== JsfasdF252 creating unhelpful pages, attempting to make subpages of articles ==
{{user5|JsfasdF252}}
JsfasdF252 is consistently creating unhelpful pages, mostly related to templates and modules. They have also repeatedly attempted to make subpages of articles by moving single-use templates or unilaterally splitting off sections. Here's a rundown of the warnings on their user talk page:
{{collapse top}}
#[[:Category:Wikipedia editcopies]]: Tagged for speedy deletion per [[WP:C1|C1]], then unilaterally redirected to [[:Category:Wikipedia article sandboxes]] by JsfasdF252.
#[[Template:Sandbox heading/Talk/doc]]: Useless documentation deleted by TfD ([[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_November_25#Template:Sandbox_heading/Talk/doc]]) after a contested [[WP:G2|G2]].
#[[Template:Fake red link]]: Brought to TfD ([[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_November_24#Template:Fake_red_link]]), then moved to userspace by JsfasdF252 after a nomination per [[WP:G4|G4]].
#[[Template:Many images]]: A tag warning about a large number of images possibly slowing loading the page; redirected to [[Template:Too many photos]] after a TfD ([[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_November_27#Template:Many_images]]).
#[[Special:Diff/994871861|An edit]] on [[Talk:Main Page]] where JsfasdF252 changed all the links to {{tl|Direct link}}. They also made [[Special:Diff/994409164|a similar change]] at [[Atom]].
#[[Template:Direct link]]: It is unclear what this did, but it was deleted per [[WP:G7|G7]] at TfD at [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_December_18#Template:Direct_link]].
#* I think the aim of this template was to replace internal links with external links so as to prevent the existence of red links, or something along those lines. JsfasdF252 applied it very indiscriminately, see [[Special:Diff/994814036/994875306]]. [[User:GKFX]]<sup>[[User talk:GKFX|talk]]</sup> 16:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

: There are other serious issues with this editor's contributions that aren't mentioned in the list above, e.g. Retargeting decade old redirects with hundreds of backlinks with no discussion or explanation ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:PORTAL&diff=prev&oldid=1019322389] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Help&diff=prev&oldid=1015003291] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:P&diff=prev&oldid=1014178245]) some completely bizarre retargeting of redirects ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Colombia_river&diff=prev&oldid=1019655716]), Hijacking templates to add weird and useless functionality ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AIn&type=revision&diff=1016337072&oldid=905073948] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACd&type=revision&diff=1010490458&oldid=747734776]) mucking around in other people's pages and archives for no real reason other than to use whatever templates they've just created ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:JBW/Archive_1&diff=prev&oldid=1019579361] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jim.henderson/Archive_22&diff=prev&oldid=1019578668] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pk2k2000/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1010491078] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles/Archive_28&diff=prev&oldid=1010490974]) and converting dab pages into plain redirects ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:H&diff=1004663002&oldid=1001990725]). Most of this seems to be motivated by some kind of belief that we need to make the wikicode size of pages as small as possible through templates and splitting ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2021_April_17&diff=1019582119&oldid=1019539787] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Expatriates_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates&diff=prev&oldid=1016338736]) but their contributions are disruptive, and I think a [[WP:CIR]] block is required.

* JsfasdF252 doesn't seem keen to listen to advice or consensus; after <code>Direct link</code> was deleted, they recreated it ({{ql|Template:Direct link|qs=redirect=no}}) as a redirect to a template that could be used for the same purpose and created another redirect to it this week ({{ql|Template:Static link|qs=redirect=no}}). I'm tempted to say that both of those should be [[WP:G4]] given the unanimous and firm requests for deletion shown at the original TfD. That would not be their only G4. Another of their so-called "hybrid" templates was at {{ql|Template:Only|qs=action=history}} (the user warning template) which they tried to make into a {{tl|fix}}-based template displaying like "{{fix|link=Example|text=<nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki>|post-text=only}}"; they self-reverted that but only after the warning mentioned above about inserting it into pages. I would agree with a <s>block</s><ins>topic ban initially</ins>; it all just wastes time. [[User:GKFX]]<sup>[[User talk:GKFX|talk]]</sup> 16:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
* I've run into this user various times, as you can see above. I do think they're here in good faith, so I would support a topic ban from splitting articles, creating redirects, and editing template- and module-space (perhaps for six months?) If they're interested in contributing, there are still many ways they can, such as writing articles - and I hope they get the change and choose to do so!

