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.

While I am hesitant to grant this right given the past malformed requests and the fact that your only 10 edits came from your user page, I’m going to grant this request.   Done However, 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.

  Revoked per CheckUser analysis which proves a connection to ApexAgunomu. Very unfortunate that she keeps socking and keeps proving that a global unban is not in the future. Agent Isai Talk to me! 01:22, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bureaucrat is a role of advanced trust and you're a relatively new user. There is nothing an bureaucrat can do that an admin can't so I am declining this for now. Agent Isai Talk to me! 23:34, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would consider HeyTurkiye pretty trustworthy, but he has not been an admin and has not made 10 edits, so I think this promotion may be a bit contentious. Blad (talk) 01:12, 10 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Okay, thanks for accepting my request and for the information. I apologize if I came off as impatient, I just wanted to make sure I did all the requirements, and the page was a little unclear on whether I should apply at one or both places.

LC Developer (Bureaucrat)

  • Status:   Declined by Naleksuh
  • User: LC Developer ( talk · contribs · deleted · logs · rights · CentralAuth )
  • Requested group/permission: Bureaucrat
  • Reason for requesting: I would like to continue testing the tools as a Bureaucrat. I also would like to grant other users the rights they need/want to test and learn on here. I am familiar with the policies surrounding bureaucratship, adminship, and TestWiki in general. I have not abused my admin rights and am very active in this community. I have met the 10-edit requirement (I have about 50) and the 24hr requirement.

LC Developer (talk) 18:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bureaucrat is normally granted to established users only. I have no issues with this request but I'd like to wait a little longer before granting. Agent Isai Talk to me! 19:46, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Agent Isai: I understand, but I would like to test with crat permissions and grant new users administrator permissions. I am somewhat established, and am very active here. I am also an admin and crat on my home wiki. Is there anything I can do/answer that would make you feel more comfortable?
In addition, I sometimes see edits with permissions being granted tagged with Tag:userRightsManagerTW. If granted crat rights, how do I install the gadget? LC Developer (talk) 19:57, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Some of the changes you have mad were useful but I would like to avoid granting bureaucrat now as it has not been that long and I have had to revert a lot of the changes (for example, protecting a MediaWiki page at sysop level even though non-sysops can't edit it anyway). There should be no issue with granting it eventually but not yet Naleksuh (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Naleksuh: Okay, I completely understand. I need to learn a little more before gaining this right. What do you mean by eventually? A few hours, days, weeks, months, years? LC Developer (talk) 20:05, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Firstly, editing a message to add a ping will not ping smoeone. See w:template:ping fix for more info. Second, I meant more like a week or so rather than months/years. It's not considered a high-trust role like consul is, but not something to grant very readily Naleksuh (talk) 20:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for the information about pinging. I will reapply in about a week and once I have gained more experience. LC Developer (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
