Creating user pages for other users on Meta
Hi BlackWidowMovie0000Editor,

I noticed that you tripped an abuse filter in log entry #1 and log entry #2 in trying to create a user page for Naleksuh. While I realize you no doubt did this in good-faith, it is entirely with Naleksuh's right to have, or not have, a user page, and that should be respected. Please ensure you respect this convention going forward.

Thanks,

 * This was an accident, and I accidentally clicked on the Naleksuh page, and it took me to the userpage. I tried to exit, but I couldn't. Then it saved the page. I don't know why. BlackWidowMovie0000Editor (talk) 22:38, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Why could you not exit? And, why after a warning was displayed did you save through the warning? Naleksuh (talk) 23:02, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, the way our abuse filter 7 is set up, from the looks of it, it is set up to first warn then disallow the edit, so that's why it does seem somewhat odd. Nevertheless, and this may or may not be the issue, do you have VisualEditor enabled in either your preferences or global preferences? Following resolution of a long-standing problem with VisualEditor not functioning for many users on most or all wikis, we were recently able to enable, which enables VisualEditor's source editing mode. As such, when you visit a page now (if you have VisualEditor enabled), the source editor is prepopulated. To leave the page, you simply click any link in the wiki interface. If it wasn't the issue, can you clarify what error you received, so we can resolve the issue? Dmehus (talk) 23:14, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I absolutely HATE VisualEditor, so it's always disabled for me. It automatically went to AbuseFilter triggered. BlackWidowMovie0000Editor (talk) 00:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hrm, okay, I don't mind VisualEditor, and actually prefer its source editing mode. Nonetheless, I'm not sure what the issue is. At any rate, you now know not to create user pages for other users, so that's good. If you want to report the problem you are encountering, you can reference this discussion by role pinging system administrators on Discord. Hope that helps. Separately, I have revision deleted the preceding revisions for you, so only Meta administrators can view them. If you require suppression, you can direct message me on Discord. Thanks.

Manual archiving
Hi BlackWidowMovie0000Editor,

Please note that I have reverted your very good-faith manual archiving of Naleksuh's and your wiki creator requests. While any user can manually archive discussions outside of the prescribed automated archiving, there generally should be a good reason to do so. Archiving two recently concluded discussions, concluded within the past week or so, is not one of those reasons.

Cheers,

 * Ok. Thanks for the heads up. One thing. Can you DM me in Discord instead of leaving me messages on my talk page? I can respond faster there. Thanks! BlackWidowMovie0000Editor (talk) 16:40, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
