'll leave the message as it be and let Ingenuity decide. Cheers. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 08:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Actually, I don't think he'll have access to appeal at AN, as talk page is already blocked. He'll probably have to go through UTRS, yes? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- @SarekOfVulcan: I re-enabled talk page access when reblocking. If they abuse it again, I won't hesitate to revoke it, and then they would need to appeal through UTRS. —Ingenuity (t • c) 16:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Seems to be sending emails. I’m not sure that’s a good idea. Doug Weller talk 19:12, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Doug Weller: I revoked their access to send emails when re-blocking them. —Ingenuity (t • c) 19:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Good, I should have looked at the block details. Doug Weller talk 19:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Do you know anything about vitamin supplements?
[edit]ZMA (supplement) has two recent edits that I wasn't sure about. I wasn't sure which noticeboard I would need. Knitsey (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've reverted their edit. If they continue, I'd suggest warnings for adding promotional content, and a report to WP:COIN or WP:AIV if necessary. —Ingenuity (t • c) 01:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Lovely, thank you. Knitsey (talk) 01:24, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Missing editnotice
[edit]Hi Ingenuity, regarding Special:Diff/1239801320, article-specific restrictions can't lead to sanctions if there was no editnotice about them on the affected page at the time of the violation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:46, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- @ToBeFree: Whoops, thanks for letting me know. I've created one now. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:51, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Next time I'll message the administrator after creating the editnotice. Sorry and thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
