TestWiki:Request permissions

Note: Unregistered users cannot be granted permissions. Please log in if you want to request permissions here.

Request permissions on TestWiki Welcome to Miraheze's TestWiki! This page is for requesting testing permissions (Administrator/Bureaucrat) for TestWiki. Tips for a successful request: Be sure to replace Requested right with the actual user right you are requesting. You will see what we are referring to once you tap on the blue 'Request permissions' button at the bottom of this pink box. Important notes Make sure to read our policies before making any request, especially the main policy and the testing policy, and remember to revert and undo all your tests once you're done. Administrator user right may be granted to any logged in user, but it may also be revoked for inappropriate use. Bureaucrat user right will only be granted to a user who has been an administrator for 24 hours, who has at least 10 edits, and who has been deemed trustworthy. Specific user rights like CheckUser and Oversight will never be given, due to the access to sensitive private information. For confirmed user and autopatrolled rights, you can assign it to yourself if you are an administrator (though you can request those user groups here if you do not require and do not want the sysop tools). For consul rights, that should be requested at the community portal, and gain a clear community consensus for that right to be granted. Consul is a very high-trust role and is rarely granted.

• Status:  Done by Liberty Launch
• User: Turtle84375 ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Bureaucrat
• Reason for requesting: I would like to use the Bureaucrat permissions to make more advanced testing actions such as MassMessage. Additionally, I would like to help out more on this wiki in terms of reviewing permissions requests.

ロープTA (Bureaucrat)

• Status:  Awaiting Reply
• User: ロープTA ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Bureaucrat
• Reason for requesting: For Addon test

ロープTA (talk) 15:33, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

ロープTA Do you mean enabling extensions? Only Consuls on TestWiki can enable extensions, but it's not a problem for you to still request bureaucrat or, preferably start with, sysop, and request any Consul enable an extension for you. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 15:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Okey Thank you! ロープTA (talk) 03:36, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

@Dmehus: Should this request be closed in lieu of a new request by @ロープTA:, or should they edit this request if they wish for Bureaucrat or Administrator permissions? Turtle84375 (talk) 23:39, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

We probably could. I usually try and wait at least three to five days before closing as stale. ロープTA, did you still want test sysop and/or bureaucrat permissions? I'm willing to waive the usual 24 hours and 10 edit requirement for the latter, as a Consul discretionary action, if desired. Dmehus (talk) 23:46, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Melba Merrystar Are you Bugambilia? I strongly advise you to consider your response carefully. If you are not upfront with me now, I'd be inclined to classify you as long-term abuse, making an appeal in 3-6 months, if ever, quite unlikely. Dmehus (talk) 22:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I am not Bugambilia or anyone else. I found this wiki from a Google search for test wiki's. Melba Merrystar (talk) 22:39, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Your username and response suggest otherwise. Accordingly, this is not done unless you can confirm your Miraheze account from an account in good standing on a Wikimedia wiki. Dmehus (talk) 22:40, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I do have a Wikipedia account with the same name but haven't used it yet. Will that be sufficient? Melba Merrystar (talk) 22:44, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I mean, Melba Merrystar was just created on 9 May 2021. I'd suggest you make a few edits with your Melba Merrystar account on English Wikipedia, but do be mindful not to evade any local blocks from prior accounts you may or may not have had, then we'll reevaluate things in a week or two.

 Done Please ensure you follow our policies, especially TestWiki:Testing policy and TestWiki:Main policy, reverting every test administrative action in the reverse order performed. As a best practice, test blocks should be done on User:Example or yourself. Dmehus (talk) 00:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Walhouse (Admin)

• Status:  Done by Dmehus
• User: Walhouse ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Admin
• Reason for requesting: I'm fairly experienced with MediaWiki (running it, not coding it), don't need a standalone wiki yet, but will keep to policies here and also cleanup any other test work as needed.

Angelo Pisani (Admin)

• Status:  Done by Dmehus
• User: Angelo Pisani ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Admin
• Reason for requesting: Hi I'm an admin on English, Italian and Sicilian Vikidia and I would like to have the admin tools, because Vikidia doesn't have a recent version of MediaWiki, so I can't practice some tools like the topic ban.

--Angelo Pisani (talk) 19:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Note that there's no specific function for a topic ban; that's usually manually enforced with pages like this, unless you mean partial blocks, in which case, absolutely those can be used. Dmehus (talk) 19:45, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
