Could we get Twinkle in here?
Hi all,
I was doing Twinkle things and I realized I needed to get Twinkle into the GitHub source code. The source code’s here, and feel free to reply!
Blocking
Hello, I am considering blocking a user due to a linked WikiMedia user being blocked, They refuse to respond when I ask whether or not they are linked. What do I do?
Can my name be changed?
Hi, I was wondering if there's any way to change my name here to Bugambilia. Thanks! Marseillaise (talk) 16:36, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Sourav Halder for Steward
Kazrok4545 for Steward
How do you change your name?
Can bureaucrats change their own names here? I wanted to change to Seranida. Skiyomi Solace (talk) 22:53, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Just adding that I haven't been able to find the page to change my own name, could someone do it for me please? Skiyomi Solace (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- It would be Special:RenameUser, but it is restricted to stewards. You may however request a rename. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 12:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- I see. Then can I please request a rename to Seranida? Thank you! Skiyomi Solace (talk) 18:43, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

checkuser
I wonder if one can checkuser him or herself here. Meta wiki, one of Wikimedia projects, says it can be done on test wiki. --DrizzleD-test (talk) 13:50, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, I know now. Only bureaucrats can do it. --DrizzleD-test (talk) 14:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Case for Stewards
Page User:Qq808ms as a wiki page has been deleted. But problem hasn't been solved, because that user had inserted spam into own social profile. Only stewards are able to remove it. Neonek12 (talk) 19:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Hey, i need to change my name.
I need to change my name to DarkShadow please.
editsitecss/js restricted?
Hay, I noticed that bureaucrats can no longer add/remove the interface administrator group and that group has been removed from all users. The GitHub commit states that this was done to restrict editsitecss and editsitejs to sysadmins and stewards only. I would like to ask why this decision was made and what the reason behind it is as theas are permissions that an admin/'crat is likely to have on a real wiki and thus is useful to have on here for testing purposes. Also other test wikis still allow 'crats to have this permission, so I don't understand its being removed here. Also if you must restrict those rights, I would suggest removing them from interface admin then re-allowing add/remove of that group for 'crat. That way to group can still be used for testing and rare cases where and admin wants editinterface but not full bureaucrat. Thank you. Bonnedav (talk) 08:22, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- @MacFan4000 and Void: See question above. Nieuwsgierige Gebruiker (talk) 08:52, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- Just a bump incase this was not noticed. Thank you. Bonnedav (talk) 07:57, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Test Blocking
Can I test blocking options here ?? How to do that ?? --Emad4ald (talk) 07:03, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I should edit one of the official policies of this wiki myself without asking here first, so: Does this line "A steward or sysadmin will be removed after a year of activity." means what it means or is here a mistake somewhere? Meiræ 18:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Meiræ: I’m not sure what you mean. It is correct; stewards and sysadmins will be removed after a year. --IWI (talk) 12:35, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- @ImprovedWikiImprovment: after a year of activity (as is stated in the policy) or inactivity? Meiræ 19:28, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
