== Spam accounts ==
There have been a lot of spam accounts created today, a lot of them are promoting ambulance chasers. Some of them are waiting hours after creating their accounts. [[User:Wynndale|Andrew]] ([[User talk:Wynndale|talk]]) 18:41, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
: I would say that 90% of accounts here are not osm.org users. I would block creating new accounts and do it manually - a user would need to give a link to their osm.org account. This is a small wiki and there is a small group of people who edit here and it would stop all spam and fake accounts. [[User:Maro21|maro21]] 22:24, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
::1) it would not block ALL spam accounts 2) it would be very significant hurdle for new editors [[User:Mateusz Konieczny|Mateusz Konieczny]] ([[User talk:Mateusz Konieczny|talk]]) 07:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
::: I'm wondering about the huge number of user accounts and creations of accounts with a large quota of users without any edits. Maybe we could connect the accounts (to have an existing OSM account for creating a wiki account). But it is also fair to keep barriers low to contribute to the wiki. --[[User:Chris2map|Chris2map]] ([[User talk:Chris2map|talk]]) 16:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

== Whitelist forms.gle ==
Wiki meta blacklist (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist) has added forms.gle:
\bforms\.gle\b
It's still a useful tool to handle participants to an OSM event, for example.
Could it please be whitelisted in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist ?

:{{ping|Richlv}} The Meta spam blacklist intends to include any URL shortening service, including forms.gle, due to privacy and security issues. We've [[Special:Diff/2000721|reluctantly whitelisted TinyURL]] because [[Sophox]] uses it for long, complex links that otherwise would be difficult to include in wikitext, but otherwise I'd be hesitant to whitelist a URL shortening service. If you need to link to something on Google Forms, can you link to the full URL, which isn't blocked? – [[User:Minh Nguyen|Minh <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Nguyễn</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Minh Nguyen|<span style="display: inline-block;">💬</span>]]</sup> 22:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

== Category:Pages unavailable in highway ==
: On this Wiki, we have such a system that what comes before the colon is a language code that creates an additional namespace. So in the names of these templates there should be no colon. [[User:Maro21|maro21]] 20:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
== Rewriting tag-linking templates in Lua ==
I've proposed rewrites of three commonly used templates for linking to tag description pages and am looking for some feedback or testing before I deploy them sitewide:
* [[Template talk:Tag#Lua rewrite]]
* [[Template talk:TagValue#Lua rewrite]]
* [[Template talk:TagKey#Lua rewrite]]
This is related to a recent discussion about [[#Too complex wiki pages|pages becoming too complex]] for the wiki to perform well. I can't promise that it'll solve all the issues related to page performance, but it's a start and comes with some other minor benefits.

== {DE:Tag}-template broken ==
The German community recently found out that the much-used {DE:Tag}-Template doesn't produce proper code anymore. It looks like <code><nowiki>highway::[[DE:Key:|]]:[[DE:Key:|]]=cycleway</nowiki></code>; instead. The template hasn't changed in years, but is used very, very often on German subpages.
