== Favicon ==

Should the favicon of this wiki be the same as the logo instead of the regular miraheze favicon? [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 02:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|Naleksuh}} It probably should be. Do you happen to know the dimensions of a favicon, so I can resize the image, upload, and set in ManageWiki? [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 03:04, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
::{{ping|Dmehus}} That's not necessary, just take the same url being used for the logo and use that for the favicon. I did that for dev wiki and it worked out fine. [[User:Naleksuh|Naleksuh]] ([[User talk:Naleksuh|talk]]) 04:50, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Naleksuh}} Ah, I wasn't sure if the favicon would automatically resize, as I know the site logo has to be an exact 135x135 (or 135x''x'' or ''x''x135), so I'll try and make this change now then. Thanks for the good suggestion! [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:57, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I have tried to translate the main page, but I receive an error: ''The title "Translations:Main Page/2/de" has been banned from creation.

== Change in the [[TestWiki:Main policy#Blocking and unblocking]] ==

Hello fellows, the policy clearly states that {{talkquote|You may create test accounts to test blocks or you can place blocks on yourself.}} It is ok to test blocks on yourself (your own/main account), but it also states {{talkquote|You may create test accounts to test blocks}} which, in my opinion is wrong. If users create an alternative account, the underlining IP address remains same and if they block the alternative account, their main account will also get blocked and won't be able to test anything since the IP address will be same in both the accounts. This happened to me (probably on my second day here). I'd suggest to replace {{talkquote|You may create test accounts to test blocks or you can place blocks on yourself.}} with {{talkquote|As a best practice, test blocked should be made on [[User:Example]] or yourself.}}
-- [[User:Juslit|Jusl<i><b>¡</b></i>t]] ([[user talk:Juslit|talk]]) 17:25, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

:Users ''can'' create alternate accounts, though. Nevertheless, this is fairly non-controversial, so if there's no objections, I'll close this as a non-controversial amendment after three calendar days by replacing the above with, "You may place clearly marked test blocks on yourself, on [[User:Example]], or on any alternate accounts you create for this purpose. As a best practice, it's recommended you (a) create any alternate accounts while logged into your main account and (b) identify any alternate accounts via your local or [[mw:Extension:GlobalUserPage|global]] user page in some way." How does that sound? [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 17:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
::{{U|Dmehus}}, since the IP block exemptions have been added to the <code>sysop</code> group, I have no objections. -- [[User:Juslit|Jusl<i><b>¡</b></i>t]] ([[user talk:Juslit|talk]]) 19:56, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
:::[[User:Juslit|Olipino]] Okay, {{Done|great}}. If you or [[User:Anton|Anton]] want to add the <code>ipblock-exempt</code> to the [[TestWiki:Administrators]] page, that'd be great, but ''do'' link to my Consul action in your edit summary using <code><nowiki>[[Special:Redirect/logid/15678|this Consul action]]</nowiki></code>.

== Inconsistency regarding requirements to request Bureaucrat ==

I noticed that both [[TW:B]] and [[TW:RfP]] list different requirements to be eligible to obtain bureaucrat. [[TW:B]] states that a user must be a ''registered user'' for 24 hours before requesting bcrat, where as [[TW:RfP]] states that a user must be an ''administrator'' for 24 hours before requesting bcrat. Typically I would correct this issue myself, but I do not know what the real requirement is, so I am bringing it up here in hopes that someone else can rectify the issue. [[User:Joritochip|Joritochip]] ([[User talk:Joritochip|talk]]) 02:55, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
:<s>{{u|Joritochip}}, I think bureaucrats can only promote <code>[[TestWiki:Administrators|admins]]</code> to bureaucrats user right (but I may be wrong). That's why it may be necessary to be an admin for 24 hours. -- [[User:Juslit|Jusl<i><b>¡</b></i>t]] ([[user talk:Juslit|talk]]) 04:42, 6 April 2021 (UTC)</s>
:[[User:Joritochip|Joritochip]] Interesting point. In ''theory'', I would say [[TestWiki:Bureaucrats]] would be correct, as one could theoretically have had a TestWiki account for more than twenty four hours but simply never requested [[TestWiki:Administrators|administrator]], so they've demonstrated that they're ''trusted''. In ''practice'', though, [[TestWiki:Request permissions]]' language may be the way to go. [[User:Reception123|Reception123]], do you have any thoughts? It is a [[TestWiki:Policies|policy]] page, but this a non-controversial administrative change I think we can clarify administratively as a [[TestWiki:Consuls|Consul]] action. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:16, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
==Suggested move==
While testing, I came across the template, [[Template:RfPdone|RfPdone]]. I'd suggest to move it to the new more suitable title, <code>''AdminGranted''</code> or ''something similar''. I'd also like to make a new template to use when we will add someone to the bureaucrats group to let them know about the policies. Let me know who supports this. {{U|Dmehus}}, {{u|Anton}}, what do you think. -- [[User:Juslit|Jusl<i><b>¡</b></i>t]] ([[user talk:Juslit|talk]]) 13:47, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
:It serves a different purpose than {{tl|AdminAcceptRfP}}; however, I personally don't think it's needed, as everyone can be a TestWiki <code>[[TestWiki:Administrators|sysop]]</code>. I'm checking with [[User:Reception123|Reception123]] to see what he thinks. [[mh:meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 14:10, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
::{{u|Dmehus}}, you took me in the wrong way. I know it serves a different purpose. What I mean is "''this template should be posted on the talk page of a person who got the <code>admin</code> flag, to let them know about the TestWiki policies. Posting at the talk page produces a notification and a user is bound to see what it is.'' I know everyone can be admin but, not everyone knows about the policies. -- [[User:Juslit|Jusl<i><b>¡</b></i>t]] ([[user talk:Juslit|talk]]) 14:23, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I just think we don't necessarily ''need'' to be creating a user talk page message for every user who requests permissions at [[TestWiki:Request permissions]]. I mean, we can keep the template, but my ''preference'' would be for deletion. Arguably it would be better to encourage Bureaucrats and Consuls to use {{tl|AdminAcceptRfP}} and {{tl|BureaucratAcceptRfP}} at [[TestWiki:Request permissions]] when granting permissions, as then the [[Special:Diff|diff]] to the ''completed'' permission's request can be included within the requesting user's [[Special:UserRights|user rights log]], no?

Wordmark

I propose that we use the following as our new wordmark. What does people think?

MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 20:33, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is so small, and our logo already includes the words "Public Test Wiki." I'm not certain we need this here. I propose we just have the space allocated for the wordmark in New Vector be whitespace instead. Dmehus (talk) 22:50, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello MacFan4000, I would like to say that the proposed wordmark is small and, at least to me, it seems it's width is more than its height. And well that's not an issue.
I can't read what is written on the two sides of the triangle. It looks like it's pixels has broken and the current one seems to be more clearer. Thanks:) Mazzaz (talk) 05:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
