Abuse reports

Hi, sorry for this late reply (I didn't see this message b.c of a huge post from SuggestBot...). I've been working with JamesR to automate the moving process by using the "Status" field in ARStatus. The new system will have the bot do all the moving when it detects the status. Regarding AR report, do you think it would be possible for it to be integrated into Template:ARStatus? That would further simplify the entire project. The project itself is moving extremely slowly, as I believe I'm the only one that's been processing anything for a while now. Would you like to help? :-) Netalarmtalk 00:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Something is seriously wrong with my monobook.js... I'll look over it in a while. My AIM is [removed], I'll go on right now. Thanks! Netalarmtalk 00:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Stale reports

I've archived all of the stale reports, but they seem to be showing up in Category:Abuse_Reports_-_Stale. I tried using HotCat to remove them from the category, but it notifies be that the category was being added by a template. Could you take a look at this? Netalarmtalk 04:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Ah I changed ARStatus template so that if the status of the report is set to Stale it would put it in the stale category... If we're going to close them change the status to closed.   bsmithme  04:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

What do you think we should do with reports that are on hold? Keeping them on the main page makes the main page look messy, but archiving them would make the report useless. You think we should create a "holding pen" for these reports? Netalarmtalk 04:33, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Well the only thing is, if a user is coming to report the IP I'm thinking we may want to have it listed so that they can see if they might be filing a duplicate report. I have a thought, we could wrap all but the New Alerts section so that it is collapsable and hidden by default... I don't remember the code to do that at the moment, I'll have to check.   bsmithme  04:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Abuse reports is way too confusing right now. What's with all the categories, templates, moves, and backlog... I'm cleaning up some orphaned reports right now. If the user was reporting a duplicate IP, the form would take them to the current report, right? Netalarmtalk 04:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

That's true unless they type it differently then how it was originally titled. I have no objection if you want to take them off the front page, it was just a thought.   bsmithme  04:48, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Help with Abuse Reports

Hey, I noticed that there seems to be a dearth of help on the Wikipedia:Abuse reports page which I think is an important tool to use. I wanted to offer my help if you wanted it. I'm happy to help contact or just investigate/clerk if you want people with more experience to contact for now. Jamesofur (talk) 05:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for the response and I'll look for your note :) Jamesofur (talk) 18:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

The dashboard looks great, I'm busy with moving stuff today but will likely be able to do a lot more in the next couple days starting tomorrow. I was thinking of trying to start on investigating some of the backlog of cases that we have unless you think there are jobs that need to get done first? Let me know if there are templates or anything that needs to be updated/created before we begin. I was also thinking of writing up some ideas for extended requirements with ip ranges as you talked about earlier.Jamesofur (talk) 23:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
