| | | == UserRightsManager == |
| ==Merry Christmas!== | | 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 [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|the preferences]]. [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 13:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC) |
| Merry Christmas to all those here at The Test Wiki.

| Have a wonderful day and all the best for 2024!

| ==userRightsManager gadget is broken==
| |
| I tried to approve a user's permission request with the userRightsManager gadget and found that the gadget is not working properly. Can the interface administrators fix this issue? [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 19:07, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

| ==Request for Supressor right==
| |
| I request oversight rights from our community for 2 days. I will only use it for testing and I promise not to compromise anyone's privacy. [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 21:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :{{not done}} as suppressor is not a test right and will not be given to those who are not stewards or community elected non-steward suppressors, for obvious privacy concerns. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| ::One question: as the suppressor right isn't a test right, is the non-steward suppressor right also a non-test right? – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 20:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| :::Indeed. And therefore it is not meant to be tested. It is meant only for serious suppression.
| |
| :::The user right is not intended as a test flag like most roles here. It is intended only for serious suppression. System administrator, steward, checkuser, suppressor and non-steward suppressor are emphatically not test roles.

| ==My IA right==

| |
| | |
| I thought I was ready to go. But I guess I feel like staying longer considering I've worked so hard on keeping this wiki organized, and I have left some things that have yet to look completed. Can somebody grant me my rights back, please? Thank you! [[User:Username|Username]] ([[User talk:Username|talk]]) 21:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :{{re|Username}} I have granted you back the crat and admin rights. A steward will have to do the IA bit. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 21:53, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

| ==Proposal to change an abuse filter warning==
| |
| | |
| Hello, everybody.
| |
| | |
| I propose moving [[MediaWiki:Newuser-externallinks]] to [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-newuser-externallinks]], and changing the text of the filter warning message to something like this:
| |
| | |
| '''Warning:''' An automated filter has identified this edit containing external links. Test Wiki may not be used as a vehicle for promotion, and may result in being blocked from editing. If this edit is constructive, you may click "Publish changes" again to confirm it. If you received this message in error, please inform an [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|administrator]] of what you were trying to do.
| |
| | |
| Any inputs or concerns about this? If there are no objections, I'll be happy to do those changes in a few days. Thanks. – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 18:27, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :As the original creator of the customized warning, I {{support|support}} this change. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 01:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

| | |
| ==RFC: Clarify [[TW:IP|the inactivity policy]] for Non-steward suppressors==
| |
| {{discussion top|{{done|Passes}}. Non-steward suppressors will be held to a 3 month inactivity requirement. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 18:54, 28 January 2024 (UTC)}}
| |
| This is a rather simple proposal. Shall the inactivity policy:
| |
| #Be amended to include a 3 month inactivity period for Non-steward suppressors, | |
| #Be amended to include a 1 year inactivity period for Non-steward suppressors; or
| |
| #Be amended to include another inactivity period for non-steward suppressors?
| |
| [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 17:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :{{support}} 1 as proposer. 3 months seems plenty enough, rather than the 1 year inactivity period granted to Stewards and Sysadmins. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 17:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

| ==Another proposal to import Edit filter warning template==
| |
| | |
| I was thinking if I could import the Edit filter warning template from the English Wikipedia, but leave out the report error since there is no edit filter false positive page on Test Wiki. Any inputs, concerns or objections?
| |
| | |
| When triggering an abuse filter, it shows a red box with text; maybe we could add that proposed template under the name "Abuse filter warning", and protect it under an appropriate protection as a high-risk template? Thank you. – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 18:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :We can also redirect people to here (the community portal) to report false positives, or to contact an administrator directly. I think having some form of template would make things easier, so no objections. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 18:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| ::One more question: is bureaucrat protection appropriate when protecting a high-risk template? – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 18:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| :::In this case, it would be, since the template would be used in the interface, and not protecting it as such would allow users without the edit interface right to edit the interface. You can use discretion when protecting pages. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 18:12, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| ::::Fine by me! [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 18:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| :::::Since there are no objections, I'll implement them, but do we keep the report error button that can redirect here to the community portal or not? – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 15:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| ::::::Yes, you can redirect it to the community portal. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 15:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| :{{done}}, but it took a little bit of trial and error for the url to actually work. – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 16:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

| ==Mobile edit==
| |
| | |
| Does anyone have an idea why [[Special:Diff/35138|this]] and [[Special:Diff/35122|this]] was marked as mobile web edits, considering that I am on a computer? [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 19:10, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :That is weird, never heard of that happening before. Were you using mobile view when making the edits? [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:21, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| :It's possible you switched to mobile view and didn't realize it, like X said above. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 19:25, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| ::I was using the normal desktop view, but checking e.g. [[Special:Contributions/FuzzyBot|FuzzyBot]], it seems to be the same for some of those edits as well. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 19:26, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
| |
| :::As far as I know, FuzzyBot uses the same tags as the edit/log entry that was made to cause it to perform an action. I'm not sure what could have caused that software-wise. {{ping|MacFan4000}} Not urgent at all, but this is an odd technical situation.
