Administrator access

CX Zoom@piwikipedia

I use administrator permission to do general maintenance tasks on pi.wikipedia. I twice had admin privileges for 3 & 6 months respectively, both of which expired automatically. The request is open since 18 December, and advertised at the top of all community discussion pages. Thank you! —‍CX Zoom (A/अ/অ) (let's talk|contribs) 16:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2024-01-01. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

QRNKS@kaawikipedia

(non-steward comment) @QRNKS: It is good seeing you here and want to help out. As you said on top, I agree with you, everyone makes spelling errors. But that's not the case, anyway, can you say something about your block on tkwiki. Thank you. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 10:56, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
(non-steward comment) I had a question. There are many spelling mistakes in the article. If there is an administrator who writes this article, who will correct the mistakes of others. The article is not an encyclopedic article. PirjanovNurlan (talk) 14:10, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
This was pointed out above, I have written about it in detail. QRNKS (talk) 17:11, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
@Tumbuka Arch I am now unblocked, up until this point I was blocked on the tk wiki project as a spam member made a change I shouldn't have made there, but now I can edit make a change on the project as the tkwiki admin warned me about my possibility and unblocked, no restriction QRNKS (talk) 06:47, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Okay great. Good to go then and it is now up to stewards. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 06:56, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
MVR#Temporary_Administrator states, "Any opposition requires a full discussion." There is no effort on that page to discuss the issue. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:46, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
@Amanda (she/her) Hello, as it turned out the temp admin figuring out that the spelling errors are not intentional, there was no discussion about it he asked the question that wrote the article to discourage. You yourself know what happened on kaawiki, I think you will applaud meticulously. QRNKS (talk) 05:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
@QRNKS What @AmandaNP is trying to say here is that on your wiki, if anyone has an "oppose" to a discussion, that "oppose" need to be discussed completely (thoroughly) before moving to another action or step. Also, try to use simple English for easy communication. Tumbuka Arch 17:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Yes, that is what I was trying to say. I was not able to understand what QRNKS was saying. -- Amanda (she/her) 18:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
@AmandaNP Hello, it’s been going on for so long, this objection is not suitable for discussion, because this is not a sharp reason, a spelling mistake, I indicated this above that I switched from Cyrillic to Latin, created one article that was written in the old version and not in the new letter version , if you think this is a sharp reason to discuss, I have been editing for a long time, since I registered in August, I started working from my account, if this is not an argument, then you can remove this request from me, I do not discuss because I do not want a conf . an article that I wrote a single accuses of a spelling mistake, other articles of even a specific source do not have that proving significance. We don't seem to live in reality. QRNKS (talk) 18:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
@PirjanovNurlan: Can you confirm this is an oppose based on a one-time issue about dialects? I sadly can't translate your comment. -- Amanda (she/her) 20:09, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
@AmandaNP try to use Azerbaijani to en.
However, the sensible translation is:
"Peace be upon you. There are some errors in your sentences especially in spellings. For that, you cannot be the administrator of Karakalpaksh wikipedia."
@PirjanovNurlan is this translation correct or you meant something else other than this? Tumbuka Arch 21:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
@AmandaNP Translation here, comments denial - (your three word so many spelling errors, I would not want such an administrator to be our wikipedia). QRNKS (talk) 03:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
If you agree with the rejection, and see a sharp reason for that I should not be the administrator for this wikipedia, then you can delete this request. Thank you for the lengthy conversation. QRNKS (talk) 03:36, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
@QRNKS I don't understand this, on your talk page you mentioned that you studied Russian at school, but here you mentioned that you are switching from Cyrillic to Latin. PirjanovNurlan (talk) 03:53, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
And this is exactly what I didn't want. This is not a page for a discussion of the canidate, it's for stewards to validate consensus. Given
  1. The complete non-answer here to my question
  2. Seemingly that the issue is spelling/dialects which even I have issues with in english
  3. That the oppose vote is translated by someone knowledgable about the language but not involved in the project
  4. I don't want a repeat of the circular arguments that happened here a week ago

I am going to find there is consensus to promote for 3 months. That said, be advised that next time, opposition needs to be discussed on the local project. Also, ultimatums of either agree with my request or delete it are not acceptable. Finally, do not come to the stewards to resolve your problems as the first step. You need to talk it out on your project with local editors. -- Amanda (she/her) 10:47, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

There is sufficient consensus for this user to have temporary adminship for antivandalism purposes on Wikibooks. Could a steward grant temp-admin on this user for three months?

