Since temporary accounts have been rolled out since September, I believe IP user and user talk pages will no longer be very meaningful to use in the future (except for historical archival purposes).
I queried and found following 5 edits. All of them got reverted.
- 29556503 made by ~2025-30888-19 to User talk:47.155.194.159
- 29556498 made by ~2025-30888-19 to User talk:47.155.194.159
- 29556495 made by ~2025-30888-19 to User talk:47.155.194.159
- 29493750 made by ~2025-29781-87 to User talk:68.3.67.81
- 29295259 made by ~2025-65262-5 to User talk:112.157.104.102
I'm proposing a filter to prevent temporary accounts from editing IP user and user talk pages.
// Based on [[:w:vi:Special:AbuseFilter/126]]
user_type == "temp"
& (page_namespace == 2 | page_namespace == 3)
&
(
page_title rlike '^(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}$' /* IPv4 */
| page_title rlike '^([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){1,7}[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}$' /* IPv6 */
)
We can also limit it to autoconfirmed only if needed. – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 11:26, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- User talk:IPADDRESS pages may still be used for things like discussing IP blocks, so I'm not sure about this one. — xaosflux Talk 11:43, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- I would at least support temporary accounts not being allowed to edit IP userpages at the very least. //shb (t • c) 12:52, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- There's no need for them to edit user pages as IPs shouldn't even have userpages so that part of it is definitely fine. With these IP user talk pages, considering how quickly the vandalism was spotted, I'd rather these IP talk pages that no-one looks at be vandalism than say, RfH. I take quite a conservative approach to page protection based on my homewiki though, so that is just my take. --Ferien (talk) 13:20, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- A tangential problem: Should temporary accounts have user (sub)pages? There are currently 8 such pages. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 13:49, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- I mean, I guess - they can draft things in user space just like anyone else. But nonsense can be deleted just like always. — xaosflux Talk 14:13, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello Wikimedia administrators,
I would like to request a review and possible removal (or partial whitelisting) of the domain medicinalmadhoney from the global spam blacklist.
This website represents a verified social entrepreneurship initiative from Nepal that documents and promotes traditional Himalayan honey-hunting communities and wild mad honey (Apis laboriosa). The content is educational, cultural, and ecological, with no affiliate or promotional intent.
The domain may have been previously misused by external editors, but the current version serves as a factual reference about Himalayan honey, supported by published articles and documentaries.
- Proposed intended use:**
To cite the website as a source of background information on Himalayan honey and traditional honey-hunting on relevant Wikipedia pages such as Mad honey, Beekeeping in Nepal, and Apis laboriosa.
I will ensure that any links are used responsibly and only in encyclopedic contexts. Thank you for your consideration.

- New or unregistered user blanking someone else's user or user talk page (global) (filter 362)
- kowiki: "restrict non-extendedconfirmed users from editing other users' userpage" (local filter 54)
By local consensus, kowiki has higher standard on editing others' userpage, so the global filter is mostly redundant. Those who need it for xwiki work can edit, if they have any of the following global user rights:"abusefilter-helper", "abusefilter-maintainer", "global-sysop", "global-rollbacker", "ombuds", "staff", "steward", "sysadmin". I am not sure if local disallow text or global (generic) disallow will be displayed, so it is probably better to make sure only specific local disallow text is displayed.
Thank you. — regards, Revi 05:17, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
