Meta:Requests for deletion

WM:RFD

This page hosts local (i.e., Meta-Wiki) requests for page deletion. For requests for speedy deletion from global sysops or stewards, see Steward requests/Miscellaneous. Any language may be used on this page. Before commenting on this page, please read the deletion policy, in particular the criteria for speedy deletion, and the inclusion policy. Please place the template {{RFD}} on the page you are proposing for deletion, and then add an entry in an appropriate section below. You may use {{subst:RFD2|page name|reasons here. --~~~~}} under the appropriate section to start the deletion discussion. As a courtesy, you may wish to inform the principal authors of the page about the request using {{subst:RfD notice|page name --~~~~.}}. After at least one week, an administrator will close and carry out the consensus or majority decision.

Articles that qualify for speedy deletion should be tagged with {{delete}} or {{delete|reason}}, and should not be listed here. (See also speedy deletion candidates.) Files with no sources should be tagged with {{no source}} and need not be listed here, either. To request undeletion, see #Requests for undeletion. See Meta:Inclusion policy for a general list of what does not belong on the Meta-Wiki.

Previous requests are archived. Deletion requests ({{Deletion requests}}) can be added to talk page to remember previous RfDs.

Created in error at MediaWiki:Globalblocking-block-reason-dropdown. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 03:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ once MediaWiki:Globalblocking-block-reason-dropdown is fixed. There are several more instances of this typo, which I'll fix as well. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 03:37, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are "only" 2043 block summaries that need fixing. As @Johannnes89 was the one who introduced the typo, I propose that he carry out the task of fixing them. I'll deliver him a trout too. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 04:16, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for noticing. Not sure if it's worth the effort changing all those block summaries, how about just leaving this page as a redirect for ~1 year and delete it once most of the blocks are expired? Johannnes89 (talk) 10:15, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. It's not really worth fixing that. It'd be a rather pointless work to do. Leave a redirect for some time and have it deleted later. -Barras talk 10:25, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That does sound like a better choice. Delayed delete per above. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 10:52, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fine with me. Just curious, when will the last gblock expire? --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 10:53, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Minorax: According to this new query, there are 9 indefinite blocks. Another 400+ will expire in 2030, and there are plenty of 2028s. Only to be expected, since these are for open proxies. I guess they still need to be fixed after all. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 11:07, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm I had hoped for most blocks to expire after 1-2 years. Fixed the indefinite blocks and some more, but unless we want to keep the page as a redirect for five years I guess I need to fix at least the 400+ expiring 2030. Johannnes89 (talk) 12:28, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Johannnes89: The numbers for each year are: 87 (2025; 33 expired, 17 expiring this month), 329 (2026), 250 (2027), 957 (2028) and 411 (2030) We might as well fix all of them. Can other stewards help? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 05:40, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Johannnes89: Any update on this? Maybe you could automate this fix with a script. – DreamRimmer ■ 12:01, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will try and take a look tomorrow. -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 00:09, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry didn't have much time recently. Writing scripts is not really my strong suit, so I'm happy if someone else could help. Johannnes89 (talk) 10:35, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any updates? --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 13:29, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This has been pending for a long time, and there has been no recent response from the stewards. I am happy to assist in resolving it. If any steward is interested, please let me know, and I can provide the script and explain how to use it if needed. @Johannnes89 – DreamRimmer ■ 13:33, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@DreamRimmer I would appreciate your support Johannnes89 (talk) 13:46, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This task is now complete. A total of 1,896 global blocks and 1,903 local blocks have been modified. I thank EPIC for running the script for the global block modifications. This discussion can now be closed. – DreamRimmer ■ 04:48, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer: You can do it yourself, can't you? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 05:20, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I could have handled this myself, but I preferred to leave it for a second set of eyes. – DreamRimmer ■ 05:26, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