BHARATHESHA [email protected]

Our Tulu community requested a new administrator, and they nominated me for it. I am more eager to accept it. Dear global wiki administrators: I am an active member of the Karavali Wikimedian User Group and a Tulu Wikipedia editor. Now Tulu Wikipedia is growing, and it needs more administrators to support new users. I'm in a good relationship with community members and an administrator, and there are so many things to do on Tulu Wikipedia. On December 28, 2022, the voting began, with 16 users in favour and none opposed. Thanks in advance. - BHARATHESHA ALASANDEMAJALU (talk) 17:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Sakura emad@tiwiki

hello i have requested 3 months adminship on the project. i would like to closely monitor the wiki for 3 months with admin rights thanks.🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 18:43, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

I'd like to ask if you can speak the language and are a contributor there. And you don't need the local admin bit to monitor there. --Sotiale (talk) 12:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
@Sotiale: i can understand the language, and for technical things so i can directly work on them instead asking GS do that for me. i believe that i should have the right for 3 months. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
Comment Comment the sysop permission is for local community members. You are not a member of the local community. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
i can become a local community member at any time possible. besides it's a small community and not active enough; i just need admin rights for 3 months only to monitor and work on certain areas, i believe it's not a big deal. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
@Sotiale reminder :) 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 00:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Basically, the user who will receive the local admin bit must be a contributor there unless there are special circumstances. The purpose for wiki monitoring is abstract, hard to see as a contributor at the time you asked for this, and doesn't convince me that this is a special case. This is my view, and I'd like to pass this up to another steward for another chance to be considered. --Sotiale (talk) 09:29, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
(non-steward comment) @Sakura emad: With only 17 edits on a wiki that you want to be a sysop, it doesn't convince much. It is also not clear whether you speak the language or not, as you have only created one article there (as at the time I am writing this). Small wikis need a sysop, true, but then that sysop should know the language and be part of that local community. Otherwise, you won't know whether a user is adding gibberish or is making a constructive edit there, when you spot one. :) --Tumbuka Arch 15:39, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
@Tumbuka Arch thank you for the interest. i think i never mentioned how much edits i made on the project while i requested the permission, my purpose was to do some technical works there and monitor the wiki. i've mentioned above that i can understand the language, i can become a community member whenever possible. i've only requested it for 3 months not a big deal? 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Please do not get us wrong, we are happy that you understand the language and that you are willing to assist the community. But we also have the community of Global sysops to fulfill the role you speak of. At this time, I'm going to mark this Not done. If you do make more regular edits, in time, I could see an adminship request. -- Amanda (she/her) 22:48, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

 On hold Hello @Tumbuka Arch: You shall enable (and keep enabled thereafter) two-factor authentication on your account to gain interface administrator access, as this is required by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Hi, I am requesting admin access to hif Wikipedia as there are many pages that are outdated and non-relevant name pages and need to be fixed, also there are many missing templates and because of that, there are many pages with errors. This wiki has two admins and currently only one is active, as all admins are working in different time zones (up to 12hrs difference) so sometimes it is challenging to keep an eye on vandalism or to take speedy actions if required, thanks -- Suyash Dwivedi (talk) 16:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Not done This needs to be done on local village pump and remain open for 7 days before being filed here. Once it meets those conditions, feel free to rerequest. -- Amanda (she/her) 01:02, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Interface administrator access

I'm Alison (talk · contribs) - admin and bureaucrat on the Irish Wikipedia. I'm currently working on the Scots Wikipedia on rebuilding their main page, and adding features, templates, gadget and Mediawiki localization, local js and css, etc. I've done this before on gawiki as well as gvwiki, and know my way around the inner workings of Mediawiki reasonably well.

There is no bureaucrat over on scowiki, three local admins, and nobody who can edit the interface. There are no local policies in place regarding elevated privileges, admin ship, etc. I'm requesting;

please remove sysop permissions per local inactivity policy he has fewer than 65 administrative actions in 6 months . Ibrahim.ID 05:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

The policy says: "no admin action in 6 months". 65 administrative actions are more than nothing. Ruslik (talk) 20:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
@Ruslik0: That's not true. The policy says "The sysop user must do more than sixty-five (65) administrative actions in 6 months." and he did only 62, so his sysop flag should be removed. Thanks.--Faisal talk 21:11, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Warko@eswiki

Although Warko recently had an increased activity while editing on Wikipedia, our local policy is clear about inactivity. Having fewer than 50 administrative actions (46 in total) in the last two years is a reason to remove both administrator and bureaucrat rights. --Stïnger (会話) 22:31, 28 December 2022 (UTC).

