 * ✅ Remember to be patient. Please ensure you follow our policies, especially Testing policy and 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. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:45, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for accepting my request and for the information. I apologize if I came off as impatient, I just wanted to make sure I did all the requirements, and the page was a little unclear on whether I should apply at one or both places. LC Developer (talk) 22:20, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I am familiar with the policies surrounding bureaucratship, adminship, and TestWiki in general. I have not abused my admin rights and am very active in this community. I have met the 10-edit requirement (I have about 50) and the 24hr requirement.

 * Bureaucrat is normally granted to established users only. I have no issues with this request but I'd like to wait a little longer before granting. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 19:46, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand, but I would like to test with crat permissions and grant new users administrator permissions. I am somewhat established, and am very active here. I am also an admin and crat on my home wiki. Is there anything I can do/answer that would make you feel more comfortable?


 * In addition, I sometimes see edits with permissions being granted tagged with Tag:userRightsManagerTW. If granted crat rights, how do I install the gadget? LC Developer (talk) 19:57, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Some of the changes you have mad were useful but I would like to avoid granting bureaucrat now as it has not been that long and I have had to revert a lot of the changes (for example, protecting a MediaWiki page at sysop level even though non-sysops can't edit it anyway). There should be no issue with granting it eventually but not yet Naleksuh (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, I completely understand. I need to learn a little more before gaining this right. What do you mean by eventually? A few hours, days, weeks, months, years? LC Developer (talk) 20:05, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Firstly, editing a message to add a ping will not ping smoeone. See w:template:ping fix for more info. Second, I meant more like a week or so rather than months/years. It's not considered a high-trust role like consul is, but not something to grant very readily Naleksuh (talk) 20:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information about pinging. I will reapply in about a week and once I have gained more experience. LC Developer (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I would discourage requesting these rights in the immediate future not because you haven't filled a time bar, but because you have a fair few bits to work out in really understanding and applying TestWiki's scope. Frankly you seem quite new to the interface, and needing to be reviewed extensively because of this is not encouraging for bureaucrat nor is it something that resolves itself in just a week. Be more established perhaps, work out the quirks before considering the role. Two days doesn't really cut established/active and having a wiki is not pertinent. I should also note that even with crat you should not be closing central community discussions as evidently happened just a little while ago: that is the purview of a Consul. It's avoiding things like this which demonstrate understanding, more than having just read the text of policy, and it's how you get the trust which is the other aspect of requesting bureaucrat. --Raidarr (talk) 01:18, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello @Raidarr and thank you for the advice. I will only apply for crat in the future once I have understood more about the software and processes of TestWiki, absolutely no less than 1 week from now. I will  work out the quirks before considering the role. As for closing the RfC, I apologize, I was unaware that only consuls could close them, as I had seen other, non-consuls close them, and I couldn’t find anywhere that said they could only be closed by consuls. I will not do this in the future. Again, thank you for the feedback, and have a great day! LC Developer (talk) 01:39, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello! According to the policy the user meets the criteria for bureaucrat flag. Do you agree to grant the rights? AlPaD (talk) 11:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know if the trustworthy criterion can be fulfilled. Do you vouch for this user in that aspect? Agent Isai  Talk to me! 11:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Until now we have approved user requests with more than 10 edits that have been for at least 24 hours admins and have not caused any problem in the past. Are there any other criteria to be considered trustworthy? AlPaD (talk) 12:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Our sandbox also automatically clears, but you can make a sandbox that doesn't clear in your own userspace both on Wikipedia and here. Nor do you really need sysop tools for that. Naleksuh (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rafdo, as @Naleksuh said above, you don't need sysop tools to have a sandbox that doesn't clear. You can use your [ ] by clicking the link. As you have not responded, I am marking this request as ❌. If for some other reason you would like Administrator rights, feel free to make a new request with valid reasoning.

There should be no issue with granting it eventually but not yet -Naleksuh

I believe I am now ready for crat rights. I now have over 100 edits and am much more familiar with the scope of TestWiki. I have also been doing more simple, general improvement edits, such as rewording confusing statements. As a potential crat, I understand when and when not to grant rights to other users.

 * Not sure if this is relevant, but I am an Admin and crat on testwiki.wiki. LC Developer (talk) 17:03, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Why did you mark a request as declined that was already marked as declined, and also do so as a non-bureaucrat? Naleksuh (talk) 06:13, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello @Naleksuh. I marked the request as declined because it appears you forgot to. In this diff you declined the request with a comment, but forgot to change the status to declined. I just wanted to help you, and TestWiki by declining the request for you, as it was clear you forgot. I first added my name (for some reason, I don’t know why), but then I changed it to both our names, as I was the one that was making the edit, and you were the one that declined it. Maybe I shouldn’t have done it because I wasn’t a crat, but I was just trying to help you out. LC Developer (talk) 10:42, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

 * ✅. Bureaucrat isn't really used a lot for testing so I'm not going to grant it at this moment but if you continue to help out here then we can consider that. Thanks!  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 19:02, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai as far as I’m aware, if you have rights removed for inactivity, you get the rights that you used to have restored. I did previously use the Bureaucrat right, so would it be possible to get the right back? Thanks, Zippybonzo (talk) 19:32, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Ultimately, Consuls are the de facto non-test administrators on TestWiki and they, together with the community at Community portal, guide this wiki. If granting permissions, please try and link to the diff page of the given user's request when granting rights, and only grant rights upon request. AlPaD (talk) 11:26, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
