Gadget description[edit]

I noticed the gadget description on MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock includes the text "After adding please en:purge the page" and was wondering what the point of it is. After all, the page already says that the tool includes a purge link. wikipedia:en:purge (apparent intended target) is no help either. ping @Reception123: who added it. -- Void Discuss 20:43, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I have not seen this when importing the template. Removed. Reception123 (talk) 04:41, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Bit of advice, don't change the logo by css. I'll upload a new version of the File:NewLogo.png, and, if needed, do a pull request to change the logo. -- Void Whispers 01:14, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Are bureaucrats allowed to grant administrator right?[edit]

I found that bureaucrats are able to grant administrator right to other users technically. Are bureaucrats allowed to grant administrator right when other users request it on TestWiki:Request_permissions? Are they allowed to revoke the right when it is inappropriately used?--Tiger (talk) 14:51, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Bureaucrats are allowed to grant sysop and bureaucrat, and can revoke sysop. If you are granting admin/bureaucrat, just make sure that the request fulfills the requirements at the top of the page. If in doubt, let someone else handle it. -- Void Whispers 15:06, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

RFC: Puffin Web Browser global blocks[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
Proposal made by Long-term abuse sockpuppet

Greetings,

As some may know, the entire Puffin Web Browser has been globally blocked on Miraheze through 4 or 5 separate rangeblocks due to suspected and in some cases confirmed abuse. However, this massive block(s) have the serious potential to cause collateral damage. I have locally blocked the same ranges specifically here, anon. only and with account creation allowed. I would like to propose the following:

"Immediately following the closure of this RFC, all global blocks on Puffin Web Browser IP addresses are to be locally disabled. The local blocks made by Primeferac shall be left as is for the time being, but any admin has permission to harden the blocks if obvious abuse occurs."

I personally use Puffin when accessing the Internet from unsecure locations like restaurants and public transportation, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Therefore, I would like to help reduce the potential for collateral damage, which is never a good thing. Primeferac (talk) 00:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Userrights update[edit]

Just an FYI in a visible place.

  • After a bug was resolved in the config, sysops now have the ability to add Autopatrolled, confirmed, and rollbacker to accounts.
  • 'Crats may now assign the bot usergroup. However, please be aware to only assign the group for testing or to prevent flood, never run a full bot account without consul permission.
  • The exampleuser usergroup will be removed as the only accounts it was assigned to were locked for security concerns. It is no longer useful.

If I'm forgetting anything, remind me. If you have any questions, ask below. Cheers -- Void Whispers 21:19, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I think we can set a special usergroup like "flood" on Chinese Wikipedia (can be added by admins and only to admins themselves) to divide test groups from non-test groups. However, I don't think it's necessary because there are no real bots now. --Amanojaku (talk) 13:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

AlvaroMolina for consul[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
Withdrawn by nominee. -- Void Whispers 19:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

AlvaroMolina is a trusted user on other wikis including miraheze test wiki (spanish edition) and the test wiki @ https://testwiki.wiki/ . If these users are the same person I hereby propose that the user AlvaroMolina be granted consul to bring the amount of consuls to 4 (1 user makes an action and the other 3 can review it/take action about the first action) which is good for confirming actions made by consuls. He is also very active and can efficiently deal with issues.

Temporary feature[edit]

Hi, yesterday I used the temporary feature on Special:Userrights and I'm wondering if that feature was created by Miraheze or it comes with MediaWiki. Thank you, Cyborg (talk) 20:52, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Temporary userrights is a feature that was added in MediaWiki version 1.29. It is not specific to Miraheze. -- Void Whispers 00:03, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Able to change protection levels[edit]

