{{Discussion top|Unsuccessful, the stewards cope with their duties. [[User:Kazrok4545|Kazrok4545]] ([[User talk:Kazrok4545|talk]]) 01:55, 10 May 2020 (UTC)}}
After several months of working in the test wiki and other projects, I realized that I can help. Of course, I am not the best participant, some project participants are even better than me in many ways, but I wanted to help this wiki specifically to reduce abuse and other important things. So, I ask you to grant me the steward. I promise that I will not abuse this right in any case. I try to help where my help is really needed. At first I thought of going to the system administrator to help the wiki, but first I wanted to let the community and the administration itself trust in my words. I am familiar with Git, SSH, extension installation systems, database updates without command line access, and other very important things in MediaWiki. Of course, if you don't need my help in this wiki, then you can leave it at that.

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 <code>editsitecss</code> and <code>editsitejs</code> 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 <code>editinterface</code> but not full bureaucrat. Thank you.

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)Reply[reply]

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.
