dude who is Inori Joao84704 (talk) 13:18, 18 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]
I'm truly confused by now oh my fucking god... Joao84704 (talk) 15:11, 18 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]
Bro theres no way this will be built. IT SAYS ON WIKIPEDIA THAT INORI IS A FUCKING SINGER. A FUCKING SINGER. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. WHERE IS ALL THE PUNISHMENTS. shit Joao84704 (talk) 08:21, 19 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]
The building's floorplans keeps changing too. A completed building would never have its floorplans change so frequently, so this is very suspicious looking, if it's even built at all. Elevator1512 (talk) 08:44, 19 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]

Edits to be Users-Only

Idk, it can be bad to see someone vandalizing the pages and not knowing who they are.

Also those people “Inori Minase” or “Kana Hanazawa” surged from absolute nowhere, very suspicious. Joao84704 (talk) 13:35, 18 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]

I'm not sure if eventhorizon has been active on the wiki recently, though we'll need an administrator to block specified users / IP addresses for whatever period of time is best suited. Elevator1512 (talk) 16:36, 18 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]
How did you become an administrator in the wiki? Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 07:58, 24 February 2024 (CST)Reply[reply]
Eventhorizon gave those rights to me to help manage this wiki Elevator1512 (talk) 09:01, 24 February 2024 (CST)Reply[reply]
I looked up all the IP addresses and they're coming from around Indonesia. I'm starting to get suspicious of them because of what they did to like Skyscrapersim Housing Estate (I have since reverted those edits, even if they keep trying to revert my edits back). If it was just the Inori Center‎‎ and IM Elevator Testing Tower‎‎ then I would not have any problems with adding buildings to the wiki. It's mainly creating bogus pages on buildings that likely don't exist or aren't accessible on the Skyscrapersim forum, which requires an account to view the Buildings and Integration Projects boards (the old wiki pre-2019 did require an account for making any edits because of similar spam issues).

probably best to create a forum thread about this Fennz (talk) 00:50, 19 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]
I'll look into that later, I've been working hard to revert any edits by the IP addresses from the Indonesia area. Elevator1512 (talk) 08:57, 19 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]

About (Originally from the Kira Yamaguchi's Tower's talk page)

I find it hard to imagine this building ever being built, as the Wikipedia link here goes to a page that doesn't exist. Especially because it's the same IP range as the "Inori Minase" whatever. Elevator1512 (talk) 22:13, 31 October 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]

Copyright (Originally from The Spire (Kira Yamaguchi)'s talk page)

You should know that The Spire was originally built by user EG881 and then later modded by Skyscraper Simulator Showcase as The Spire V2. You just took the spire and changed the floorplans and passed it off as your own without any credit given to the prior users. This is most likely copyright infringement, based on both users' policies of modifying their buildings. Elevator1512 (talk) 09:09, 1 November 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]

It isn't even real, they're probably taking up singers names and putting them into those unreal buildings. So its not and will NEVER be real. Thay are just trolling everything Joao84704 (talk) 12:59, 1 November 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]
Yeah the name it's supposed to be based on doesn't even exist on Wikipedia. So there's no way any of those planned buildings will ever be made. I'm working to revert any edits by those IP addresses. Elevator1512 (talk) 16:32, 1 November 2023 (CDT)Reply[reply]

New Edit Filter Live

Just noting that the new 7 days / 20 edits edit filter is now live on the wiki! Hopefully this will reduce the amount of spam that's been affecting this wiki for a while because it was mainly IP addresses and newly-created accounts causing problems, hopefully these restrictions I put in place will filter out the majority of the spam before it can get through. I know that the filter is now working properly as at least one edit has been tagged and disallowed (from the 185.121.138.0/24 range that was part of the spamwave.

Blacklist Pages

I have started working on two blacklist pages (MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist and MediaWiki:Titleblacklist) and adding based off what I have deleted. For non-sysops, you'll have to make requests to add or remove anything (at either MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist or MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist). These will be good additions although I'll have to refer to these help pages on MediaWiki for now as I'm still learning the ins and outs of this. Elevator1512 (talk) 22:56, 2 April 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

To E1512

Can you delete the revisions id 11816 and 11817? I forgot to put the question mark after the text. So sorry... Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:28, 5 May 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

Done. Although the revisions still happened in the page history, they are now crossed out and no longer accessible. Elevator1512 (talk) 09:54, 5 May 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

Apostrophe Symbols

I found out that ' takes 2 more bytes than ' in my Sandbox while testing around. Therefore the ' will be replaced by ' on the wiki articles. Elevator1512 (talk) 17:05, 12 May 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

Also, ' is defined as %27 whenever present in the URL (such as Haru's Integration Project) Elevator1512 (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

Throttling Spam Account Creations

In response to the recent uptick in spam account creations I have created a new warning message that will show up when creating an account. I did put it on trial earlier and will try again with the new warning message intact. If no new spam creations for a long while then I will consider disabling the filter again. If you would like any changes go to the talk page and request it there. Elevator1512 (talk) 23:04, 23 May 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

About tomorrow, Skyscraper Wiki's 1 year celebration

Hello everyone!

To mark the current Skyscraper Wiki 1 year celebration, I will probably add a big blue bold text saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYSCRAPER WIKI!" on top of the main page and on top of my userpage.

How all pages will look like on the top:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKYSCRAPER WIKI! Lighthouse Friesland (talk) 09:28, 3 July 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]

I can make that message appear on all pages through the site notice. Elevator1512 (talk) 09:30, 3 July 2024 (CDT)Reply[reply]
