bot flag

My bot made 40+ edits to articles, changing out the broken infoboxes. However, the infobox change was reverted by PM, messing up the new infoboxes, so now I need to revert my bot's edits, which can done much faster using rollback. It shouldn't take longer than 10-15 minutes. Griffinofwales (talk) 14:14, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is it possible to make it impossible to create pages with my user name? – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 06:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That could be done through the title blacklist, or the abuse filter. Tiptoety ^talk 06:52, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response, Tiptoety. Either one is fine, as I'm fairly disturbed about the recent flurry of vandalism. – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 06:53, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. That said, I am not a sysop here, so I am unable to fulfill your request. Posting the administrators noticeboard may be what you want to do. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 06:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that's what I will do, then. :) Thank you, – Katerenka (talk • contribs) 06:56, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no abuse filter here, Tiptoety. There is however the titleblacklist. --Bsa dow ski1 06:57, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
