Consensus in favor of extending the (non-steward/sysadmin) inactivity period to 3 months. — Arcversin (talk) 22:58, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

---

Instead of having your access to the admin tools after 1 month goes by without activity, why not just have it be 3 months instead? I'd say that 1 month is a bit too short, and I'm not sure how one month would be enough of a reason. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:51, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk · contribs) Being honest, revocation of an advanced permission after 1 month just seems too short, and I'd recommend at least 3 months, as it's usually fair, in terms of how we all operate on the Public Test Wiki on Miraheze. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 13:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Should the policy be updated now?

Seeing as this has majority support, should one of the bureaucrats update the policy to reflect the new time? Or do we have to get a Steward's approval for policy changes? Sei (My changes here | Drop me a line) 14:11, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Maybe it's their test account. Also, I don't know why being indefinitely blocked on Wikipedia or globally locked on Wikimedia matters here. My Wikimedia account is globally locked and blocked indefinitely on English Wikipedia, but as long as people behave here, I think they should be welcome here.

@Seiyena: I don't think is a test account because he had requested administrator rights, while the test accounts don't need to be requested. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a sockpuppet issue. It's better steward see the issue and let our know if he needs CheckUser. AlPaD (talk) 07:41, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

I saw it again and maybe I was wrong. In the Chinese Wikipedia there are daily blocked for sockpuppetry and 想舞花 was banned from the Wikimedia foundation while 七海娜娜米 wasn't.

It would actually be page_id != 702, since this is an equality check. Also, it's generally good practice to surround any negation that isn't a single function with parentheses, like so: !('x' in y) — Arcversin (talk) 01:05, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

@Seiyena: I am willing to give out the block, on condition that:

1. You agree not to evade your block using sockpuppets.
2. You agree to be hard-blocked (i.e. with autoblock enabled).

NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 10:51, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

You have now been blocked. Enjoy your break. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 11:25, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Any thoughts on this proposed change to filter 88?

Right now filter 88 is set to simply disallow the action that is trying to be performed. Given the number of recent triggers to that filter, maybe that should be changed to instead issue a 3-day block any time the filter is triggered as well as remove from any special groups like admin or bureaucrat. I think that might make it more effective at its job and also not cause it to be triggered so much. This proposal would need a steward's help to implement if it's approved since it involves adding restricted actions. But I do think this might be beneficial to the target of the filter.

Any thoughts on whether this is a good or bad idea? Sei (My changes here | Drop me a line) 12:50, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I see no problem if there are at least two non-steward users who can modify that filter. Oligarchy is not really a nice way to work, especially in wikis. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 17:55, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposed amendment to Test Wiki:Bots

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Both proposals fail. No clear consensus. MacFan4000 ^{(Talk Contribs)} 22:44, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

---

Proposal

It is proposed that Test Wiki:Bots be amended as described at the policy page. The bot flag must not be granted by non-test administrators on Test Wiki permanently. Requests for permanent/indefinite bot flags should be made at Test Wiki:Bot approval requests. Requests should articulate the described particulars, at minimum. Bureaucrats may grant themselves the bot temporarily, for no more than twenty-four (24) hours, provided they state a clear and valid reason in their log summary. Dmehus (talk) 23:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Rationale:

• Provides for consistent approval of indefinitely/permanently-granted bot flags;
• Ensures bureaucrats and administrators are transparently disclosing all edits and log actions; and,
• Provides overall clarity.

Support

•  Support I agree with it. Though I don't oppose it, #Counter-proposal seems bit complicated to me.
  • Still, I'm confused about 1 sentence. "The bot flag must not be granted by non-test administrators on Test Wiki permanently". "non-test administrators" means steward, correct? Must not steward grant permanent bot flag? I'm not good at English, so I may have mistranslated that(I'm terribly sorry if so), but could you recheck that sentence, please?--Q8j (talk) 08:00, 2 May 2022 (UTC) Modify.

