 * ❌ Sorry, but you must be an Administrator for at least 24 hours before being granted 'crat. -Examknow (talk) 17:30, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * To add to what said, we're somewhat flexible on the 24 hour rule (i.e., 20 hours might be okay), but there has to be enough test edits, and cleaning up of one's test edits, in order to satisfy the requirement that you are trustworthy. I noticed you've added Category:GrahamSH to your user page, ostensibly testing the HotCat gadget, which is great, but we generally don't categorize users in that way. We do have Category:Users, but that's, more or less, a holding category for the Babel users by language category. So, I would recommend, first, to practicing a test deletion by deleting Category:GrahamSH and then removing, via HotCat, the user category you added to your local page (to remove it from Special:WantedCategories as a redlinked, wanted category). Following that, perform a few tests, undoing or reverting, as applicable, so that we can see you know what you're doing. If you're ever unsure, don't hesitate to ask one of us here on wiki or via #miraheze-testwiki on IRC. Also, you may find Category:Special test pages helpful for listing all of the pages on which you can perform certain administrator tool function tests, without having to both create and delete any new test pages you create.

 * Reason for requesting: I want to learn how to be a bureaucrat. I have a lot of experience with admin, but not crat.
 * When you say that you have "a lot of experience with admin, but not crat," are you speaking to your experience on other wikis or just Public Test Wiki? If the latter, I'd prefer to see a few more test edits. Try checking out Category:Special test pages, perform a few other tests besides just a page deletion/undeletion and a category creation, and make sure you undo any tests performed (i.e., if you create a new test page, delete it). If the former, can you link to your Special:Contributions page or Special:Log page (either as an interwiki wikilink or external link) for us to review? So, I'm placing this request, to either see a few more tests/cleanup or seeing your external wiki admin actions/logs, then either I or another bureaucrat will be able to grant you bureaucrat rights.

 * Yes I am use to fandom. Rock (talk) 03:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ Okay, thanks for clarifying from where you came. I am going to grant you administrator permissions. Though we have few rules, we do have some guidelines. Please ensure you've read them. The two most important ones are that you (a) undo any tests you perform (i.e., if creating a new page, delete it afterward) and that (b) you are strongly encouraged, when testing blocking functionality, to test on User:Example. Though it is a globally locked test account, it still can be blocked, unblocked, and the like. Also, when testing, we have Category:Special test pages that includes a series of pages on which you are encouraged to perform any tests. Longer term, if you want to volunteer to help improve Public Test Wiki, please ask any consul or an experienced bureaucrat for ways in which you can volunteer. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask us on IRC or Discord. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 16:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

 * ❌ as it's only been one week since a consul revoked your user rights and informed you can reapply in 28 days. You need to wait about three more weeks. To make readdition of both your rights more likely, I strongly suggest creating a sandbox and performing a series of constructive test edits that administrators can patrol.

 * Can you clarify what you want to do with editing it? There should generally be no reason to change this page. Naleksuh (talk) 21:18, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I want to know whether or not I could use templates and add variables inside of them, let's say I have a template called   and the template allows for more information to be inserted inside of it, so I can use the template like this   . So now I have the template with the information with it, however I want to use that for special:upload, but from what I have seen on Wikimedia projects, they always use multiple templates for the licenses like this:
 * *PD|Public Domain
 * *CC|SA-BY|Creative commons license 1
 * *CC|ND-SA-BY|Creative commons license 2 </br
 * -With PD, CC, SA-BY and ND-SA-BY being templates. Totalling 4 different templates.
 * I have no idea if it is possible, but I wanted to compress all of that into one template by using one empty template and inserting information inside of it, like I have shown above and I did not want to try this on my own wiki. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 21:31, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * So you want to test the transclusion of this template? You can test on the Sandbox without needing to edit the mediawiki page though, right? Naleksuh (talk) 21:34, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The transclusion works differently on Mediawiki:License, I could even have used the Sandbox on Wikipedia if I needed to test a regular template for an article, but instead I need to use Mediawiki:License and obviously I can't edit Wikipedia's licenses since I'm not an admin there (And for that matter it would probably disrupt the website itself, so even I was admin there I would not do that). I was speaking hypothetically when I referred to the template called "template", but I do wanna test Template:CC which I created just about 10 minutes ago.

Regarding MediaWiki:License, I suspect you cannot change this in the MediaWiki:License interface message because this is controlled in either (a)  or (b) globally in the MirahezeMagic messages, both of which are administered on GitHub. You can see more here and here. What are you trying to do, though? Are you trying to change your wiki's copyright license? Dmehus (talk) 16:12, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm already done with testing, it didn't go as I'd originally expected (Because of how it is set up on Wikipedia) and I liked the results, I could add variables into my templates normally without additional trouble. I mentioned the wrong page above, it was Mediawiki:LicenseS that I intended to edit, but that's besides the point, now. At least I did not need to go to the localsettings, I just needed admin privileges, so I could edit that page, but thanks anyway for the concern. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 18:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

On bureaucrat, we do normally like to see you make a few edits, so this is on hold for one day and until you've made a few edits. Are you wanting to test Special:ManageWiki here, though?

Please make sure that you only grant bureaucrat in line with policy and only upon request (ideally, here, but also on your TestWiki user talk page as well).

 * Yeah, I would want to see just a few more edits from you and at least twenty four hours.

 * Plus Plus. It's not related to the request, but why don't you make a new namespace like "Test:blah blah"? It would be much better to distinguish with non-test pages.

 * Regards,
 * Scian (talk) 23:23, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, well, you're not really linking your accounts, per se. Generally, it's quite easy to confirm your account. All you would do is make a small edit to your user page on the other wiki, saying something like, "I am Scian on Public Test Wiki," then you just come back here, and share the link to that specific revision. That's an account confirmation edit. But to your request, what sort of things are you interested in testing with the  bit? I noted that you suggested creating a new namespace for test pages, which is not a bad idea, and I am planning on having a new namespace (School:) for our long-planned administrator school. Plus, if we made a namespace for test pages, what would we use Main: namespace for? We'd be one of the only wikis to have no or almost no pages in our main namespace. At any rate, note that bureaucrats on TestWiki don't have access to , as that is within the permissions of consuls. Your edits have been fine, you've been reverting all your tests in the reverse order performed, and have generally been following our policies, I guess my only concern, really, aside from wanting to know what you want to test with the bureaucrat bit, is how you came to discover and add the Category:TestWiki sockpuppets of Bugambilia category to category test? Can you describe for me your thought process, and walk me through the steps that caused you to discover that category? With that answered, as well as what you want to use the bureaucrat bit for, I'd be much more inclined to grant you the bit. Dmehus (talk) 01:35, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks. Bugambilia? I don’t know but I think I just typed test and it was on the top so I put it just as test. Actually, I’m Korean so I don’t know some words such as ‘sockpuppet’ and ‘Bugambilia’. Thanks.

We're pretty accommodating with reasonable use cases.
