:Adding to the above, you appear to be trying to replicate the procedure used on a different wiki at UserWiki:Sourav Halder, while this is fine in abstract it would be better if you created your own test accounts (clearly marked as such) and tested on those instead. Since it's the userspace of a long departed and blocked user I'll leave it alone for now since testing there isn't really harmful, but please do use your own test accounts in the future, thank you.

== Nominations (steward, sysadmin, etc.) == | |||
First I'd like to say that I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I wish I did have more time to help other people out. That said best practice with nominations is usually to reach out to the user your nominating to see if their up for it before doing so. Culture varies wiki-by-wiki and there may be some where it is acceptable, or even normal to nominate without asking first but not in the majority of ones I'm familiar with. | |||
So I'd like to reiterate something I said earlier which is to slow down, read a lot, and get a feel for the local culture before diving into internal things you haven't done before (i.e. outside of mainspace). There is a saying on the internet applicable not just to wikis but online communities in general that goes "Lurk moar, it's ever enough" not literally true of course, but the basic idea is accurate and having a solid grasp of the local cultural norms will go a long way towards helping you cooperate well with others whatever website you're on. | |||
In that same vein, maybe you can be a a little less aggressive in archiving things; this is a slow moving wiki, it may take up to 30 days for everyone to drop by and see something on the community portal and the "Main Page error?" discussion was not resolved in full, I won't unarchive anything in this case since that discussion is redundant to one taking place on [[Talk:Main Page]] and the only other recent discussions were resolved, but in the future just try to keep that sort of thing in mind, it almost never hurts whenever your unsure to ask others how they feel about something and go from there. | |||
Anyway, I know all your actions were made in good-faith and you're trying to help out; one of the wonderful things about wikis is that they're very forgiving of mistakes since almost nothing is truly irreversible, so it's not a big deal I withdrew the nom, took me all of 60 seconds nothing to worry about. So have fun, don't be afraid to ask for help from other users, and if you see a spambot go ahead and block it, Best [[User:Fast|Fast - ZoomZoom]] ([[User talk:Fast|talk]]) 20:35, 7 December 2020 (UTC) | |||
