Name change request
Good afternoon, @MacFan4000: & @Dmehus:.
I am requesting my Test Wiki username to be changed to Sav to closely reflect my personal name as Trayfel has no correlation to me.
Regards, Trayfel • ( Edits | Talk ) 13:52, 8 June 2022 (UTC).
- @MacFan4000: & @Dmehus: - Can this be done, please? Trayfel • ( Edits | Talk ) 19:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, a few days ago I had uploaded a screenshot I had taken of a porn site as a test of the upload function. I do admit that image was questionable and I probably should have used better judgement before deciding to upload it. However, I will not upload any images like that ever again and will continue to be clean in all my other tests here. May I please have my admin privileges back (they were revoked due to this situation)? Seiyena (My Contribs | Talk to me) 00:32, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
On hold - Considering this situation occurred this day, I do not feel you are ready. Can 2 other 'crats and/or a Steward please voice their opinion on this. Trayfel • ( Edits | Talk ) 00:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

- I have also modified AF#88 so as to prevent future uploads, if any. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh (talk) 01:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

- I don't trust her. And it's not matter of time. How many times do we have to be betrayed trust we put on her? I won't trust her unless she proves she changed, and again, it's not matter of time.
- Since she's "Steward-managed" case and we can't make "community block"(even if we could, she would evade blocking anyway, as she did here), I'm not inclined to be involved in her anymore. If steward think she should be granted permission, then they can do it as their responsibility. If she causes any trouble, then steward should take care of it as their responsibility. After all, she's "Steward-managed" user, isn't she?
- I think further RFP request shouldn't be handled. But since "I'm not inclined to be involved in her", I don't insist. If steward/community decides otherwise, then it's fine.--Q8j (talk) 01:49, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
So if I ask for admin or bureaucrat, only a steward should handle those requests? Seiyena (My Contribs | Talk to me) 13:42, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Due to continued misuse of tools and ignoring of people, I have decided to apply an indefinite block. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 15:26, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you Mac, much appreciated. Trayfel • ( Edits | Talk ) 18:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Template:Discussionbottom

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.
- No consensus and insufficient participation to form consensus. While there are sound reasons for this to be added, this seems to be a bit of putting the proverbial cart before the horse. In other words, until we have clear bot approval criteria, how do we enforce this, which is what I suspect Chrs means by this (at least in part). Dmehus (talk) 23:47, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
Proposal
I propose that this template be added to every Bot account that is created.
This would be in line with Wikipedia's bot shutoff template. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 20:00, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Rationale:
- Provides Administrators & 'crats with a simple way to block a malfunctioning bot account.
Support
Neutral/Abstain
Oppose
Oppose While such templates can be helpful, I don't see a compelling need to enforce this as policy. — Chrs (talk) 04:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Stewardship request (LisafBia)
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
- A good-faith request by LisafBia for Stewardship; however, as several participants have noted, they are not sufficiently satisified as to LisafBia's reason for requesting Stewardship and, by extension of the same token, to there not being a sufficient need. Given that the only other participant, Matttest, who asked questions but has not yet expressed a view either way, is now CheckUser blocked for abusing multiple accounts in a duplicitous manner, this is unlikely to be successful. Dmehus (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, there are few stewards on the wiki, I want to help the wiki, please vote! LisafBia (talk) 12:14, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Support
Oppose
Oppose You have not given a plausible reason for you wanting Stewardship. I believe, in my honest opinion, we do not need another Steward. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 15:04, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Sav: There are few stewards on the wiki and I want to be able to help this wiki, I know the policies. LisafBia (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- @LisafBia: You have still not given reasoning for your request for stewardship. Saying things like "I want to be able to help this wiki, I know the policies" does not convince me you are suitable for Stewardship. I will not be changing my vote, you are not suitable for the rights in my opinion. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 06:26, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Oppose No use case was presented to my question/comment, and this wiki is not in urgent need of more stewards, who have extremely advanced permissions. The ability to help out with the wiki is already granted to sysops and bureaucrats, while being test permissions, have broad authority to take non-test action.

Comment
Comment: and Question: Stewards have highly advanced permissions such as access to a user's IP and previously suppressed edits, along with the ability to suppress edits. Do you specifically need those highly advanced permissions for a particular use case? Or do you simply wish to help out? Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:35, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Justarandomamerican: I would prefer to use those powers only when needed. LisafBia (talk) 10:15, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- In what situation will you use the CheckUser tools? What's the purpose of CheckUser? --Matttest (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- With the bureaucrat rights, you can already execute lpts of non-test actions. Which exact areas are you going to help out as a steward? --Matttest (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Technical question
Hello! On August 25th, I had undo the vandalism from a vandalism-only account. I deleted the pages it created with Special:Nuke. But I noticed in a CheckUser I did on myself for testing this week that at that moment the IP address changed automatically. Why did this happen? AlPaD (talk) 18:46, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
