We have a large number of bot users around from looking into the user list, is there a way to remove them from the user list? I can only ban those directly, who are active, which means we have a large number of sleeping bot accounts in our wiki. --[[User:Urwumpe|Urwumpe]] 12:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

: I could purge all users having 0 edits easily. With a bit of thought and SQL magic I might be able to purge all users who have all their edits marked as vandalism - not sure how hard this would be though. --[[User:RaMan|RaMan]] 12:40, 12 April 2008 (BST)

Just a page for general OrbiterWiki discussions (for keeping the Talk:Main Page related to the main page).

Archived discussions can be found at Village pump/Archive 2005-2007.

Suggestions

I've got a couple of suggestions regarding this wiki:

  1. (done) Archive all the stuff we have on Village pump
  2. (done) Change the random addon voting: instead of casting votes, just list each one exactly once. Otherwise newly added addons are shown less often, and that's not very fair.
  3. Write the words OrbiterWiki across the logo (I can upload some of my attempts)
  4. Change the wiki back to case-insensitive. The development to make it _fully_ case insensitive never materialised obviously, so rather than sticking with the (as I see it) inconvenient _fully_ case sensitive we would be better off using the standard case sensitivity mode (same as Wikipedia)

I'll do all of these things if no-one complains :) --RaMan 17:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Can you also check if the display of categories is still active? I just tested it and noticed that no article shows the category - though it should. --Urwumpe 08:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Fixed. --RaMan 23:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Database error when banning registered user

Database error when banning users:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

    (SQL query hidden)

from within function "Parser::replaceLinkHolders". MySQL returned error "1271: Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN ' (localhost)".

Will check this out asap. --RaMan 21:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Hmm it works for me. Might have been a temporary glitch. Post back if it happens again. --RaMan 22:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I have the same error report now, when trying to access the article Ganymede. --Urwumpe 10:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Confirmed, will be fixed soon. --RaMan 12:38, 12 April 2008 (BST)

Bot users

We have a large number of bot users around from looking into the user list, is there a way to remove them from the user list? I can only ban those directly, who are active, which means we have a large number of sleeping bot accounts in our wiki. --Urwumpe 12:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I could purge all users having 0 edits easily. With a bit of thought and SQL magic I might be able to purge all users who have all their edits marked as vandalism - not sure how hard this would be though. --RaMan 12:40, 12 April 2008 (BST)