Oppose

•  Oppose –CrazyFisherman (talk) 20:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC) isn't necessary at all

Counter-proposal

As an alternative to the above primary proposal, the primary proposal is adopted except the bot flag is restricted technically to being granted by stewards and a new pseudobot or flood group is created for temporary uses, which may be granted by bureaucrats along the same terms as the primary propose. Dmehus (talk) 23:05, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Note: It is possible for you to support both the primary and counter-proposals and for both to pass.

Support

•  Support creation of the flood user group and  Oppose restricting the bot group to steward-only. However, I also  Support disallowing bureaucrats from granting themself bot (or flood) indefinitely unless they promises to revoke it after a short while (less than 24 hours, after which another crat may revoke the flag(s)). NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 03:40, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

  By the way, presuming flood consists of only one rights, bot, an admin-flooder will be able to do everything a bot can, apart from preventing notification when marking an edit as minor (minornotalk). NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 03:46, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

  • #Seiyena_8, you granted admin again despite steward's prohibition.
• Considering these facts, I have to conclude you used permission carelessly. Thus, I can't support this - not yet, at least. Sorry.
• Also, although I don't think you're obliged to do that, I expect steward to enable 2FA.--Q8j (talk) 10:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Request for steward's action regarding 想舞花

I'm requesting stewards(@MacFan4000, Dmehus) to;

1. Endorse blocking, permission revocation
2. Revoke 想舞花(and S871)'s permissions

Reason for request

Abuse of bot account, and 想舞花's permission. Talk-reject.

Facts

• User:S871bot is the bot account owned by User:想舞花(Special:Redirect/logid/30040)
  • User:S871 is also 想舞花's account(Special:Redirect/31206)
• At Test Wiki:Request permissions#Seiyena(permalink), Seiyena requested admin/BC rights.
  • LisafBia put that on hold to get steward's approval.
  • I found Dmehus(Miraheze) said "no objection" and proposed to shorten holding time to 48 hours.
  • 想舞花 granted admin before that time expires.
• Only 10 minutes after that, 想舞花 archived the section(Archive11).
  • Seiyena had question, but she asked that on archive page.
• I felt he/she archived too early given that the matter is still ongoing and controversial. So I reverted archiving and explained that at User talk:想舞花(Special:Diff/22648).
• 想舞花 made same edits using S871bot(it had bot flag).
• I believed that this is clearly abuse of bot account. About a month ago, Arcversin told him not to make non-bot actions(Special:PermaLink/21783#Your usage of the bot flag). So I revoked bot's permission and blocked the bot(with autoblock disabled). I notified that on User talk:想舞花 and asked him/her not to revert the action(Special:Diff/22652/22656).
• 想舞花 refused to explain reasons for bot account's action(Special:PermaLink/22690#Archiving RFP, Special:PermaLink/22696#i will not abuse my bot.)
• 想舞花 removed #Archiving RFP section saying "不回答任何关于机器人的问题，如果你有机器人的问题，请发送信息给User:S871，谢谢！", removed blocking for bot and regranted admin, bot rights saying "Situation resolved".

--Q8j (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Maybe just blocking the bot account and disallowing the use of it for awhile would help. I don't think the main account should be sanctioned yet. If they were to have issues when they were allowed to use the bot account again, then perhaps the block for the main account would be warranted.

Stewardship request for Q8j

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Q8j is thanked for their interest in putting their name forward as a Steward. There seems to be a general trend towards consensus that the user is active and perhaps trusted, though only two users have expressed a few to the latter and another user has characterized Q8j as seeming to be "responsible" and other users haven't explicitly stated those views (though it may well be implied). We must be cautious in reading too much into what people have said, or not said, though, so it is best to take their views at face value (i.e., that which is explicitly stated). There are three neutral views, which aren't express support views and their arguments tend to echo NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh's opposing view that there may not be much, if any, need for an additional Steward. Indeed, looking at the historical renames, sixteen (16) users have had been renamed in the past six or seven years since Test Wiki was created. That's an average of two renames per year. Assuming MacFan4000 and I each take one rename and assuming the historical average pattern repeats itself, that's one rename apiece in 2022. In terms of problematic users, we have one good-faith user who is being managed through an abuse filter and one persistent LTA (Andyyeung), who we seem to be managing. There was one more support from Seiyena, and their argument largely echos AlPaD's and Trayfel's argument that Q8j is active but makes no mention was to the apparent need. Indeed, by Q8j's own admission, they are chiefly active with permissions requests. I'm in the process of creating a Steward-granted abusefilter-maintainer non-test group on Test Wiki, so we could potentially explore a Steward granted senior-bureaucrat group that would have the ability to grant interface administrator permissions to trusted users under strict Steward defined conditions, potentially. The final support was unsigned and thus procedurally invalid. On a strict nosecount, that's four supports, two of which were weaker arguments, one oppose, and three neutrals, all of which echo the opposing view. So, in short, no consensus. Dmehus (talk) 04:39, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I'd like to request for steward permission.

