== Request for admin and bureaucrat ==
Hello, since it has been a week since my admin and bureaucrat privileges were removed, I am wondering if I can get them back again. I will undo all my tests and not test on any pages in the non-testing category. Thank you. [[User:Covid-19|Covid-19]] ([[User talk:Covid-19|talk]]) 10:42, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
:{{not done}} It’s barely a week which for me shows a hat collecting like desire, you’ve made 4 tests since. I am not convinced you are trustworthy. For now, If you make a few more non-admin tests, I’ll be happy to allow sysop in 24 hours. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 11:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
== Sending mass messages ==
Sorry if the answer to this is obvious, but I made a test mass message list but I can't find where to send a message to that list. It wasn't on the list of Special Pages. How do I mass message people (it would only be myself in this case)? Thank you. [[User:Covid-19|Covid-19]] ([[User talk:Covid-19|talk]]) 12:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
:It’s restricited to sysops. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 13:54, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
::I see. Since I have made more tests (and will continue to test), can I be promoted to admin please? [[User:Covid-19|Covid-19]] ([[User talk:Covid-19|talk]]) 15:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
:::Given your history and slightly inappropiate username, I am granting a 5 day admin trial. You will not be able to regain crat and must follow policy clearly without warning or it will be removed. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 17:03, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
::::Now {{done}}, please let me know if you need it extending 24 hours before it expires for review. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 17:05, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
:::::Okay, thank you very much. I will be careful and obey all the rules. [[User:Covid-19|Covid-19]] ([[User talk:Covid-19|talk]]) 17:52, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
== [[Special:UserGroupRights]] - Missing [[TestWiki:Administrators|Administrators]] user group ==
I noticed that [[Special:UserGroupRights]] doesn't list the [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrators]] user group. I wondered if that special page editing was limited to administrators or perhaps to interface administrators, but seeing [[mw:Manual:Configuration settings#Special pages|this help page at MediaWiki]], it seems like it's probably the ''latter'' or, perhaps, to system administrators. Nonetheless, I'm wondering if a [[TestWiki:Consuls|consul]] or an [[TestWiki:Interface administrators|interface administrator]] can edit that special page and list the "administrators" user group there? Thanks. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 01:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

::{{ping|Void}} Doh! Thanks...still, I'm wondering if we should alphabetize, in ascending order, that table for organizational purposes. Thoughts? [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 01:51, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::We can't change the order of it. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 11:26, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::::{{ping|RhinosF1}} Okay, but on other wikis, like Meta Miraheze, it appears above or below the autopatrolled group. Is it something only system administrators can change? If so, then yeah, it's pretty minor and not worth bugging the system administrators and/or stewards (if they too have access). [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 13:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::Sysadmins can't change it. There's a task for it. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 13:29, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::Ah, gotcha, on the Miraheze Phabricator, presumably. Thanks! [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:18, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::No, Wikimedia Phabricator. It's a MediaWiki Feature Request. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 14:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Ah, thanks. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:26, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
== [[User Talk:RhinosF1]] showing up on [[Special:BrokenRedirects]] ==
Hey {{ping|RhinosF1}},
I'm trying to clear the [[Special:BrokenRedirects]] report, and there's only two items left on there, one of which is your bot's talk page that redirects to your talk page that itself is essentially a soft redirect to your Miraheze Meta talk page. The other is [[User Talk:RhinosF1]] that is essentially a soft redirect to your Miraheze Meta user talk page. I'm wondering, though, wouldn't it be easier to update your Public Test Wiki [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] to link to [[mh:meta:User talk:RhinosF1|talk]] in your signature and then creation protect (at either sysop or consul level), infinitely, [[User talk:RhinosF1]] and [[User Talk:RhinosF1]]? This would get us down to only one broken redirect, and we'd eliminate extra clickthroughs of people hitting your soft redirect to your Meta user talk page, until the Phabricator ticket resolves that other known issue.
'''Note:''' I'm posting this here as I didn't want to post about Public Test Wiki on your Miraheze Meta talk page. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:I could but you could have just pinged me on discord. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 14:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::Doh, that's true. Do we have a separate Public Test Wiki Discord server? Didn't want to clutter up the Meta Discord server. I could've DMed you on Discord, though. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:29, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::No, it's a general Miraheze server but DM is fine. [[User:RhinosF1|RhinosF1]] ([[User talk:RhinosF1|talk]]) 14:30, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
== A strange issue for me to login ==
On public test wiki I am able to login but unable to access other wikis on Miraheze, when I attempt to login on Meta, I've received an error message ''There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form.'' Could any consuls help me for the guide?

:{{ping|SA 13 Bro}} I would try 1) Logging out globally on another wiki and then 2) Clear out your browser's cache and cookies. That usually works. -[[User:Examknow|Examknow]] ([[User talk:Examknow|talk]]) 23:16, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
::See [[meta:SN|Stewards' Noticeboard]] where Rob Kam is having the same issue; however, he has since withdrawn the question. Clearing one's cookies and full closing one's web browser ''should'' resolve the issue. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 23:17, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
:::Really, you do not need to close out the browser. Clearing out the browser data should work fine. If that does not work, trying in incognito mode or the equivalent for your browser should do the trick. -[[User:Examknow|Examknow]] ([[User talk:Examknow|talk]]) 23:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
::::Yes, thank you very much to {{u|Examknow}}. Clearing the cookies and browsing data is doesn't work on it, but using the incognito mode is work for Chrome.
