Page protection
Hello there, I have noticed several instances of you protecting pages at either sysop or bureaucrat level questionably, including today when you protected around 20 rights pages for being seemingly high traffic when it does not appear so and seems to be completely preemptive. Can you explain a bit more about why you find it necessary to protect so many pages? Naleksuh (talk) 04:43, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Since it seems you are away, I'm going to go and remove the protections for now, pending further discussion. Though if I've missed something I won't consider reversal of my action to be any kind of wheel warring. Best, Fast - ZoomZoom (talk) 02:15, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
If you are testing the mass-testing block feature, as you did on 11 March 2021, please apply the Bot flag while testing, to prevent spam of the Recent Changes feed. This generally is not recommended, but when testing 30+ times after range-blocking 3 IP addresses due to the Test Wiki:No open proxies policy, it's best to not spam feeds.

- @Harpsicorder: The bot flag was actually applied. SCREAM. (talk) 11:10, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- @EntireTOPscream: I'm not sure how I looked over that - my mistake. Harpsicorder (talk) 21:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
