Stewards,
Please rename me to X.


Thanks,
I would like to be a system administrator so that I can also support at system configuration level... In addition to managing permissions, I would also keep the software, extensions and skins up to date and optimise the configurations!

== Drummingman for stewardship ==
====Support====


I notice that the stewards of this wiki are busy in real life. Steward requests like 'usernames renames' have to wait a long time. I think that is why there is a need for a third steward. Meanwhile, I became an admin on [https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=63242835#Drummingman_(2) nlwiki] a big Wikipedia site six months ago and gained quite a bit of experience there. I have experience with revdel requests and already know well when suppression is appropriate. As for checkuser, I have little experience with it - testing with it is also not really possible because of privacy. I would use it only when it is really necessary; think of situations like [[User_talk:Tailsultimatefan3891#Blocked|this]]. I would like to help the stewards manage the site and help where needed. Furthermore, I hope for your trust?

*{{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)
*{{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)

===Neutral===
*'''Neutral'''. I agree that there is a high need and that you are definitely a qualified candidate, but I don't think you're active enough. For example, you haven't granted a permissions request in ~3 months and you have only 45 edits in the past 3 months. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

*:::Thanks for your opinion and volunteering. 45 edits in 3 months on this small test wiki is still quite a lot, most users, especially bureaucrats and stewards don't make it. :-) For the rest, you are always free to make your own considerations. Greeting, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 21:06, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
*::::I disagree. I would consider myself semi-active on this wiki and I have over 300 edits in the past 3 months. I wish you luck in your request for stewardship. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 23:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 
===Questions===
1. How will you treat people when you are elected as Steward?
:'''R:''' Thank you for your questions. I will treat people as kindly and politely as I have so far. And offer any explanation and help if they ask. Until proven otherwise, I will assume [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume good faith]] as much as possible. Because Test Wiki is, after all, a test wiki, for administrators tools. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 18:34, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 
2.  What information do you think you should hide when you use supressor powers? [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 17:49, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
:'''R:''' I will only use it in situations such as, removing personal information, copyright infringement, serious personal attacks or other grossly offensive material, as also indicated [[Test_Wiki:Suppress|here]]. Furthermore, I will use my common sense and handle it carefully. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 18:34, 15 May 2023 (UTC)   
 
3. Do you hold any non-test rights on any other wikis? [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 17:24, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
:'''R:''' Dear X, I am an [https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speciaal:Gebruikersrechten&uselang=en&user=Drummingman administrator] on the Dutch Wikipedia. In addition, I have several other [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Drummingman (global) rights] on Wikimedia. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 18:27, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 
4. Do you think Seyiena should be unblocked? (See below thread) and why?
:'''R:''' Seiyena is a difficult case, she has caused quite a bit of disruption cross-wiki, besides, she has already had many opportunities on this Test Wiki. I am taking a neutral stance on it. Should it be decided that she may be unblocked, this does seem to me to be the very last chance. Anyway, I think one of the current stewards should make the decision, since Dmehus already gave her a chance. To which it can be said that he only opened the talk page for [https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=35209 her]. Then later I closed [https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=35550 it] for [https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Seiyena&diff=prev&oldid=26060 abuse].    [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 19:06, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

== Newest Block Appeal ==
 
Hello, I would like to appeal my block here again, as more time has passed since my last appeal and in that time I have not evaded my Miraheze ban and I haven't been on IRC at all (not that I remember ever being inappropiate there but I just wanted to note that lately I haven't even been online there). In addition, I have been active on another test wiki called For-Test Wiki where I have been very careful to obey all the rules here. I would like to be unblocked here so I can show that I have changed, and I hope that by continued good behavior on various wikis, it will eventually help me in re-entering Miraheze. Thank you for your consideration.

:::In a comment above, Sav, you mentioned that when the stewards or bureaucrats felt I was ready, I can appeal. I can't find anything that says only a steward can decide when I can appeal.

:::I'd also like to note that nowhere was it said that permission for an appeal to simply be posted was required by a Steward, TPA was recently regranted due to the minimal chance of disruption with it, and a genuine interest in improving and appealing.

::*There’s no “clear” stewards decision that “Appealing requires stewards authorization”. MacFan4000’s TPA revocation was lifted by Dmehus, and latest TPA revocation was set by Drummingman, who is bureaucrat. Though I think X should have had discussion to whether to lift TPA block in Drummingman‘s talk or community portal, X’s decision wasn’t clear violation on rules here.
::*Considering her behavior before blocking, her words means almost nothing to me. She did lie, break promises/policies, not just once. Regarding “For-test wiki”, if she has behaved good enough to believe she can do that here then I can consider, but as I don’t know what that is and I couldn’t find it, I can’t take it in consideration. Should anyone provide link, I’ll take a look.
::*As such, I neither support nor oppose this appeal for now. But I strongly believe Dmehus should'''n’t''' decide this without community consensus(cf.[[:w:WP:INVOLVED]]).

Process this block appeal as you want, being sure to still make time for other things. TL;DR: '''Support any way of handling this''', if they are given a (perhaps last) chance at reintegration into the community, as the block does not appear to be preventing much, if any disruption based on behavior elsewhere.

