The Newspaper That DOESN'T Think It's Better Than You!
Dec 6th, 2012 • Issue 177 • OH GOD RUN! IT HAS GENITALS, AND IT IS IN SEARCH OF A MATE!
|
A headline goes here! No, really!
Well, it's that time of the month when you realize you've wasted another 30 days in the company of Uncyclopedians, and your wife or girlfriend metamorphoses into a giant man-eating banana and rampages through Kuala Lumpur while screaming about "cramps". But cheer up, Mister Cratchit! Eet's Christmas toime! Yes, time to purchase meaningless junk for people you hate, give freely to homeless assholes who are too lazy to work for their own money, and get drunk with other people you hate, because the economy is in the shitter, and if you ain't buying, you're with the terrorists! And now that I've reminded you of your long-lost Christmas spirit, it's time to remind you of something we like to call "VFS"! Yes, VFS is upon us again, and with it come several calls to op some twit named "Bizzeebeever". We Here At The UnSignpost™ can't think of anything that would benefit the wiki less, unless it was feeding live badgers through a blender inside Wikia's datacenter, or perhaps marking the words "UNCYCLOPEDIA HATES JIMBO" onto a large paper bag, filling it with our own feces, lighting it afire, and dropping it through an open window at the headquarters of the Wikimedia Foundation. Or perhaps renting a hot-air balloon and filling its ballast tanks with liquid sewage and flying over the house of one James Q. Wales, Esq. Or perhaps sacrificing virgins on a beach under a full moon, nude, while blasting Slayer from massive speakers while a Coast Guard boat rakes the sand with machine-gun fire...um, where were we again? Ah, yes! The idiots over at VFS are on about something. You should go vote "no".
This week, MAJOR NEWS happened, and as usual, our correspondents were on it quicker than Kirstie Alley on a meat sandwich, or a meat pie, or anything made of meat, really. We are happy to report that longtime useless slacker and IRC lurker RAHB checked out a book from a local library! (Please suppress your exclamations of shock and dismay, folks; the neighbors are still complaining about the Coast Guard-assisted virgin sacrifice). When we inquired about RAHB's first foray into intellectual enrichment since his early childhood, he summarized it as follows:
As you can see, RAHB is a consummate intellectual, and a man among beasts. Stay tuned for next week, folks, when Zombiebaron Hears a Who! Same Bat-Channel, same Bat-Time!
The last two editions of the UnSignpost, which were the first editions published since the last editor came down with a case of exploding lung-weasels and threw himself off a cliff, contained 150% more fucking swear-words and 6000% more hyperventillating about things which are going to kill us all (such as Wikia, you knew it was going to be Wikia, because fuck Wikia). However, most of the 700 complaints we've received in the last two weeks (all of which were from Hotadmin4u69, and 699 of which included candid shots of his genitals[1]) concerned the lack of the UnSignpost dog, who we cheerfully claimed had been murdered and turned into soup. (If you hadn't noticed, go back and check. We'll wait.) This, of course, was an outrageous and unforgivable ploy on our parts to get your attention, and we apologize for it profusely; we promise never again to threaten or even joke about violence against dogs, especially since the SPCA's hired thugs know where we live. So here you are, folks: this week's edition of this glorious rag will go back to the usual tradition of featuring a charming dog who is in no peril at all: Oops.

The Newspaper the Whole Family Must Enjoy!
Dec 12th, 2012 • Issue 178 • Only wild horses can tear me apart.
|
I was asked to write a guest editorial, so let's get this over with. In the spirit of the Christmas and/or Holiday Season, I would like to offer an olive branch of peace. We could all use a little more peace around here. Well, not here, per se, because drama is always welcome amusement for me. More so than in places like the Middle East—the Middle East needs to calm the fuck down and Uncyclopedia needs to be more like the Middle East is what I'm trying to say. Still, drama isn't always amusing. For example, I won't be on the front page next month (I mean, if (point for humility) I win an award) because someone is having a pissy-fit over some bollocks and removed the awards from the front page. In this particular case, we need to pee on the fire, rather than fan the flames. The conflict I'm referring to is between two celebrated users, Thekillerfroggy and SPIKE. The root of this tension stems from the fact that TKF thinks SPIKE is the worst person ever and should leave this site, or at least stop sucking his own dick. Basically, SPIKE is to TKF what Toby is to Michael on The Office. Particularly if there were a British equivalent to Toby. God, that's a good show. Or was. It really blows now. Let me just say that you both have your faults. TKF: You need to stop being a dick, even when it is more hilarious than when it isn't. You appear to be in a drunken rage. I realize it's Hanukkah, but you should really tone it down on the whine. And SPIKE: Well, I just think you're a textbook case of someone who needs to masturbate more. I suggest you start December 25th, when you're having a less-than-sufficient amount of fun reading my holiday-themed articles. Despite these differences, you both have one thing in common: You're Uncyclopedians. And the essence of being an Uncyclopedian is appreciating the art of Comedy. When the world is at its darkest, we rely on the light of humor, parody and satire. Some have said that Uncyclopedia is at its darkest point right now, that our brightest days are far behind. Yet if the annual winter solstice teaches us anything, it's that the brightest days always follow the darkest nights. Or some sugary moral message like that. I mostly just wanted to drop a few horrible puns and get away with insulting you both all over the site. Merry Christmas! Today's date is significant!
Because Joey Numbers has his first feature, Wikia are censoring cocks, and it's 12/12/12. That's why, bitches. Uncyclopedia and social nutworking! Do you have a lame sense of humor that is best expressed in 140 characters or less? Do you enjoy ruining the mojo of entire websites? Do you have a tiny penis, or none at all? Then have we got news for you! Those of you who wish to do a better job of misrepresenting Uncyclopedia on all the popular social platforms, including YouBoob, Twatter, Facebutt, StubbleUpon, Porntrest, Cumblr, Spreddit, and all the others, are hereby invited to hit up Hotadmin4u69's talk page, and to do it forthwith, post-haste. Why? Because Hotadmin4u69 runs Uncyclopedia's social networking presenceses...es, all by his lonesome—or at least he did...until now. But he's NOT GONNA TAKE IT, HE'S NOT GONNA TAKE IT, HE'S NOT GONNA TAKE IT, ANYMOOOOOOOOOOOAH! No, seriously, he's going to quit the wiki entirely (as if he hasn't already) if people don't lend him a hand. He loves you all, but you all suck, and it's a thankless task—almost as thankless as writing and delivering this drivel every week. |

