Editing Test Wiki talk:Request for permissions

==Sockpuppetry==
Should we check users, who have been blocked, that may create another account... for example, if a guy called "james123" was banned then a nother user called "lolz99" asks for admin, should we check their ip's?-- [[User:JJBullet|<span style="color: teal">'''JJBullet'''</span>]] | [[User talk:JJBullet|<span style="color: maroon">'''Talk To Me'''</span>]] <span style="color:red">💬</span> 18:08, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:Good idea. Hope that’ll be standard. [[User:Brownlowe.2|Brownlowe.2]] ([[User talk:Brownlowe.2|talk]]) 17:38, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

== Outdated info ==

I noticed that some users that have been granted various rights need to be updated because of a ban or unban (etc). Should we get around to updating this? [[User:Brownlowe.2|Brownlowe.2]] ([[User talk:Brownlowe.2|talk]]) 17:48, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
:I might do that before we archive the page. I guess we will see. [[User:KylieInTheSkylie|KylieInTheSkylie]] ([[User talk:KylieInTheSkylie|talk]]) 16:26, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

== What are the requirements? :P  ==

What are the requirements? :P [[User:Abraham236|Abraham236]] ([[User talk:Abraham236|talk]]) 13:34, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
:If you're talking about requirements to be an admin, I don't think there are any. As for bureaucrat, the only requirement is that you already be an admin. [[User:Valkyrie dimension|Valkyrie dimension]] ([[User talk:Valkyrie dimension|talk]]) 17:02, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
:Oh, okay :) [[User:Abraham236|Abraham236]] ([[User talk:Abraham236|talk]]) 23:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

== Can I have my bureaucrat permission back please? ==

What the title says. I would have posted this to the main page but due to some testing I can't. Thanks!

-:Did you block yourself to test? Checking the MediaWiki says people who can block can't block/unblock if the user is blocked. [[User:Abraham236|Abraham236]] ([[User talk:Abraham236|talk]]) 15:27, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
-::I blocked myself from editing some pages here, and then I was messing around with the user rights management and accidentally removed my admin and bureaucrat abilities.

-::um, uhoh, I'm not a bureaucrat so I can't restore your rights :( [[User:Abraham236|Abraham236]] ([[User talk:Abraham236|talk]]) 16:06, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
-::BTW, why did you block yourself? [[User:Abraham236|Abraham236]] ([[User talk:Abraham236|talk]]) 16:31, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
-I was testing the blocking ability of administrators. That's what people do here-test things that admins and bureaucrats can do. Like deleting and protecting pages, and changing user rights and blocking themselves (not other people).

-:Oh, okay. I have a question. Would it be abusing admin power if I unblocked you? [[User:Abraham236|Abraham236]] ([[User talk:Abraham236|talk]]) 21:52, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
-No, it wouldn't be abuse of admin power. I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

-::{{comment}} {{Ping|LisafBia}} - Please elaborate on your question. We would '''never''' lock this page to only be edited by 'crats as it is vital everyone has the ability to voice their opinion, just like the [[Test_Wiki:Community_portal|Community portal]].
