Per my amended description above. This needs to be addressed now. I am fed up of having vandalic edits (some of them plain libel, death threats, etc.) misattributed to me because of this.

Unfortunately that's not a good reason for using UBN!, I'm setting this to High instead. I agree that it still needs to be fixed as soon as it can be.

Trijnstel raised the priority of T184344: Emails to the mailing list Global-renamers are sent, but not received by Hotmail users from Medium to High.

Hi @Trijnstel, it appears that messages from this list to your hotmail account have been bouncing.

Jan 06 01:27:01 2018 (666) global-renamers: trijnstel@redacted.tld current bounce score: 4.0

However, mail volume from this list has not been enough to push your bounce score over the threshold (which would automatically disable membership, send a notification to yourself and send bounce details to the list admins).

As a list admin I'd suggest temporarily using an alternate email address for list administration (since the hotmail account is having a problem) then adjust the bounce threshold to more quickly disable and send details about bouncing email addresses to the list admins. If you choose to go this route please keep in mind that the bounce score is incremented by a maximum of 1 point per day that bounce messages are processed.

Just now I sent 3 testing messages with different subjects and 3 replies (one reply to each subject). The problem is happening for me as well. The reply to subject "testing3" was not delivered by email or archived.

The missing message did reach the lists MTA and the log indicates it was delivered to the mailman command, but there is no trace of the message in the mailman post log. So it seems the issue may lie somewhere in the handoff between MTA and mailman.

That's my proposal.

Trijnstel added a comment to T69541: Special:MultiLock returns multiple success messages about statuses of users changed..

Personally, I don't see this as a bug. I definitely don't see it as problematic and I actually find it useful to check that the process worked.

Trijnstel added a comment to T31216: Use suppressed-by-default entries in the deletion log instead of suppression log when suprress-deleting pages.

"and also to get rid of one or two annoying special cases in the code for that particular log" - what do you mean? The fact we have a suppression log is good, imho. I mean, where else should you put suppression actions without having others access to it? Is this only about a suppression where one deletes+suppress a page at the same time?

I don't see the need for this proposed change. It can only confuse people and there is no reason why non-oversighters should see that an oversighter did something. I propose to decline this request.

With T95857 being fixed recently, I think that this bug (limiting from a /19 block to a /48) should not be done.

we can think about granting the 'unblock' rights on those wikis to the bureaucrats?

We don't have a separate 'unblock' right... I don't understand why you would want to do that anyway?

Trijnstel added a comment to T20660: Allow abuse filter to globally lock accounts and globally block IPs as an action.

To be honest, I don't think we need global blocking by global abusefilters at all. Local blocks for global abusefilters is also not allowed per current consensus among the community.

From what I've seen, we are currently doing fine with manual blocks whenever needed by stewards so there is no need for this (at least for now).

For the record I'll look into this, likely next week. Our dept is short staff atm (Kalli and I at a child protection conference, Philippe out of the office etc) and so waiting until we come back is likely best.

@Trijnstel, the script has been run on slwiktionary. Please check for logs on https://sl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:RevisionDelete?type=revision&ids=89131
If that works we can run it on nlwiki to check the given example, and if that's fine as well then I'll run it on all wikis other than enwiki (since the main migration script hasn't been run there yet, it'll get done at the same time).
