Welcome to the Administrative Assistance reading room. You can request assistance from administrators for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.

You can deal with most vandalism yourself: fix it, then warn the user. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in #wikibooks (say !admin to get attention).

For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the Assistance Reading Room.

Help with consensus at Wikibooks talk:Artificial Intelligence

Hello! It's been over a year since the creation of Wikibooks:Artificial Intelligence as a proposed policy, and there's been a fair amount of discussion with several different viewpoints. I've been active in the creation and discussion over there, so I don't think it's right for me to assess consensus—could an admin who has been less involved take a look and evaluate where it currently stands in terms of consensus and actionability? Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 02:04, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Were any substantial edits made to the policy as a result of the discussion? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:58, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
If I understand correctly what you're asking, I think so? I changed the text generation section to a full ban because it seemed to me like consensus was moving that way. I also adjusted the detection and enforcement section to try and address some concerns about "witch-hunting" and ensure there is more guidance on how to handle suspect content. Other language tweaks have been made by a few people. If there are other adjustments that need to be made to bring the draft in line with consensus, we can absolutely make them. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:51, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
Anything in particular stopping us from making the proposed text final? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 05:28, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
There is an editor who has been very opposed to the creation of the policy in the first place, which is why I haven't finalized it. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:57, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
@Kittycataclysm One user's opposition does not reflect consensus. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 06:48, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

RfIA closure

Cactusisme (discuss · email · contribs · logs · count) closed my request for interface adminship as successful, since the right was given to me. Kittycataclysm reversed the closure, saying that it should've been done by an admin. However, the initial closure was correct. Since I am involved here, I will not intervene further, and would like to request that another administrator close the discussion. JJPMaster (she/they) 13:13, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Never mind, it was done while I was typing this post. JJPMaster (she/they) 13:14, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Given Cactus has cross-wiki CIR issues, I would not trust them to be involved in closing discussions. //SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 06:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

The page A-level Computing/WJEC (Eduqas)/Component 1/Software engineering has been recreated after being deleting twice (once for vandalism and once for nonsense), and I've just tagged it for deletion for having no meaningful content. Somebody should look through the deleted history and see if the IP address that created this page just now has created it before, and check for any other pages this IP and other similar IPs have created. The page just says "WHY IS THERE NOTHING HEREEE!", which I've seen on another page recently that was deleted after I tagged it for deletion for having no meaningful content, so I feel like there might be a pattern here. TTWIDEE (discuss • contribs) 17:32, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

That particular IP doesn't seem to have a history or pattern of disruption, and I'm not seeing any similar IPs either. Let me know if you see anything fishy. Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:41, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

@Kittycataclysm They've recreated the spam. Please block this user. Also, they also have some attempted spam edits that have been blocked by the abuse filter, and they've also spammed on other wikis (they've put spam on Wikiquote, and have attempted to put spam on Wikipedia but have been stopped by the edit filter), so I don't think they have any intention of making any positive contributions. TTWIDEE (discuss • contribs) 09:32, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
Looks like they've been globally blocked! Usually I don't block accounts for a single instance of spam, mostly because they never make any edits beyond that. But, I may start doing it prophylactically. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 12:19, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
