== Blocking ==

Hello, I am considering blocking a user due to a linked WikiMedia user being blocked, They refuse to respond when I ask whether or not they are linked. What do I do?

== Can my name be changed? ==

Hi, I was wondering if there's any way to change my name here to Bugambilia. Thanks! [[User:Marseillaise|Marseillaise]] ([[User talk:Marseillaise|talk]]) 16:36, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to try my candidacy for a steward

What do I do with the steward? Check users for additional accounts before assigning rights. For information:

 I have already created a wiki on my local Denver server, as well as via the PHPdmin database.

 If it is too early, do not feel ashamed.

== Kazrok4545 for Steward ==
{{Discussion top|Unsuccessful, the stewards cope with their duties. [[User:Kazrok4545|Kazrok4545]] ([[User talk:Kazrok4545|talk]]) 01:55, 10 May 2020 (UTC)}}
After several months of working in the test wiki and other projects, I realized that I can help. Of course, I am not the best participant, some project participants are even better than me in many ways, but I wanted to help this wiki specifically to reduce abuse and other important things. So, I ask you to grant me the steward. I promise that I will not abuse this right in any case. I try to help where my help is really needed. At first I thought of going to the system administrator to help the wiki, but first I wanted to let the community and the administration itself trust in my words. I am familiar with Git, SSH, extension installation systems, database updates without command line access, and other very important things in MediaWiki. Of course, if you don't need my help in this wiki, then you can leave it at that.

If you need my global accounts in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Kazrok4545 Wikimedia], please take a look. There I am registered under the same nickname. [[User:Kazrok4545|Kazrok4545]] ([[User talk:Kazrok4545|talk]]) 05:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

== Case for Stewards ==

Page [[User:Qq808ms]] as a wiki page has been deleted. But problem hasn't been solved, because that user had inserted spam into own social profile. Only stewards are able to remove it. [[User:Neonek12|Neonek12]] ([[User talk:Neonek12|talk]]) 19:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

== Hey, i need to change my name. ==

I need to change my name to DarkShadow please.

== editsitecss/js restricted? ==

Hay, I noticed that bureaucrats can no longer add/remove the interface administrator group and that group has been removed from all users. The GitHub commit states that this was done to restrict <code>editsitecss</code> and <code>editsitejs</code> to sysadmins and stewards only. I would like to ask why this decision was made and what the reason behind it is as theas are permissions that an admin/'crat is likely to have on a real wiki and thus is useful to have on here for testing purposes. Also other test wikis still allow 'crats to have this permission, so I don't understand its being removed here. Also if you must restrict those rights, I would suggest removing them from interface admin then re-allowing add/remove of that group for 'crat. That way to group can still be used for testing and rare cases where and admin wants <code>editinterface</code> but not full bureaucrat. Thank you.

== [[Test Wiki:Inactivity Policy]] ==

I'm not sure if I should edit one of the official policies of this wiki myself without asking here first, so: Does this line "A steward or sysadmin will be removed after a year of activity." means what it means or is here a mistake somewhere? [[User:Meiræ|Meiræ]] 18:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

:::Yes, when someone fixes this typo, could the same person also out the links inside tvar tags?

Oversight role?

@MacFan4000 and Void: Do you think it'd be possible to get an oversight role? Seemplez (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Seemplez: I'm just gonna bump in here, but there's no need for it right now. From what I've seen, everything is fine, and the CheckUser right isn't really needed either, the only use for the Steward permission is that it can revoke bureaucrat permissions from a user. BlackWidowMovie0 (talk) 17:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I think we already have both kinds of oversight on this wiki, from google I saw https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/oversight which is revision deletion you should already be able to do the admin kind of revision deletion, there is also the suppress kind, which was done to a few entries a long time ago by MacFan4000, but for that you need to be in the suppress user group and only the stewards can assign that. Fast - ZoomZoom (talk) 18:14, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
If a steward thinks you should have it, and assigns it to you, or you become a steward, then yes. Otherwise, no. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Fast, Justarandomamerican, and BlackWidowMovie0: Thanks. Seemplez (talk) 11:29, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Fast for Steward

Hi, I'd like to nominate @Fast: for Steward. He is trustworthy, is constantly collaborating with users, and is active. He will lead this wiki with @Void and MacFan4000: to make it greater than it already is. BlackWidowMovie0 (talk) 18:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
