The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

Insanely libelous usernames on the first page of Special:ListUsers[edit]

wrong noticeboard

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I have been looking at ! ! ! ! ! I'm HereToHelp! I like to fuck trees! (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) every time I open Special:ListUsers for the last several years.

Is there really nothing at all that can be done about this?

Of course it would be impossible to do this for all offensive or insulting usernames -- and that string of characters will doubtless appear somewhere on Wikipedia -- but for the first couple pages of the list, surely we could get rid of the most obvious few, so that every single time someone went to the user list it wasn't giving them this crap? jp×g 🗯️ 10:47, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we could rename all blocked accounts with offensive usernames, unless they are in use elsewhere? Or we could (by default) not list indefinitely blocked users unless a box is unchecked?

I don't think this is a good topic for the bureaucrats, though. Idea lab or technical village pump, maybe? —Kusma (talk) 11:03, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had the idea somewhere in my noggin that crats did name changes, but I see now that this is untrue. Nonetheless! jp×g 🗯️ 11:17, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
