{{Ping|MacFan4000}} I would want to say that LisafBia, the two stewards (Drummingman and Justarandomamerican), and I, indicate that I voted, and all votes are oppose (formerly my vote was a neutral, but changed to oppose regarding most people's concerns). MacFan4000, you may have to close as unsuccessful. {{Ping|Justman10000}} If you have any further questions regarding this or want to vote on yourself, please state your questions below the votes in the "Questions by the candidate" section or take place of your vote here before MacFan4000 is closing it.

*{{Oppose|Weak Oppose}} Hi, thanks for volunteering. Unfortunately, I must weakly oppose your request at this time due to lack of necessary trust or track record. I do not think you would take the site down, abuse your power in some other way, or go inactive suddenly, but you do not hold Stewardship here or administratorship elsewhere, and you don't have that long of a track record, so I cannot be sure. Consider this a moral support of sorts; I have no objection to another run in the medium-term future.

*{{oppose}} Hi, nice that you signed up and want to get more involved, I can only appreciate that. But unfortunately, here and for this reason, I want to cast my dissenting vote. I am very reluctant to assign this role to someone I don't know well. Anyway, are you already a system administrator, steward or admin on a major wiki project somewhere? On a Wikimedia, Miraheze or other large wikifarm. On these wikis, you become one only after a thorough review and vote. To me, that is a hard requirement for a system administrator. SA has the unlimited power to shut down an entire wiki (database lock and unlock) block anyone and deny or grant anyone user rights. Therefore, this right can only be granted to highly trusted users. Of course, this is separate from the technical side, which is also important. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 17:48, 2 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
*:Of course, yes, I agree. I absolutely vote and agree on {{Oppose}} but I gave the very strong oppose, biggest, strongest, ever. [[User:Tailsultimatefan3891|Tailsultimatefan3891]] ([[User talk:Tailsultimatefan3891|talk]]) 01:13, 3 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
*{{oppose|Strongly oppose}} It doesn't make much sense to give a user who has been a member for less than 1 month a higher level of authority than even the stewards such as the system administrator. You need to have 3 or more months of activity history. [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 18:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC) |
|||
*:Nowhere does it say anything about that... So... And is it so difficult to give someone a chance? It's not really motivating [[User:Justman10000|Justman10000]] ([[User talk:Justman10000|talk]]) 18:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC) |

*{{oppose|Strongly, very strong, extreme, intense, super, mega, kilo, peta, peta, tera, tera, mega, mega, very strong, strongly, bigger, longer, and absolute oppose that is the biggest, longest, and strongest oppose that I will ever give}} Seriously?!? This user has no long history, new to this wiki, despite knowing PHP, SSH, and Git and needs more experience with Apache and a server (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, SQLite). System administrator is a very powerful right, even more than interface administrator and especially intended to be more powerful than regular stewards, including grant or revocate anyone user rights, disable OAuth for a user, locking the database and have access to PHP, site-sensitive files, SSH, and Git as well as the server such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite and Apache. They'll have access to DefaultSettings.php, LocalSettings.php, and NoLocalSettings.php. This right is extremely powerful. I hope this will be absolutely rejected. You'll hear no complaints from me.

===Questions by the candidate=== |

What is actually so damn hard to understand about the sentence, ''It would be really nice to get a chance''? If you're only ever rejected, there comes a day when you don't want to do anything anywhere! Just give it a damn chance and let someone prove themselves... Is that so hard? |
|||
It is the unlimited power, yes! But that way I could have proved myself directly! It's extremely unmotivating to first have to do what I know how many weeks or even months of preparatory work, only to probably be rejected again! --[[User:Justman10000|Justman10000]] ([[User talk:Justman10000|talk]]) 05:06, 3 June 2024 (UTC) |

Should inactivity for [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter administrators|AFAs]] be measured in regular terms, or should it be measured by the last time an abuse filter was modified by an AFA, or perhaps even the last time a filter was modified to use a restricted action or a restricted filter was modified?

Hello. I've been a Steward for around a solid year. I've also been involved in the behind the scenes technical stuff such as Phorge/Phabricator and GitHub for a while, writing requests and pull requests. I have basic technical knowledge as described in [[Test Wiki:System administrators]]. I think having an extra system administrator would speed things along on Phabricator, along with ensuring that there's a backup when MacFan4000 is busy. Feel free to ask any questions.

