Hey RockfordRoe, your request for adminship isn't going to go anywhere, and I would recommend withdrawing it — I did note this part of your request though:

I'm currently seeking those rights because there's a persistent vandal on RationalWiki that I believe may be related to Supreme Genghis Khan, so I would like to see any abuse filters that can be useful for my wiki

We may be able to help with that. Which edits do you think are SGK? -- TNT ( talk • she/her) 20:48, 3 March 2022 (UTC) reply

The vandal appears almost daily, but under IP addresses instead of usernames, and I believe that they rebranded themselves as "The Walrus". Here's an IP with edits from today and a that matches some descriptions of their LTA from 2021 albeit using a deleted photo of Kyle Rittenhouse instead of Osama bin Laden or Genghis Khan.

Eh, I think you might just be dealing with a run-of-the-mill vandal there—I'm not sure our specific SGK filters would help based off of those edits.. (also y'all need to update your MediaWiki install!) -- TNT ( talk • she/her) 21:41, 3 March 2022 (UTC) reply
The MediaWiki update project is pretty disorganized at this point and none of the people that have access to the server hardware are active. There is a test instance of MediaWiki 1.35, but there's still some 1.27-specific extentions we still have to work on. RockfordRoe ( talk) 05:38, 4 March 2022 (UTC) reply
