Agreed. Nuke TVT post-2012 pages with extreme prejudice in order to protect the wiki.

The only reason I asked was the user was claiming he was in the process of "changing" them to to make them not a violation; otherwise I wouldn't have asked.

That sort of changing needs to be done offline, IMHO.

Can someone do a background check per 108.41.185.53? His new article doesn't show up on TVT, just seems like a lot of work for a new IP.

What's the issue? The contributor's edits appear to be of decent quality for a new troper.
Maybe somebody forgot to login.

The IP doesn't appear in StopForumSpam's database. That's not an ironclad guarantee but it is a point in his favor.

Just for an IP to make such substantial changes , the need for due diligence was necessary. If it's legit, it's legit.

Meanwhile...

Do you get the feeling I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the increasing frequency of 503s?

You think with the amount of downtime that whatever provider Miraheze uses would be refunding them the time lost like nearly all cloud providers do these days.

The problem usually seems to be that we blow past the data caps, so Ramnode shuts it off, then we tell them that the traffic is all internal to the DC on that machine, so they insert coin into the data cap machine. Repeat once for each server near the end of the month, at random intervals. If they could meter traffic that actually left the data center that would be helpful.

Is this a problem that can be solved by throwing money at it, or do they need to find, install, and run a better traffic monitor?

I'd appreciate advice on what to do next with this page. Eventually, the lists will go on the matching city pages, but what happens before then?

So... why do we get 503s at the start of the month, then?

Apparently we've got a quota of 503s to use or they just pile up and inconvenience other wikis on Miraheze.

Question: How batshit am I in my quest to slowly port the entire Project Gutenberg public domain source of Les Miserables onto ATT?

We might as well nickname Miraheze the 503 wiki.
Also Volume 1 out of 5 completed per my Miserables project. Vol 2 Book 1 is 19 chapters, the rest of vol 2 is an additional 7 books of 57 odd chapters.
This is obviously a long-term project. Fuck forbid that anyone in the outside world bothers to read it on ATT after I finish importing it.
Did I mention I have never read it, or seen the musical or the film?

I've never read it, either. Something for when I retire...
Changing topics, I just started a forum thread that asks a question.

Oh, that's interesting...
As currently shown on Ambiguous Syntax/Quotes, {{quote|foo<ref>bar</ref>|credit}} puts the reference at the end of the quotation and before the credit, not (as expected) at the end of the page that the quote is on.
Bug or feature?

You placed the reference before the credit. Hence why it shows up like that.
Template wise, I believe MediaWiki has all the perameters encapsulated, which is why the reference doesn't bleed through. It makes sense to prevent any overflow problems or exploits.

It was like that when I found it...
Feature, not bug. Okay by me - that means I don't need to "fix" it.
