==Extra blocking checkbox for merging & deleting?==
 
In the everlasting battle against spambots, I have merged literally thousands of spambot accounts into Anonymous. [[Merge and delete users]] is really a fantastic tool.
 
 
A suggestion though: In almost all cases, I manually block the user (spambot) in question first before merging & deleting, in order to blacklist the IP adress. The blocking function offers several helpful checkboxes, and I usually check them all except for the last one.
 
 
It would cut the time lost on spammers in half if the Merge & Delete function had a similar checkbox option to automatically block the IP the spambot account was created from. It should still be a checkbox because there are cases thinkable where I wouldn't want to block the IP (e.g. we've had a legit user who requested his account be deleted for good, but who wasn't a spammer and would still use the wiki).

: That is a really good idea.  I checked on the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge UserMerge extension's Page] but no one has asked for that feature yet.  I'd suggest proposing it there to see if anyone picks it up -- if not, I can see about adding a checkbox some rainy day :) [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 21:50, 6 February 2018 (EST)
 
 
== Max article size? ==
 
Hi Nic, is there a limit on the size of articles? Some, like the product list, are very long already. And if we should try to implement nice sortable tables then the article size may double... [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 15:34, 20 May 2019 (EDT)
 
: The default max article size is 2 MB [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxArticleSize $wgMaxArticleSize], aka 2,196,608 bytes.  We could increase it if needed.  The [[List_of_BattleTech_products]] is only 87,000 bytes right now.
 
:Why would enabling sortable tables double the size though? That should all be done via JavaScript, with the <code>sortable</code> class added to the table. [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 09:23, 28 August 2019 (EDT)
 
 
== Star League commands order ==
 
 
Hi Nicjansma,
 
 
I've seen that the Star League commands order is different from the rest. Units assigned in sub-level commands do appear also in the root (something that does not happen in other Military Commands Categories. Am I right if I consider this Category incorrectly done?
 
 
I also think there are categories missing that should help reorganize this a bit better? The level of sub commands can be huge, and I do not even know which is the best way to order them.
 
 
I tried to make this a general query, but have no idea on how to do it.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 10:31, 18 July 2019 (EDT)
 
 
I've created and explained a proposal here: [[:Category talk:Star League Defense Force Commands]], could you review and share your insights?--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 08:56, 7 August 2019 (EDT)
 
 
: Thanks for leading the charge on this! [[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] ([[User talk:Nicjansma|talk]]) 09:23, 28 August 2019 (EDT)
