Since this template needs to be subst'ed, {{#ifexist: should be changed to {{{{{|subst:}}}#ifexist:. Thanks in advance. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (discusscontribs) 03:35, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh, are you sure this is necessary? The template seems to work fine if substituted on Wikibooks:Edit filter/False positives. If you want propose a change, create Template:Falsepositive/sandbox for testing, and then ask me to copy it over. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 13:35, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mrjulesd: It does work, but as seen in Special:Diff/4029144/4030497, my edit left an {{#ifexist: on the report page. {{#ifexist: is a conditional parser funtion and should be subst'ed along with the template. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (discusscontribs) 14:32, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: Done thanks for explaining that. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 14:45, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trolling by Tgregtregretgtr

Does anyone have any comments if I block Tgregtregretgtr (discuss · email · contribs · logs · count)? Their trolling continues, despite having been warned by Atcovi.

I could go on, but I think you have the idea by now. Most of this is "low grade" trolling, but there is so much of it it becomes "high grade" imo. All of this suggests a possible LTA, especially when you consider their IP cross-wiki disruptive editing. Jules (Mrjulesd) 09:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion: The fake editing stats are a meme, y'know the OVER 9000!!!! one. Trolling of Koavf: I thought that was ban evasion. I am also taking a break from editing anything but mainspace. Also the inaproprate clousers were because MediaWiki does not allow you to delete contribs pages, so I closed what I thought was a impossible deletion.T.

Support block - Unfortunately this is becoming tiresome for me to deal with. I cannot speak for the community, but it is frustrating to focus my energy on this user's edits and unnecessary questions rather than on Wikibooks content. I was tempted to block the user much earlier as I believed this was simply another troll, but I wanted to see if T. was going to improve in regards to the way he communicates with other users and contributes towards our wiki. To answer that, I haven't seen any improvement and despite being given advice, it seems that T. disregards them. As a community, we shouldn't be tolerating such behavior and I believe this has gone on for too long. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Synoman Barris: You misspelled here. Just making sure you know. T. Gregtregretgtr (discusscontribs) 17:59, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I’m not mad on the user for the RFAs. Also there are positive contributions mainly in the book Minecraft resource gathering. If only the user could focus most of his/her energy on such contributions. Also, I don’t think that having a meme user page that is also a mess is a reason to ban the user. Some legitimate concerns were raised so @Tgregtregretgtr:, please focus more of your energy on improving the wiki. -Gifnk dlm 2020 From Middle English Wikipedia 📜📖💻 (talk) 20:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Gifnk dlm 2020 I'm not suggesting a block solely for their user page, but for the sum total of their various attempts at trolling. Also their IP has been causing disruption across Wikimedia wikis, which should be taken into account into pointing to bad faith and ugly editing. I understand that they've done some good work, but their trolling of users (yourself include, but also Koavf and Panic2k4), and indeed the whole community, is gravely concerning, as it could poison and demotivate the entire community if not stopped.. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 21:06, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to stop. Sorry. I also want to empthiaze "If not stopped." I will try my hardest to stop so I do not get blocked... BTW, there is a thing called a Shared IP. Just wanted to let you know. If this is incivil leave a message at my talk page. T. Gregtregretgtr (discusscontribs) 23:45, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I've advised T. in the past to keep their contributions towards content-creating in the past. But alas it doesn't seem like that advice was listened to. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tgregtregretgtr, above you have said "I am also taking a break from editing anything but mainspace". My question to you is, would you be prepared to restrict your editing to high quality edits in mainspace, unless it is absolutely necessary to edit otherwise? And understand that any deviation from this could result in a block? You could also include mainspace talk, and your userspace and talk, as also being fine to edit. Jules (Mrjulesd) 10:00, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mrjulesd I will add those spaces, as well as other active user's talk pages and some welcoming. Also, please full-protect Wikijunior. T. Gregtregretgtr (discusscontribs) 17:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tgregtregretgtr No don't do any welcoming! And no messaging unless it is absolutely necessary. And this is my final offer. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 18:02, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mrjulesd Ok. I'll take this offer.T. Gregtregretgtr (discusscontribs) 18:05, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