Apocalypse postponed until after NFL playoffs
This week, it was publicly confirmed for the first time that the on-again-off-again Apocalypse has been postponed indefinitely, due to an accumulation of frozen water in and about the subterranean headquarters of Heck, Incorporated. Yes, it appears that Uncyclopedia's dwindling community of degenerates and failed comedy writers (which is literally the same thing, but never mind), having suffered far too long under the Wikian lash of nipple-and-dick censorship, have finally gotten their shit together[citation needed], and are making a move to new hosting. News of the move came in Uncyclopedia's Village Dump, as part of a nonchalant post by Lyrithya, who returned to the site from her current job as a human spiderweb to stun, confound, and enrage exactly two people with her announcement. When asked why she chose now to de-bag her cat, instead of waiting for a more opportune moment (such as, y'know, after the fucking move actually happened), Lyrithya had this to say: "I was drunk." Salient words, indeed, which show she is an Uncyclopedian through-and-through, and which afford the rest of us an overwhelming sense of confidence in the Uncyclodepia Moving Company. Yes. However, while We Here At The UnSignpost™ lounge about and poke fun, you may rest assured that the technicians at Up With Uncyclodepia have not been taking it easy. It's been eleven months of back-breaking work out on the wiki farm, getting up at the crack of noon to shovel out the cow coop, milk the chickens, and slap the sheep for indulging in indelicate thoughts. According to an anonymous source at the highest level of Uncyclopedia's labyrinthine network of cabals, the move quite definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, will be happening at some distant point in the very near future, probably maybe, just as soon as all the ducks are lined up in convenient rows so that they can be loaded onto trains and sent to special camps. When we asked what the bloody devil this meant, we were told to shut up and move along, and that there is no cabal, which we admit must be true, as we have heard it so many times. So, to recap: Uncyclopedia is leaving Wikia for greener pastures, and as most things undertaken by Uncyclopedians happen, it will be slap-dash, semi-competent, and will probably result in everyone involved hating each other to the death, hopefully with the assistance of swords, horses, and heavy artillery. Reaction to the news!
As of press time, the list of Uncyclopedians furious at having been left out of all the fun could not be reached for comment, but are assumed to be boiling with righteous indignation. To make sense of the week's stunning development, we were able to get hold of an expert on all things frozen and hellish: Sumerian demon-king and devil-about-town, Pazuzu. "I was just doing what I usually do," said he, "by which I mean I was hanging out in some northeastern American town, whispering into the ear of a nondescript loner that guns are fun and kids love fun, and hey wouldn't it be cool if you combined the two?, when I heard that Uncyclopedia was leaving Wikia! I said shit, motherfucker! and ran over there as quick as I could to shut that shit down, but it was too late. And now my home Down Under is encased in ice. Man, some days you're the dog, and some days you're the fire hydrant, know what I mean?" We really didn't, but as we have always enjoyed not being frogs, and would prefer to maintain that state, we nodded furiously and thanked our interviewee for his time. Newbies! Protect them, love them, they are our future! Heil Newbies!
How often has someone started a forum 'We're Doomed' or 'Where Domed' , and other variations of the announcement 'this website has moved away from my idea of what is funny' ? So what we can do here, but celebrate a clutch of new fully fledged contributors who arrived on our shores, all fresh and well-scrubbed! In recent months, we had Leverage produce articles faster than bindweed, and now he has joined by the likes of MagicBus (an admirer of The Who or a kaftan nostalgic?), news hound Bill Melater, and the ferocious Fakehater, who will rip your arms off if he detects you're a phony. Then there is Murder_Frog, who swears blind he is unrelated to another amphibian. (Evidently the lily pond is big enough for two croakers.) Another newbie who is currently taking a keen interest in Singapore is CDPCCNAC. What the name means, I have no idea, but perhaps he is wise to leave so few clues about his true identity. Then there is our own Mr Tambourine Man, Equilateralperil. Moving closer to the ground, looking for literary earthworms in his search for Sonic the Hedgehog-related stories, is Igotnothing, whilst from the Land of Connery is Dannyboy1209. A noob with ambition, Danny has already asked to become an admin and has nominated himself for everything. With an attitude like that, this one is going places—here, there or everywhere. Who will become the Noobs of Noobs and win something to stick on their bedroom door? The jury is out, and so am I, tonight. Go ahead, check these fledglings out here. |

edit Normally I don't trust you but I need your honest opinion here
What do you think of this article? Is there anything you think I should change? (I'm asking you since you're the only Admin here who's awake and on Uncyclopedia right now.) 19:05, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
- The article isn't bad, I'd suggest that you try to cut out some of the more unnecessary parts as the article seems to linger around some points. The aspect of buying the dictionary need not take up two sections. There's opportunities for jokes, but consider condensing what you have down into a slightly smaller section. Make sure you also keep it as a general guide, it's fine to say "If you have family who speak Farsi why not swear at them repeatedly and see if they pick up bits of furniture and try to insert it in you", but don't be any more specific than that. Also consider trying to take the article somewhere more unexpected than buy a dictionary, learn Farsi, start swearing. Have a look at some of the other How To's and see if any of the endings there give you some ideas of a better way to finish. Hope that helps. --ChiefjusticeWii 22:08, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, I thought my idea about crazy old Uncle Mahmout went a little too far. Thanks for confirming my belief that I was driving that joke into the ground. (I think that maybe the stuff about the reader's family could be better off it it were put into a footnote.) 19:42, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know how I'm going to misdirect the article and lead it to an ironic ending (I'm irony-impaired, I know you know that since you read my failed article on how to be Matthlock, but I just can't think of anything that would make the reader think "I did not see that coming"). I don't want to stereotype, but since you're British, you could actually probably think of a really good shock ending. Give me an idea and I'll put it into consideration. 20:08, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

