Administrator access

Munkhzaya.E@mn.wikipedia

Hello, I would like to extend my administrator rights further. Can I get my admin rights for local WPs permanently. — regards Munkhzaya.E (talk) 05:54, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your adminship still runs until 3 October. --MF-W 15:42, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in 4 weeks, but I want to be in advance extend my admin rights. - Munkhzaya.E (talk) 05:12, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 3 October 2018 Ruslik (talk) 20:08, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ئارام بکر@ckbwiki

Please grant this user SYSOP rights along with Interface admin rights. Current practice in ckb is to ask the users that request adminship if they want Interface admin rights as well. User has basic understandings of JS and CSS. Thanks.▸ ‎épine _talk♬ 14:09, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

سمير تامر@arwikinews

Hi! I'm Samer Tamer, temporary admin on Arabic Wikinews. My sysop rights delay will end tomorrow. Can you give me a permanent adminship? Best regards... سمير تامر (talk) 18:52, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 13 September --Alaa :)..! 19:06, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alaa, I think that the "on hold" delay has ended. I'm waiting for your answer. Have a great day سمير تامر (talk) 21:45, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @سمير تامر: I'm waiting the action from another steward, because I'm a sysop in arwikinews so I can't handle this request --Alaa :)..! 08:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 1 year to expire on 2019-09-14. The wiki is in my opinion too small to grant permanent access at this time. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. -- Trijnstel_talk 12:47, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Trijnstel for granting me the adminship. Arabic Wikinews is now much better than the past years, and I guess we have at least one permanent admin. But anyway I'll try to make Arabic Wikinews better than ever. Thanks again. --سمير تامر (talk) 14:32, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editor D.S@pt.wikinews

Hello. I opened a new request to be an administrator on pt.wikinews, where I was elected with 100% of the favorable votes. I would like to get the status for a period of 6 months, if possible. Thank you very much in advance. --Editor D.S (talk) 21:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ananth subray@kn.wikisource

Currently, we don't have admins on Kannada Wikisource. Which is becoming a problem for all the community members to work on this projects. Because there is a need for many templates to be imported and delete some of the troubling pages. As many new editors are coming, we have a need of protection for few pages to avoid the vandalism. As I am a Trusted, active user with a vast technical knowledge community has selected me to be a sysop. Hence I request you to give the rights to do the needful.

Raju Babu@bh.wikipedia

At present there are two permanent admins on bh.wikipedia, i.e. User:Eukesh ji, and me (SM7). Because Eukesh has not been active for a long time, we need a helping hand in admin related works. Raju Babu has previously been admin (even before myself) twice (last temporary duration for a whole year) and is a trusted user. As we are a very small community please don't expect a lot of votes. Kindly grant him permanent sysop rights. Thanks. --SM7^--talk-- 20:01, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When was Bodhisattwa made a permanent admin? I see only an assignment for 6 months that was not removed. Ruslik (talk) 20:17, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Llywelyn2000@cy.wikipedia

Take Notice - As you see in the above example, the fact that I am unable to edit the MediaWici:Vector.css template on our very own cywiki, on which I'm an Admin and Beurocrats, means that this error continues to appear on around 20,000 Wikipedia articles!!! I've given an example above. Please authorise immediately! I shall raise this issue elsewhere, as Admins / Beurocrats from xx-wiki should be able to edit ALL pages on that wiki. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 11:04, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Llywelyn2000: If you are a bureaucrat you don't need steward to grant this right. Just view cy:Special:UserRights/Llywelyn2000.--GZWDer (talk) 01:24, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's new! Thankfully! How do I 'withdraw' this request, please? Thanks GZWDer! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:10, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done --Alaa :)..! 08:46, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Llywelyn2000: Note that I removed the rights bot, account creator and confirmed user. While you might be able to add all rights, it doesn't mean you are allowed to do so in all cases. You should not give bot access to a regular account, and account creator/confirmed user is redundant with your admin rights. Please be a bit more careful, thank you. Trijnstel_talk 12:38, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I already have bot rights on my bot account (BOT-Twm Crys). The decision whether a bureaucrat adds these rights should be on the local wiki, only. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 13:46, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

