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)

 Support Very trusted user. AlPaD (talk) 19:32, 5 February 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: As a trusted and well-known user within the Test Wiki space, I believe I am qualified to be the next Non-steward suppressor. I believe being granted Non-steward suppressor would help X and the Steward team with lessening the load of work they may have to do in the future. As I live in the UK, I would be able to actively provide suppressions without compromising privacy. Please feel free to ask questions below. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 21:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Sav! One question that I assume the stewards will ask is this: Do you feel there is sufficient need for another NSS, given that we currently have three active and one pending application? X (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, X. As stated, this RfP is for Non-steward suppressor. I shall assume that is what you meant. I do feel there is sufficient need for another Non-steward suppressor due to the fact that having those with said rights from multiple timezones, is better than having a few all in the same. Regards, Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 23:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that is what I mean't. facepalm. X (talk) 23:38, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification, X. My above statement remains valid then. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 23:46, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Just a quick question: Will you take long hiatuses in the future? Thanks, Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Justarandomamerican. I do not plan or see myself taking a long hiatus in the near future. As of now, I plan to be active. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 00:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't think we need a new non steward supressor. LisafBia (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @LisafBia:. Can you elaborate on why you think The Test Wiki doesn't need a new non steward supressor? As far as I know, there is only 1 and that is X. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 15:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Considering that the Stewards also have Supress authority, there are 5 suppressors in total and most of them are active. Therefore we don't need a new supressor. LisafBia (talk) 15:25, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
