User:Raidarr

From Test Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I am Raidarr, the fellow from multiple wiki farms. If you're unsure if it's me (on any platform), the best way to verify is over Discord (raidarr) or Miraheze.

I am here mostly as a commentator interested in 'meta things', and will not likely do much testing or 'normal editing'.

Feel free to reach out for any reason if you wish.

Ideas, etc[edit | edit source]

Things I might do, suggest or work on here. No guarantees. If they are done feel free to remove them from this list without my approval.

  • Module:RfP_header: include links for requirements/policy relating to other requestable permissions for convenience. For example to make it harder to just request interface administrator and be unaware of the expectations for the right.
  • Special:UserRights: consider spinning off instructions such as for stewards into a clickable link or a spoiler, and/or reordering by commonality. For example a standard admin/bureaucrat isn't necessarily going to benefit from regularly scrolling past the stewards blurb, especially at lower resolution.
    • A link to the user's request should be a diff or permalink. It is not helpful long term to link to current revisions for requests when the request might later be archived.
    • For administrators: based on the instructions of other roles, perhaps a reminder to assign according to respective linked pages/policies, to discourage willy nilly rights assignments.
    • For bureaucrats: reconsider inclusion of "See also the user rights log." when it is mentioned in general at the end of the page. Or better presenting the purpose of doing this.
  • Template:Blocked user: consider a local copy of the "guide to appealing blocks" which is not a lengthy wall of text and is specialized to the norms of testwiki. It is generally inadvisable to draw from enwiki for things like this because enwiki is incredibly crusty and testwiki is a far simpler project, despite taking many cues from enwiki.
  • Was mentioned on discord: consider removing auto checked user, patroller, chat moderator, and translation administrator as unnecessary/baked into other roles
