Requesting for temporary adminship and interface adminship for regular housekeeping and maintenance tasks. The Discoverer (talk) 18:40, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Terasail@wikifunctionswiki

I requested adminship on 29 September and have now closed the request. Terasail^[✉️] 12:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@Terasail I'm not sure if the emerging wikifuctions community operates differently, but in general someone should not determine a conclusion for their own request when others are available. There appear to be many other active admins that could have closed that. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:47, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

There is no real policy on closing anything at the moment, and since there was no opposition/apparent concerns with the request, I just decided to close it myself and post here (I wouldn't have if there was). Essentially filling out the paperwork myself instead of passing it onto someone else. I don't think it is right for me to make someone else go through the motions of making a request when I have been completing quite a few requests, and I am happy to make the requests where others may be less interested in doing so. Terasail^[✉️] 15:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

My comment isn't about filing out the request here (this is solely paperwork as you called out), but about closing local community discussions where the subject has a conflict of interest with the outcome. If some other steward wants to action this now I'm not going to complain, but would rather see the local discussion have some sort of separation as it is possible. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:13, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

I see the issue with self closing my request but i'm not sure how much of an issue it is here but just to avoid any issues I have reverted the close on WF. Terasail II (talk) 18:55, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

On hold, pending local closure. FWIW @Terasail II: that discussion doesn't appear to meet the There must be at least 5 votes. requirement from f:Wikifunctions:Administrators#Requirements yet either. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux Thats probably on me, when I made the page I copied the Permanent Administrator section but WF just uses MVR so this is a temporary adminship request. Terasail^[✉️] 23:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@Terasail ah ok, if no one acts on that discussion in a day or two we can close this here along the way we would for other S/M wiki requests. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Don't think a local closure by other users is needed in this case. Time passed, we can proceed with the temporary flag, often several users, even if there are others active, close their RfA or directly asks for the flag and I don't see any issue! It's up to us to evaluate the consensus and the outcome and decide whether (and for how long) to assign the flag (regardless of the outcome indicated by the author of the RfA) ;) Obviously, with a larger community, the procedure should be different :D Superpes15 (talk) 00:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15 agree. I was only listing that as an option (if it was closed locally it could be done). I put the short delay as that discussion was just reopened. If you want to proceed without delay, no objection. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:47, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Yep, it’s reasonable! I fully understand, and actually there’s no rush :) Let’s just wait a little bit more! Btw, surely they will create a standard procedure for the RfAs soon :) Superpes15 (talk) 01:02, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

I have now closed the RFA as successful. --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Despite my previous local adminship request on September 29, there has been no response.

Hi @B20180:, I didn't understand why there are so many votes, almost all from users who have never been active on thwikibooks, or who have been inactive for years. It looks like a sort of canvassing, so I didn't count any votes, and I granted the flag for 3 months. In 3 months please have a clean election, without any external support (and, if there are no active users on the project, even an election without any votes is fine), thanks for your understanding --Superpes15 (talk) 09:57, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Maybe it's because I announced it via Mediawiki:Sitenotice on Thai Wikipedia. Because not many people are interested in the Wikibooks project. However, thank you for your clarification so that the election will be more appropriate in the future. --B20180 (talk) 10:23, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

虹色分子@zhwikiquote

Requesting for temporary adminship for the first time with no opposition.——虹色分子 (talk) 21:46, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@Ericliu1912: I'm sorry, but my translator doesn't work fine, so I can't understand the discussion, even using it. Do you express some concerns or is everything fine? I'm prone to grant a 3-months flag, thanks. Superpes15 (talk) 09:48, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

No opposition, but no support either. The only IP supported him is an LTA, so that shouldn't count. Personally, I think that him applied for the right so rapidly (4 requests in 2 months), and he carelessly sent welcome templates to those LTA accounts and IPs (quite questionable behaviour to be justified if as an administrator), but I've already opposed him for the previous 3 times, it's morally difficult for me to do that again. —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 01:26, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

And he don't know how to substitute a welcome template. I'm a bit more concerned now, and may have to actually oppose the hasty request again. —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 01:58, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

