:::::The Skribunto interface provides [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#frame:preprocess <code>frame:preprocess</code>], which seems to unify the abovementioned two calls into a single one (I haven't tested it). Maybe this can be configured to not use Lua, in case this simplifies things. What do you think? -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 14:56, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

::::::I don't see a problem with one extra API call per page to expand templates. Also, the function you link is a Lua API, for use in Lua modules running on the wiki, so I don't get how you want to use it outside.

Jean, what shall we do with spam users like User:JoleenStallings? Shall we remove them immediately? While they don't do harm to the Wiki, they are still polluting the namespace... -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 05:21, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

:Yes. I've just removed all their user pages and blocked them and their IP addresses. [[User:Jean Abou Samra|Jean Abou Samra]] ([[User talk:Jean Abou Samra|talk]]) 13:57, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

:::Obviously the spammers have discovered this wiki. IMHO there is only one solution. Creation of new users only with verification of an admin and editing only for registered users [[User:Manuela|Manuela]] ([[User talk:Manuela|talk]]) 19:53, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

However, if this becomes too much of a burden, some additional measures must be taken. -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 05:17, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
