#* This user's previous attitude towards other users and wikis in relation to abuse of powers, namecalling, random demotions, and hat collecting.
#* This user's recent block (on another wiki) that appeared to have blatant lies in several different block reasons, along with (what I would call) misuse of block permissions (even though there's no blocking policy there).

We need to work on

For anyone that wants to help here is a list of stuff that needs to be done :

  • Import useful templates (and files)
  • Create main page (maybe wait for Meta first)
  • Develop policies
  • Fix request template (permission)
  • Backup

Please add anything that you think is relevant to the list.--Reception123 (talk) 02:12, 8 August 2015 (EDT)

Proposal for NDKilla as consul

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
As there is currently no community I am closing this as  Done, the right should be added soon. Reception123 (talk) 15:04, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

This is mostly for logging the request, as you know NDKilla is a trusted member of the community (there currently isn't one) and therefore I think he should have consul. --Reception123 (talk) 15:00, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Mediawiki:Common.css

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
User removed. If you disagree please add another discussion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reception123 (talk • contribs)

Hello, as it seems that not everyone likes MediaWiki:Common.css we should have a vote to keep it. --Reception123 (talk) 08:57, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Oppose

  • Oppose I currently oppose the colored usernames for more reasons. First, we would have to add them to all users. Second, not everyone wants them. Third, who would have colored usernames? Bureaucrats? Consuls? Reception123 (talk) 08:57, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
  • Vote to remove them. :-p Revi (talk) 10:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Comments/Questions

As for two Oppose, I removed the coloured usernames. --TheTVFan (talk) 10:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

New comment on MediaWiki:Common.css

Currently editing the interface page to test making my name (and mine alone) red, but also trying to get links to other pages working (my talk page etc). Any sysop who feels this is disruptive is welcome to delete the page. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 17:44, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

I think that it is every user's choice if they want to change their name color. Everyone is free to edit their own name. Reception123 (talk) 18:08, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Becoming a Consul member [Closed]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
I've decided to close that myself, as I do agree with them, Weakly support or not support at all, I think we need more community too. SleepyMode (talk) 10:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello there, I would like to become a Consul member, because as a result, I would be able to help in more important things, for example, Miraheze is getting stronger and larger, so People would start being active on the test wiki, starting as sysops, and then bureaucrats, And it will be likely if I could help about it. SleepyMode (talk) 12:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Weakly support If TestWiki was already more active I'd be more likely to support. I like the fact that you're a sysop and bureaucrat, but a lot of people from Miraheze haven't been coming to TestWiki. Really, there are currently only two users you could demote as consul, and the group offers no other real permissions. Also, you promoted User:Lemondoge to bureaucrat, when I didn't see anything right away to make them seem trustworthy, and they also didn't provide a confirmation edit/diff on wikipedia to prove that's them. (It probably is, and they're probably the same user on thetestwiki.org too ;p) -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Weakly support As per what NDKilla said I really don't think there is a need for another consul, seeing that there is not a lot of community here. If the community will grow and there will be a real need then you can re-request. Reception123 (talk) 18:41, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Bot policy

Per TestWiki:Bots and TestWiki:Bot approval requests‎, I've gone ahead and pushed a configuration change. Effective immediately, Bureaucrats may no longer assign the bot flag. For now, all bot requests must be made directly through a Consul. Operating a bot without the bot flag (or contacting us asking for authorization to test the bot without the flag) will be grounds for an immediate, indefinite block against the bot, and possible sanctions against the bot operator.

I apologize for what I'm well aware are harsh measures, but bot's (even without flag/permission) can cause a lot of damage quickly, that even with certain tools, can be hard to undo. A more in depth bot policy will be created in the near future.

In general:

  • NEVER GIVE THE BOT FLAG TO AN ACCOUNT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO, OR AN ACCOUNT USED BY A BOT YOU OPERATE This will be grounds for removal of your permissions (up to discretion of Consuls)
  • Never operate a bot without authorization
    • For testing a bot, this involves asking a Consul directly for permission to run the bot without the flag
    • For tested, working bots, this involves acquiring the bot flags via appropriate means
  • Try to document what the bot does, how it works, etc
    • Although you are free to use a bot for whatever reasons, and you may test whatever on this wiki:
      • Consuls, Stewards, and System Administrator's may request source code for your bot. IT MUST BE PROVIDED UPON A VALID REQUEST
      • Additionally, even if source code isn't requested, you are required to make a public note about the bots tasks. This will allow users who wish to do so the ability to monitor your bot and make sure it is not malfunctioning
      • Bots are recommended but not required to have their "power" based on an on-wiki page. This page, if needed, can be protected to logged in users, autoconfirmed, sysop, crat, or consul only.
      • Bots failing to abide by on-wiki toggle switches may be indefinitely blocked at any hint of malfunction or operation outside of authorized scope

Gadgets

Why is there no gadgets section in my preferences? Ipadguy (talk) 13:33, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

@Ipadguy: Because the testwiki has no gadgets yet. Feel free to add some (you can copy them from wikipedia, Mediawiki:Gadget-etc.) Reception123 (talk) 14:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
But this one and this one already exsist. Ipadguy (talk) 14:59, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
I forgot I installed those. I think gadgets did work sometime. I'll look into it. Reception123 (talk) 15:05, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ipadguy: A vandal deleted the page that made them work, gadgets now work again. Reception123 (talk) 15:38, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Why I can't edit that gadgets, what only bureucrat doing? AYST201 (talk) 07:33, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

VisualEditor

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
To make a compromise I will add VisualEditor to TestWiki but it will be OPTIONAL to enable it or not. So who doesn't want it doesn't get it, who does can enable it. Reception123 (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
As you may know, VisualEditor has been added to Meta. I am not sure if it is wanted on TestWiki. Please vote below. Reception123 (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Support

Support Not a bad idea. Reception123 (talk) 18:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Strong support Most wikis use VisualEditor, it will help for testing too. SleepyMode 09:41, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

Oppose I don't think we need it here. Ipadguy (talk) 20:46, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Comment

After 7 days of this being open (5 February 2016), I will calculate how many votes are against and for and per that will make a request. Reception123 (talk) 09:44, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
