Note: Unregistered users cannot be granted permissions. Please log in if you want to request permissions here.

Request permissions on TestWiki Welcome to Miraheze's TestWiki! This page is for requesting testing permissions (Administrator/Bureaucrat) for TestWiki. Tips for a successful request: Be sure to replace Requested right with the actual user right you are requesting. You will see what we are referring to once you tap on the blue 'Request permissions' button at the bottom of this pink box. Important notes Make sure to read our policies before making any request, especially the main policy and the testing policy, and remember to revert and undo all your tests once you're done. Administrator user right may be granted to any logged in user, but it may also be revoked for inappropriate use. Bureaucrat user right will only be granted to a user who has been an administrator for 24 hours, who has at least 10 edits, and who has been deemed trustworthy. Specific user rights like CheckUser and Oversight will never be given, due to the access to sensitive private information. For confirmed user and autopatrolled rights, you can assign it to yourself if you are an administrator (though you can request those user groups here if you do not require and do not want the sysop tools). For consul rights, that should be requested at the community portal, and gain a clear community consensus for that right to be granted. Consul is a very high-trust role and is rarely granted.

SHEKH (talk) 01:57, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Please ensure you follow our policies, especially TestWiki:Testing policy and TestWiki:Main policy, reverting every test administrative action in the reverse order performed. As a best practice, test blocks should be done on User:Example or yourself. --Dmehus (talk) 02:21, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

• User: Cortex ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)

 Done. Please ensure you follow our policies, especially TestWiki:Testing policy and TestWiki:Main policy, reverting every test administrative action in the reverse order performed. As a best practice, test blocks should be done on User:Example or yourself. --Dmehus (talk) 02:24, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

@Cortex: If you are wanting to test abuse filters, please limit them to a specific page(s), such as your sandbox, so as not to negatively other users' experiences. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 02:24, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

SHEKH (Bureaucrat)

• Status:  Done by Dmehus
• User: SHEKH ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Bureaucrat
• Reason for requesting: I want to test the function of bureaucrat

SHEKH (talk) 05:44, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Please continue to make sure you are following all policies and know that bureaucrat is, ultimately, a more senior, trusted testing permission. Ultimately, Consuls are the de facto non-test administrators on TestWiki and they, together with the community at TestWiki:Community portal, guide this wiki. If granting permissions, please try and link to the diff page of the given user's request when granting rights, and only grant rights upon request. --Dmehus (talk) 05:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Your tests have been fine; one minor point, when you delete your user page that is currently protected, best practice is to remove the protection first. Dmehus (talk) 05:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
