TestWiki:Request permissions

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.

 Done. Please ensure you've read our policies, understand them, and revert all tests in the reverse order performed. Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 20:22, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Scian (Admin)

• Status:  Done by Dmehus
• User: Scian ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Admin
• Reason for requesting: I want to know about MediaWiki Engine, and I want to learn how-to-admin on wiki sites to control my Miraheze Wikis.

I did some edits on other wikis (like Wikipedia) and I know how to edit, but I don't know how to control.

Plus. I want to learn MediaWiki controls to develop or edit my Miraheze wikis.

I read Policies well. Thanks. Scian (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

 Done, but @Scian:, I did note your creation of a test page in TestWiki: namespace. On TestWiki, all testing pages are created in Main: namespace. Please ensure you've read TestWiki:Policies, and revert all tests in the reverse order which performed. Dmehus (talk) 16:56, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Scian (Bureaucrat)

• Status:  Done by Naleksuh
• User: Scian ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth ) (assign permissions)
• Requested group/permission: Bureaucrat
• Reason for requesting: I want to have high-leveled tests.

Of course, I won't abuse it and I know that I should wait 24 hours after being Admin.

I do request this Before 24 hours and I'm willing to wait 24 hours after being Admin because it's the wiki's Policy! Thanks.

Regards, Scian (talk) 02:24, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

@Scian: Yeah, I would want to see just a few more edits from you and at least twenty four hours. If you'd like to expedite the process, you can, optionally and in your discretion, link to your TestWiki account from your account on another major wiki (i.e., a Wikimedia wiki). Dmehus (talk) 02:27, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your consideration. I don't need that permission right now so I can wait for a while and I will make some edits.

Plus. I don't know how to link my another accounts :(

Plus Plus. It's not related to the request, but why don't you make a new namespace like "Test:blah blah"? It would be much better to distinguish with non-test pages.

@Dmehus: But Thanks, Scian (talk) 02:31, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

I want to perform high-leveled tests. But, I will ask before performing important actions.

Regards,

Scian (talk) 23:23, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

@Scian: Oh, well, you're not really linking your accounts, per se. Generally, it's quite easy to confirm your account. All you would do is make a small edit to your user page on the other wiki, saying something like, "I am Scian on Public Test Wiki," then you just come back here, and share the link to that specific revision. That's an account confirmation edit. But to your request, what sort of things are you interested in testing with the bureaucrat bit? I noted that you suggested creating a new namespace for test pages, which is not a bad idea, and I am planning on having a new namespace (School:) for our long-planned administrator school. Plus, if we made a namespace for test pages, what would we use Main: namespace for? We'd be one of the only wikis to have no or almost no pages in our main namespace. At any rate, note that bureaucrats on TestWiki don't have access to managewiki, as that is within the permissions of consuls. Your edits have been fine, you've been reverting all your tests in the reverse order performed, and have generally been following our policies, I guess my only concern, really, aside from wanting to know what you want to test with the bureaucrat bit, is how you came to discover and add the Category:TestWiki sockpuppets of Bugambilia category to category test? Can you describe for me your thought process, and walk me through the steps that caused you to discover that category? With that answered, as well as what you want to use the bureaucrat bit for, I'd be much more inclined to grant you the bit. Dmehus (talk) 01:35, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Bugambilia? I don’t know but I think I just typed test and it was on the top so I put it just as test. Actually, I’m Korean so I don’t know some words such as ‘sockpuppet’ and ‘Bugambilia’. Thanks. I’ll email you the screenshot that can prove my Wikimedia account is me since I don’t want to publicly display my another account. Sincerely, Scian (talk) 01:52, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

@Scian: Sure, e-mail works, you can use this secure e-mail link. When you say you just typed "test" using HotCat, do you mean in the HotCat search bar to search for a category? Dmehus (talk) 01:54, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Yes. Exactly. I sent u email. Scian (talk) 01:59, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Note: sockpuppet: 다중 계정, Bugambilia: 그냥 사용자 이름(고유명사).--Gomdoli4696 (talk) 01:57, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Gomdoli4696 (talk) 05:12, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

You have had administrator for less than half an hour. Generally at least 24 hours should be wanted as well as a reason, which was not provided here (user rights can be tested as a sysop). Naleksuh (talk) 05:18, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

More, I want to use this permission's function. --Gomdoli4696 (talk) 13:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

@Gomdoli4696: You are generally productive and helpful on Meta; however, this is a bit soon after requesting the sysop flag. So, while this may seem mildly bureaucratic (no pun intended), I've placed this request on hold until some time tomorrow, after which time it can be granted by any bureaucrat. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 14:36, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

@Gomdoli4696: I've looked through your edits, which have been constructive, and you've even managed to find a new test page, rollback test, that we didn't have and is potentially useful. Please continue to follow TestWiki:Policies, revert all tests in the reverse order performed, and generally continue editing in both the constructive and communicative manner in which you've been doing. As such, this is now  Done. Dmehus (talk) 02:31, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I can see you're prepping some pages to test Special:Nuke, so I didn't want to hold you up any further as it's been roughly 24 hours since you requested sysop. Dmehus (talk) 02:34, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

• Requested group/permission: Interface Administrator
• Reason for requesting: I would like to try out the WikiForum extension here.

R4356th (talk) 19:44, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Please ensure you follow TestWiki:Policies, and revert any tests performed in the reverse order. Noting your reason, you've also given me a good reason to enable WikiForum, as I've been contemplating doing just that. Dmehus (talk) 19:47, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much. R4356th (talk) 19:53, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that you had to add me to the Forum Administrators user group, too. And I do not have permission to enable or disable any extension. R4356th (talk) 19:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

 Done --Synoman Barris (talk) 21:35, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

@R4356th: No problem, and yeah, I didn't add forumadmin, mainly because the WikiForum administrator and moderator permissions are included within sysop, which anyone can request on TestWiki and which @Synoman Barris: has now granted you. Dmehus (talk) 21:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

• Reason for requesting: I'm admin and bureaucrat in freewiki.miraheze.org. I want to test admin's and bureaucrat's work.

Whitetiger0423 (talk) 00:09, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

@Whitetiger0423:  Done. Please make sure you've read and that you adhere to TestWiki:Policies, especially TestWiki:Main policy and TestWiki:Testing policy, reverting all tests in the reverse order in which you originally performed them. As a best practice, it's recommended that for test blocks, you either test on yourself or on User:Example. Thanks.

For bureaucrat, you may request that separately after at least 24 hours and 10 edits. Dmehus (talk) 00:14, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I'll check them. Thanks ;D --Whitetiger0423 (talk) 00:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

 Done. Your tests look fine. Dmehus (talk) 01:08, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Oh, how fast you are! Thank you very much. --Whitetiger0423 (talk) 01:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

@Whitetiger0423: Heh, no problem. I should also note that on TestWiki, bureaucrats don't have access to ManageWiki, but if there's something you would like to test (i.e., an extension, an approved skin, or some other setting), you can {{ping}} any Consul from your user talk page or message them on theirs. We're pretty accommodating with reasonable use cases. You can, if you're so inclined, also action permissions requests, so long as you aware of of the criteria for granting for each group, and it's a good practice to tell them something similar to what I told you in your administrator request. Dmehus (talk) 01:15, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

I understand. I will ping to you if I need to. Thanks! --Whitetiger0423 (talk) 01:19, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
