Administrator access

Daramlagon@bclwiktionary

Hello, I recently received a grant funding from the WMF to head a campaign (Dec 2021-July 2022) for the Bikol Wiktionary. In this regard, I would like to request administrator and interface administrator access to apply necessary changes and updates in the said platform, especially in the language codes, spelling guide, diacritics, introductory grammar, entry organization, and audio. These were based on suggestions and feedback of my fellow editors (see discussion page). My goal is to make the platform more systematic, accessible, economical, and collaborative. This will also ensure a smoother and a more active participation from editors (both old and new) and readers which I have invited to participate in the 6-month campaign to revitalize Bikol Wiktionary. Thank you and stay safe. Daramlagon (talk) 15:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 On hold until 2022-01-10 --Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:13, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
@Daramlagon: Does 6 month temporary (interface-)adminship work for you or would you need more time? Thanks, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 20:28, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
@MarcoAurelio: Thank you for the speedy response. A 6-month temporary (interface-) adminship will do. And if the need for my (interface-) adminship extension ever arises, I will consult with my fellow editors about it and inform you as soon as possible. More power to you and your team. Thanks and stay safe! — Daramlagon (talk) 21:02, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
@Daramlagon: Adminship granted for 6 months as requested until (until 13:19, 16 July 2022 (UTC)). For interface administrator access, the Foundation has decided that two-factor authentication is required. Could you please enable 2FA on your account so I can grant you said permissions? Thanks! —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
@MarcoAurelio: Thank you for approving my adminship request. I have already enabled 2FA (Google Authenticator) on my account. I will let you and your team know if I encounter any difficulties navigating the system. Keep safe. Thanks! Daramlagon (talk) 15:53, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Perfect. I've added interface administrator flags too now that 2FA is enabled. Best regards, stay safe. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Done. Granted for 6 months. Permissions expire: 16 July 2022. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 16:02, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Our Belarusian language edition of Wikisource is actively growing lately. Unfortunately we have only one administrator, and he is not very active in project life. Besides that, I follow closely the work there. So I decided to nominate myself for administratorship. Gleb Leo (talk) 12:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

和平奮鬥救地球@zhwikinews

和平奮鬥救地球 (known as Peacearth in English) was a local administrator from July 2016 to March 2017 (resigned local Bureaucrat and Administrator together), and June 2020 to June 2022 (temporary adminship expired). He applied to extend his adminship (or perferably, a permanent adminship as he has already served two-year temporary adminship before). According to local policy, applications for permanent administrator permission shall be supported by 80%+ voters and be open for 2 weeks. The required polling period has completed with no opposition opinion received. Hence, as a local administrator, I would be much grateful if Stewards may proceed with granting him the permission accordingly. --HW (talk) 03:41, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

4 votes for adminship is insufficient to make it permanent. The community is too small. Ruslik (talk) 20:50, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
As per his request, I think Peacearth is also happy with a temporary permission. --HW (talk) 18:09, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2024-07-08. Ruslik (talk) 08:49, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Erokhin@ruwikibooks

We need a final decision, here. According to local policy, applications for permanent administrator permission shall be supported by 6 voters За and be open for 1 weeks. The required polling period has completed with no opposition opinion received. Earlier, I was already served twice (6 months and 1 year) temporary adminship. --Erokhin (talk) 05:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Done indefinitely per local policy, the RfA and prior temporary adminship. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:01, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm requesting permanent admin access to stqwiki because of a lack of active admins. stqwiki doesn't have an own crat. --Murma174 (talk) 20:57, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2023-07-10. Unfortunately, I can't grant permanent adminship at this moment. I granted a year-long adminship instead.

Thanks. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:31, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Rebel Agent@tnwiktionary

Greetings I'm requesting for temporary admin rights on the Setswana Wiktionary, I want to keep a watch on the Setswana projects and to delete useless pages, this rights will help. Thank you Rebel Agent (talk) 07:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Rebel Agent, Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2022-10-14. To prolong your adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thank you for the work you are doing. A small note about Wiktionaries though if you don't mind: unlike Wikipedia and other Wikimedia wikis, Wiktionary is set up so that whether the first letter in a word is upper case or lower case matters, i.e. wikt:tn:Batho bantsho and wikt:tn:batho bantsho are different articles. So most commonly pages on Wiktionary start with upper case letter only when the word is normally used with upper case, such as in case of proper names, so e.g. wikt:Setswana but wikt:apple. That said I have no clue about Setswana orthography, just a thing for you to keep in mind while working there. Cheers. --Base (talk) 07:43, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello @OskarRand1, thank you for volunteering! To get admin permissions, you need to start a discussion at et.wikibooks, which will last for at least a week. This discussion can happen at a central discussion page (such as Village pump), admins' noticeboard or a dedicated page to request permissions. This is necessary even if there is seemingly no one else active – the primary purpose of the discussion is to ensure people have the ability to object. Please post a link to the discussion here once you do so.  On hold until a discussion is started. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Caro de Segeda@lfnwikipedia

