Test Wiki:Request for permissions

Request for permissions

You can request administrator, bureaucrat, or other permissions below. You must fulfill the criteria established in the bureaucrat policy to be eligible for bureaucrat permissions. Generally, this means 4 days of being an administrator and having 10 edits total, with exceptions. Interface administrator rights can only be granted by the stewards and are only given to highly trusted users. Non-steward suppressor and abuse filter administrator rights may be requested here, but two stewards must support your request. These rights are only granted to trusted users for non-test reasons. If two stewards do not support your request, please request suppression or abuse filter administrator rights at the community portal. All rights will be removed after 3 months of inactivity. Other Permissions: Bot, translate administrator, interwiki admin, autopatrol, For Steward or System Administrator, a vote should take place on the community portal. Bureaucrats, you can use the userRightsManager gadget to easily handle requests. Please note that you should make a confirmation edit, then link to the diff on the other wiki, when specifying cross-project accounts.

 Support I see no problem with this. X is a trusted user, and adding him to the team would give us more coverage without diminishing privacy or the meaning of suppression. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 Support, trusted user. – 64andtim ^(talk) 17:02, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Can you give a reason why you want the access? LisafBia (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lisa! I am requesting access to Suppression tools to provide different hours of coverage for things that need to be suppressed without compromising user's privacy, as Justa said above. X (talk) 17:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 Support Trusted user. LisafBia (talk) 17:21, 26 January 2024

 Done -- I have known X for a year and have come to know him as someone who can be trusted for this surely sensitive right. Drummingman (talk) 17:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks everyone. Should I be added to the staff email list so I can see requests for suppression? X (talk) 17:31, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Comments will still be accepted due to the early closure until 2 weeks from today. Thanks, Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:42, 26 January 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 Wikimedia VRT. Beforehand I have read Test Wiki:Suppressors, and the privacy policy. Also courtesy pinging @Justarandomamerican: and @Drummingman:. EPIC (talk) 00:14, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Just in case, I have made a confirmation edit on Wikimedia: see here EPIC (talk) 00:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

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! Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello 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. EPIC (talk) 09:34, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Addition: If both stewards choose to approve this, I would suggest also checking that X is not completely against this :) EPIC (talk) 15:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Neutral, leaning oppose. Well qualified on other wikis, but has only had an account here for about a month. Also not sure if we need another but I can be swayed. X (talk) 01:27, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

 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 applied to be a steward on Wikimedia, if he is elected, it could be an advantage in fighting cross-wiki vandalism. Drummingman (talk) 15:42, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

I am also curious how this will turn out. If it is successful, it will likely also take most of EPIC's time. X (talk) 16:23, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