edit The Night I Chased Slender
I am having trouble organizing the beginning. I want the piece that goes:
It wasn't my average trip through a forest amongst that amount level of creepy. I don't even remember when I traveled there. I thought at first it was maybe Jigsaw, but no. It was it. It had to be it. It was tall, and its face... NO! It didn't have a fucking face! It had nothing! Not a nose, not a pair of eyes, ears, or a mouth. Whiter than my ass, and my ass is pretty white. It had to be Slenderman. It was abnormal. It had a suit, a black suit. It looked like a man, but it-- there, no. There was no way that thing was human, it is impossible. He was slender and scary, but it didn't get the best of me. I didn't let him-- no! I didn't let it get the best of me. This was my story, my tale, my legend... this was not the night Slender chased me, no. This is the night I chased Slender. I will tell further, if you have the guts. If you're unafraid.
I want it to be like the "post-story" added to the beginning. Like a prelude letter or something. Also, could you go through and proofread it when I am done? Better yet, do you want to collab with this? You do seem to know a lot about Slenderman like I do.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 20:52, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm more than happy to assist you with the article, the bit above may need to be re-hashed a little for the reasons I have gone into. I'll experiment with the article a bit when I have some time if you want. It all depends on where you want it to go. I'll have a look at the intro and see what I can do with it, if you've got any particular suggestions by all means say so, and if you don't like what I decide to try then say that too. Give me a little while and I'll try and make those changes. --ChiefjusticeWii 22:03, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
- I was thinking something like a diary version of the video clips in the movie Cloverfield. Haha.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 22:20, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Possible, I was growing quite attached to the idea of doing more as written from the point of view of someone who is completely obsessed with the Slender Man. This being his account of his singular encounter with the Slender Man. The main issue being that the diary idea from Cloverfield relies on people being able to see what is happening, where we have to explain it we lose the urgency in the narrative. The diary idea can work, it just needs changed a bit. --ChiefjusticeWii 22:29, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
- We can keep him obsessed. While we discuss, can you look at Battle of Hulao Pass? I want to know if that is VFH material.--Sir Peasewhizz de New York (Chat) (Stalk?) 22:38, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Vote! Or else!
Is it that time of year again? It's the time when everyone celebrates the people who are the most remarkable amongst us at everything except what matters. It's time for Writer of the Year, Uncyclopedian of the Year and Useless Gobshite of the Year. These compliment our small selection of awards: WotM, UotM, PotM, NotM, AotM, RotM, EGA, FP, PWotM, ANOTM, Top 10 o' the month, UGotM, VFH, VFD, VFS and VFP. Not forgetting of course to all the userspace awards. Writer of the Year got off to a splendid start when Aleister in Chains nominated Funnybony and SPIKE for the award by writing brief but poignant marriage proposals to both of them. Thank goodness for Aleister, if not for him the wider world might have assumed we weren't all massive girls. Since then Thekillerfroggy nominated Xamralco, who was not able to express his appreciation due to a serious case of not editing the wiki any longer. As always what should be a rigorous heterosexual competition involving manly pursuits like backstabbing, lies, blackmail and threats is being irretrievably compromised by people like Aleister and Shabidoo; people whose sole purpose on the awards pages is to make everybody else feel bad about not noticing other people. Uncyclopedian of the Year is being lead by Romartus, Uncyclopedia's voting-in-chief. Shockingly, he was also nominated by Aleister who, as it turns out, is gayer than Christmas, apparently Romartus makes him "Proud to be an uncyclopedian", he makes "Legendary votes on VFH" and gives "Legendary hand relief". Potatochopper of the Year is a more subdued and manly affair, where absolutely nobody has been nominated at all... it's like reviewer of the month were moved to a different page name. Hopefully Aleister or Shabidoo will nominate someone soon, we here at the UnSignpost have gone to the trouble of writing the nomination for them: "<insert name here> has made many fantastic images, at least two of which I have made love to on at least nineteen occasions. My genitals ache for them every single evening and someday they will make my dreams come true and love me! Also Olipro sucks balls." Olipro was the only nominee for Useless Gobshite of the Year (insert your own joke here), but Zombiebaron quickly joined him in ignominy. Please go vote for both of them so they may end up tied, and share the prize (a year's supply of toilet paper) on their revolving bed built entirely from used condoms and KY bottles. From the desk of the Cabal: 2013 is the year of subservience
Once again you all stand before us, another year of failure behind you and another year of subjugation ahead of you. The non-existent Cabal would like to wish you all a happy New Year. All Once again you have failed us, utterly and completely. Last year we advised you all that resistance was utterly unnecessary and, if anything, we have had to tolerate 0.22% more resistance, we have heard you discuss and then decide to leave our kind benefactors, whilst promoting several of your own number to within the cabal in an effort to encourage dissent and democracy within our ranks. We saw you continue to tinker with that which does not concern you whilst simultaneously complaining when people are warned about the indecent images you propagate amongst your number. It seems prudent to remind you that if we delete every single template, every single image and every single forum your freedom will only increase. It is not what some of you have foolishly referred to as "overly deletionist", it is streamlining and it is good for all of you. It is with vague optimism that we note that you continue to strive at a barely satisfactory level, you have certainly earned a small fraction of the baubles and trinkets that have been handed out over the past year. It has not escaped our notice that the Worst 100 Reflections on 2012 only closed on time this year due to Thekillerfroggy skipping sixty of the reflections, we are gratified to note that Roman Dog Bird had practically no input on the list and very few of them regard uncontrolled outbreaks of creativity and morale, such dangerous forces must be carefully rationed and controlled. Cutting of corners and a blatant disregard for regulations do not amuse the Cabal. Now we must inexorably turn our attentions to 2013 and the promise it brings. All users should note that due to several security compromises over the last few months movement throughout the Uncyclopedia complex has been restricted during the hours of darkness. Where major editing is to take place you must ensure that you have faxed the appropriate forms to your divisional liaison officer prior to commencing work, failure to do so will result in an unacceptable breakdown in bureaucracy. Uncyclopedia must prevail, editors must remember that without patient mind numbing work and servitude we can never accomplish our ultimate goal of... well, that need not concern you. That is all citizens, you may now return to your allocated taskings. |

I liked your comments on the forum. It may be you and I running down the halls here, and with me being fake gay and all, watch your trousers. I don't know what will happen to the site, mainly because this will be the search engine uncyclopedia for a long long time unless that is a number one priority for the people in control of the policies and plans of the new site. It won't be uncyclopedia until when I put "uncy" into the search engine that site comes up. I hope everyone there also keeps a foot in this site, and moves new articles onto each.

Also, as you will be remaining we are going to draw up one policy, wherein a sturdy pair of trousers are worn at all times whilst editing the wiki, I'm not going to be fake gayed to death in my sleep. --ChiefjusticeWii 12:27, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

- As I've already mentioned, I'm not wanting to start making decrees or establishing interim governments until we know what is happening, I'm anxious that we don't fall into an "us and them" mentality, anyone who goes to the new site is welcome back here anytime, no questions asked and no comments made.

- Thanks Spike. Once upon a time you were the Unnews editor. I was bummed when you got moronically banned by the very drama queens, then quit. Global is doing a good job, but I don't know the plan. If it's a legal fact that Wikia purchased and owns "Uncyclopedia" - then this is kinda wrong. I have no objection to ads and a warning note. Unless Wikia charges membership fees or gets enough donations there is no other option. Sorry about using your talk page, Chief. Cheers!--Funnybony

