==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?

==Faulty wikilink==
On [[Test Wiki:Bureaucrats]], it says "Bureaucrat rights are required for any user seeking to gain [[<tvar name="SA">Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:System administrators</tvar>|system administrator]], [[<tvar name="SA">Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Suppressors</tvar>|suppressor]], or [[<tvar name="S">Special:MyLanguage/Test Wiki:Stewards</tvar>|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. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 15:07, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

'''Other comments''': Hello there! Might seem odd, but now that our first non-steward suppressor has been chosen, I would like to offer my help and assist as the second one. I'm willing to help with suppression when needed, and I am available/contactable at most times of the day. I go by the same username on the Wikimedia projects, where I am an administrator at two larger wikis, and I have experience with handling sensitive information as a member of the [[meta:VRT|Wikimedia VRT]].

:<del>{{neutral}} Though you are a perfectly qualified candidate, I'd like to see the answer to one question, can you explain the need for another suppressor? There are currently 3 active people who are able to handle suppression. If there's a good need, I'll be supporting, as more than qualified!

::Hello [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]]! There isn't necessarily the need, but it gives additional value, especially since two of the current stewards are less active, and as mentioned a bit further up, also gives different hours of coverage. FYI, my mainly available times are at most hours within the UTC+1 time zone (since I'm quite a night owl) with the exception for the early morning hours, and I regularly check my mail inbox, so I'm able to quickly act when needed. So, I am of course aware that this is not a role for testing, and I hope my answer is sufficient - feel free to ask further questions if needed.

:{{support}} leaning neutral, I don't really have any objections, but think a month is a bit early. I do take note that EPIC has [[meta:Stewards/Elections 2024/Statements/EPIC|applied]] to be a steward on Wikimedia, if he is elected, it could be an advantage in fighting cross-wiki vandalism.

::I will see how it goes, but I hope to be able to split my activity between different wikis like I've been able to so far, and I should be able to work it out - and if not, I would of course be removed for inactivity per Test Wiki policy.

Steward-defined suppression practices seems to have only worked in the past when only stewards and sysadmins had access to the tool, but it seems to only lead to inner confusion now that non-Stewards can have access to the bit. Therefore, there needs to be a set of clearly defined suppression criteria. Perhaps we could base these off [https://www.thetestwiki.org/wiki/The_Test_Wiki:Suppression_policy The Test Wiki]?

'''Other comments''': As a trusted and well-known user within the Test Wiki space, I believe I am qualified to be the next Non-steward suppressor. I believe being granted Non-steward suppressor would help X and the Steward team with lessening the load of work they may have to do in the future.

::Hello, X. As stated, this RfP is for Non-steward suppressor. I shall assume that is what you meant.

For context, this user was banned by the community for cross-wiki abuse on a wiki whose owner has apparently engaged in a deception campaign against their own volunteers: "The ban is not required as firstly, I don't think that actions on other wikis require blocks/bans everywhere, and secondly, the owner of said wiki was found to be abusing on their wiki and deceiving their own stewards.

::Hi Sav. As a former steward and checker on Filmpedia, I can confirm that Cocopuff is behind all of the socking on his own wiki. He has a history of doing so on Miraheze as well.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce a candidate for the Steward tools, [[User:EPIC|EPIC]].

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.

*{{o}}. 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.

*: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).

With the ability of any Steward to use CheckUser, a year is much too long for one to be inactive. Therefore, I propose the following: 1.

==Discussion on a [[User:Harvici/Signatures|potential Signature policy]]==

As there is a discussion on a potential username policy, I thought this would be the perfect time to get through [[User:Harvici/Signatures|a potential signature policy]].
