== 2023 New Years Attack ==
== Jan 1, 2023 ==
On January 1st, 2023, several accounts began making disruptive edits such as emptying page contents, changing page titles, and waging personal attacks against the InfraWiki admin, WikiSysop. The accounts have been banned, and more strict permissions were implemented on the site.  
An account named Anti-revisionistMLS made [[Special:Contributions/Anti-revisionistMLS|several disruptive edits]] such as emptying page contents, changing page titles, and harassment and personal attacks against WikiSysop. The account has been banned, and more strict permissions were implemented on the site.  


Here are the disruptive editors' contributions: 
WikiSysop is going through all history to add good editors to the "contributors" user group to allow them to edit.
