This /64 has been generally useful from what I can see but has now shown up at AIV a couple times for doing what looks to be reasonable things. Not sure if there's a way around it. Izno (talk) 18:19, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think !ip_in_range(user_name, "2001:4645:B0B3:0:0:0:0:0/64") & could work. Nobody (talk) 05:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't really want to make a specific exemption here, especially not on a warn filter. It'll just lead to needing to exempt IP range after IP range. The essential way around it is for the IP to make an account, unfortunately. Once they're auto-confirmed, they'll be exempt from the filter. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 23:33, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This /64 has been stable since August last year, so while I tend to agree that it's not a great idea to be adding IP ranges directly in filters, this one seems like a reasonable one that won't need a ton of updates. Izno (talk) 15:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Done for now in absence of a more permanent solution. --EggRoll97 ^(talk) 18:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This name spelling has two pronunciations and I am not sure why someone edit this and took out pertinent info. There is a link provided. My name is Spelled like this and it is not pronounced Steven. This needs to be corrected and thereafter no further changes allowed to be edit regarding it.
