Help:Interwiki tools

The deploys and maintains the use of several cross-wiki based tools to help take better advantage of the Roblox Interwiki Project. These utilities were designed to better monitor contributors and contributions made across wikis on the project.

Most of the below utilities can be installed on your Roblox wiki, even if unaffiliated with the Roblox Interwiki Project. You can contact JoTS on Community Central if you need assistance installing these utilities.

[ Special:CentralRecentChanges]
The being the de facto central, topical hub of the Roblox Interwiki Project, we have deployed the special page [ Special:CentralRecentChanges] onto our wiki. This page acts as a centralized RecentChanges utility across wikis affiliated with the Roblox Interwiki Project.

This utility can be used to help identify vandals who may be targeting several Roblox wikis in real-time.

TopicBlockLog

 * This utility can be installed on your local wiki! Custom javascript will need to be enabled on your wiki first, contact FANDOM for assistance.

TopicBlockLog shows block log entries for an individual user across several wikis (i.e. Roblox wikis) on Special:Block. This allows a local wiki administrator to better identify a user who is making bad contributions with bad intent by taking consideration of a user's block history on other wikis.

Other utilities of interest
The also employs the use of other non-interwiki based utilities that may be of interest to your own Roblox wiki. As the is often referenced among Roblox wikis as a starting point or template for their own wiki, some of the below utilities we use and/or maintain has seen adoption elsewhere:
 * BlockMessages (and MessageBlock)
 * If your wiki often sees vandalism, or other standardized blockable offenses, BlockMessages can automatically send a message & notification to offenders on their message wall or talk page with more information on their block.


 * Abuse Filter
 * Abuse Filter is a powerful utility that automatically identifies potentially non-constructive contributions and takes action accordingly: including halting the publishing of a bad edit and blocking a user.
 * The has developed some original abuse filters that have also been deployed to some other Roblox wikis and can be adopted on others.
