- Hey, I was trying to understand how crats assign permission for Sysop to other users. I don't think I would ever used the account "IamAuser" for any purpose Harvici (talk) 00:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- You have been unblocked. In the future, please declare alternate accounts used to request permissions or participate in discussions. Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:06, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Excuses if it may have seemed like I accused you too. In addition to Justarandomamerican above though, be aware that in the future, when granting administrative rights to alt accounts, please make it clear that it is a test and should be undone immediately after you are done testing.

Warning - confusing undisclosed alts
Hello. Whilst performing a check on recently created accounts due to a sockpuppeteer recently being reblocked, I discovered that two recently created accounts have an IP-to-IP connection to you. If used to even request permissions without disclosure, these accounts can confuse the community into believing there are 3 separate people, hence why undisclosed alts are not generally allowed on many wikis, including the English Wikipedia, and are de facto prohibited from being created here, unless there is a serious privacy concern. For this reason, a Steward may choose to block you for any future CheckUser confirmed undisclosed alternate accounts, and any Bureaucrat may do so for undisclosed alts that quack like a duck.

Just a note when leaving messages to me
When doing so, you must leave them on my current talk page, and not on my first archive as that page's contents shouldn't be generally edited. Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 17:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Unnecessary edits
Hi, TheAstorPastor,
Please avoid making unnecessary changes to my talk page, like adding and re-adding [[Category:Administrator newsletter's subscriber]].
Thanks! Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 22:32, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi there,
I think is these edits are come under in WP:AGF, but If users are already added in subscribers list of Test Wiki:Newsletters, so, then I don't see any good reason to add this category on subscriber's usertalkpage.
Happy testing ---Infínítybσy7 • [@píng mє] 04:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC) - Hello Sav, I added that category to your user page first and then I realised my mistake and added it to your talk page.I did this so you can receive the newsletter at your talk page since whenever you announce a newsletter, it comes in form of a notification.But I am sorry and I will not make unnecessary changes to page with consulting you. The AP (talk) 06:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I understand what your intentions were, so no bad blood whatsoever. You edited under WP:AGF, so for that I thank you. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 09:44, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- An RfC at the community portal led to the implementation of a new policy outlining the requirements that users must meet in order to request bureaucrat rights.
Technical news
- Following an RfC at the community portal, two new user groups — abusefilter-admin and abusefilter-restricted were created. These rights can only be assigned by following a vote on the community portal and/or at least two stewards supporting it.

Technical news

- Extension:UnusedRedirects has been added, which users can use to grab the list of redirects that aren't used. T105
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the Test Wiki. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T106
Miscellaneous
- The name of the userRightsManager gadget has changed to UserRightsManager, so some users may have the gadget turned off. It may be necessary to re-enable it in the preferences.
