User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson

Hi! This is my user talk page. Just leave me a message and I’ll respond when I can. If you want a request for a moderator to do something, it is much better for you to go to the Moderators' noticeboard, as it will be much quicker to get a response than here and I'm very active there too.
If there is a message I haven't replied to in more than 5 days, then I'm completely fine with you spam pinging me until I do reply.

I just saw your edit notes lol, but not sure exactly what you're trying? If you need a hand I can try and help/find someone who's around. Keith (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Lol thanks, I am trying to add userscripts and losing my mind trying. I am trying to upload from Wikipedia and into my common.js file which (on Wikipedia at least) automatically runs for you to do something, but it is completely failing. It probably isn’t possible and I am wasting my time to be honest. Thanks for asking! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:03, 5 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Have looked into it with some of the technical folks, and we currently have user Javascript disabled for security reasons. I'll have them take a look and get back to you! But just wanted to let you know it wasn't a 'you' problem lol Keith (talk) 21:48, 5 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ah okay! Time to use common.css (somehow??) AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:47, 6 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thinking about it, I am quite happy that you chose to disable Javascript! I hate that thing anyway because it is not secure and looks like a pain to program in anyway. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:48, 6 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I have a wiki on Miraheze that I created recently and was wondering if you're open to helping me out with some admin stuff? You seem to enjoy tinkering with CRW, so I was hoping we could work together for a bit on this new wiki. Is that something you'd be interested in? Beanie Bo (talk) 17:57, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sure! I actually have self-hosted mediawiki instances (on my own computer using something called XAMPP, you can’t look it up online) so I wouldn’t mind helping out! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:25, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Also, how did you get the name ‘Beanie Bo’? I’ve been curious but never asked on your talk page. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:26, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Nice! Can you email me via my user page and let me know your email so we can talk about it? The wiki is currently set to private but I'll open it so you can create a user account.

As for my wiki name, well Beanie is just a throwaway that I use sometimes. It was a play on Mr. Bean lol, and the Bo part just randomly came to mind when I created this wiki account. I didn't expect to be so involved with CRW for this long but it turned out great! Beanie Bo (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I don’t use my main email for things like wikis, but I can attach a temporary email address if you want to talk via email. I used to use a temporary email address up until I thought it was an awful idea if I randomly got mail from it. Cool story on the name though! Did remind me of Mr. Bean. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:49, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

It's all good. I'll just link it here. Apparently you can create account even when it's set to private...? I'll verify you once it shows up for me. Also, I can't do much at the moment since I'm not at my desktop. The mobile theme is so broken lol.. maybe tomorrow we can discuss it more

Beanie Bo (talk) 20:04, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

You cannot create an account, I couldn’t find the create account button there so I went to Special:CreateAccount where it said you needed to be a member to create it. There is a setting in MediaWiki where you can make others be able to request an account and you can accept it, though. That is probably what you saw. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:22, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

I made it public. Should be good now (I hope!) Beanie Bo (talk) 21:00, 8 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, it works - going to create an account now. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:12, 9 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

im looking at the wiki commit log feed and you seem to be having a lot of fun with commit names such as "huh" and "WHAAT". very entertaining seeing you go. have a nice day :) Plankton (talk) 19:57, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I love having fun in edit summaries lol. Especially as they generally aren’t seen (except when I go to Special:Random and go to page history). Glad someone enjoys them! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:01, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ive read through some of your stuff. You arent on discord so you dont know this, but on the wiki discord there is a channel that is just a big stream of commits with their summary. I love peeking through them and seeing what people are doing. Plankton (talk) 20:03, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

LOL what??? That is insane… Thanks for telling me that, that is so funny! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:05, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

you can also go to Special:RecentChanges Plankton (talk) 20:08, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I have recently taken up a habit of patrolling that, but I don’t think many others (if any others at all) do that, so an entire channel dedicated to discord is a much bigger step up. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:09, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

person after my own heart lol SinexTitan (talk) 16:06, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

i dont know how you find the time to contribute this much to the wiki but man you are awesome. keep it up. Plankton (talk) 03:58, 27 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! the answer is I have no life AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:05, 27 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

You won!!

For the first year of the Wiki, you've made more edits than anyone else! Louis doesn't count cause he cheated with bulk image import.

We'll be getting a proper awards/profile medal plugin in the next month or so, and you'll absolutely be getting a shiny gold one! Keith (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Nice! Glad about a new plugin coming, the current one does try but it doesn't get perfect results! AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 18:40, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

