#Blocked from editing test wiki and test pages removed

Yesterday, I created a couple of pages on the public test wiki to test things out (https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/Template:Card and https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/Colossal_Dreadmaw), and when I went to edit them today, I found that they were removed, and that I was blocked from editing the wiki for "inserting spam into testwiki".

I apologize if the pages I created were out of scope of the test wiki, but I was under the impression that it was a place where you could freely create and edit pages as long as it doesn't interfere with other users testing, and you revert your edits after it's done. Normally I'd do the testing on my wiki, but seeing as it's down, that's impossible.

Any help getting my account unblocked so I can continue testing would be greatly appreciated.

I think it might be because of the separate domain name (publictestwiki vs test.miraheze.org) but idk

We'll sort it

#

Yes, domain will impact

Gotcha

SUL can be funky at times. It should tell you if you are logged out but might be worth always checking in the top right before pressing save.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks again for all the help

I just checked the recent changes, thanks again for the swift response and stripping Brandon of his bureaucrat/admin privileges. I wonder wtf was going through his head

While I can understand the confusion the IP edits may have caused, I really don't get how you immediately jumped to the conclusion that I was a spammer, when I created a template, a page to test out that template, and a stylesheet. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how that's clearly someone doing a test, and honestly it's insulting that you thought that was spam after I spent a few hours working on it

the reason i jumped to the spam conclusion was because firstly, it was testwiki and not an external wiki, which is usually where stuff like this is created. secondly, it was an off-topic template, which spammers have created before. it wasn’t anything against you at all, and again i’d like to apologize for that. it was just the IP edits combined with the whole off-topic thing of the template that made me think that. we’ve had issues with this in the past, which is why. again, my apologies.

if there is anything i can do, please let me know.

An off-topic template is nonsense. Any template anyone wants to test with is on-topic.
