The accidential IP block is a side effect of automatically blocking spammers (which only happens sometimes because 4 of 5 auth proxies are on a whitelist). It's a known issue, but happens rarely enough so that a manual unblock once a month is easier and faster than getting a config update deployed ;-) I removed the IP block some minutes ago - you should be able to edit the wiki again ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Admin?

[opensuse-wiki] Strange block
by Patryk Zera 26 Jun '17

Hello, I wanted to add Interwiki to Portal:Project/Sub-projects and ended with following message about block. "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another user, who was blocked by Abuse filter. The reason given is: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Jasminn". The reason given for Jasminn's block is "Automatically blocked by abuse filter. Description of matched rule: phone support spam" Start of block: 08:20, 26 June 2017 Expiry of block: 08:20, 27 June 2017 Intended blockee: 137.65.226.4 You may contact Abuse filter or one of the other administrators to discuss the block. Note that you may not use the "email this user" feature unless you have a valid email address registered in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 137.65.226.4, and the block ID is #668. Please include all above details in any queries you make." The problem is that my current IP isn't 137.65.226.4. Should I lit some light for Bruce Wayne about this "crime"? ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-wiki] Wiki update - call for testing
by Christian Boltz 03 Jun '17

Hello, [cross-post - please reply only on one of the mailinglists] Those who visited the Heroes talk at the openSUSE Conference already know - there is visible progress on the wiki update and I have a *test* wiki running :-) So, what's new? The highlights are: - updated MediaWiki to 1.27.x (LTS release) and all extensions - now running on a VM in Nuremberg - including files directly from github - better search (elasticsearch) - now searching all namespaces, but with different weight - login is now done using openID - but still with your openSUSE login - namespace-specific boilerplates (page templates) when creating new pages - switched extension for RSS feed integration - this will need adjustments on the pages that include RSS feeds - watching a category (when pages get added to or removed from it) is now part of MediaWiki core - Hermes notification was dropped (was broken anyway, and MediaWiki's own notifications work much better) There's also something that isn't too new - the database dump I used to setup the test wiki ;-) It's from last August, so please don't worry about the outdated content ;-) That all said - the test wiki is available for testing at https://en-test.opensuse.org/ Please check if everything still works, play with it, test the new features, ...! It is a test instance, so nobody will complain if you do test edits that don't make sense content-wise ;-) At the same time, remember that it is a test instance, so any changes you do will be lost when I re-import the database dump for whatever reason. If you notice any issues, please report them - either in one of the mailinglists (opensuse-wiki preferred) or send a mail to admin(a)opensuse.org If you enjoyed testing the new wiki, please also take some time to go to our current wiki (en.opensuse.org or $LANG.opensuse.org) - there are lots of pages that need an update ;-) And finally - thanks to everybody who helped me to get everything in shape! I still have to do some work "under the hood". That shouldn't cause any problem with testing, but it means that I won't do the production wiki move and update in a few days ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz PS: oSC visitors may wonder why it's en-test.o.o instead of en.test.o.o now. That name change is caused by a funny problem with our SSL certificate - *.opensuse.org doesn't match something with an additional dot, and en.test.o.o had such a dot ;-) -- Was habt Ihr denn? emacs ist doch ein tolles Betriebssystem!
