I was wondering if it'd be worth your time (what with you being the only sysop around the place) going through and deleting any pages created during the recent spammage, hence reverting them back to red-links (which better represent their status then a blue link leading to an empty page does).

Wiped old discussion for brevity. Cleanup of the vandalism of the Russian pages has been resolved for the moment. Will keep a watchful eye out for further abuse of the the wiki. Thank you. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 07:17, 26 October 2010 (BST)
:I removed link to an empty page --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 05:08, 3 September 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
 
 
For what it's worth, most of the "surplus" pages can already be found [[Special:Shortpages|here]] - though it may be worth getting some of the Russian contributors to start using a "delete this page" category or something?
 
 
 
Don't forget the associated discussion pages; I see some of the blank articles haven't had theirs cleaned as yet. - [[User:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] 05:13, 27 August 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
:This example page name has an obscene word and MUST be deleted. (If you wish I can translate it into English :))
 
:There are a lot of Russian pages, that MUST be deleted. They were created when vandals moved some pages.--[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 05:52, 27 August 2010 (EDT)

All right, I've deleted all the 0 byte and 61 byte pages that were a result of the vandalism. Also deleted a few existing pages that were just empty stub pages. Probably better to leave them as red links to indicate that they need to be written. If there are any other damaged pages that weren't deleted, send me a list of them and I'll have them deleted.
 
 
 
My only regret is that there's no way to truly clear these pages from the recents list, and the software still appears to hold the undelete data. Not that it will matter to most of the wiki visitors, but all this data must be cluttering the server space.
 
 
 
It was a pain deleting all those pages, but thank goodness for whoever first thought up the idea for introducing tabbed browsing in web browsers. I was able to clear most of the affected pages in an assembly line manner.

: It's REALY a great job, NKF! thank you very much!! If I'll find other junk pages, I'll send you a letter. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 05:20, 29 August 2010 (EDT)

I was out of action for a long time and I'm still very busy, but I think we have to clean up again. Another idiot apeared named [[User:Afinogenoff|Afinogenoff]]. He reverted or changed a lot of pages to their first state with ugly machine translation and must be banned as soon as possible.
 
And I think the only solution to prevent all this vandalism in the future is to make closed registration.--[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 07:09, 3 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
: I have put a block on the user. Please fix whatever needs to be fixed. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 08:19, 3 October 2010 (EDT)
 
:: Thanks, I'll fix it as soon as possible --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 08:35, 3 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
Well, I suppose that another vandalizm wave in progress. [[User:Huestojanie|Huestojanie]] is the name of another troll.
 
I'll start to revert pages to their correct look later, when the wave will pass. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 15:20, 3 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
Due to the latest facts I have to ask you to block [[User:Farpost|Farpost]]. I suspected him in this vandalism that happened at Russian section and it appears that he is guilty. He was caught in creating many accounts at Russian forums (where I am a moderator) and discussing the "perfectness" of Farpost's articles translation. I asked supermoderator there to reveal his IP to compare it with our wiki trolls. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 10:49, 4 October 2010 (EDT)
 
: Stop. I not a troll.
 
: Полный маразм, теперь не в силах тягаться с аргументами, стали приписывать вандализм и каких-то ботов на форуме. Никогда не создавал ботов на форуме. Свои переводы "perfectness" никогда не считал, всегда соглашался с их исправлением. И это еще если не забывать, кто создал русскую вики, кто подал идею. И после этого забаните что ли? --[[User:Farpost|Farpost]] 13:07, 4 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
:: I am really at a disadvantage when it comes to mediating this conflict. I suppose I can only do the best I can.
 
 
 
:: Even if Farpost is misbehaving on other forums, he has not been damaging this wiki like a few of the recent vandals, so I will hold off putting a block for the time being. If there is a problem, then please try to reach an amicable solution through discussion.
 
 
 
:: I am very conscious that if I, or any other sysops, frequently ban users because of small conflicts, this wiki is in danger of become an exclusive club. I don't want to see something like that happen. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 02:17, 5 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
We are under attack, again. [[user:Roman Bekker|Roman Bekker]] and [[user:Roma Goma|Roma Goma]].
 
If we won't take serious measures I think it will be a real pain to continue work on Russian Ufopaedia. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 04:26, 9 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
: Blocked. I really am getting quite tired of these immature vandals. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 04:23, 9 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
::Thanks. I'm tired, too. So, I insist on serious measures. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 04:26, 9 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
::: I'm going to ask if registration can be closed temporarily. Also it seems rather difficult to rollback the edits what with all these double edits and moves. -[[User:NKF|NKF]] 05:35, 9 October 2010 (EDT)
 
 
 
:::: Thanks for this great cleaning job, I planned to do it later due to lack of free time. Some pages still need to be changed, I'll fix them later. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] about 06:00, 9 October 2010 (EDT) (I always forget about signature and timestamp)
 
 
 
::::: It seems that I fixed all pages. For this time only UFO:EU section was attacked. It would be good to delete all history of changes made to these pages. But as far as I can remember, you said that it can be done only by Administrator. --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 07:54, 9 October 2010 (EDT)

NKF:Talk

Welcome to NKF Talk. Pardon the mess.

The NKF-Centric TO-DO-List of Doom

Total Randomness

The UBK is a transclusion template I created so that you could plug base layouts into your articles and discussions. Go see the template and its documentation at Template:UBK to see how to use it.

Lobsterman

This is a staggering creature, taller than a man and boasting six limbs, it resembles nothing more than an aquatic Demon. The similarities between this creature and the Earth lobster have earned it the nickname of Lobsterman with the X-Com troops.

This is a behemoth of the deep. A carefully designed fighting creature of incredible strength and practically invulnerable to missile fire. Its pincers alone can crush steel.

Lobsterman Autopsy
Autopsy

Once past its virtually indestructible shell the creature is an amazing construction. Powerful muscles ripple around a titanium skeleton, a sophisticated targeting system with multi-band scanning ability is hooked directly into the creature's brain. Its multiple eyes are protected by harder than steel plastics and it is clear that when well deployed by their masters these creatures are all but unstoppable.

Buried deep in its body are devices of unknown construction and function.

Insert table here with hidden stats such as melee accuracy, aggression, memory, damage multiplier class (point to damage multiplier table). Also possible rank combinations, with (blank) and Terrorist for terrorist units.

At end, add a see-also that points to spread-sheet that lists ALL combinations of aliens, ranks and difficulty levels.


Possible todo: Convert the border table into a template, with another template identical in name with a CLOSE suffix. So you can open and add a title, type content, then close and it'll be enclosed in the above box.

Clean up

Wiped old discussion for brevity. Cleanup of the vandalism of the Russian pages has been resolved for the moment. Will keep a watchful eye out for further abuse of the the wiki. Thank you. -NKF 07:17, 26 October 2010 (BST)
