Karber:A. B./UserSummary

[[Karber:|]] ([[Karber mesac:|mesac]] • İştıraki • iştırakê besterneyay • ena pela dı çı grey karberi este • count • COIBot • noticeboards • user page logs • x-wiki • status • LinkWatcher search • Google)

---

• Example:
  • {{subst:User:A. B./UserSummary|A. B.}}
    
    
    • A. B. (mesac • İştıraki • iştırakê besterneyay • ena pela dı çı grey karberi este • count • COIBot • noticeboards • user page logs • x-wiki • status • B. LinkWatcher search • Google)

• I adapted this from my own template, User:A. B./IPwhois, which I developed mostly for working with WikiProject Spam. As with User:A. B./IPwhois, since so much inappropriate linking is done in good faith and therefore not necessarily spamming, I did not want use a template incorporating a perjorative name such as vandal or spam.

• Link labels explained:
  • "talk" -- User talk page
  • "contribs" -- User contributions
  • "deleted contribs" -- accessible to admins only
  • "what links to user page" -- Wikipedia pages linking to user's userpage
  • "count" -- edit count (Interiot's tool)
  • "COIBot" -- links to the COIBot user-report (if generated)
  • "noticeboards" -- search selected noticeboards such as WP:ANI; still requires you add user name on search page

• Any smart template-writers know a way to fix this?

• • "noticeboards" -- searches selected noticeboard entries such as WP:ANI
    • Uses http://toolserver.org/~eagle/enwikiboardsearch.php?
      • For now, all this does is link to the tool -- you'll have to enter the user name manually. Anyone know a fix?
  • "user page logs" -- logs of actions taken on user's account or user page
  • "x-wiki" - search contributions on all 700+ Wikimedia Foundation projects
    • Uses http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php]
    • Note: this tools works intermittently and may sometimes miss contributions on entire projects. For the sake of brevity, it lists no more than 20 contributions per project.
  • "status" -- Is the user an admin, bureaucrat, etc.
  • "Linkwatcher search"-- searches for all external links added to en.wikipedia from early June 2007 onwards
    • Uses http://toolserver.org/~shadow1/cgi-bin/linksearcher.pl
      • My version here doesn't properly handle queries with a space in them

• The Linkwatcher tool is temporarily off-line as of 10 October 2007
• Note: This tool sometimes misses link additions
• This tool also picks up link additions that are reversions of page blanking by vandalism patrollers and anti-vandalism bots, so not every link addition you turn up with this is spamming!

• • "Google"" searches user name

• My template here doesn't properly handle queries with a space in them

• Spammers frequently use the same user name both on Wikipedia and on other sites. Especially if they've posted in SEO-related forums, looking at their contributions elsewhere may uncover additional domains that need to be checked for spamming here.

Would it be useful to add a "block this user" feature for the benefit of admins?