Even though deletion and move rights are consul only, I am able to change them. Why? PokestarFan (talk) 19:35, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Because the protect action is not restricted. As a result, unless we decide to modify the configuration, the only way to prevent the modification of protection levels is to remove edit access as well. It would make sense if the software only allowed users to modify protection levels if they had the ability to perform the action with its current restriction level. (eg that an admin would not be able to modify consul level move/deletion restrictions). But, this is not the case. -- Void Whispers 19:45, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
This can be configured said way. That is how it’s done on https://testwiki.wiki . Config is here. MacFan4000 (talk) 20:13, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 Done, MacFan4000 (talk) 18:17, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I think we need to enable protect lock. It should be defined in LocalSettings.php and will stop lower downs from changing protection levels e.g. Sysops removong consul protection. If the community consents to it very soon I can get that set up --Sau226 (talk) 02:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Sysops cannot currently remove consul protection, if they could do that that would defeat the point of having it in the first place. Reception123 (talk) 09:01, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
@Reception123: In some cases only delete and move are protected, such as this page. As long as “edit” isn’t consul protected, any non consul can remove the move and delete protection. This would prevent that from happening. MacFan4000 (talk) 12:12, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Ok, I didn't know. That is fine yes, we should have the protect lock. Reception123 (talk) 15:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Allow bureaucrats to self resign[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 Done through Special:ManageWiki/permissions.--開拓者 (talk) 17:56, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear community,

I believe bureaucrats should be allowed to resign. A little bit of code like '+testwiki' => array( 'bureaucrat' => array( 'bureaucrat', ), or similar should be added to wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf in LocalSettings.php .

This code would allow a bureaucrat to revoke their own access themselves immediately without letting a bureaucrat decrat another user. Consuls would still be able to remove such access from anyone as required. --Sau226 (talk) 12:02, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Can someone else please comment on this? --Sau226 (talk) 10:21, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
I support this. maybe more like $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf = [ 'sysop' => true ]; like The Test Wiki has to allow admins to remove themself from any group. Bonnedav (talk) 02:46, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

After that, if the vote succeeds then it can be put on hold until such time as the current Consuls decide another one is needed. Then successful candidates can be promoted without further discussion, unless they have exibed bad behavior or gone inactive in the meantime. Bonnedav (talk) 03:05, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Bureaucrat weirdness.[edit]

I need help restoring this page[edit]

Hello all. Yesterday I made a bad decision to delete a translated version of the Main Page, https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page/zh. I thought it would be a simple matter of just restoeing the page once I had deleted it. But since it's translated, I guess it has to be manually translated again in order to be restored. I am completely inexperienced with translating pages. Can anyone help me fix this page?

Hereis a little talk about the situation. https://publictestwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/zh

And I'm sorry for this whole mess to begin with. Marseillaise (talk) 16:33, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

I tried to undelete that page, but it couldn't be restored manually, that page needs to be restored by using the Translate tool. If you want to undelete that page, here have a link to the deleted text which admins can view: HERE.

The link takes to a textbox where you can copy the text, but the page cannot be created manually, it MUST be re-created with the translate tool. Any additional help is needed for users who can Chinese. Unhappily, I cannot chinese :( so you need to ask another user who can chinese that can restore the page.

Consul Request (RhinosF1)[edit]

Successful. -- Void Whispers 21:33, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello,

I’m requesting consul because I heavily monitor TestWiki and participate in permission requests often. This would allow me to handle removal requests as well, handle inactive users as well as manage the few trolls and vandals we get who I’m well versed in. RhinosF1 (talk) 13:56, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Look into Brownlowe.2 please[edit]

I would like to request that someone look more closely into Brownlowe.2 because a user by the same name just got blocked for sockpuppetry on testwiki.wiki

 Done desysopped, blocked 2 sock puppets. RhinosF1 (talk) 15:19, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Hmm, well, Brownlowe.2 on testwiki.wiki was themselves blocked by a sock, and on that wiki, they have no relation whatsoever to any other account. Here, they are CU likely to Wuebbold.1 and TestPuppet only, so I'm not too sure what to make of it. -- Void Whispers 18:22, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Question. Please help![edit]

Greetings colleagues! Tell me, how do I add new levels of protection (bureaucrat, Consul)? I would like to improve my wiki with this. Q-bit (talk) 08:53, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

@Q-bit: I apologize for the delayed response. You can request additional protection levels on Phabricator for your wiki. dross (t • c • g) 20:00, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

@Dross: Thank you so much for your help! Q-bit (talk) 08:14, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Name Change Question[edit]

I would really like to change my name here to Brightshine, but unfortunately I can't get a name change through the Meta Wiki because I am indefinitely blocked there. Is there any other way to have my name changed? Bugambilia (talk) 14:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

You can either email stewards[at]miraheze.org or appeal your block. RhinosF1 (talk) 14:06, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
