Thanks for writing this, folks - a useful tool indeed. Now, here's a challenge for those well-versed in coding (as I am not): can WikiBreak Enforcer, or a variant, be designed to lock you out during certain hours, on an ongoing basis? The idea being, one could set it to lock up between midnight and 8 AM (time adjustable) to ensure at least a bit of sleep? --''']'''''<small><sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub></small>'' 18:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

::Buy two computers and use one for serious work and one for other stuff. Have separate areas and times for doing different stuff. That can help compartmentalise addictive areas of your life.

A way to request restore for mistake

I think we should add some ways like: request in the user talk page of an interface admin or email an interface admin (it's hard because users are logged out, or get an email address for email an interface admin like global block appeals) for people who want to hide their IP address. Thingofme (talk) 13:59, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

I agree. Pehaps an ARB-COM style email feature allowing us to contact interface admins. ---CX Zoom(/him) (|contribs) 13:51, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
We should have some email like User:Interface administrators to email, because now IP address can reveal private information. Thingofme (talk) 03:27, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