علاء@ar.wikinews

This RfA opened since 6 September 2018, and there's 8 supports (4 more than 100 edits -1 user with more than 5000 edits-). Per Wikinews Statistics, arwikinews is the 11th largest edition of Wikinews, with more than 7,330 content pages, more than 35 active users, 4 sysops, 17 bots, 32 rollbackers --Alaa :)..! 09:01, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know... there are four sysops, yes, but three of them have temporary admin rights at the moment. I feel this wiki is too small for local bureaucrats. Trijnstel_talk 12:49, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Trijnstel: we (arwikinews community) discussed about that, and we found that we need a local bureaucrat to deal with bots + admin interface issues, also some users mentioned that cswikinews (12th largest edition of Wikinews) and cawikinews (13th largest edition of Wikinews) have an active local bureaucrat. Also, "almost" all first 10 editions of Wikinews have at least one local bureaucrat. Finally, we opened this request based on arwikinews community opinions --Alaa :)..! 13:01, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Trijnstel. --MF-W 14:48, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also think this project is still far too small to need local bureaucrats. RadiX∞ 02:08, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. 8 supports (3 of them have less than 100 edits and most of voters aren't active recently) and 3 local admins (2 of them temporary). Active community isn't enough big to have a local bureaucrat for now. Matiia (talk) 16:51, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done as well. Thanks. RadiX∞ 19:06, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe these removals should have been done by someone else, given that -revi is an admin on Commons? --Rschen7754 00:45, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, personally I don't mind for removals as these, since it's simply procedural... Trijnstel_talk 22:10, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These did happen to be uncontroversial, but if there had been concerns raised later over the procedure (example: c:Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section/Aug-Sep 2017), -revi could have been left in a difficult position (especially since this involves OS as well). --Rschen7754 00:32, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To me that episode sounds more like a problem with Commons's definition of "inactivity" than with the steward action, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:56, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it's always been the conventional wisdom that any steward actions on homewiki = BAD, but I really don't see it unless there's an actual conflict of interest. Making your friend a CU? No thanks. Implementing a community process? Why not. – Ajraddatz (talk) 06:09, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I knew some might see this as controversial when I was doing it, but at the same time I believed that this one was clear-cut case as written in SP. — regards, Revi 06:13, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Leaderboard@enwikibooks

As a sysop, I already have the standard import interface (transwiki import) where I can import from other en wikis. However, I need the importupload permission as well. This is because I often need to import from non-English projects (such as fr.wikibooks, for which the standard import option isn't available), and occasionally handle complex import cases for which the standard import facility does not suffice. Please let me know if this isn't possible. Thanks. Leaderboard (talk) 13:51, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have you considered adding projects such as frwikibooks to your wiki's import sources (requires a short community discussion + request at phabricator)? In any case, you will need to provide a link to a community discussion prior to being granted any further user rights by stewards. Kind regards, --Vogone (talk) 14:00, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vogone: No; in any case, it's difficult to predict from which languages import may be required from. As for the community discussion, while I can certainly do it, is it really required? Considering that I'm already a sysop and have the general import permission... Leaderboard (talk) 14:18, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Import is a 'super duper hyper' sensitive right, that requires community consensus, whether or not you have sysop. — regards, Revi 15:34, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi: Ok, will do so. Please keep this request on hold till then. Thanks. Leaderboard (talk) 16:00, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Leaderboard: any news? --Alaa :)..! 07:29, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@علاء:, Please see here, where I filed the request as requested. Leaderboard (talk) 13:00, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On hold pending community consensus — regards, Revi 14:10, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TheTester-0000@global

For test purposes, please delete my global account. Thanks --TheTester-0000 (talk) 02:11, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Account deletion is not possible. If you are European resident and want to exercise your right to vanish under the GDPR, contact privacywikimedia.org. Stewards cannot assist with the GDPR cases. Thanks. — regards, Revi 14:22, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
