A barnstar for you!

[edit]
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Very impressed with your prolific work at the 20,000 Challenge! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:16, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's very kind, many thanks! Warofdreams talk 23:04, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hellifield Peel Castle

[edit]

Hi Warofdreams. Thanks for creating Hellifield Peel Castle. Apart from the Grand Designs sources, everyone else seems to call it Hellifield Peel. I wonder if they added “castle” in case their audience didn’t recognise the word “peel”. A peel isn’t a castle, and vice versa. Would you have any objection to me (or you) renaming it? --Northernhenge (talk) 15:26, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Northernhenge no objections at all, to be honest I can't remember why I picked that title in the first place and the rename makes perfect sense. Warofdreams talk 15:51, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Page moved! --Northernhenge (talk) 16:42, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

RDWC

[edit]

Hey! Hope you are doing well. I saw you reverted that change to the name of the RDWC article. Looks like the talk page still needs to be reverted too when you have a chance. That editor appeared out of nowhere and has been barreling through, they deleted the talk page notice I shared. Echoedmyron (talk) 22:16, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good, thanks, hope you are too! I hadn't spotted that I hadn't moved the talk page, thanks for letting me know, I've now fixed that. I'm hoping that the editor was acting in good faith and just incorrectly assumed it should have be a counterpart to the Men's Roller Derby World Cup article, shame they didn't discuss first. It does remind me that at some point I should write an article on the JRDA World Cup, should be plenty of sources now. Warofdreams talk 22:28, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

UK by-election records article

[edit]

Hey. I'm copy and pasting this message to regular editors of the UK by-election records article, more in slight bemused shock than anything else. I've just recieved a brand new, freshly published book from Iain Dale, "British by-elections 1769-2025". His preface and the reference tables are blatant lifts and copies of the by-election records article. It's clearly an obvious lift! We could retcon the citations it's that obvious! Must have made the right impression with all the hard work we put into the page. Speak soon doktorb wordsdeeds 22:07, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's nice to see that the information is proving useful but a shame it's not been referenced as a source! Looking at Dale's lengthy bibliography, perhaps it's unsurprising that he isn't fully researching this himself. Will just have to ensure that nobody uses Dale's book as a reference for our article.

Guide to temporary accounts

[edit]

Hello, Warofdreams. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

Editing from a temporary account
  • When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
  • All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
  • A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
  • As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
    • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
    • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

How to enable IP Reveal

Impact for administrators

  • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
  • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
  • Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

  • Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
  • Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
  • See Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

  • It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Tick Enable the user info card
    • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
  • Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
  • Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
  • The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.