Hi,
There are no administrators at the Elefen Wikipedia and I would like to contribute there. It will be goodto have someone that understands the language helping out there. --Caro de Segeda (talk) 06:34, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

As stated at the top of this section "This page is not the place for any discussions or votes" — that would be this page. If anyone thinks any global policies have been violated, they are recommended to either file for a global ban or contact Trust and Safety if more appropriate. — TNT (talk • she/her) 14:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Before this request is even taken into account, I think a few things need to be answered. First, why is Caro de Segeda using two accounts with multiple permissions, including crat on some Wikis to promote themselves? Caro de Segeda and user:Chabi are the same person. Caro de Segeda, has done nothing but promote "Vicente Castelago" on multiple projects over 100+ times! here Caro claims to have helped with multiple projects, however it was Chabi who did so. Here, they have the same userpage, and here it is clear that Vicente Castelago is Chabi and declares as much by stating that they created the language which lfn and other projects are based on. This is a big breech of trust not to mention a huge red flag. I can detail more privately to any stewards who would like further evidence. Praxidicae (talk) 14:17, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Praxidicae for this additional context. I am busy for most of today, but when I have time I will look into this as thoroughly as possible. This is quite concerning. Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 14:21, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
yes, especially when combined with some private evidence which I will share with qualified individuals upon request. Praxidicae (talk) 14:23, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, now I got lost. So the reason why Praxidicae is deleting the articles is not because the article might or might not be important, it is because it is believed that it is self-promotion? Am I right? Caro de Segeda (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
It's a number of things, including a wild amount of crosswiki promotion about an unencyclopedic subject unsupported by actual reliable sources. Now can you please explain why you are using two accounts to do this, while requesting rights and using advanced rights on both this account and Chabi? Praxidicae (talk) 14:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
The author is mentioned in Cosmoglotta 329, the main magazine published in Interlingue (since 1922, so it wasn't created by him). He is also mentioned in the official website from the Union Mundial pro Interlingua (the official global organization that promotes Interlingua, created in 1955). Aren't those reliable sources? He is the main literary author in Interlingue, since the creation of the language in 1922, so I believe he might deserve an article on Wikipedia just because of that.
However, I do understand that an article about him might not be important in smaller Wikipedias, but this is not the first time this happens: you can find articles about Polish towns in every single Wikipedia and I don't see anybody deleting them.
Also, the only two original novellas published in Lingua Franca Nova have been written by him so, if he deserves an articles in any Wikipedia, that should be in thet LFN Wikipedia, where you, Praxidicae, deleted the article without any dialogue (which means you didn't respect the rules, right?). And in that same Wikipedia, other users have written to you asking to take the article back.
I do understand that each Wikipedia is somehow different from each other (the Hungarian one will have more articles dedicated to Hungary than the one in Basque), and that this particular article might not be important in smaller Wikipedias which are focused on their on cultures, like the one in Maori, but I believe that it should be kept in all Wikipedias written in conlangs and in other Wikipedias in languages with more speakers, as they have articles from different topics, even if they are not directly related to their language.
This person is the main author of original literature in two languages (Interlingue and Lingua Franca Nova) so if the article about Baghy (one of the most important authors in Esperanto) appears in different Wikipedias, I don't see why this one doesn't have the right to be there, specially, when it is not trying to sell anything and it keeps a neutral point of view. Caro de Segeda (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
@Caro de Segeda why are you using this account and the Chabi account? Praxidicae (talk) 15:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Question Question: @Caro de Segeda: I only have one question: If you are elected sysop are you going to restore this page? I ask you this because I notice that your proposal comes after a page deletion by a GS you complained about, also supported by inactive users, who only came back to complain about the deletion and to vote in your election! Best Superpes15 (talk) 14:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Yes, please see this conversation where the speakers of Lingua Franca Nova are asking Praxidicae to take the page back as that person is one of the main authors in that language. He deleted the page without any conversation, no voting, nothing when if one Wikipedia has a reason to have an article about that person is the Wikipedia in Lingua Franca Nova because is the main author of published books. Caro de Segeda (talk) 14:29, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
For a final time, I am not a he. I am female, my pronouns are she/her. Praxidicae (talk) 14:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Sorry about that, I forgot when writing that answer. Caro de Segeda (talk) 15:03, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
So are you asking for the flag just to counter the action of a GS? I see that one user had been inactive for a year and a half, while the other user had been inactive for two and a half months, it seems a bit weird to me that they both - the first one in particular - only come back to complain about Praxidicae and to vote for your election (which has no written statement). The community consensus decision-making doesn't work exactly like this! Furthermore, the story of the sock reported above is also concerning (in particular with regard to self-promotion), at least imho. Superpes15 (talk) 15:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