Hi. I've been doing some translations lately and was wondering which variant of Chinese to translate to. Currently most pages are translated into regional dialects, such as zh-cn and zh-tw. What I think would be better is to translate only into zh-hans (simplified Chinese) and zh-hant (traditional Chinese) in order to reduce redundancy, as all Chinese dialects use one of the two character systems. Any thoughts? <span style="font-family:monospace;">'''<nowiki>'''[[</nowiki>[[User:CanonNi]]<nowiki>]]'''</nowiki>'''</span> ([[User talk:CanonNi|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CanonNi|contribs]]) 10:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC) |

<br>I request a vote on the following proposal: When a bot is created, [<nowiki/>[User:Sav/Templates/Emergency-user-block|this]] template could be automatically added to their user page. The process would check for accounts with the 'bot' permission and confirm whether or not the user page has content. If it does, the template would be placed at the top; if it doesn’t, the template would be placed regardless. The template is a quick and easy way to block bot accouts that may not be functioning properly. Thank you for your consideration.

:I'm sure you can become one someday. Right now, it's your track record here on Test Wiki people are worried about, because you haven't been on here for all that long. All of our Stewards have had months to years of history here before becoming stewards, and there are no current non-founder sysadmins.

:I'd like to clarify that this is a test wiki, which means that anyone can experiment with MediaWiki functionality here. Within this space, users can request various permissions except for sys admin and steward, specifically for testing purposes. Sys admin and steward rights are crucial for the smooth operation of this wiki and are not intended for testing purposes. Steward rights are granted to users who invest significant time here, and the community trusts their judgment for sensitive actions. Similarly, the system admin right is not given out for testing; it's essential for maintaining the wiki's smooth functioning. At the moment, we have one sys admin diligently fulfilling their duties. Should the need arise, the community or founder can nominate trusted and technically proficient users to take up the sys admin role. I hope this clarifies things.

==Grace periods== |
||
One of my pet peeves is that people are establishing the grace period for users' rights too early. People should wait a little longer to do it so that the day of the new grace period and expiration date are close to each other. Thus, I might revert the grace period that was added to [[User:London|London]]'s rights earlier today, despite the expiration date being entirely correct, but too far from today. But, with grace periods (PLUS CORRECTIONS) comes an [[Special:Log/rights|extremely clogged log]] so likely I won't this time. |
|||
{{discussion bottom}} |
|||
Now that I think about it, I will probably retire from doing grace periods soon (most likely today), and I will try notifying users about their rights differently, via their talk pages two weeks before supposedly But this idea isn't final.

I propose that the following section be added to the inactivity policy: "Grace periods are an optional way of enforcing this policy. Grace periods involve making the inactive user's rights expire in 2 weeks when they would have otherwise been removed in 2 weeks. It adds extra notification to the inactive user, who can always change their rights back."

Since my work is neither recognised or even accepted of, and also because no one wants to give me a chance, I feel compelled to stop my work here...

Just like we have a disqualification section in bureaucrat policy why don’t we have a steward policy that covers how does the rights of stewards and non-steward suppressor are removed.I have noticed that some users with advanced rights i.e, steward and NSS remain inactive most of the time and come by once to make some little changes or perform actions once in 1-2 months so they can retain their rights. For example EPIC Who is a Wikimedia steward and hold administrator right at Swedish Wikipedia, I think he’s a bit busy that he can actively contribute to this project and same goes with Doug a.k.a. Dmehus who is semi active at Miraheze and really inactive at this project.Additionally X has been active for past few days. With this in mind I think we definitely need a way where the community can remove such advanced rights from the users through voting. Such a resolution can be taken place when at least one or more steward and or 5 or more Crats are supporting that proposals.This way we can hold the users accountable for misuses also [[User:TheAstorPastor|<span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#8B0000; text-shadow:gray 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">The AP </span>]] ([[User talk:TheAstorPastor|<span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#AA336A">''talk''</span>]]) 14:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC) |

