Proposal to upload higher quality user rights icons

I am proposing to update the user right icons to their higher quality versions. Anybody has opinions or concerns? Thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 23:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seems fairly uncontroversial, go ahead.   X (talk) 12:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Done. – 64andtim (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you, much better. X (talk) 23:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Faulty wikilink

On Test Wiki:Bureaucrats, it says "Bureaucrat rights are required for any user seeking to gain system administrator, suppressor, or steward".

However, there seems to be a problem with the "system administrator" wikilink on that page - instead it leads me to Test Wiki:Suppressors. What could be the problem here? I don't know if I exclusively have this issue, or if it is the same for all users. EPIC (talk) 15:07, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Fixed. X (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment: Also, found the issue; both links had <tvar name=SA> at the beginning. EPIC (talk) 17:47, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This fix seems to have removed the MyLanguage variable entirely, I have instead specified another variable. Thanks for the temp fix, Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Zippybonzo's ban

User:Zippybonzo (testing account)

Should this account perhaps also be unblocked now that the owner is unbanned? Asking as the block is a steward action. EPIC (talk) 18:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Indeed.  Done, Thanks for the notification. Drummingman (talk) 18:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Discussion on a potential username policy

What does everyone think of this? Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Looks good, but we could add a list of what is and what is not allowed, and could use some better formatting. Also, we have a filter that warns users creating accounts with misleading usernames. – 64andtim 🤔 (problem?) 05:15, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
List is  done. Any suggestions for formatting? Justarandomamerican (talk) 14:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've fixed the formatting up a bit based on intuition. Any other suggestions? Justarandomamerican (talk) 02:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
LGTM X (talk + contribs) 02:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have made a change that does not allow "Usernames that contain any non-public, private, or personally identifiable information about another person or contain any other information that would be deemed appropriate for suppression." Harvici (talk) 06:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Adoption discussion

As a policy, this would practically just codify community norms around usernames. I propose (and support) adopting this as policy. Justarandomamerican (talk) 02:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Rename request from 64andtim to Codename Norte

I am requesting a rename from 64andtim to Codename Norte, and 64andsomeone to Códigonombre Alguien to match the same usernames on Wikimedia; these usernames also look better. Thank you. – 64andtim 🤔 (problem?) 18:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Rename Request: Piccadilly to Fullegente

Need for new system administrator

As we presently only have 1 system administrator, I encourage anyone who would meet the technical requirements to be a system administrator to apply here on the community portal. Justarandomamerican (talk) 00:07, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I know I'm nowhere near active enough, and I don't know any PHP, but, out of curiosity, what exactly is the role of a system administrator here? Sneezless (talk) 19:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Dear, @MacFan4000 can you tell about your work here? Drummingman (talk) 19:36, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sysadmins are responsible for keeping mediawiki up to date, installing extensions and skins, and maintaining the linux server that Test Wiki runs on. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 15:18, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Considering this is a small Wiki, wouldn't one SysAdmin be fine? Harvici (talk) 23:16, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
One is actually not enough because you are dependent on one person, which is very undesirable, vulnerable and also potentially dangerous if that person leaves or is inactive for a while, you have no one else. So, a second one is very desirable. Drummingman (talk) 16:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hello, Harvici, it is as Drummingman eloquently communicates above. Having a second system administrator would serve many useful functions, such as redundancy and utility. Justarandomamerican (talk) 02:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes I now understand the need of another System administrator Harvici (talk) 06:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Template Merge

Good morning, everyone!

I'd like to propose turning User:Sav/Wikibreak into a fully-fledged template. I've invested about a day refining it to better suit The Test Wiki and its needs. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 00:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I will do it. Codename Norte 🤔 talk 01:39, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It was for a vote, to see what everyones opinions would be. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 03:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I meant that I will implement this if there are no objections, to clarify. Codename Norte 🤔 talk 04:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sure, why not? Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you! I'm going to fine tune the documentation for this wiki also. Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 01:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Discussion on a potential Signature policy

As there is a discussion on a potential username policy, I thought this would be the perfect time to get through a potential signature policy. Please feel free to add your own suggestions. Harvici (talk) 06:29, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Seems unnecessary. We haven't had signature issues with people ever. Appears to be a solution looking for a problem. X (talk + contribs) 01:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
X, you hit the nail on the head. Nobody has been blocked due to a signature issue, or even approached and warned about one. People have been blocked for having usernames like those in the username policy. Justarandomamerican (talk) 01:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question

How to get translate admin right?

Thanks

Rafdodo (talk) 18:06, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Rafdodo: Welcome to Test Wiki! The translate administrator right is bundled into the administrator group. You automatically have its rights. Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:26, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Error in filter

What I was trying to do: Hi, I was trying to create my user page... What message I received: Error SilverTester (talk) 02:10, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Disabled until a user more experienced with filters can assist. X (talk + contribs) 02:24, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Now actually  fixed. X (talk + contribs) 01:36, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