The community of Lingua Franca Nova is a small one, are you going to use the same rules as for the English Wikipedia, with all the speakers it has? I don't think that is fair. Again, the article is about an important author IN THAT LANGUAGE, so of course, if it needs an article, it should be there. I said it before and I repeat myself again, I do understand if Praxidicae wants to delete the articles in small Wikipedias, as I believe they are more self-centered, but deleting the article about the main writer in Elefen in the Wikipedia in Elefen, excuse me but it seems a terrible mistake.
If the community of the Wikipedia in LFN is just three or five people, what can we do? Those are the ones voting. If the Wiki hasn't have movement recently, does it mean that the votes of those users is less valuable? Because they are the users it has, that's it. But now it seems that we need something extra to prove when it is a Wikipedia you cannot compare to the big ones. Caro de Segeda (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
I'm not saying this! I'm saying there wouldn't have been any problems to give you the flag even if there were no votes imho. Instead seeing votes from a user who has not been active on lfnwiki for more than 1 year and a half is not very nice (this is my humble opinion). The same reasoning applies to the page deletion. Among other things, you are not answering the real Praxidicae's question, about the two users and the self-promotion. Best -- Superpes15 (talk) 16:30, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
I don't understand how it can be self-promotion. The page doesn't try to sell a product, just informs about an author. I could understand if the votes for my adminiship would be for newly-created accounts, but they come from people that have been editing that Wikipedia before so it shouldn't be any issue, imho. Caro de Segeda (talk) 16:37, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Caro de Segeda, there is no issue with creating an article about a notable subject on a lot of pages. The concern here is that there seems to be decent on-wiki indication that this is an autobiography, which is an issue. It is rather clear that you are User:Chabi and that Chabi is Vincente Costalago. The Wikidata item for Vincente has 38 articles listed, I believe all made by you. The ladwiki article and others make the connection clearer. Do you speak 38 languages? Are you using administrative rights to enforce autobiographical content? Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 17:55, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Caro de Segeda, I noticed you are still editing on other projects without having replied to my question here. These concerns are not limited to this specific request for permissions, and will not go away if you fail to respond. Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 13:04, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
First of all: If you have enough evidence, as you have said, in order to believe that the publications we are talking about are "self-promotion" and "not important enough", fine, then proceed to delete the articles. However, I have found that Arno Langrage article, was edited by eo:Uzanto:ArnoLagrange, and you don't seem to have any issues with that. The article io:Gonçalo Neves was edited by Gonçalo Neves and you don't seem to have a problem with that. It is with this very article in question. Again, I understand that the articles abovementioned are important for the Wikipedias where they were published: Arno Langrage is important in the Esperanto community in the same way as Gonçalo Neves is important for the Ido community. I have already stated that if the article is not important for most Wikipedias where it appears I do understand the logic behind deleting it, and, therefore, I agree to delete them. Now, why delete the article about an main author publishing in Elefen from the Wikipedia in Elefen? Are you deleting the abovementioned articles then because they are "self-promotion"? Or maybe because they are small Wikipedias and the articles are just referred to somebody important to that community you let them do so? Because if you do, then, under the premise that "I am editing an article about myself", you should keep it in the Elefen Wikipedia or, if not, go and delete the other two.
Second: You are asking me for me "real identity". I am sorry but I don't have to answer that question. I repeat myself, if you find in most cases the articles are "irrelevant" or "self-promoting", go ahead. I totally agree with you (even though Praxidicae just went and deleted them instead of following a procedure). If you have "great evidence" that that's the case, go for it. Delete the articles
Third: the articles I am editing have no relation to the point in question, so why are your concerned? What is that you are concerned about?
Please understand, I don't try to be difficult here, and I repeat myself again: if you find that in most cases the article is not important enough for being in most of the Wikipedias, I am fine if you delete it. I understand your point. But not on the Wikipedias were that author is important, specially when the people working there have asked you not do so because then you are not respecting their work. I don't know whether you speak Elefen, but you, not being administrators there, go and delete the article about the main writer in that language under the excuse of "self-promotion". Even in the case it were self-promotion, it is still a small Wikipedia with a small community so, how does it affect you? I have seen articles in the Wikipedias in Catalan and in Basque that are clearly manipulative, clearly not true, and I don't see people doing anything about it. So again, if you find it "irrelevant" for most Wikipedias, go ahead and delete it but I don't believe there is an excuse for the article being deleted from the Wikipedias written in conlangs. Caro de Segeda (talk) 13:42, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Your refusal to answer the question is a problem. You are required by policy pretty much everywhere to be transparent, which doesn't mean you need to out yourself but it does mean that you cannot deceive the community when you hold advanced rights. Why are you using two accounts, @Caro de Segeda? Not to mention that you are using this account to circumvent your block on anwiki, where your other account, Chabi is indefinitely blocked. Praxidicae (talk) 13:45, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Even in the case it were self-promotion, it is still a small Wikipedia with a small community so, how does it affect you?“ – not a statement I would expect from someone requesting sysop rights. -- Johannnes89 (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Then you should be concerned about the two abovementioned cases, right? Caro de Segeda (talk) 13:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