::'''Reasons for Removal''' |
|||
::The rights for stewards and NSS can be removed only under two circumstances: |
|||
::1.) Misuse of Rights: Any actions taken by a steward or NSS that are deemed as a misuse of their powers. |
|||
::2.) Inactivity: A period of inactivity that is less than that specified in the inactivity policy. |
|||
::'''Initiating a Resolution''' |
|||
::To initiate the removal of rights, a resolution must be started at the community portal. The specific requirements for starting such a resolution are as follows: |
|||
::For Stewards: The resolution must be supported by at least 2 stewards and/or 5 bureaucrats. |
|||
::For NSS: The resolution must be supported by at least 1 steward and/or 1 NSS and/or 4 bureaucrats. |
|||
::'''Discussion and Voting Period''' |
|||
::Once a resolution is initiated: |
|||
::''Discussion Period'': The discussion must last for a minimum of 14 days and can extend up to a maximum of 30 days. This period allows for a thorough and reflective conversation among community members. |
|||
::''Voting Period'': Voting will commence after one week of discussion. |
|||
::'''Voting Requirements''' |
|||
::In order to vote in the redesign, the user must have bureaucratic rights and have made 50 edits since acquiring admin rights |
|||
::'''To ensure the removal of rights:''' |
|||
::For Stewards: At least '''80%''' of the votes must support the removal. |
|||
::For NSS: At least '''70'''% of the votes must support the removal.

UserRightsManager
The name of the userRightsManager gadget has changed, so some users may have the tick turned off. It may be necessary to re-enable it in the preferences. LisafBia (talk) 13:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- We encourage bureaucrats, if you have last edited before June 2024, to re-enable its preferences. This user supports this decision. Tailsultimatefan3891 talklogscontribs 20:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Inactivity for AFAs
Should inactivity for AFAs be measured in regular terms, or should it be measured by the last time an abuse filter was modified by an AFA, or perhaps even the last time a filter was modified to use a restricted action or a restricted filter was modified? I'd like to know consensus on this before I go and modify the inactivity policy. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- I would choose when the last time some AFA modified a regular abuse filter (without restricted actions). Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 02:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- We don't have a bot for it yet? That checks for inactivity? Justman10000 (talk) 16:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nope. It's a manual process. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Would be at least 3 months at least I can suggest. Tailsultimatefan3891 talkcontribs 12:46, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Nope. It's a manual process. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Abuse Filter Manager is less security-sensitive than Interface Administrator, which is entirely within Steward purview and generally accepted of at least 30 days of inactivity within relevant areas.
- I would suggest the 3 month time limit proposed by Tailsultimatefan3891 is sufficient, but would add that it would be activity within Special:AbuseFilter, not any wiki activity. Dmehus (talk) 18:56, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- However, if it is determined that an abuse filter admin made their latest active action editing an abuse filter, also an bureaucrat, and administrator, and inactive for at least 3 months regardless of abuse filter activity or wiki activity, then all rights would be revocated. Tailsultimatefan3891 talklogscontribs 20:29, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm Support with 3 months AlPaD (talk) 20:34, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fair point, Tailsultimatefan3891, but I'd still favour codifying that is limited activity within the AbuseFilter space, as we could eventually subsequently amend the inactivity requirements for Bureaucrat and/or Administrator to, say, 6 months (I'd probably favour keeping Bureaucrat at 3 months and increase Administrator to 6 months, though). Also, while unlikely, it's possible someone may only request the AbuseFilter Manager permission. Dmehus (talk) 23:49, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm saying to increase steward inactivity to 9 months, because you said to increase Administrator to 6 months. Also, System administrator rights can be re-granted within 6 hours of revocation due to inactivity, and steward rights can be re-granted within 24 hours of revocation due to inactivity. Tailsultimatefan3891 talklogscontribs 13:12, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Steward activity is currently set at 12 months, though. I think that's fair. System Administrator used to have either no inactivity limit or a 12 month limit. I think it should have an inactivity limit, but 12 months is fair.
- Administrator - 6 months
- Bureaucrat - 3-6 months (I support either, but maybe prefer 3 months)
- Steward - 12 months
- System Administrator - 12 months
- Interface Administrator - it's a steward-granted user group, so steward discretion applies, but generally speaking, the convention has been for 30 days of activity requiring the permission in MediaWiki or User namespace (i.e., other than their own userspace) Dmehus (talk) 18:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Doug and TUF, I believe this would best be another discussion on a new thread, given that we've already come to a consensus on AFA inactivity (3 months of no abuse filter related activity). Justarandomamerican (talk) 19:30, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm saying to increase steward inactivity to 9 months, because you said to increase Administrator to 6 months. Also, System administrator rights can be re-granted within 6 hours of revocation due to inactivity, and steward rights can be re-granted within 24 hours of revocation due to inactivity.