edit A request
I would like to request you review the block of SPIKE made by TKF. I consider entirely unwarranted (as should be clear from that I reverted it twice - arguably not a good move either, but egh) and have taken this up with him previously, but there is little more I can do at this point. Given the politics of the moment (are you leaving? Is TKF? Is SPIKE? How much did that play into this?) and the fact that TKF deopped me, however, I can appreciate that this may not be a situation you would like to step into, but you're one of very few admins left that I know of whom I would consider sensible. -— Lyrithya ༆ 03:22, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
- I'll make this as brief yet thorough as possible, to avoid prolonging this:
- My ban was completely warranted. Spike has been speaking without a filter lately in a whole variety of ways, from calling articles "crap-cakes" to calling Aleister "deluded," and has resumed the arrogant sort of behavior that got him in trouble the last time he was banned. These offenses, cheerfully overlooked because, as Sannse says, this is a tense and strange time for everyone, but the boulder that broke the camel's back is this. Hammering a noob like that is inexcusable from anybody in any situation, let alone someone who repeatedly brags to being one of the only sensible people left on the site (hooray more arrogance), even more let alone someone who is nominated for UotY. The ban, as I see it, is well-justified and unavoidable. Zombiebaron agreed on IRC.
- Lyrithya undid the ban rashly and without context. She says herself how out-of-the-loop she feels, and she speaks the truth. The fact that she undid my ban means nothing. Romartus undid my ban because he thought I based it on the conversation on Socky's talkpage, where Spike call's Kip's article a "crapcake." I specified my reason with the second ban and, so far, Romartus has said nothing.
- I deopped Lyrithya in order to shorten this argument, knowing tensions were so high, and prevent further rash conflicts. This is not the first time I've deopped her briefly as a cooldown (a hella controversial practice, I know, but it's proven to be pretty effective). I was about to restore her before I noticed Zombiebaron had done it first(again, my talk page).
- Them's the facts, sir justice sir. -- 03:46, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not wishing to pour oil on troubled waters here by going into the specifics of whether what happened last night are right or wrong, I will give you my thoughts on SPIKE's block. SPIKE, it seems to me, has come in for a great deal of stick from a number of people on this wiki and while telling newer users that by moving to the new site they will be "sucking up to autocrats" is not particularly friendly, it is not exactly unprovoked, if not by the user in question. A ban it seems to me is appropriate in the context of what has been done, SPIKE needs some time to cool off and calm himself down a bit, a brief ban justifies that means.
- I do not excuse arrogant and rude behaviour from anybody but I feel it is rash to overlook the situation as it is, the community is going two separate ways and tensions are quite high because of that. SPIKE should serve a brief ban for violations of rule 2 and biting the noobs, but I feel a month is a very long time for an established user who has proven multiple times that he only has the best interests of the wiki at heart, we should also consider the backdrop to SPIKE's current behaviour and accept that others in this community are not wholly guiltless in causing it.
- Lyrithya: I would like to think that the block is not in the context of the site move, at least not in the sense that it would cause any issues for those remaining here, as far as de-opping you goes that is down to TKF's judgement, that is a right the community gave to him. As administrators we have to accept some of the opinions and actions of our fellows in good faith; wheel warring is never where we want to be. I would say that approaching TKF and trying to come to some kind of compromise is better than a wheel war over the block.
- I propose that SPIKE's block is reduced to 48 hours starting from last night in the interests of ending this argument and considering more important things, for instance, the question of sniffing attractive people whilst standing behind them in queues to "see if they smell nice too". I'm personally all in favour but nobody else seems to want to talk about it. --ChiefjusticeWii 07:28, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Fair compromise. I'll go get the nose extensions. -- 07:50, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Chief. I've been Patrolling edits and there are a few remnants of the big vandalism wave in RecentChanges (click Hide Patrolled) from the 11th and the 12th. I defer to you on these, as the goal is not to reverse specific changes but to restore the pages, some of which were vandalized in multiple ways. Cheers. Spıke ¬ 15:55 13-Jan-13

edit Bronies
Good sir,
I would like to ask you for assistance. At the time you deleted the Bronies page, I had already attempted to complete the page to no avail. I had also asked Romartus to help me improve the formatting - but no matter how I tried to edit the page to make it more acceptable, the WIP tag would not go away.
Although I'm asking a lot, I would kindly ask you to restore the page with all the necessary changes done. The reason I ask this is not to be ungrateful but because I'm lousy at formatting. If you could also tell me what exactly needs to be done in order to make it an acceptable article, I would be much obliged.
Finally, if you cannot restore the page, I would very much like a copy.
PS I had to edit another headline on your talk-page - it is now named "Vandalism", since under the previous name, the page would not allow me to save these changes.
--TrollzinSpace101 (talk) 08:46, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
- I have restored the page into mainspace. I have made a couple of changes to it but do not wish to go about making bigger changes to the formatting without some direction from you. The main problem as I see it is the massive image of the map which would be OK in a smaller size but the big, unrestricted size just looks untidy. You are also doing a lot of unnecessary spacing which isn't helping you out either. I've altered the first line of the article to a simple disambiguation and moved some bits closer together as well as changing the Polish wikipedia template to our bog standard wikipedia template. I'm happy to make some more changes to the article if you'd like, just let me know what you want doing with the map image and if there's anything that should categorically not be removed from the article. --ChiefjusticeWii 09:09, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
edit User Ralfiano
You blocked Ralfiano for two days for cyberbullying, evidently on UnPoetia:Ronald Mcdonald. But "Jimmy Saville" [sic] is a perv in the news. Before I saw your ban, I reverted him at Folk, where he stated that a list was "widely regarded as some of the shittest musicians in the world." Recommend you block him instead for being a dope. Spıke ¬ 11:47 15-Jan-13
- He had created a page which I had already deleted called "Declan", this was about how "Declan" has a ficticious medical condition that prevents him excelling in various school subjects, hence the ban for cyberbullying. --ChiefjusticeWii 13:12, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

edit User Animalcollective94
You were correct in tagging Ice cream tub and elastic bands with {{ICU}} but (as I wrote on QVFD) I would have given him more of a chance before deleting it. After his first blanking, I wrote to his talk page suggesting that he keep trying. His second blanking may be the result of shock at seeing a sign of official disapproval; he might not even know that other people are looking at his writing. If you would return this to userspace, I'll contact him again and see if we can salvage him. Spıke ¬ 15:55 18-Jan-13
- Page blank by sole editor is QVFD material. Recreation of deleted content is pushing ban-worthiness, but I chalk this one to noobishness. Maybe a polite nudge on how to create content in name space might be worth a pop? 04:11 18 Jan
My verdict on him is noobishness, and he should not be punished for his second try as it was probably a result of my nudge. I have a polite nudge written, depending on what the Chief has to say. AC94 is too noobish to have replied to my earlier contact. Spıke ¬ 16:18 18-Jan-13
- I've dropped a copy back into userspace, I appreciate we are trying to help them, but we must balance that with quality assurance and it is imperative he/she realises that the ICU isn't to tell people that the work is bad, but to let us check up on it in a week so we can get rid if it is abandoned whilst incomplete. Perhaps try and prod them towards making some more active contributions elsewhere in the community to get to know us all, that might help them understand the tags and the procedure. --ChiefjusticeWii 17:50, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
I'll revise my remarks to include that point. Spıke ¬ 17:53 18-Jan-13
edit McDonald's/McMenu
I could be wrong, but this is possibly a recreation of deleted material. It's QVFD worthy, but I'm hesitant to add it to QVFD as it's a subpage - and as part of a greater whole it may be worth keeping. Gut feeling is to firstly delete, and secondly to axe any links to it, but I'm handing it to you to check out previously deleted versions first. 04:08 18 Jan
- There are no deleted revisions which match up with this one. There is a very similar one from March 2011, but it was more extensive than this one. The only mainspace link is through the McDonalds article which isn't particularly compelling itself. If this page is to exist it needs to serve a purpose and for that it would need to be longer and be amusing in its own right. I'd delete as it is now, but I'll let you make the call, chuck it on QVFD if you think it should go. --ChiefjusticeWii 17:42, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
edit Wikiabot
This thing is being annoying. I can't patrol the changes as the page is locked to Admin+ access. As this bot is not an account per se, it also can't be marked as auto-patrolled. Can I get you to mark off this as a patrolled edit? 03:26 19 Jan