I am sorry but I am not required to give you my personal identity. Also, I am not trying to deceive anyone: I was clear from the beginning: I want the rights to get an important article from the Elefen Wikipedia back because you just deleted it without knowing the relationship between that author and the language that Wikipedia was written in. For you to understand (it is a bit exaggerated but I just try to make the point): deleting the article about that person from the Elefen Wikipedia is just like deleting the article about Shakespeare from the English Wikipedia. Again, I understand if you want to delete it from other Wikipedias (as you are concerned about a possible self-promotion issue about an article that is not very important in other Wikipedias), but from the ones written in conlangs, it shouldn't be deleted as it is an important author in that particular context (and I proved it adding references, not just by stating it).
Again, if you have (as you have stated) proves that it is a case of "self-promotion", please go ahead and delete the articles from the non-conlang Wikipedias. If the article gets delete it from the conlang Wikipedias, then don't forget to delete the other two I mentioned above, because then you risk to be partial, which, I believe the policy is against it, right?
Regarding the right for the Elefen Wikipedia: If you just put the article back, I am fine, I don't need the rights. I haven't tried to deceive anyone here. I want to get them to put that article back. What is more: I have the votes of people that have created articles on the Elefen Wikipedia supporting me. Are you then going against a democratic process? Because this is a problem on small Wikipedias: there are fairly no people working there but the ones that have edited articles there have supported me. Caro de Segeda (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
So @Caro de Segeda:, since there are other possibly problematic pages in various linguistic editions of Wikipedia, do you think there is nothing wrong with your self-promotion? So by asking several projects to translate a biography about you (but not clearly saying it's about you), you think you haven't done anything wrong. But I see that when this was pointed out to you, you replied talking about your work and that you don't accept criticism from those who have fewer years of experience than you. I also agree that transparency was more necessary in these cases (especially talking about two accounts that have administrative rights and that are also used to evade a block)! And no, no one wants to divulge your true identity, but there is clear evidence of the situation! Furthermore, a probable campaign is not a democratic consensus for me, and Wikipedia should be based on unconditional consensus. Superpes15 (talk) 14:11, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
I didn't say "there is nothing wrong with self-promotion", I said that even if it was, there are other cases you don't seem to uncomfortable with (are you going to do something about them?) and also, that, in my own opinion, it is not the same doing so in larger Wikipedias than in a small Wikipedia where the person is important (again, the cases mentioned are two people of importance in their respective communities) because there are not so many people editing it. What I tried to point out was that, in these particular cases, where there are fairly nobody to write the articles, if the author writes an article about himself on the Ido Wikipedia because is an important author in that language, is that bad? Because if there should be an article on any Wikipedia, it should be on that one, right? Do we agree on that?
You are talking about consensus, now please tell me how to do it in a Wikipedia like the Elefen one, where fairly nobody writes on. Is your suggestion to "leave the Wikipedia with no administrator just because there is not enough people"? I don't think it is very fair. Shall we, then, apply exactly the same norms for smaller Wikipedias than for larger ones? Because then there will only be a few Wikipedias, that's it. Again, I totally get Praxicadae point on deleting the article on larger Wikipedias or Wikipedias in minority languages, we totally agree on that, it is the fact the she deleted the article precisely on one of the Wikipedia the article should be in that I am discussing here. Also, there was consensus on the Elefen Wikipedia for me to be an administrator and for Praxidicae to get the article back, are you going to respect that consensus?
Another point, you said asked me whether I don't think is bad for a person to ask another one to translate an article about himself. I don't think it is bad, as the person being asked is totally free to say no. And, what is more, should ArnoLangrage have asked another guy to create an article about him, that wouldn't be self-promotion then. So, in this particular case of the Ligurian Wikipedia, it won't be self-promotion. Right?
Just let me put it clear: I don't mind if you delete the article from the Wikipedias written in natlangs (natural languages). For me the issue comes when the article has been deleted on a Wikipedia where that person is the main author of thhat language literature. This is what I am trying to discuss here. I am totally fine with deleting the article from other places as I understand that it might not be relevant. So under the grounds of the article not be relevant, I totally understant your point and I even agree with you. For me issue is the fact that you have deleted the article from the Elefen Wikipedia.

