==Remove 2FA for Peterxy12==

My device was lost, so can you help me remove my 2FA? [[User:Peterxy12|Peterxy12]] ([[User talk:Peterxy12|talk]]) 13:50, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

==Confirmation on another wiki no longer needed for bureaucrat rights==

For transparency, as per steward discussion, the requirement to confirm your account on another wiki before obtaining bureaucrat rights is no longer necessary. Reviewing bureaucrats/stewards may still ask requesting users for confirmation in cases where it may be useful. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 06:44, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

==FYI==

I'll be temporarily importing a few hundred English-Wikipedia pages to test an enwiki bot. I'll nuke them when I'm done. Thanks – [[User:Test94944|Test94944]] ([[User talk:Test94944|talk]]) 16:50, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

==Stewardship for ThunderPups*==

{{Discussion top|No chance of passing, especially when you have a history of abusing multiple accounts. [[User:MacFan4000|MacFan4000]] ^{([[User talk:MacFan4000|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/MacFan4000|Contribs]])} 04:56, 7 November 2025 (UTC)}}

The strongest reason I want to become a steward on the Test Wiki is to

contribute to the technical quality assurance and stability of the entire platform by safely testing new software and administrative tools before they impact millions of live users. [[User:ThunderPups*|ThunderPups*]] ([[User talk:ThunderPups*|talk]]) 22:26, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

==Add the bureaucrat permissions to the steward toolset?==

For transparency purposes and because stewards are highly trusted, I propose that we add most, if not all of the user rights from the bureaucrat permission and place them into the steward toolset, but we still retain the bureaucrat permission for non-stewards.

:What purpose does it serve? Can you elaborate?

::Given that stewards are considered the non-test administrators on this wiki (similarly, bureaucrats have some access to non-test user rights), and that stewards can also modify abuse filters with restricted actions (same goes for abuse filter administrator[s]), I think it would be reasonable to also include the bureaucrat user rights in the steward user group (and retain the bureaucrat user group for non-stewards). For example, on the English Wikibooks (where I'm an administrator), that project's administrators had the reviewer (<code>editor</code>) user group in addition to <code>sysop</code>, which was redundant given that administrators over there can review edits and pages.

==[[Template:Permissions granted]]==

Hello, Test Wiki community! I recently made a template that merges "Template:Administrator"/"Bureaucrat"/"Interface administrator granted" all in one. It has a parameter that can be followed by a value, and each one contains a different message that serves as a response to successful requests. I was wondering if we can use this template, replacing the aforementioned ones in the userRightsManager gadget, going forward? [[User:Username|Username]] ([[User talk:Username|talk]]) 04:55, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

:I was thinking if a shorter name like Template:Granted would make things concise, since the "permissions" part would be implied anyways. Then one could do something like <nowiki>{{granted|admin}}</nowiki>. Neat idea to combine all the templates into one, though! <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-weight:bold;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px cyan">[[User:Tester|Tester]]</span> ([[User_talk:Tester|ᴛ]]•[[Special:Contributions/Tester|ᴄ]]) 17:46, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks! And yes, I strongly agree with the new template name you specified and your reasons for it. Thus, I will proceed with that name. [[User:Username|Username]] ([[User talk:Username|talk]]) 20:57, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