Are we closing noms at 0:00 UTC tonight? 09:11 21 Jan
- Yes indeed. Coincidentally, voting begins immediately afterwards! --ChiefjusticeWii 13:39, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
edit Chief, what the hell.
I'm still in the race for VFS-- I actually had three votes at your time of "moving". What is the deal? 13:48 23 January 2013
- Aimsplode, the reasons I struck your nomination are as follows: You were once banned indefinitely on this wiki for bullying, rudeness and inappropriate behaviour. Your reappearance here coincided with your being banned indefinitely from the forked wiki. You have not contributed to mainspace since November, all your edits are to forums, VFH, your userspace and occasionally to QVFD articles from your userspace. All the votes you had polled were from yourself, two people who have moved over to the other wiki , where cries to have your indefinite ban revoked are noticeably absent, someone who hasn't edited in 7 months and Kip the Dip. You have a disregard for other people's contributions and revert administrators when you believe they have acted "unfairly". If you want to be an admin you need to demonstrate commitment to this wiki, a change in your behaviour and a nomination from a user consistently editing here. That is why I made my decision to remove the nomination. --ChiefjusticeWii 14:29, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Just because you believe I am all of these things does not make it true. If the populace wants to make me an admin, then they should. And they are voting. Just because you, one person, does not like the selection, does not make it official. That's why we vote in the first place. 14:56 23 January 2013
- Chief, I think your decision and rationale should appear in the record at UN:VFS. Spıke ¬ 14:58 23-Jan-13
- Aimsplode, that is my decision. It is final. I do not simply believe all those things, I have seen your contributions and attitude in person. --ChiefjusticeWii 15:15, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Cheif, I think I'll put this here to keep all the VFS stuff on your talkpage in one place. While I completely disagree with your circumvention of the democratic process re:Aimsplode's nomination, I have something else that I am here to ask about. Can you please tell me why sannse changed your userrights? That is typically the job of active community crats. I was on IRC all that night and nobody tried to contact me so I could update your userrights. I would very much like to remain a part of this community and I am hurt that I seem to be being excluded for no reason. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 19:39, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I did not intend to exclude you from the process. I was working a night shift on the 21st and Sannse had emailed me at about 21:00 my time about a separate issue and I replied and asked if she could do it. Had I been sat at home I would have gone on IRC to speak to you, as it was I simply asked Sannse because she was there, not intending to exclude anyone from anything.
- As regards Aimsplode's nomination, I say again, if you are so keen on him you can op him on the fork, had I closed the VFS vote to persons who are primarily editing the forked uncyc Aimsplode would have not have been nominated and if he had would have so far polled 1 vote, from himself. I am not interested in this wiki becoming the butt of a joke,I have seen discussions on IRC along the lines of "It'll be hilarious if Aimsplode is made an admin on the old Uncyc". I have gone out of my way to include persons who have moved to the new wiki and been as tolerant as I can be, but where the votes are "For. Now I'm pissing off back to the other wiki" or "Lol this is so funny" I will not sit and watch it happen.
- I do not wish to tar everyone with the same brush, many users who have gone to the fork have voted sensibly and properly, however when all the votes for Aimsplode are from people primarily using a wiki he is banned indefinitely from I begin to question whether I am witnessing a democratic process or a deliberate abuse of that process by people wishing to have a "joke" candidate opped here. Aimsplode may someday be an admin here, but that will be after he demonstrates that he wants to improve the wiki, not just have some extra buttons. Were there any question in my mind that the users remaining on this wiki "sincerely want him as administrator" I would re-instate the nomination, but the fact is that those voices are not forthcoming. If anyone who has made consistent edits to this wiki since the split wishes to dispute my decision then I will reverse it. As it stands the people who "sincerely" want him to be an administrator are the same people who are hoping that this version of Uncyclopedia is "buried" by the new wiki. This is not an acceptable state of affairs.
- TL;DR version, I still love Zombiebaron. --ChiefjusticeWii 22:37, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- And you are thereby invalidating real votes from administrators and users because you do not like the reasons why someone was voted for. --Hotadmin4u69 [TALK] 22:52 Jan 23 2013
- Ok I understand why you talked to sannse instead of me. I don't like the precedent that it sets, but whatever. I do not, however, understand why you removed Aimsplodes nomination. There seems to be a major erosion of trust as a result of the move, and nearly everyone on the Wikia site appears to be assuming bad faith from those they perceive to have abandoned them. If it seems like maybe a few of us are joking around, take a step back and see that we are on a comedy website. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 22:55, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I would define attempting to corrupt the result of a vote by deliberately voting for a ridiculous candidate ans an exceptionally ggod reason to dislike a vote. I have seen several discussions on IRC about how funny it would be if Aimsplode were made an admin. I assumed good faith in the vote itself by allowing persons who had moved to the fork to vote, despite arguments from others to prevent them from doing so. The result has been that I am being accused of being a demonic fusion of Stalin and Hitler for striking a nomination for a user you guys banned indefinitely 1 week after the split for being "An arrogant, unrepentant asshole". I am distressed to hear that I am now being accused of assuming bad faith despite having seen evidence for people acting in exactly that way. Nobody who had voted for Aimsplode edits here any more and the instant wheel warring from EMC when someone does something he doesn't like makes a mix that is near guaranteed to foster both resentment and an erosion of trust.
- I do not feel abandoned, I feel the community that has remained is being treated unfairly by those who have gone, being regularly described as bitter, foolish and ridiculous. I've read the forums, watched the IRC chats and seen the comments on talk pages. I wish I could continue not to mistrust many of the users who have moved, by their stated intention in many cases is to ultimately "bury" a wiki that I continue to maintain. --ChiefjusticeWii 23:03, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I unbanned Aimsplode because you incorrectly assumed that he had reinstated his VFS nomination. So please let me know what wheel warring you're talking about. --Hotadmin4u69 [TALK] 23:07 Jan 23 2013