After your reminder, I never made any related edits again. I executed your orders every time. I wonder why you will think this is suspicious behavior. You are the only opponent every time I apply. What is your intention? I have never done abuse editing on any other project, but you compare me to LTA. Are you really make a project better or just trying to attack others enthusiasm? If you just want to object me, you will come up with a whole new reason every time I apply, although these reasons are not fair for denying eligibility for election as admin. All in all, even if no one supports me, it doesn’t matter to me from continuing to apply. One of the current admin has only edited once in two years and you still think appropriate to continue to stay as admin according to policy, I am the editor with the largest number of edits, I applying for an admin just out of my enthusiasm, but you haven't given any clear reason for your objection that is in line with the policy.虹色分子 (talk) 14:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

I do not have sufficient time to dig in that much for previous requests, so I hope you don't see it as a potential exploitation, but rather further foundings to help you improve as a potential candidate for advanced rights. If I don't remind you now, are you going to keep that kinds of edit behaviour in the future? And I think that it is totally on your side for applying too rapidly, which is normally not acceptable in many other occasions. Though if you promise that you will make better upon, a 3-months flag should be fine, I guess. —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 16:44, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Indeed, per MVR policy policy, we can give only 3-month flag in this case. Since there is no clear opposition, the flag can be granted, there is no need for supporting votes --Superpes15 (talk) 11:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Mustafa MVC@trwikiquote

Since I lost my 2FA codes, after several emails with ca@wikimedia.org, I got this authorization and 2FA was removed at the same time. Now I have 2FA again and I think there is no need for a discussion again for this authorization. Mustafa MVC (talk) 16:01, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

If WMF removed, then it's up to WMF to restore. If they decline to restore, then we have to go through normal processes and a new discussion is required, especially since this was in practice a concern related to account security. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:48, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Mustafa MVC:! Have you contacted WMF for this issue? Thanks :) --Superpes15 (talk) 17:57, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, of course. I was directed here by WMF. I sent an email back after @AmandaNP's message, but I haven't received a response yet.Mustafa MVC (talk) 14:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Short answer is: WMF can decide who doesn't get access to certain things, but communities decide who does get access to this sort of thing. It appears that WMF has removed their restriction on you being allowed to have this access again in the future - meaning you need a showing of community support. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:38, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Asking for a new RfA doesn't seems the correct procedure imho. If I lose my scratch codes and my 2FA access, WMF can disable the 2FA so I can re-activate it but, in the meantime, they're obliged to temporary remove my 2FA-mandatory rights for security reason. I've never lost access to my account nor has my password been compromised so, when they are sure that I've access to the account and I've enabled 2FA again, the 2FA-mandatory flags can be restored. I don't see the sense in having to, for example, wait for the stewards election or to apply again for GIE/GS/IA! Normally, in case of account compromise, it could be as you say (per policy it could happen), but when the situation concerns this kind of security issue (2FA - and not account - loss) there is no need to be so bureaucratic imho. The community already supported them a few months ago, imho no problems here if WMF confirms that we can restore the flag, but I'll wait for other opinions! Superpes15 (talk) 21:30, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15 failure to maintain operations for one's own account is something that could potentially cause a loss of support from a community. Agree this can be nuanced, thus why I didn't notdone this request, I'm open that others may approve still. If there was a standard showing of community support I would have closed already. tqwikiq is certainly a small project and what is best there may not be the same as if this was from a much larger project. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:30, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Absolutely understand the point and I agree with you, actually we have to evaluate the situation on a case-by-case basis, there are a lot of things to take into consideration and surely in a big project the issue is different! Let’s wait for another opinion and, in the meantime, also for @JSutherland (WMF): confirmation that everything is ok :) Superpes15 (talk) 22:49, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I am confident that Mustafa MVC has access to his account now. I see where Xaos is coming from, though I personally think it's harsh to force someone to re-take community voting etc. because they lost their 2FA for whatever reason. The reasons one might lose 2FA are quite broad, of course, could be negligence, could be a stolen phone. Perhaps we need to talk more about the general process at a Stewards call. Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 23:25, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

The problem we are running into here, is the unwritten rule/general practice for stewards is not to regrant a right after it is removed without community consensus, even after resignations. It's not that we want to withhold the right, but it's a matter of setting the general practice to be something different, and then user think we move into the territory of restoring permissions after resignation/removal and we have to tell them no, and then they point to requests like this. That's why we require a new community vote. I hesitate to action this because of that, and I think pending a fresh vote, this may stall out till the next stewards meeting. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm sure we can discuss (and perhaps update) our practices in case of temporary removal for security reasons, but I agree that, as there is no clear consensus to act here, a new local RfIA would resolve the issue before the meeting!