Translations into Chinese
Hi. I've been doing some translations lately and was wondering which variant of Chinese to translate to. Currently most pages are translated into regional dialects, such as zh-cn and zh-tw. What I think would be better is to translate only into zh-hans (simplified Chinese) and zh-hant (traditional Chinese) in order to reduce redundancy, as all Chinese dialects use one of the two character systems. Any thoughts? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well I think you should translate into the more popular dialect The AP (talk) 12:01, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, I think that we should only do the two main variants of Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). Regional dialects complicate things.. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- I lightly and honestly will oppose reducing the variants of Chinese. Tailsultimatefan3891 talklogscontribs 21:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- For what reason? Regional dialects can be broken down into the two main dialects of Chinese. Justarandomamerican (talk) 20:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- For some reason, variants of Chinese may be spoken may be many people, such as some people may speak a partial of Traditional and Simplified Chinese, they are multiple dialects of Chinese, 3 dialects of Chinese may be said by a person while others speak mainly only 1 dialect.

Community Vote
Done per consensus below, now moved to Template:Emergency-bot-block. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 07:29, 31 July 2024 (UTC) |
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I request a vote on the following proposal: When a bot is created, [[User:Sav/Templates/Emergency-user-block|this]] template could be automatically added to their user page. The process would check for accounts with the 'bot' permission and confirm whether or not the user page has content. If it does, the template would be placed at the top; if it doesn’t, the template would be placed regardless. The template is a quick and easy way to block bot accouts that may not be functioning properly. Thank you for your consideration. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 15:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Justarandomamerican
- You could try modifying the LanguageStatsSpecialPage.php file at line 84, where the cache assignment occurs, to handle the cache object
- if ($cache instanceof Wikimedia\ObjectCache\BagOStuff) {
- $this->cache = $cache;
- } else {
- // Handle error or set default cache.

- But before that, check if the translation extension is compatible with the the MW version because of now-translation extension >= 1.42.0 The AP (talk) 17:24, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose We currently have 4 Stewards, with 2 being active (Justarandomamerican & Drummingman). Alongside this, your reasoning of Let's face it, there is simply nothing or hardly anything left for me to do and I rather could prove myself as steward than as bureaucrat! does not reflect a clear understanding of the Steward role. Instead, it suggests an interest in hat collecting, rather than having a clear understand of what a Steward does. Good luck with your request! Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 09:17, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- As I wrote below, no steward, nothing to do! Justman10000 (talk) 11:21, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

- There is plenty to do without having the steward tools. You can continue to translate pages into German, which is of great importance. Test Wiki is multilingual, and your efforts are valued as a translator. You can fight the occasional vandalism and spam that comes through. Beyond non-test actions, you can also keep testing the admin and bureaucrat tools! See what you can do with them. Justarandomamerican (talk) 13:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Grace periods
One of my pet peeves is that people are establishing the grace period for users' rights too early. People should wait a little longer to do it so that the day of the new grace period and expiration date are close to each other. Thus, I might revert the grace period that was added to London's rights earlier today, despite the expiration date being entirely correct, but too far from today. But, with grace periods (PLUS CORRECTIONS) comes an extremely clogged log so likely I won't this time.
Now that I think about it, I will probably retire from doing grace periods soon (most likely today), and I will try notifying users about their rights differently, via their talk pages two weeks before supposedly But this idea isn't final. Tsukushi (talk) 21:02, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- We've had this system for a while and it's both fair and useful. No reverts should be made unless a Steward agrees with the decision, as up until now there have been no issues. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 01:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think we should add a section to the inactivity policy about grace periods (how long they should be, when they should be set, etc.) I don't think we should retire the practice, as it's quite useful to both bureaucrats and users having their rights removed. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
On second thought, never mind. I going to stick with the practice as I still enjoy doing/using it. And about the inactivity policy, I agree. Tsukushi (talk) 16:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
RFC: Adding a section to the inactivity policy on grace periods
I propose that the following section be added to the inactivity policy: "Grace periods are an optional way of enforcing this policy. Grace periods involve making the inactive user's rights expire in 2 weeks when they would have otherwise been removed in 2 weeks. It adds extra notification to the inactive user, who can always change their rights back." Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support: This explains it all. Tsukushi (talk) 00:19, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi.Everyone, I've keeping on here a proposal of RequestSolver using on the permission page and community portal for marking request manually as done, not done, already done and on hold.etc, I've feel happy if known to what think about this proposal of others users for this proposal.Happy testing ---kítєrєtѕu•[@píng mє] 05:50, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Retirement
Since my work is neither recognised or even accepted of, and also because no one wants to give me a chance, I feel compelled to stop my work here... As system administrator, I could have done a lot of work... However, since I was already rejected there and told to become a steward first... So I wanted to do this, and?
PS: If I really wanted to harm this project, I would have done it long ago! Justman10000 (talk) 17:31, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
