Unusual ownerless page

Hi, I sometimes monitor Wikipedia:Database reports/Ownerless pages in the user space noticed that User talk:Emergency-user-slap was there. I was curious and saw in the logs that it has been deleted four previous times, most recently by you. I wonder if it'd make sense to salt it and/or track down what's linking to that page? I fruitlessly did some searching. (I'm leaving it un-CSD tagged for discussion purposes but I assume I or someone else will CSD it soon.) Thanks. Skynxnex (talk) 01:35, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk page stalker here. If I had to guess it's being linked from the template of the same name, specifically the template page itself. Maybe there's a way to fix it so that doesn't happen? SkyWarrior 01:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

@SkyWarrior ah yes, thanks. I had just looked at the source and hadn't quite connected the way it generated the destination URL will go to that user talk page from the template page itself. Skynxnex (talk) 14:23, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Someone clever with such things could make it not work on its own page. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:04, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Since I've never tried to do this level of template editing on Wikipedia, I decided to try in Template:Emergency-user-slap/sandbox to make it so it only renders those preloaded links if placed on a User or User talk page. I'll move it over to the main template at some point if there are no objections, in case either of you wanted to look. (And with this, I'll depart this talk page about this. Thanks SkyWarrior and Jpgordon.) Skynxnex (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

@Skynxnex and Jpgordon: I have a much simpler idea: maybe we could actually create User:Emergency-user-slap and use the user talk page as a sandbox for the template? I'm aware that a sandbox already exists, but we could also redirect that sandbox to the user talk (or vice versa). Of course, if someone with knowledge could "make it not work on its own page", then that's great too. I meant to comment this a couple days ago, but couldn't due to an erroneous global block placed on my IP (since resolved). SkyWarrior 01:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Possible new sockpuppet

Back in March 2023, you blocked User:Pinespunned as being a sockpuppet of User:Bertrand101, and I believe there could be another sockpuppet, User:Bigbossgab, that has been editing some of the same articles that Pinespunned edited and started two weeks after Pinespuuned was blocked. Here is the Editor Interaction Analyser between the two editors, [2]. I never really know how to deal with sockpuppets and any help you could give me would help out. Aspects (talk) 18:49, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Yup. Blocked. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 23:52, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

You should see the UTRS ticket. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

User talk:Swift0ne1

Hi JP, could you please run a check on the above account? See the claim of socking at the bottom of their Talk page. They've already evaded their block once with an IP who made the same edit to Talk:Adam and Eve as the master, but because of the dearth of substantive edits to any other article or article Talk page, I doubt I'll find any socks on my own.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:45, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

No useful evidence via Checkuser other than what you've found already. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 17:12, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
• As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

• Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Miscellaneous

• Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.

Re: cookbook...

One important moment: some people unironically cook dulce de leche by boiling a whole tin can, that may explode. Yet in 1940's, the Soviets used tin cans as bodies of frag grenades (see RG-42). A recipe-like bit of info is necessary to counter that meme. 2A00:1370:81A2:4AE2:707C:13AC:57F6:698B (talk) 09:12, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
