Since I gotten rollback, I've noticed that every revert I did earlier counted as 2 edits (revert+warn) but now it counts as 1. Does it have something to do with rollback being used? If so, wouldn't not counting it provide an inaccurate edit count figure? Thanks! <span style="padding:5px; font-family:Century Gothic; background:linear-gradient(90deg,#00555A,rgba(0,85,90,0.83),rgba(255,0,0,0)); text-shadow:1px 1px #717171;">]‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎</span> 16:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Randomdude121}}, where exactly are you checking the edit count? At ], ] or using an external tool? Because these edit counts will differ for many reasons, some of which are explainable and some of which seem pretty random. Rollback <em>may</em> actually make a difference, deleted contributions may too, page protections do to my knowledge, page moves are probably counted differently too. Everything else than a normal edit may end up being filtered by one or another tool or counting method. ] (]) 00:13, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
::I usually check at ]. Just tried with another rollback and warn, the count still incremented by 1, making it 848 while it should have been 849. Perhaps it takes a few hours to count that edit because of its "special" nature? <span style="padding:5px; font-family:Century Gothic; background:linear-gradient(90deg,#00555A,rgba(0,85,90,0.83),rgba(255,0,0,0)); text-shadow:1px 1px #717171;">]‎‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎</span> 04:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

This has been going on for a long time from several IPs in Italy; I just reverted another of their edits. I reported them to AIV last month but one responding admin requested more details then a second responding admin thought I was requesting a rangeblock. Can ''anything'' be done about this?

== Advice on disruptive editor ==

Hi! I wanted to ask your advice on how to handle {{User links|150.195.180.35}}. For over a year, this editor has been making the same edits to one particular article (]). All their edits involved changing the OriginalAirDate parameter in an {{tl|Episode list}} template to add a date for a second country. My reading of the documentation for this template is that this is incorrect; this parameter should have only one date in it, the date of it's actual first airing. Several editors (mostly me but also others) have reverted these edits and I have added quite a few warnings on their talk page, but they have not responded and continue to persistently make these changes every few weeks or so (lately more frequently). I have also explained my reversions in each of my edit summaries but the editor has never used an edit summary.

This is a pretty minor point and I don't think it rises to the level of vandalism, so I don't think it's proper to bring it to AIV or ANI, and they are not breaking 3RR so AN3 isn't appropriate either. Is there a place that would be appropriate to discuss this? Or perhaps I am in the wrong and should just drop this? Thanks for any advice or help that you can offer. ] (]) 01:36, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Skywatcher68, the large range could be made one of the conditions of an edit filter (WP:EFR). I have blocked the most recently used address for now, but a filter could prevent the edits or allow them to be found more quickly/easily. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Advice on disruptive editor

Hi! I wanted to ask your advice on how to handle 150.195.180.35 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). For over a year, this editor has been making the same edits to one particular article (List of Rolie Polie Olie episodes). All their edits involved changing the OriginalAirDate parameter in an {{Episode list}} template to add a date for a second country. My reading of the documentation for this template is that this is incorrect; this parameter should have only one date in it, the date of it's actual first airing. Several editors (mostly me but also others) have reverted these edits and I have added quite a few warnings on their talk page, but they have not responded and continue to persistently make these changes every few weeks or so (lately more frequently). I have also explained my reversions in each of my edit summaries but the editor has never used an edit summary.

This is a pretty minor point and I don't think it rises to the level of vandalism, so I don't think it's proper to bring it to AIV or ANI, and they are not breaking 3RR so AN3 isn't appropriate either. Is there a place that would be appropriate to discuss this? Or perhaps I am in the wrong and should just drop this? Thanks for any advice or help that you can offer.
