Are you a Wikipedia administrator? If so, then that is all you need to help out at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations! You don't need anyone's permission to get started. Feel free to jump right in! If you need a place to help you get started, this page is for you.
First steps
[edit]Scripts
[edit]The following scripts are listed in order of "essential" to "nice to have". They take care of much of the tedious minutiae so you can focus on evaluating the evidence and making blocking decisions.
- User:GeneralNotability/spihelper
- "Strike out usernames that have been blocked" from Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets
- CU staleness scripts. Add the following lines to Special:MyPage/common.js. The first one flags whether accounts are fresh or stale on SPI subpages, while the second one does the same thing for sockpuppet category pages.
mw.loader.load("/w/index.php?title=User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/cuStaleness.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");mw.loader.load("/w/index.php?title=User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/sockStaleness.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");
- RoySmith's tag check script: checks whether socks have already been tagged.
importScript('User:RoySmith/tag-check.js');