When we(BC) need steward's action, decision or approval, we send notification to stewards like "@MacFan4000 and @Dmehus". But sometimes their response can take some time.

It can't be helped, given that there are only 2 stewards and they don't(of course, aren't obligated to) check this site frequently.

I frequently check this site and notifications, so I think I can shorten response time.

Of course, I'll be careful when I decide something or use permission as steward.

Thank you for your consideration.--Q8j (talk) 07:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Also so we agree on what should be done if filter 88 is triggered again and it involves problematic language. I'm hoping that if the active admins and bureaucrats can come to an agreement here, we don't have to get the stewards involved unless absolutely necessary.

While this proposal is open (which will be around a week I'm thinking), I will not be requesting any rights, even minor ones

Proposal 1: We use the proposal 3PPYB6 mentioned on the permissions request page:

"adminship and cratship will be re-granted via a bureaucrat-by-bureaucrat discussion in which we will determine your worthiness of the rights. If you trigger filter 88 deliberately (note that this is different from a false positive), your adminship and cratship will be revoked until bureaucrats can further decide on whether or not you still deserve the rights.

If we can prove that time and time again you have triggered filter 88 with intention and in bad faith, you will be sent to the community portal where you will face the stewards. They will figure out what to do next."

Proposal 2: I can have minor rights for 2 weeks, such as patroller and researcher, after which I can request admin and bureaucrat and any single bureaucrat can grant in their discretion

Proposal 3: As per Trayfel and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh's statements on the request page, I am required to refrain from requesting any permissions until someone decides to give them to me.

Proposal 4: Regarding filter 88 triggers, if they contain problematic language, I propose that I am given one and only one reminder about my actions. If it happens again, then I am blocked for up to a week, but I don't lose any rights. (I have found that even admins can't remove blocks on themselves if they were placed by someone else.)

Anyone is free to add their own proposals as well.

I hope this all makes sense, I just am hoping that by most of the people agreeing on how to handle my permissions here, we can refer to the consensus here if any questions arise. Seiyena (My Contribs | Talk to me) 20:17, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

  I personally don't like that attitude of you speaking as if the problem is someone else's. So far you have shown no real, honest intention of behaving appropriately, nor even keeping promises.

  Did I disagree with Dmehus when he decided to unblock you and treat you like a baby? Yes, I did. Did I, as requested by him, assume good faith from you? Yes, I also did. Have I ran out of patience? Yes, I have. Have I, among others, repeatedly warned you not to do something just to see you trying to play around that limit? Yes, I, or we, have.

  I don't mind you, or anyone, creating some nonsensical pages – this is a test wiki after all. We are here to test things out without worrying about the system or being blocked, not just to play this hierachical bureaucrat & admin game by using permissions we never have on actual, productive wikis. That being said, I do disagree with this change by Chrs/Arcversin. However, it doesn't mean you can continue your You-Know-What behaviour, nor can you keep promising and proposing things that you will eventually try to ignore.

  What's the point of all of this, if someone can just grant you adminship and then noone else will dare to revoke it? I oppose all of this. You are not in the position of someone who can make proposals regarding sanctions, especially on yourself.

I'm sorry. I didn't think I was making myself look bad by proposing this. I thought it would help us all be clear on how to handle any issues that might arise with me.