* I recall there was a user exhibiting almost exactly these behaviors that we subsequently banned, though I can't recall the name. Regardless, I left a warning about the behaviors exemplified in this thread in the past few weeks, a request that has seemingly gone ignored. I honestly support an indefinite block and/or a namespace block from anything but the mainspace + interesting talk spaces. --[[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 02:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

== A History Merge and [[User:Unilimited247]] ==
*{{pagelinks|Agricultural value chain}}

*{{userlinks|Unilimited247}}
I just received a help request on my talk page. I can't do exactly what is being requested, but I mostly know what is being requested, and I know that admin help is required.
[[User:Roundtheworld]] said that they noticed that I had been messaging [[User:Unilimited247]], which I had, about an article that they had created in both draft space and user space. Their concern was about [[Agricultural value chain]], which Uni247 had moved/renamed to [[Agribusiness value chain]] without discussion. Roundtheworld tried to correct for this by copy-pasting the article back to its original location of [[Agricultural value chain]], but noticed then that it did not have history. That is true, because that is a known problem with doing a copy-paste. They asked if I would correct the problem and maybe block the user. I haven't reviewed the user's edits in detail, but it does appear that the user should be cautioned about aggressive edits without discussion. It appears that a history merge is needed, and that [[Agricultural value chain]] should go back to being the primary title, and [[Agribusiness value chain]] is a valid redirect. Will someone please do the history merge, and will someone please look at the edits by Uni247, who needs to slow down?

:Might this be a case where it isn't really necessary to merge? The only intervening edits are the copy/pate move and you adding the histmerge tag.

::[[User:Beeblebrox]] - Thank you. Then maybe what is necessary is just a round-robin move to get page history back to the title. I think that Unilimited247 needs to be cautioned not to do contentious moves without discussion. (The Move screen already cautions the editor, but some editors ignore any automated cautions.)

:::{{Done}} - The principal title is again [[Agricultural value chain]].
:::[[User:Roundtheworld]] - You meant well in copy-pasting back to the original title, but this made more of a mess that has now been cleaned up. The next time that you find a mess made by an inexperienced enthusiastic user, please don't guess at how to fix it, but ask for help. You both meant well.

== Targeted disruptive editing by 2603:8000:E807:D900::/64 ==
{{Checkip|2603:8000:E807:D900::/64}}
(I've previously [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/2603:8000:E807:D900:C95E:14A1:91CC:A59B|opened an SPI]] on this. Stupid, I know. But just putting it here for context.)
Almost of the IPs in this /64 range have attempted to revert my edits specifically in various articles, most of them in the whole month of April as can be seen in the contributions list. They've also done so with no apparent reason and without triggering notifications on my side so I've only found out just now. The edits have all been undone either by myself or someone else (but most of them have gone unnoticed until now). They appear to be intentionally choosing articles not commonly edited by editors so as to avoid suspicions.
I'm not quite sure who they are but they're obviously targeting me for some reason. The only thing in common that I can find is the {{history|Virtua Fighter 5}} article. Which also brings the following to our attention.
* {{Checkip|172.250.44.165}}
This IP was also involved in editing the Virtua Fighter 5 page previously and had disputed with me briefly which I have provided my reasonings for both in the edit summaries and [[User talk:LightKeyDarkBlade#Virtua Fighter 5|my talk page]] (but they didn't pursue further). The IP also appeared to have attempted to revert my edit at {{history|Battle Arena Toshinden}} but curiously reverted themselves. The IP also appears to share the same geolocation with the IPv6 /64 range in question.
I guess it's not solid evidence that they're the same person but the main problem is the IPv6 /64 range obviously targeting me and it's annoying that it went largely unnoticed even to myself (I didn't add most of those pages to my watchlist).
