Hi Udo. Please stop removing interwiki links. Because we have to patrol each of your edits, they're actually a waste of our time. Hopefully we will be able to run a bot soon to remove them all. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 19:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Μετάknowledge, ok, I just did this because IvanScrooge98 in de.wiktionary wanted to add interwiki links to the entry "Landknecht". By the way, we've implemented a filter in de.wiktionary to prevent such edits. And if you need help removing the old interwiki links, then let me know. Perhaps I can help with my global interwiki bot UT-interwiki-Bot ... Greetings from Austria --Udo T. (talk) 19:55, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- Alright, now that I know I'll help too. Sorry for misleading you but I had no idea they should be removed either :) [ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo] (parla con me) 20:03, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- We need to implement such a filter as well... unfortunately, I don't know how to write them. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:04, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Μετάknowledge, take a look at de:Special:AbuseFilter/23 and feel free to copy and adjust for en.wiktionary. The filter 23 allows removing of interwiki links only for sysops and editors and three of our local bots. Some global groups are also allowed to do this, to prevent blocking of them, when reverting vandalism, spam, etc. The filter de:Special:AbuseFilter/21 on the other hand prevents adding interwiki links.

- Thanks! I thought that as a non-admin there, I wouldn't be able to view it. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:07, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Defining a dirty word isn't trafficking in obscene material. If we posted pictures then it might be. Equinox ◑ 12:45, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
IP range block on de.wiktionary
We have received a complaint on OTRS from User:Merkið that a range block which you performed on de.wiktionary has caused this user to be unable to edit. Wide range blocks which last for many years are a very bad idea and often have unintended consequences like this. Please fix this situation as soon as possible. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- I may have misinterpreted, but if I understood you correctly on de.wikt, you were doubting that I am in fact an OTRS member? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:16, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