Murma174@stqwiki

When I asked for adminship, I didn't ask for interface adminship, too. Is it necessary, to start a new voting in this case? I'd be glad, if not. See also: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions/2022-07#Murma174@stqwiki Thanks --Murma174 (talk) 21:14, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

@Murma174 For each user rights change, it's necessary to demonstrate community consensus. For sysop+interface admin, this is commonly done in a single discussion (that is, for SRP-managed requests; wikis with local bureaucrats may have different procedures). However, for that to be possible, the interface admin permission needs to be requested in the discussion when it starts. This is to ensure the community knows what you're asking for, and to ensure that the community agrees.
In this case, it looks the original RfA was only about adminship, not also interface adminship. This means another discussion is needed. Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:58, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Ameisenigel, I see that except for those 9 logged actions they have also made a ns8 edit: d:Special:Diff/1614395925/prev. I am not sure how does the policy go about this? Technically it is neither an administrator nor a bureaucrat, but an interface administrator action, but Vogone basically inherited IA rights from his bureaucrat rights when IA flag was introduced (and when the policy was written that would had been an administrator action). --Base (talk) 12:59, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Yes, one cannot do this without IA (and IA has its own different inactivity policy). I have to admit that the p Ju JuneJune nolicy is not very clear about this, but all admins elected before August 2018 had the ability to receive IA without an additional election (not only bureaucrats). So it is up to you to decide. --Ameisenigel (talk) 13:12, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
It also seems that bureaucrats do not have an inactivity policy per se, it is rather that when they lose admin rights for inactivity, this entails also losing bureaucrat rights. It is worded better in the RfC on this matter, d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Defining_bureaucrats#Inactivity. And as to admin inactivity policy, d:Wikidata:Administrators#Losing_adminship, the threshold is 5 rather than 10 admin or bureaucrat actions. It was changed as per d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Reforming administrator inactivity criteria, but apparently never reflected on d:Wikidata:Bureaucrats. That said I would let someone else to close this to have a second look. --Base (talk) 14:33, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification. So our policy is outdated since seven years and we should probably update it. --Ameisenigel (talk) 15:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
My understanding is that it is 5 and the bureaucrat policy was never updated. But the IA question should be resolved at some point. --Rschen7754 18:03, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Mardetanha@fawikiqoute

He became a bureaucrat and admin in Fawikiquote by no vote from local community, but some FaWikipedians. FaWq is too small to have a bureaucrat at all, Mardetanha is inactive as an admin too. He has brought almost nothing to this project. I been blocked indefinite there on 19 June by another by ex-admin:فرهنگ2016 who referred me for unblock to another admin. There is no "another". I see no any active access-holder there after one month. I suggest removal acces of Mardetanha in Fawikiquote. He has had this access for years, but not active, solved no case, did nothing. There have been cases of privacy violations and vandalism too that he could not stop it. A previously prolific article creator, Chyah, has made every new user there to be considered as her sock. I am sure that the accesses are not supposed to be lifelong in small projects.

Nevertheless with the absence of an active administrator/bureaucrat and there is no another admin there, I request for unblocking me there. I can ask help from FaWikipedia for new admin --Ruwaym (talk) 15:12, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
