Proposal to upload higher quality user rights icons

I am proposing to update the user right icons to their higher quality versions. Anybody has opinions or concerns? Thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 23:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Seems fairly uncontroversial, go ahead.   X (talk) 12:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
 Done. – 64andtim (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, much better. X (talk) 23:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Faulty wikilink

On Test Wiki:Bureaucrats, it says "Bureaucrat rights are required for any user seeking to gain system administrator, suppressor, or steward".

However, there seems to be a problem with the "system administrator" wikilink on that page - instead it leads me to Test Wiki:Suppressors. What could be the problem here? I don't know if I exclusively have this issue, or if it is the same for all users. EPIC (talk) 15:07, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Fixed. X (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
 Comment: Also, found the issue; both links had <tvar name=SA> at the beginning. EPIC (talk) 17:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
This fix seems to have removed the MyLanguage variable entirely, I have instead specified another variable. Thanks for the temp fix, Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Name Change Requests

Proposal to delete example user right

I created a Phabricator request. (T89). Saint (talk) 05:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply


Zippybonzo's ban

User:Zippybonzo (testing account)

Should this account perhaps also be unblocked now that the owner is unbanned? Asking as the block is a steward action. EPIC (talk) 18:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Indeed.  Done, Thanks for the notification. Drummingman (talk) 18:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of EPIC for Stewardship

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce a candidate for the Steward tools, EPIC. Already a member of our suppression team and a Wikimedia Steward, I believe he could use the extra tools to combat long-term and cross-wiki abuse, especially where that same abuse is occurring on Wikimedia projects. Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the trust and for the nomination! I have acknowledged it, and will add that I am currently thinking about it, and will come back in a short while for my final decision. EPIC (talk) 11:28, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's my pleasure to introduce you for consideration. Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:33, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: OK, I have been thinking about this for quite a while. I am a little hesitant, considering we do have two active stewards for the moment. But OK, I am here regularly and I do already have CheckUser access on Wikimedia Login Wiki as part of my steward role, and access to other steward tools which are also included in the toolkit here on Test Wiki. So, with some hesitation, but also with pleasure, I accept. EPIC (talk) 13:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Discussion:

  •  Weak support EPIC is quite trusted. But given the active stewards, I don't think a steward is needed for now, but still support. LisafBia (talk) 16:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  •  Support as nom. Justarandomamerican (talk) 13:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I support him becoming a steward. I think he'll do a great job. Piccadilly (My Contribs | Talk to me) 14:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC) copied from talk page by Justarandomamerican (talk)Reply
  •  Oppose. The same comments I left in the NSS request still apply. The user still has a relatively short tenure. Our four current stewards have been active members of the wiki for 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 8 years. EPIC has been a user of TestWiki for around two months. I do not feel that this is near enough time to gain access to our most advanced toolkit, especially checkuser tools. If the user wasn't a Wikimedia steward, I doubt this request would have any chance of succeeding because of all of these reasons. I also have concerns about how active the candidate will be now that they have large responsibilities at Wikimedia. I find it unwise to apply two high level permissions at almost the same time without knowing how much time you will have to fulfill both duties. Lastly, I don't find the reasoning (combat crosswise abuse) to be persuasive because we only have one LTA here, Piccidally, who is currently not fully blocked. For all of these reasons, I am opposed. Best of luck. X (talk + contribs) 14:20, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I do agree with these concerns, and would probably not have applied for this myself (it's also why I was a tiny bit hesitant). In this case one of the stewards had endorsed the request, and I have used some of the steward tools, which is why I accepted. Regarding the activity concern I'm here every now and then and I mostly see this as a side wiki (just like Drummingman is a sysop at nlwiki while being a steward here). EPIC (talk) 16:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  •  Oppose. As it's been said many times before "we do not need another Steward". You are new to this wiki and only just been granted NSS. We have active Stewards that have made a name for themself over the span of multiple years. EPIC has been active for roughly 2 months. Good luck! Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 14:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Neutral, given the supporting/opposing votes happening. You are trusted, but since you're around a couple of months, I decided to remain neutral for these reasons. – 64andtim 🤔 (problem?) 22:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Quite honestly, there's a perfect balance of argument strength between support and oppose; both sides have a point. This is likely to be closed as no consensus to promote. I think the lack of history on this specific wiki can be forgiven due to them being a Wikimedia Steward, but others may not think the same.Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Discussion on a potential username policy

What does everyone think of this? Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Looks good, but we could add a list of what is and what is not allowed, and could use some better formatting. Also, we have a filter that warns users creating accounts with misleading usernames. – 64andtim 🤔 (problem?) 05:15, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
List is  done. Any suggestions for formatting? Justarandomamerican (talk) 14:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rename request from 64andtim to Codename Norte

I am requesting a rename from 64andtim to Codename Norte, and 64andsomeone to Códigonombre Alguien to match the same usernames on Wikimedia; these usernames also look better. Thank you. – 64andtim 🤔 (problem?) 18:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Done. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rename Request: Piccadilly to Fullegente

Hi, I would like my name to be changed to Fullegente, as that is the name I use in several online games and some other online communities. This will be my last rename request here, as I am aware that I have changed my name a few times here already. Thank you! Piccadilly (My Contribs | Talk to me) 12:19, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Oppose That username was used by a LTA on EnWiki and then locked for XWiki abuse, see [1], presumably you, since you claim to be Skiyomi who is WMF Banned. You don't need to change your name again. Seawolf35 (talk) 15:33, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I did use that name on Wikimedia (and yes I am Skiyomi), but I'm not sure what my status there has to do with matters here. As long as I behave myself here, I don't think that's relevant. And like I said, this will be my last rename request here. Piccadilly (My Contribs | Talk to me) 15:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Neutral due to Seawolf35's concern, but as long as you don't violate your one-strike rule, no issues here. Codename Norte 🤔 talk 16:33, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
