ChenzwBot (Again)
change- This seems like another false positive? here --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 22:27, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Note that I only added Again, to avoid confusion between the 2 headers with the same text, not meant to be viewed as a negative word --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 22:28, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, I have added the diff to the bot's training set. Chenzw Talk 06:37, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Mass Rollback (Twinkle)
change- Do you know if Twinkle has a mass rollback function? --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 03:47, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- I am not aware of one, and en:Wikipedia:Twinkle/doc appears to confirm that no such feature exists. Chenzw Talk 04:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, and on your English Wikipedia userpage, it says you don't grant permission for your contributions to be relicensed. What does that mean? --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 03:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- You can find out more by clicking on the category, but I don't think that template matters very much nowadays. Chenzw Talk 03:31, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

ChenzwBot false positive
changeHello. Please see another good-faith edit revert diff here. Many thanks, Belwine • 💬 • 📜 14:39, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [1]
- You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [2]
- Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
- The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [3]
- Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [4]
- When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback. [5]- Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the
watchlisttowatchwill still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [6] - Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [7]
- CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [8]
There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 January. It will be on all wikis from 14 January (calendar).

Lww suspects
changeThis Lww accounts are creating a sock account even they hadn't start editing but I saw some users with same name Lww and 4 numbers are being created at same time. Let me say, User:Lww1834 created at 03:24 UTC User:Lww1829 created at 03:28 UTC User:Lww1824 created at 03:32 UTC User:Lww1816 created at 03:41 UTC These accounts were created may be for vandalism not for now but may be later....KP (talk) 03:52, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 January. It will be on all wikis from 21 January (calendar).
Future changes
- The Growth team plans to add features to get more visitors to edit to more Wikipedias. You can help translating the interface.
- You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for a short time on 26 January at 07:00 (UTC). [9]
- MassMessage posts could be automatically timestamped in the future. This is because MassMessage senders can now send pages using MassMessage. Pages are more difficult to sign. If there are times when a MassMessage post should not be timestamped you can let the developers know.

Abuse Filter/Email Setting
change- I'm very sorry to bother you. Is there an abuse filter (or a setting) that stops non auto-confirmed users from sending me emails (I can give you more details via email if necessary)? I've asked DannyS712 before, and he said there was a setting (but I don't remember what he specifically said about the setting)/I'm not sure where to find it. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 03:38, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Have you taken a look at your own preferences page yet? The option is "Allow emails from brand-new users", as well another one relating to password reset emails, which is also useful. Chenzw Talk 04:32, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hey thanks Chenzw! After I enabled these options, I seem to no longer get emails about messages left on my talkpage, is this normal? --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 02:22, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- No it's not normal, and definitely not expected because that option I mentioned is completely unrelated. You should check that you have not deactivated other things by mistake. Chenzw Talk 14:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- The talk page message notification by email is enabled, what other options do I need to check? --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 23:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- That's it, as far I as remember, though you might want to read every other email-related option to be sure. If you are very sure that there might be a bug, please file a bug report. Chenzw Talk 03:43, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Blocking not working?
changeHi I am not sure completely on how this bot works, but I noticed it will change someone to a block, as it did with this user's IP address 2600:8800:288D:A200:593F:B7E:EB0F:1187. However, when I pull up the block log for this IP it says "No matching blocks found for the requested IP address or username." This is the diff.? Thanks - PotsdamLamb (talk) 19:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Not sure what you meant by changing someone to a block - the bot has no sysop rights and does not block users. Only when additional vandalism is detected (and reverted) after the user has received a level 4 warning, will the bot report the user to WP:VIP for blocking. Chenzw Talk 00:22, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Cookie Issue?