- Hey ZB. On the issue of asking Sannse - the change logs are here, if that helps you get an idea of timeframes. You weren't excluded as far as I can see, just second to the party. (Sorry if I came across as frivolous on that earlier, but I assumed you would assume good faith.)
- As for Aimsplode being removed - didn't you do the same with the MrEx nomination going back a while ago? And didn't I call you out on it? And didn't your decision stand? All rhetorical questions - I recently reread the exchange on the talkpage of UN:VFS. Wouldn't leaving the nomination there and allowing people to continue voting to pull it out at the last second be more of an issue? 11:05 23 Jan
- Mr-ex got one vote in a nomination round, the purpose of which was to not have frivolous nominations in the main voting round. I do not see how that is parallel to throwing away several votes from both users and admins. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 23:15, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
Is there going to be another round of admin voting? If so, then why sweat the user round so much, no matter the baldly shitty faith of whomever? With a race as tight as 4-2-3-3-1-0, leaving him nominally in won't impact the final outcome none. -- 23:28, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I am curious. When did exactly Aimsplode show all those qualities that made him an ideal sysop for this site? Someone promising good behavior is not the same as actually doing anything constructive, rather than destructive as his ban log so evidently exhibits. --

edit Another, but less Drama-filled VFS issue
In many of the nominations, there are statements that look like they could be either a vote or just a comment. Obviously, that is an issue when trying to determine vote count. --Mn-z 19:20, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- We'll have a final count closer to the end of the month. Hopefully avoiding any drama in the process. --ChiefjusticeWii 22:38, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm concerned if we don't clarify earlier it'll create drama. I was going to go through and start adding "for", "against" and "comment" to those that missed them, based upon my understanding of what those users were after. It'd mean making assumption, but It'll create less work unravelling it in the end, and give people a chance to clarify themselves if unhappy. 11:05 23 Jan
- When someone says "Clearly the best" or "the only suitable candidate," I would (correctly) assume it to be a vote. Context clues are a thing. I would only worry about it if it's a Lyrithya-esque massive, ambivalent paragraph situation on every single nomination. -- 23:26, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Your votes are clear even if not clearly marked. (For Sims, I seem to recall, and definite Against me). Not everyone has recognised that, which is why I'd rather bring it down to a clearer perspective. (As both of your votes had been stricken due to that ambiguity previously.) VFS is a drama-fest, as usual. Let's try and minimise it with a little clarity.
- Speaking of which, the exchange you and I had on my nomination deserves to be read, but it's making clutter. Do you mind if it's in a “show/hide” thingy to clean that page up? (My preference for neatness while keeping things clean, but I don't want to appear to be trying to remove your comments. And could you change “untrustable” to “untrustworthy”. I assume it's what you mean, but it could also be confused for “distrustful”. It caused me to have to clarify via the context.) 12:15 24 Jan
edit "I think you know why"
But, do you? The last restoration of the voting for Aimsplode (at 21:31) was by Meganew.
Hotadmin was on recently and I made two requests to him regarding users. Most importantly, the Template Spammer returned. Could you re-ban that guy (it's on Ban Patrol too). My other request to Hotadmin was Autopatrolled for Lollapalloser. Spıke ¬ 22:46 23-Jan-13

edit Epica
Chief, I think ICU may be harsh for this article: It is about a real band (that none of us will ever listen to) and even the mayhem-centric comedy take seems to relate to something in reality. I've given it small tweaks and pointed it to the corresponding Wikipedia article, and advised the author about how best to write band-cruft. Spıke ¬ 15:41 25-Jan-13
- Ultimately it makes little difference between ICU and WIP. It's just to ensure the article isn't abandoned following it starting off. If the author is happy for us to replace the ICU with a WIP then there's no issue. --ChiefjusticeWii 16:03, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
edit Yet another complaint
Against votes...count. 04:38 26 January 2013
- Ho hum. 04:59 26 Jan

- Yeah, I haven't seen a real-world election where against votes count. Aimsplode, you should be glad they don't count, you have lots of votes now. And I'd suggest that you prepare to be an admin, even though your nom may not survive the obstacle course to come, by becoming more active on the site and by asking present admins what the most important jobs are, how to do them, how to patrol effictively (I found catergorizing helps, through it I've learned the site, where things are, when an IP edit is in good faith and if their edits fit the page or doesn't - kind of like getting good at judging intent). You should maybe ask all admins to adopt you as an admin, to show you how they do it and why, all the things you need to know. I for two have faith that you will use this experience as a learning curve both for your on-line life and your off-line life. It's like God is handing you a gift, and with this gift you can learn how to expand your understanding of other people, of emotions, of caring for something as large and Unimportant as uncyclopedia, and how to watch your temper so it comes out in a diplomatic way rather than an "them versus me" way. Stuff like that. And I've got a feeling that as this becomes real you may want to turn it down. I'd suggest you don't, and that you try it for awhile, and both play and work with a great spirit.

- I would suggest clearing the votes and starting over. Also, maybe 3 votes per person would make more sense. Or, maybe temporary admins until the end of March, so we can who is and isn't editing here in good faith. Perhaps we could op 2, but give chief justice the right to de-op the temporary admin, and replace with the 3rd place finisher at his judgment. --Mn-z 11:58, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
- All the noise in the current vote has come from two other wikis, and I would no more have them make our decision for us than keep us from making one at all. But I don't mind making any new Admins probationary and letting the Chief de-op for cause--less eager to let him declare that a loser is actually a winner. We can already see who's editing in good faith (for example, since 5-Jan); the hope I expressed that opping Simsie would draw her in is diminished by the fact that nominating her hasn't, except for brief patrolling. On more minor points, the promotion of the Chief is done and had no controversy at all. And three votes for two Admins doesn't make sense. Spıke ¬ 13:07 26-Jan-13

edit Getting back to VFS
What if we op 3 probationary admins? I think de-opping someone tben re-opping someone else might have some issues. Or, what if we op 3 admins, then launch a Deop forum if and when one (or more) of the new ops gets out of line. --Mn-z 14:04, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Probation for everyone (except the two drop-ins who got contentious during their own candidacy) (count me out too if that solves anything). This is justified by the current situation, in which the Chief and Romartus are the only Admins providing more than sporadic coverage. But moving from an observation of excessive drama to a potential "Deop forum" is crazy. Spıke ¬ 14:17 26-Jan-13

edit An Explanation
I merely want to know why you eliminated my nomination for admin when, unlike Aim's massive bandwagon vote, I was wholeheartedly serious about these proceedings. With no offense, it disgusts me to see the bureaucracy take my sincere attempt at running for admin in a time that the Wikia Uncyc requires such a thing by treating my solidly serious nom for admin. Give me a real reason for doing it, please... I've had long enough relations with the admins to know what dodgy and otherwise non-sustenant responses are.
Thank you,

