From Code Snippets Wiki

Welcome!

Several scenarios are presented below. In the first section, answer to the in sentence form explaining what you would do. In the second section, simple yes or no answers will suffice. When you finish the test, leave a message on my talk page indicating you did, so I can analyze your test, I will leave a message on your talk page indicating that is completed, returning to this page will show you the analysis, complete with your answers.

[edit] Section 1

1. An IP blanks the main page and replaces it with "code snippets is teh sukz lol", but didn't do anything else. What do you do, as an administrator?
Six months without warning or account creation. Never indef an IP, there may be some good editors on it.

2. An IP blanks several user pages, replacing each with "Suck my dick!". What do you do?
Probably three months minus account creation.

3. An IP leaves several spam messages on the page C plus plus. What do you do?
Warn once, twice, block for 24 hours, double that if there's another offense.

4. An IP levaes spam messages on 30 pages on the wiki, including user talk pages. What do you do?
Six months minus account creation.

5. Let's say you blocked the IP in question one (note: this may or may not be the correct answer), and his/her/its block subsequently expires after some time, and he starts mass vandalism across the wiki. What do you do?
Six monthhs again.

6. Two people are edit warring over the content of the page, which is about the TI-BASIC programming language, something you (at least for this scenario) don't know anything about. What do you do?
I'd warn them to stop warring, then, if it continued, I'd tell them to move their stuff to the talkpage. I'd also protect the article until they seem to have cooled down.

7. An IP leaves racist remarks on a user's talk page. What do you do?
Racism is one of the biggest offenses here on Codesnippets, so I'd revert and block for six months.

8. You notice that the page about Logos is being heavily vandalized by IPs over a period of time, but you notice no vandalism from registered users. What do you do?
I'd just semiprotect the page. If they logged in and continued to do so, I'd full protect and use 3RR.

9. Let's say you blocked the IPs who were vandalizing the page in scenario 8, but do not protect the page at all (again, this may or may not be the correct response). Now, newly registered accounts are vandalizing the same page. What do you do?
As I said before, I'd use 3RR.

10. You notice an IP constantly spamming a wiki, even after being warned several times, and after being recently blocked for one month (again, this may or may not be the correct answer to any of the questions above). What do you do?
Double the penalty for every time the IP spams.

11. You notice an IP make its first edits to the wiki, spamming massive numbers of pages with spam links. What do you do?
I'd warn them calmly (calm is effective), as they probably haven't gotten to know the rules. If they continue, I'd give them 48 hours without account creation.

12. Now, let's say that people are edit warring on Hex Triplet Colors, something that you know almost by heart (at least, for this scenario). What do you do?
Put down the correct info, protect the page, and tell the editors to go to the talk page to continue their POV pushing.

[edit] Section 2

For section 2, you are presented with scenarios where you decide whether to delete it, keep it, or nominate it for a deletion debate. Your answers should take this form: "D" for delete, "K" for keep, and "N" for nominate for deletion debate. In addition, place an "S" after the D if you also protect the page from recreation, SALTING, a description of which can be found here. Note: This is only delete or not delete, don't worry about blocking the user in question.

1. Someone creates a page with the letter "s" on it, and the page is titled "s".
D

2. Someone creates a page with vandalism on it, with an obscene title.
D

3. Someone proceeds to recreate the page from question 2 above. You delete. He/she/it recreates. What do you do now, after he/she/it recreated it?
DS.

4. Someone created a page that has content on it, but not a lot of content.
K

5. A page appears to be fake, meaning, a programming language that dosen't exist or a page only with misleading instructions.
D

6. Someone creates a page that does not pertain to the wiki, such as a page about Halo.
D

The test is now completed. Please leave a message on FastLizard4's talk page indicating you have finished (please link to this page), and he will notify you when your results are in.