The moment I saw it said 1000 articles I knew I had to immediately archive it. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Nice! James was gutted last night because it was at 999, and then he created one, and then went to the front page, and saw that you had deleted two old ones so it went to 998! Looks like we're comfortably at/over 1000 now though. Keith (talk) 19:28, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oh no! Well, I had to do what I had to do... AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:31, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

wha? SinexTitan (talk) 16:02, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

what feels like millions of files you marked for deletion. im trying to find a way to delete all of them at once right now AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:05, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

lmao pick up the pace buddy cuz I ain't done 😎 SinexTitan (talk) 16:08, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

oh. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:08, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

hey a question, getting a "Warning: A file by that name has been deleted or moved.". do I ignore it? SinexTitan (talk) 16:20, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

ignore, I've gotten that before out of nowhere too AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:21, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

yo dis what? File:Rainbow trout transparent.png SinexTitan (talk) 16:44, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

for a very stupid import of Wikipedia (this was where I got it from), so I'll delete it now AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:45, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

lmao cool cool. I didn't even know of its existence. SinexTitan (talk) 16:47, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

hope you don't mind the prank lol SinexTitan (talk) 19:28, 24 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

no I don't lol AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:30, 24 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

also you spelt my name wrong in the deletion log. it's spelt S i n e x T i t a n. please keep that in mind for the next time SinexTitan (talk) 19:36, 24 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

okay cinekschichun AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 19:37, 24 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

hey so my shit disappeared from Special:ContributionScores lol SinexTitan (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

welp sorry AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:59, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

nah it's cool lmao. kinda enjoying myself being a ghost lol. I get to haunt #1. besides, in the grand scheme of things what's sm stupid binary? I already knows in my heart I'm #1, which's all that matters. <3 SinexTitan (talk) 07:29, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

yay its fixed now! so much for haunting the leaderboards lmao SinexTitan (talk) 14:41, 25 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

hey so I started Chat Control a while back and today I checked it after seeing Mullvad's latest post on the Fediverse. It's pretty much in the same state as I last left it. I only know abt Chat Control as much as I've contributed and I currently don't have the time to further contribute. I couldn't figure out where to discuss this and didn't want to clog up Consumer Rights Wiki talk:Moderators' noticeboard, so I hope you don't mind. Is there a way we can further its development b4 the June deadline? The negotations have started recently so the lack of coverage could be excused, but I feel like this problem is one that mandates the wiki. People could link their reps this article for them to read and comprehend as to y this is a problem to be opposed. Alongside people that never heard of it, know little abt it or whatever their situation might be, can be further enlightened on the topic. SinexTitan (talk) 16:35, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sure, I haven't seen Mullvad's post yet though. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Can you provide a link to Mullvad's post? AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

here SinexTitan (talk) 16:04, 1 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I've added a bit, more to come soon (if I don't forget). AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:25, 1 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

You might wanna add the scoring template on my user page so I can see the numbers man ...... is it true!??? Im8685 (talk) 08:11, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

• from Im8685 (talk) 08:11, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I won't display it on my userpage, but I'll put it here. For licensing reasons, I'll say I got the table from User:Im8685.

AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:06, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

we're not officially launching it yet (will probably do so on sunday or monday), but we're setting up the zulip now and want to get mods etc. onboarded. Expect a bit of jank while we do the setup!

https://zulip.consumerrights.wiki/ Keith (talk) 22:42, 13 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'll log in now (with a temp email address). AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:08, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Keith are temp email addresses allowed? I had to specifically get one with a gmail.com domain because the others are disallowed. Or is that a discord issue?? AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 06:16, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

shouldn't be anything to do with discord - I'll pass it on to jake Keith (talk) 06:41, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

hey,

wondering if it would be possible (and a good idea) to upload this instagram reel from this wiki article to the wiki: Happy Bar & Grill biometric surveillance tool development#cite ref-12 Citation #12, that way it's uploaded to the wiki and it's basically archived.

I unfortunately don't have an archive.org account otherwise I would've made a page for it and linked to it as an archive. I don't think wayback does backups for instagram pages.

Can't upload the video to the wiki, says it requires sysops priv.

The video is here if you or someone else would like to upload it and add it to the article: https://bin.nixnet.services/?175d0b8a39f3b062#HEoLUhyAiRUAJoyP5NqkzYBjbkMUxsPtuNfhwr6Li5Ac

it'll be valid for a month. Proceed how you like, it's your decision to use it or not.

Also, if there's a website that does video archives without an account, I'd love to know about it.

I've found this: https://imginn.com/reel/DSUYij0jLkY but it doesn't seem like an archival service. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:30, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm not entirely sure of the copyright status of the video though, so I'm currently not sure if I should upload it or not in the first place. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:32, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

That's also a point, I'll see what I can do. Left4Code (talk) 20:36, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

File:UNWE-unknown-face-alerts.png

the option is there. I just screenshotted from the reel. Copyright issues are still potentially there.

given the heat on the issue at the moment and the recent actions around it that could lead to problems, I won't be uploading anything to it. Left4Code (talk) 20:51, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

thanks for talking through it with me, I appreciate the help. Left4Code (talk) 20:52, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

interesting find, but I think you're right, it likely isn't an archive.

The consumerrights wiki IPFS filestore grows in demand every day

I'm going to try and take a capture of this frontend and see if it saves the video, that might be the ticket. Left4Code (talk) 20:36, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

got cloudflared, it might be better to just take some important screenshots off of the video and upload those instead. Left4Code (talk) 20:43, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Specifically the three images I uploaded on March 22, 2026 for the Dark pattern article:

• File:MyCarly website cookies 2.png
• File:MyCarly website cookies 1.png
• File:MyCarly website cookies dark pattern.png

I still have the originals if you're unable to restore those files. — Sojourna (talk) 01:34, 26 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Undelete them yourself, for some reason I can't undelete deleted files only the page associated with them. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 05:48, 26 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