UncyclopedianMeganew (Chat) (Care for a peek at my work?) (SUCK IT, FROGGY!) 01:00, January 29, 2013 (UTC)- It was agreed between myself and Romartus that your nomination be removed as you have not made contributions to mainspace articles for over 3 months and you primarily edit forums and talk pages. We also wished to ensure that the bandwagon voting did not simply switch over to you. I appreciate that you will be disappointed but there is always the chance to be nominated for VFS in future and the best way to achieve that is to contribute consistently to the wiki rather than simply hoping to be nominated when a VFS takes place. I hope that satisfies your request for an explanation. --ChiefjusticeWii 07:38, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, ChiefjusticeDS. I am here today to beg ask very politely for you to adopt me.
--LumaShock (talk) 19:18, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Hi LumaShock, I'm more than happy to adopt you. There's very little to it to be honest, you drop me a message on my talk page any time you have a question or want assistance doing anything. You can use the "email this user" function to get in touch if required. I'm usually about every single day, I'm sad that way. --ChiefjusticeWii 20:20, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
edit Please adopt me too
And since I'm asking you, an idea for executive action. Can we just admin all four candidates (by changing the number to 4 instead of 2, that should do it). For obvious reasons, and because no other admin has shown up to take up the workload. Aleister 19:30 31-1-'13
- Ultimately there is no rush to op people, and I would hesitate to op all 4 candidates, we should try to op based on requirement, if the two candidates we get from this VFS aren't enough then we can easily op the others over the next couple of months. Adminship isn't something everyone needs, there's a predisposition to maintenance and I'd much rather people don't see potential adminship as the only reason to write on or maintain the site. --ChiefjusticeWii 20:26, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

edit Voting systems
Hey,
Just a thought. We have abundle of systems we use for voting. Some of them work well - VFH, NotM - and some of them work poorly - VFS (obvs), VFD. What I'd like to do is use some of the more structured systems we have on some of the more awkward votes. As a for instance, use the VFH format on VFS, wher the comments are obviously separate from the votes, but keep the votes to “For” only. 'otY people done like our 'otY for articles (auto nominations for those who hit an 'otM in that area over the year). Stuff like that. Given we're in a position where we can comfortably change the structure going forward, it may be the time to start working out those structures. 08:52 04 Feb
- I'm open to suggestions. Different procedures--if they are improvements--will further distinguish us from a certain impostor Uncyclopedia. Aleister has proposed on Romartus's talk page an administrative alternative to waiting for voters to straggle by on VFH, but I don't like a rule that gives specific powers to named individuals nor requires them to read everything self-nommed on VFH. The voting system at VFD works just fine, only there are no voters any more.
- Other unsolicited suggestions:
- We should renounce the tradition (just when I could benefit from it!) that Admins have 2 votes. There are some things that Admins can do with no vote at all, such as ban and huff. Admins are ultimately in a position to say that any given question should not be subject to a vote at all. However, if we agree that a certain decision needs wide buy-in and that everyone's opinion is valid, we ought not invent arithmetical tricks to skew the result.
- If there is a way to make sport of our recent drama-fest without thereby prolonging it, it is time for an UnSignpost.
- I've added the two new guys to UN:AA and, with fond memories of Rev. Zim ulator, distributed the insignia. It would be useful if UN:AA were a table with at least each admin's home timezone (for those who care to disclose it) so that people can get a sense of who is likely to be on call at given times of day.

edit Calcitetrol's Wildeisms
I came to the same conclusion as you on that user's out-of-control and unfunny Wildeisms--I think I reverted four more that he added as Anon--but was trying to give him a chance for repair and maybe even clean-up at User talk:Calcitetrol. But let your revert stand. Spıke ¬ 11:27 8-Feb-13
- He added a bad Wilde quote to Street Fighter. He has no sense of humour. It's a mercy killing. 11:33 08 Feb
You might revert in the name of consistency. At this point there are so many that he is not going to go back to all of them and "do the right thing." Spıke ¬ 11:43 8-Feb-13
- Already undone edit by Chief. I'm not sure if it works on here as it may be different depending upon the version of wikimedia, but there is an option to “nuke” edits on the mirror. That'll revert (or maybe undo) all edits made by a user if the edits are the top edit of a page. I remember UU mentioned it once many moons ago. I can look into the process again if needs be for here. But we do tend to undo or revert most edits on merit, and that tends to be a one at a time effort, so it may be a possible option that you choose to not use. 11:57 08 Feb
To be clear, I meant revert Calcitetrol on Street Fighter only. I don't propose to countermand the Chief, least of all nuke him, and I see no merit to Calcitetrol's edits, only a teachable moment. I had already returned to his talk page and explained why he had been reverted. Spıke ¬ 12:03 8-Feb-13

Okay - my coding is not always perfect, so be ready to revert this if it goes askew.

- User:PuppyOnTheRadio/MediaWiki:Common.css (sort of) replace MediaWiki:Common.css
I've only edited the areas of common.css directly related to the content warning. This should replace the content warning completely. I'd suggest having a second browser open to check the content warning after the changes have been made (one where you're not logged in) just to be on the safe side. If it buggers up, then revert. 12:40 12 Feb

Indeed it does not serve us to have a user with a name that permanently references a mishap with me, especially as Romartus says the Fork is about to do an UnSignpost on our harsh rule.

edit Special:AbuseFilter
I mentioned privately that I had edited a number of these, merely to improve their description (from, for example, "something something".)
Today I continued editing their documentation:
- Applying further changes to their descriptions
- Changing filters 7 and 15 from "deleted" to "disabled" so they will appear in the listing, though continuing to not take effect, along with a description of the original intention
- Changing the location of page breaks in the code of some abuse filters, for clarity, and
- On disabled filter 15 (Block any and all edits), remove the "block" reaction to make it even clearer that it isn't in effect.
With your permission, I'll make one substantive change: Abuse filter 17 is triggered when someone adds a line with "http://" or "https://" to a page (and does not delete such a line; that is, is not merely editing an existing link). Currently there is no reaction. I'd like to add "Tag" as the reaction, so it will show up in Special:RecentChanges in the same way as removing {{ICU}} or {{Construction}} does. I'd like to see these changes because "we are not a catalog of funny stuff available elsewhere on the Web" and such edits are usually revert-worthy. Spıke ¬ 18:41 20-Feb-13

- I just ran through a few tests myself (same location). As far as I can tell it's working smoothly. 12:27 21 Feb 2013
But only your fourth edit (12:25) actually got the legend in RecentChanges. Why do you think that is? I changed the coding; it used to define what a weblink looked like, but MediaWiki already knows, and counts them, so I just used the count. Unique weblinks added must exceed unique weblinks removed for it to fire. Spıke ¬ 12:31 21-Feb-13

It would be easiest for the filter to special-case UN:BP. Where else do we ever use {{IP}}? 14:50 PS--I coded UN:BP as an exception; also the entire UnNews namespace, where we tell 'em to provide at least one Source, which is typically an external link.

