I joined the Back Room on this account, but not on any of my others?

Self... you are a silly silly man.

Aaaaanyway. Hi beautiful people! This is Tom, mun of Amascut([personal profile] death_gone_mad) and one of the admins over at milliwiki.com. Some (meaning plenty) of you already know about my war with the spammers on our precious wiki. Some might even know that I had temporarily given up on it in favor of working on a better solution to the problem.

If you didn't know, you know now!

I have been working on it because of some unexpected free time this afternoon, and I have gotten it to a stage where I need to ask for your help.

So, this thing I am working on, it is pretty stupid (well, stupid compared to the miraculous ClueBot) and works off a whitelist. If it sees an edit to the wiki not made by an author on the whitelist, it will go OMG KILL DIE DELETE REVERT REDIRECT DIE DIE DIE. At least that is the stage it is at anyway. It is harmless and doesn't do any editing yet.

What I need from you is usernames to add to that list. If you have ever edited an article on the wiki, even if you forgot your password, leave your username on the wiki in a comment below. I know some legit pages were created and edited while anonymous editing was still allowed, so I will have to look for those pages. If you know which pages those are, please let me know.

Thanks!

Wanderlustlover, I'm pretty sure.

I think I did, once upon a time. User name would have been minkhollow as with everywhere else.

Aw, what the-? *goes to fix Dani's wiki page*

I don't know who User:Dontthinkso is, but s/he definitely seems to be a vandal with something against Dani Phantom/Enzo Matrix shipping. Can something be done about him/her/it?

I could ban them, but then again it is an account that only made one edit. They might have forgotten the password by now anyway. If they come back and revert your edit I'll ban for edit warring, but I think that banning them now would be silly. (and it might invite abuse if Dontthinkso is a certain kind of person)

Okay. I'll cross my fingers and hope that they don't come back and revert my edit.

Grumph. Is this deliberate vandalism, do you suppose, or is someone just really not paying attention to the nature of this particular wiki when they decide to make corrections?

Probably a bit of both.

[personal profile] nocarename 2012-03-06 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
If I did anything signed in it would have been under nocarename.

[personal profile] ladyiapetus 2012-03-06 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Anything I did would be under ladyiapetus (big surprise, amiright?)

[personal profile] gehayi 2012-03-06 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know that I ever contributed to the wiki--I don't remember--but if I did, it would have been under the name Gehayi or Rhysdux.

ShinyHappyGoth, of course.

As above. IF I did, my username would be my usual :)

Go Tom, you rock!

I don't think I ever did anything there though I swear I had every intention...that counts for something right? Anyway, if I did it'd likely be under the username spooky_lemur though if there is no user with that name I'll just make one under my DW name.
visible_sariel: (something to say)

Logged in with pup journal, oh well, it's me anyway. :) I edited one or two things, though they were minor. I don't remember my username off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it was Chanter. Chanter1944 if not.

[personal profile] kd7sov 2012-03-06 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't recall whether I made any kind of account there, but if I did it would be Kd7sov. I think the only pages I would have worked on were my pups (Felix, Kain, possibly Frederic) and the indexes into which they'd go.

Mine is TL. I made a lot of things/edits, potentially some before the usernames were formed! Mostly the characters in my user list and also Genarti's information and I also think Jo's (not all of that is accurate, but they asked me to create FANTASTICAL ORIGIN STORIES for them, so I did)
