Request permissions
Hello. One user requested permissions without having written what permissions. In case he does not answer in how many days the request must be closed? Thanks! Fffv7787 (talk) 14:43, 27 August 2021 (UTC)


 * @Fffv7787 I think such those request should be closed immediately. I did not find much in the policy --MdsShakil (talk) 14:43, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @MdsShakil Thank you! Fffv7787 (talk) 14:47, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello. Fffv7787 and, no! Such requests should not be closed (declined) immediately. The best practice to deal with such requests is to ask which permissions they want and put the request on hold. If they didn't reply close the request as stale after the few days (preferable after 4-5 days). --Mazzaz (talk) 14:55, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @Mazzaz Hello. I reopen this request. Fffv7787 (talk) 15:15, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * AlPaD, Magogre, and MdsShakil, I thought I'd jump in to clarify the uncertainty in response to AlPa's question. Magogre's response is generally correct, but there's not a specific timeframe. It really depends. It could be two or three days, or 4-7 days, and then closed as stale, but yeah, basically (a) don't close it immediately and (b) don't close it as declined; rather, use stale. Hope that helps. :) Dmehus (talk) 04:48, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Request for Consul: Magogre

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * This is a good-faith and intentioned request for Consul from a generally helpful, active, and positive bureaucrat and sysop on TestWiki, so the candidate is thanked both for their activity, continuing to help users, and for putting their name forward for consideration for Consul. There is consensus here that the candidate is generally helpful, active, and pleasant; however, as to whether there is a need for additional need for additional Consuls, given that we currently have six Consuls, five of which do hold other global roles, there's no consensus, given the workload required of Consuls, some of which is partially automated as Naleksuh notes. As well, there's not yet consensus here that the candidate is sufficiently experienced to undertake those duties. That being said, the candidate is encouraged to being active on TestWiki, and to notifying any Consuls should there be the rare occasion where they can't undertake a certain action (namely, ManageWiki-related actions or  permissions requests). Where a user requests, and qualifies for,   on TestWiki, the candidate can reach out to any of three of the Consuls to effect in their Steward capacities. Dmehus (talk) 04:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am Magogre. I have been around since the past few months translating and assigning permissions to users at Request permissions. I would like to request the consul rights to help out in removing the rights of the inactive admins, thereby, helping to reduce the workload of the current consuls which are stewards or sysadmins. Thank you for considering, --Magogre (talk) 08:03, 10 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Very helpful and friendly user. Fffv7️⃣7️⃣8️⃣7️⃣ (talk) 11:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * - really you are a good contributor but I think you have needed little more experience for this role. Your 1st edit in this wiki only 2 months ago --MdsShakil (talk) 13:53, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for expressing your opinion. The edit you are referring to, was made on 14 June and it has been 3 months since then. I know this may be an early case but keeping in view the work stewards and sysadmins regularly do on meta, phab and elsewhere, I can help help to perform the consul duties on this wiki to ease their work here. --Magogre (talk) 16:53, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Friendly and helpful 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 05:33, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I oppose, there is certainly not any "strong workload" and I've never heard of you until this request. Also, the removal of inactive sysops is done once a month and partially automated. Naleksuh (talk) 08:43, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree there is no strong workload but it never hurts to have more volunteers. I patrol TestWiki from the shadows and Mazzaz is incredibly helpful in fulfilling rights requests and not only that, he's helpful across Miraheze globally. Currently, though we have 6 consuls, none of them are active on TestWiki (understandable, most of them occupy global roles) and I believe the addition of Mazzaz would be beneficial to the local community. For this reason, I support this request. Agent Isai (talk) 04:38, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * While I admit I don't know Magogre, I have seen from his contributiona that he has been generally helpful on TestWiki. Nonetheless, I don't really think there's another need for a Consul at this time as the workload is manageable by the current consuls. Reception123 (talk) 07:32, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

New policy for abuse filter
Hello guys, I am Matttest. I have created a new proposed-for-policy page for abuse filter. In fact now there are no policies or guidelines related to the abuse filter test, and I think it’s better to create one. Currently, I think this page can be merge into the TestWiki policy Main policy. What do you think? Please give some suggestions for the community. You may also change this proposal page. Regards, —-Matttest (talk) 09:45, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * P.S. I think the testing of abuse filter is a serious action, and it may be misused. It has its importance to be part of the policy of TestWiki (and maybe by merging to Main policy or Testing policy). I hope you guys can give out some opinions concerning this.

TNT module
Why does my module that works good in meta doesn't work here? The imported module here links to Module:TNT for some reason, TNT does nothing for the template, and there's not even an invoke code or require code in lua Anpang (talk) 08:49, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

How do I restore this page?
https://publictestwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page/fi&action=edit&redlink=1 I deleted this as a test but can't figure out how to restore it. Lugia Ann (talk) 03:36, 28 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Lugia Ann, that is a translation subpage, so you cannot/should not restore it in the traditional way. You have to either import the translations using the Translate extension, or just retranslate it. Dmehus (talk) 03:39, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will see if I can use those ways to restore the page. Lugia Ann (talk) 03:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Consul request - unprotect
These pages should be unprotected. They were protected back when crats could assign interface-admin as a security precaution, but now only consuls can assign it. They should be unprotected so authorized interface-admins can edit them. Naleksuh (talk) 01:49, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