Comment Comment @Stïnger I see exactly 50 admin actions in the last 2 years (46 "ordinary" admin actions plus four moves with "suppress redirect" enabled: [2] [3] [4] [5]). The policy is not very clear on whether suppressing redirects constitutes a sysop action. Considering that only eswiki sysops [and bots] can suppress redirects, I lean towards counting those to the admin actions limit. Posting this as a comment for now – in case this question (is suppressredirect a sysop action?) was discussed locally, I'd appreciate having a link to that discussion. Sincerely, Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:35, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Comment Comment @Martin Urbanec: Yes, I see only sysops and bots can suppressredirect, but despite of that, currently the local policy is not mentioning suppressredirect officially as an admin action, see the official list, so if it's not listed in the policy that part seems to be unclear. I will try to find if there's a local discussion about suppressredirect. Greetings, --Stïnger (会話) 20:45, 29 December 2022 (UTC).
FYI, I couldn't find any discussion about this, so I've opened one. --Stïnger (会話) 21:42, 29 December 2022 (UTC).
Thanks for starting it. Please let us know if it reaches any conclusion on that question. Leaving the request opened in the meanwhile. Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:33, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 On hold until 7 Jan 2023 @ 1300 UTC or that a community discussion is fruitful enough. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Comment Comment Since eswiki is one of my homewikis I shall abstain. However es:Wikipedia:Bibliotecarios#Retirada_del_permiso_por_inactividad is clear in that "Se entenderá como acción administrativa a toda tarea que requiera el permiso de bibliotecario" which means that an administrative action is any task for which administrator permissions are required. The only autoritative list of actions for which administrator tools are required is es:Special:ListGroupRights#sysop. Considering that suppressredirect is assigned only to bots and administrators, I'd say Warko is not inactive with the Spanish-language Wikipedia current policy. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 16:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Cycn@nlwiki

(Local crat). The regelingen rond moderatoren states: Verder dient de moderator te zorgen voor een geldige gebruikerspagina en een geldig e-mailadres. Wanneer hieraan niet wordt voldaan dan wordt de moderator in de gelegenheid gesteld hieraan alsnog te voldoen. Wanneer niet binnen 14 dagen aan het verzoek is voldaan, wordt de moderatorstatus ontnomen. (Translation: Furthermore, the moderator must provide a valid user page and a valid e-mail address. If these are not met, the moderator will be given the opportunity to do so. If the request is not met within 14 days, the moderator status will be revoked.) Cycn does not have their mailfunction enabled. We have tried to convince this administrator to enable their mailfunction since September last year, see here. This is even more of a grace period of 14 days than local policy requires. We tried everything as we could to persuade this user to arrange a working wikimailfuction and recommended to contact T&S since they claim they lost acces to the emailaccount connected to their account, but they did not follow up on this. As such I have no other option than to request the removal of their admin-rights. Since this admin is otherwise in good standing I'll allow for a grace period to the end of this month, if they resolve the issue I will reinstate the sysop tools.

Mohanad Kh@arwikibooks

Temporary Importer, Needed for importing migrated wikibooks content from another sister project Mohanad Kh Talk 21:37, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Comment Comment The Arabic Wikipedia community (which includes all active members of the Arabic Sister Projects at the time) agreed (on 17 January 2019) that any discussion/nomination/policy involving the Arabic Sister Projects should be brought up on this page, in order to notify the community, as there are no active communities on these projects. The policy states "Any discussion/nominations in sister projects must be announced in Sister project village pump, and any discussion that has not been announced on it, it's summary is unofficial". Since the announcement of this policy until now, all of discussion/nomination/policy it is announced in this village (Please see Archives). But I can't found any link of above nomination on previous mentioned village. (I'm commenting as a sysop in Arabic Wikibooks). Best --Alaa :)..! 10:42, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Thx @Alaa for comment, I really respect that, but correct me if I'm wrong, this consensus will be mandatory, if it's approved and documented in these projects as mini-policy or guideline (or even as discussion consensus), which didn't happen actually, except that, it has no any consideration (Just an objective point-of-view ) --Mohanad Kh Talk 16:00, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
Please, notify the community as suggested above and allow the discussion to run for a week. Ruslik (talk) 20:16, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
@Ruslik0 I don't really understand, I already did that (I mean ar.wikibooks community), so that's actually weird and confusing. Let's suppose that the same users community have the same discussion on en.wikipedia, and they have agreed on the same consensus, but you have to notify them on some en.wikipedia page, should I do it there also? Is that a common thing? And all that happens without any policy or guideline terms on those projects?!Note To be honest with you, I don't really care about request as much as I care about answer to this question, cause it will change my view literally and make me thinking twice about developing sister projects --Mohanad Kh Talk 21:34, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
Note: I mean those users community agreed on some wikimedia space and that's enough, they don't need to document this consensus on every related project to be official. --Mohanad Kh Talk 22:10, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