edit Template:Ban Patrol instructions
As a consequence of studying the code at Ban Patrol, I've done two things:
- Moved the instructions into a template so reporting users don't have to wade through them in the edit window (if they edit the page and not just the correct section) and,
- Edited them to sort the instructions by audience and by sequence, and not to crack wise except at the start. (Indeed it doesn't need to contain my username but it ought no longer include ZB's.)
Should I put one or both of these steps into effect at UN:BP? Edit the template as you see fit. Spıke ¬ 15:38 21-Feb-13
- I've made a couple of cosmetic changes to it, the light-heartedness of Uncyclopedia is very important as it is what stops us being the "Humorous Essays" category on Wikipedia and we should keep hold of the warnings at the end rather than moving them back into the text as a warning. I've also changed instances of the word "offender" to "user" as it sounds better and more friendly. Otherwise the template isn't a bad idea. Make sure it's protected when added, Ban Patrol itself should keep it's current protection level. --ChiefjusticeWii 08:28, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

edit Abuse Filter 3
This filter seeks to keep Anon from blanking pages in userspace. I've edited this just to improve the documentation. The documentation in most of these filters was from Lyrithya and the only evident purpose seems to be to give the impression she didn't know what she was doing.
The filter's current definition is:
(article_namespace = 3 | article_namespace = 2)
& !user_groups contains "user"
& !contains_any(article_text, "/", user_name)
& !(user_name in removed_lines)
& !(summary rlike "rv|evert|Undid|vand")
& old_size > 350
& (new_size < 267|edit_delta <-350)
& !(lcase(added_lines) rlike "^#\s*redirect\s*\[\[|{{subst:")
- "user_groups contains "user" is odd, compared to other filters, which use "autoconfirmed"--which, on Uncyclopedia, all users are.[1]
- The next two lines refer to user_name, which is peculiar, as we assume the guy isn't logged in.[2]
- The lines with numbers describe the old and new size of the page, and the net change to the size of the page, that trigger the filter.
- The other lines list cases that might cause the edit to be considered reasonable. I don't think so, as again, the guy isn't logged in. It doesn't excuse anything that Anon is turning a user page into a REDIRECT. He can do anything he wants to, subject to review, after logging in. These lines are why the definition of the filter is not made public.
Here is what I think:
- Anon should be able to edit any talk page in userspace. (But perhaps only by adding lines. Testing for "removed_lines = 0" is harsh and would keep Anon from even fixing a typo in an earlier post. More lenient tests could not prevent Anon from deleting good stuff by adding bulkier bad stuff.)
- Anon should not be able to edit user article space, including user pages, ever, not even give someone an award nomination template. Again: He can log in first. Spıke ¬ 15:28 22-Feb-13
Abuse Filter 15 (formerly a filter we weren't using, to keep anyone from editing on his first day) now is the same code without the exclusions. It matches all Anon edits to userspace and "massive deletions" anywhere else. But all it does is put a warning in RecentChanges. It matched my deliberate test at 3:44 UTC, and says it would not have matched any of the previous 100 edits. Spıke ¬ 03:51 28-Feb-13
I've edited Abuse Filter 8 (our ED Filter) to warn and prevent any edits by Anon whose Change Summary contains "gucci". This is for the guy who keeps hitting Template talkspace. Spıke ¬ 13:44 28-Feb-13

edit Idiot Suppression System
Abuse filter 11 was aimed at one specific attack by a vandal who could change his IP at will and was willing to register as multiple Uncyclopedia users. The vandal tried to code annoying widgets that would float at a fixed position on the reader's screen. (We still have a template that does this.) (This vandal may have come from ED and this may be why the filter was named Idiot Suppression.) He might code this as a DIV. He would try to evade detection by pattern-matching by breaking up the word DIV with an HTML comment:
<D<!--comment-->IV ...
Abuse filter 11 cautiously exempted edits that removed as well as added such lines, for example, made a harmless edit to a pre-existing line. But the filter would match a variety of other things in a long line of HTML, such as:
<DIV>...</DIV> <!--Line added by Spike--> <SPAN>...</SPAN>

- I do not see it as essential, I think we're running with enough admins at present. I am sorry that I have not been active, I have unfortunately been ill for the last few days and unable to edit the wiki. Hopefully I will be around a bit more over the next few days. --ChiefjusticeWii 06:45, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
edit I Think This Goes Here
Hey I'm quite new here as you can probably see and it was recently brought to my attention that there is a noob adoption program thing here. As condescending as the program sounds I figured I'd give it a try. So if you'd be willing to take m eon I'd appreciate it a lot. (And sorry in advance if I break something here or screw up this formatting stuff. I'm not really used to a wiki environment.) --Atrolantra (talk) 09:10, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
- I'll have you know that Chief is quite a horrible person with a terrible oral hygiene (he's English after all). Until he comes back feel free to ask me for help as well, I will return you to his custody when he's back. Also, hi Chief, how have you been, princes? ~

edit Can you give me some ideas?
Do you know about Sailor Moon? I was wondering if you could read the page in my userspace and give me some ideas.

Pissing About It has been noted recently that there has been a huge decrease in the number of pee reviews made each week. Before some hard-work pissing a few days ago there were still pee reviews from November 2012 left to review. This has made many uncyclopedians unhappy that their work isn't being pissed on by other more experienced and toilet trained uncyclopedians. Remember that if you want to have your article reviewed then you must first review someone elses. There has been an influx of noobs joining these last five months and many of them would love help on how to improve their articles and help on how to make them funny. Many noobs such as Dannyboy and Anton199 have been struggling to produce good-quality articles and have required information from admins and a few others that their articles are bad or not funny but they are not being told the specifics and how to improve the articles. The general message that Uncyclopedia and Unsignpost want to put out is stop day dreaming and start "pissing about." Get on the pee review page and write a few reviews every week. Even upload some articles to be reviewed. By doing this we can turn the Pee Review page from a stagnant wasteland of tripe into a growing community with bonds of friendship being made between the reviewers and the writers The same situation applies to the Votes For Highlight page which sees its usual voters ever week however the number of regular visitors and contributors to the VFH page is not enough for the articles there to get high enough votes to either fail or pass being features. When you visit that page please try to vote for and/or against on as many articles as you can so that everyday can have a new article featured. Recently on the VFH page we have seen the articles Thainglish and Modus ponens go through to pass the test. However these were featured a few days ago and are likely to be up for a week. Contenders for the next featured article seem to be Flag Burning Amendment(5/2), UnNews:A-bombs dropped on Japan awarded Nobel Peace Prize(5/0) and Capitalism: in grammar(5/1). Article 2
Nobody is writing this article this week as nobody has contributed. Apparently somebody's excuse for not contributing was that nobody had done it already which really isn't a valid excuse. Somebody encourages others to write in this space the next time UnSignpost is released so that nobody doesn't have to do it again. Nobody has been writing the last three month's UnSignposts after all. Anyway back to the point. Nobody would like to point out that recent events in the news such as the war against the other uncyclopedia websites with the April Fools prank which admitedly nobody knows anything about but somebody may be able to tell you more on that story. Also Magaret Thatcher, the role model, has died so Uncyclopedia is looking for someone to write a funeral song for her to be played at that glorius moment. I mean glorious in that we can celebrate her awful policies in politics - awfully good policies that is. The last and only entry we have received so far was, UnTunes:Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead however sadly this was banned and deleted by wikia authorities before we got the chance to hear it. |
