Please treat {{user-uaa|... the same as {{userlinks|... - I intend to attempt to transition WP:UAA to use a specific template with extra links (e.g. Example (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · hardblock · softblock · spamblock)) - a previous attempt ended in disaster due to the bot treating these as comments. —Random832 21:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC) Done (quite a while ago, in fact)
Do not remove reports with more than one vandal listed until all vandals are blocked. Users that are blocked already can be struck out with the <s></s> tags.
When a user places a pattern that does no match an IP in a {{IPvandal}} then it will check the user creation log for that name. If the user exists it will change the template to {{userlinks}}, if the user does not exist it will remove the report and say "Removing $name, this is not an IP or a user."
Helperbot should attempt to fix template calls, for example {{vandal|User:Foobar}} should be changed to {{vandal|Foobar}}, and incorrect IP listings such as {{IPvandal|IP 127.0.0.1}} should be fixed too if there is no registered user under that name. MaxSem 21:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit]Worthy features that exceed my current scope of approval
Hi, is it possible to instruct the bot not to remove reports from WP:UAA unless that user has been indef blocked? For example, User:Mikejfoxisdead was listed at UAA, but he received a 24 hour vandalism block that removed him from UAA before an admin could act on the report, and prevents relisting until the block has expired. Not a big deal, just something I thought you might want to consider. Thanks. --Bongwarrior 06:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Suggest having it leave a comment if a non-indef block is placed. —Random832 (contribs) 14:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps a customs marker like <!-- nobot --> which prevents the removal of the report would be easier to program, and also serve a wider variety of situations. (1 == 2)Until 14:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
But that wouldn't necessarily meet the original request, because the reporter might not know, at the time of reporting, that the user had already been non-indef-blocked. They'd then have to see their report deleted, then realize "hey, I can add this tag to my request to have the bot not remove it". Plus, that would presumably tell the bot not to remove it at all, in which case a human would have to realize "oh, this is tagged nobot, I need to manually remove it once I block it". —Krellis (Talk) 17:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
