Apologies for the inconsistency - the three wikis are now settled as:
- sdiywiki at https://sdiy.info
- scruffwiki at https://scruff.miraheze.org
- simpleelectronicswiki at https://amps.wiki.gd

How to distinguish a one time bot account from a genuine user?
Jan 7 2024
With the merger of WikiTide and Miraheze, I'm going to move the wikis back to Miraheze.
Dec 14 2023
Thanks. I'll have to check how it's configured on my wiki.

@Samwilson those are search engine searches, not searches done on wiki.

Just confirming, you have moved away from Miraheze and WikiTide is now your wikis' homes? May I ask what prompted the move?
// Add target="_blank" to links with class "extiw" or "external text"
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.extiw").attr("target", "_blank");
});Oct 12 2023
The wikis are still hosted prinarily at Miraheze.

All the user rights should be correct now.
User rights for InternetArchiveBot on five wikis is now bot. However InternetArchiveBot and Cyberpower678 both need to visit sdiy.wikitide.com and scruffy.wikitide.com please, in order to have the user rights set.

Special:Statistics and Special:ListUsers
So far the wiki farm admin have been reluctant to delete these spurious users. It makes an unnecessary mess of the wiki stats.
Mar 27 2021
The wiki is hosted on a wiki farm which uses CentralAuth. To prevent the global accounts being affected only sysadmins of the wiki farm can rename, merge and delete. Local sysadmins can't access Extension:UserMerge.
That hides but doesn't remove these spurious users.
No, it is a request for some high-level option to allow keeping the user list clean of spambots.
Wiki's hosted on a wiki farm might not have the option to use extension:UserMerge. Blocking spam is not an issue.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that, fixed now.
There should be, it was set on the 11th September.
Should be fixed now? Many thanks for sorting this out.

Should be fixed now.

Somehow infobox data should be able to auto-populate navboxes and table templates in article pages.

I would except I can't because the wiki is on Miraheze wiki farm with CentralAuth and UserMerge extension is disallowed.
That is the problem.

That the user list/wiki has extraneous crud. Even with abuse filter blocking the actual user page posts.
Dec 11 2017
Entirely killing it (including the 1st) would be the better option. However T160446 is declined and closed.

This should be treated as a MW bug, see T182504
The underlying problem is lack of templates, some of which require MediaWiki:Common.css.

WMF already has plenty of infrastructure to support this.
Sep 11 2016
Please can't this be simplified in order to get some sort of repository available ASAP!?
Sep 8 2016
Now working again. Fixed by Subfader.
Sep 7 2016
Thanks, I hope this is better:

It looks like the WMF preferred method for achieving this is via Shadow namespaces. See T91162

Seems to be superseded by T66474

Yes, thanks for your help.
Thanks - CollapsibleVector is now working fine.
On this wiki, a user page gets created along with the new user account - done by extension confirm account. If I manually delete the user page first, then mege and delete works.
This is with User Merge and Delete 1.9.0 (f1d6d58) from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/176980
I've also tried the patch for usermerge (in version it shows as 1.9.0 (f1d6d58)) but the tick in preferences still has no effect.
It's not related to CollapsibleVector. The wiki also uses extension ConfirmAccount. When the user account is created so is a user page. Using user merge with delete selected 1.9.0 gives "Fatal error: Function name must be a string in ..../w/extensions/UserMerge/MergeUser.php". But if the user page is first deleted merge and delete then functions okay.
It's the same with 0.1.3. Ticked or unticked, the sidebar still has items collapsible.

It also prevents extension UserMerge from functioning. See T76310
When I've disabled extension CollapsibleVector this has been fixed.
Dec 1 2014
Thanks, $wgScriptPath has fixed it.