== [[User:X|X]]'s request for stewardship ==
 
Hello All, I am X, an active administrator and bureaucrat on testwiki.wiki. I have been here for a little over 2 months and I believe I can help perform steward actions when they are requested. I think our community needs multiple active stewards at all times and currently we have 0. If the above request for stewardship is successful, then we would have 1. I believe we need a steward team, which is more than 1. I believe I can assist there because when I requested a rename it took over a month because our current stewards are busy on other projects. I have performed all rights requests since my account was created. I have also performed all inactivity removals. Each of these I have performed appropriately. With steward tools, particularly suppression and checkuser, I understand how they work and can use them well. I will use oversight to hide personal information and extreme threats. With checkuser, I will investigate the IPs of accounts and LTA. I have access to both of these tools on another testwiki, [http://fortestwiki.myht.org/index.php/Main_Page For-Test Wiki] (same username). I believe there is a need and, because I am qualified, I thought it correct to apply. Feel free to ask me questions below. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:19, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

*{{oppose}} There is no need for you to have Steward. [[User:Sav|Sav]] • ([[Special:Contribs/Sav|<span style="color:#0080ff"> Edits</span>]] | [[Special:Newsection/User talk:Sav|<span style="color:#0080ff">Talk </span>]]) 12:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
*:[[User:Sav|Sav]], this is a valid !vote, but could you clarify a bit why you feel this way? Similar to my question to Drummingman, is it based on fundamental ''need'' (or lack thereof) for additional stewards, or do you have concerns with regard to the candidate's experience, qualifications, activity level, or commitment level? I've known you for awhile now and I might ''assume'' what you are inferring, but I'm also not a mindreader and that's generally not a good practice. Thanks.

*:I am fine with you opposing, but can you please explain why you don't think there is no need for me to have steward. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 13:14, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
*{{support}}: Sav does not make a convincing argument: By what standard does X not need the Steward tools? There are 2 current stewards, both of which are not reasonably active enough to handle community problems. There is no reason not to trust X: They are competent, helpful, and all around trustworthy. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 12:58, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
*:Lolkikmoddi also does not make a convincing argument, as X is clearly trustworthy, and the time they've been here does not reduce that, especially because they've been here for 3 months. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 14:22, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
*{{Neutral}} -- X is a steward at another wiki and therefore trustworthy. But prefer to vote neutral. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 21:10, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
*:[[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]], you have identified that you feel the user is trustworthy, presumably, at least in part, based on the user holding a presumably comparable position on any wiki, but could you articulate why you are neutral? Is it based on fundamental necessity for additional stewards, or not, do you have some reservations (neutral or otherwise)? [[User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 02:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
*::  The reason is that I also see [https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Euphoria&oldid=26877 edits] on this wiki that I don't expect from a steward. "Copied from talk page". ''Re-instated but changed to 15 day grace period to line up with June 3rd. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 13:16, 19 May 2023 (UTC)'' Reducing an admin period from indefinite to 2 weeks when the 3 months are not yet up, is neither friendly nor polite in my opinion. I had [https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=Test%20Wiki:Community%20portal&diff=prev&oldid=26878 changed] my vote from support to neutral when I saw that. But I don't think it's enough to oppose it because there are too few stewards, I kindly ask X to be more careful in the future. Maybe at a later time I will possibly be willing to support it. But for now, neutral. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 06:29, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
*:::What is wrong with setting grace periods? Their rights will be removed on June 3rd and now I have notified them that their rights have changed. When someone changes your rights, for me at least, I get an email. So by setting a grace period, I am effectively notifying them before their rights will be removed. This has brought multiple users back to activity on multiple Test-wikis. I don’t see a problem with it. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 11:16, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
*{{oppose}} you just passed 3 months, please wait a little more then just one day then asking for stewardship which is very hard to get, maybe a few more weeks then i'll consider supporting  [[User:Lolkikmoddi|Lolkikmoddi]] ([[User talk:Lolkikmoddi|talk]])
*:If I am aware, there isn't a time limit since account creation to become a steward. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 14:26, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
*'''Procedural''' {{support}} as requestor. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 14:44, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

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)Reply[reply]

Systemadministrator

I would like to be a system administrator so that I can also support at system configuration level... In addition to managing permissions, I would also keep the software, extensions and skins up to date and optimise the configurations!

It would be really nice to get a chance 🙂 Justman10000 (talk) 16:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Did you know how to use Git, PHP, and SSH, and you are active on this wiki? Please see Project:System administrators. Also, it would be really nice for you to be a system administrator if you know understanding of Apache and a server (MariaDB/MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite). Tailsultimatefan3891 (talk) 17:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I already work with Linux Debian since 4 years! So yes 🙂 Justman10000 (talk) 17:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Are you aware that this very high trust permission can cause great damage if it's improperly used? Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 17:05, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I am aware of this! Yes Justman10000 (talk) 17:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So, voting by the two stewards and by some users is required. If the votes are successful, then it goes to the system administrator to grant the permission or not. Tailsultimatefan3891 (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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. Justarandomamerican (talk) 17:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Like I said, I'd be happy to get a chance, and if you don't think I would abuse my power (which I wouldn't too), then what's the problem? Justman10000 (talk) 17:44, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    This permission is very powerful, can lock the database and have access to PHP, SSH, Git, and Github and even Apache and the server (MariaDB/MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite). Tailsultimatefan3891 (talk) 17:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    System administratorship is a very powerful position. I prefer to err on the side of caution. Can you describe your previous experience with FiveM and Minecraft servers? Do you have PHP experience? Justarandomamerican (talk) 17:48, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    For the networks, I installed and configured web applications and Minecraft plugins Justman10000 (talk) 17:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  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. Drummingman (talk) 17:48, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  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. LisafBia (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Nowhere does it say anything about that... So... And is it so difficult to give someone a chance? Justman10000 (talk) 18:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