@Mustafa MVC: Have you thought about opening it? Thanks for the understanding! Superpes15 (talk) 21:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I could not react immediately to the developments because I have nothing else to say. I am waiting for a response to my email before starting a new local discussion. I guess if I don't get a response for a few more days I will start a new discussion as you said. Thanks. Mustafa MVC (talk) 15:47, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

@Mustafa MVC short answer: make the local discussion and this should get resolved in a week. Or wait, likely a couple of weeks. We will go over this in the next WMF/Stewards meeting for how to address in the future. — xaosflux ^Talk 02:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux Hi, I've submitted an application to the community again, but I'm not sure how long it will take since the community in question is not a very large one. Generally, nominations are terminated as soon as they meet the requirements. Even if there is a community decision in the meantime, it would be helpful to determine how this authorization will be provided in such cases, in case other users have such bad luck in the future. Mustafa MVC (talk) 18:48, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, this question will still happen in the steward meeting regardless of if you get local consensus. And as for your current request, as long as their is no opposition after 1 week and meets the other minor considerations at MVR then we can grant it after that 1 week. -- Amanda (she/her) 21:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello again, eveyone. Was this discussed at the meeting? Can you let me know? By the way, the situation in Turkish Wikiquote is only 2 supports for now. I'm not sure if it's enough, I guess you can decide if it's enough or not. Because it is not a very active community. Mustafa MVC (talk) 17:20, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

@Mustafa MVC our meeting is this week, please drop a link to the discussion so we can action this for now. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:30, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

I was granted adminship on the Yiddish Wikipedia two weeks ago (here). Now, I'd like to request Interface Administrator access as well. 2FA is enabled. Thank you. וויקיפּעדלער (talk) 02:58, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Edgar Allan Poe@sh.wikipedia

As per the discussion linked above, I would like to request that the Stewards assign Bureaucrat privileges to me. As per our rules and guidelines (see here), the conditions have been met (a month-long discussion, a minimum of 15 votes and at least 80% for the decision), which is why this request is made. I am posting this request here despite the fact that we do have two bureaucrats on the project, but as you can see here, my fellow colleagues have not been active for almost three (Igor) and six (OC Ripper) months, and they haven't even participated in the voting process, which means that there is no local sysop to assign me to this user group, which is why the request was made here. Thank you in advance! Edgar Allan Poe (talk) 00:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

@Edgar Allan Poe: I sent an email to Igor Windsor and OC Ripper! Will wait a few more days :) --Superpes15 (talk) 01:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15: No problem, thank you! :) Edgar Allan Poe (talk) 01:57, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15: Hellou! :) It's been a week since we last talked, and I suppose you haven't received a reply from either of my colleagues? We do have several requests that need to be taken care of locally (a new admin and a bot), so if you think we've waited long enough, the community would be happy to have these things taken care of! :D Edgar Allan Poe (talk) 23:50, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Edgar Allan Poe:, I confirm I didn't get any reply! We are still discussing, as you can imagine assigning a flag, in a wiki where there are local groups that can do it, is not an easy thing. We kindly ask you to wait a little longer and we'll inform you of the outcome (and in the meantime there's also a few more days of waiting for a possible return of the local 'crats). Many thanks for your patience :) Superpes15 (talk) 00:05, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15: No problem, I shall contact you again after a few days have passed, but please do consider that the local 'crats are inactive and that the state of things is as if there were no local 'crats, as the two of them are not present. Thank you for your reply! :) Edgar Allan Poe (talk) 00:16, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15 I don't see anything on our ML for this, absent any steward objections I'm ready to promote based on the prolonged complete global inactivity of the local crats on shwiki. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:11, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: We talked on IRC about it, I was waiting some other days because a local 'crat was contacted privately by a user who personally knows them, this is the reason why I still didn't give the flag and was waiting (I decided to wait 2 weeks) but, since the 'crat didn't reply atm, I'm giving the flag ;)

Done Superpes15 (talk) 18:25, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Ferien@wikifunctionswiki

Unfortunately I have not found as much time to contribute to this project as I would have liked. I have used the tools a couple of times for importing, but haven't actually used any other tools yet. Considering I won't have the time to improve my activity or actually use the tools in the next month before it expires on 8 November, I may as well just resign the tools already instead of holding onto them when I'm not using them. This is something I've already thought about, so if it's easier for stewards to skip the 24 hours hold, you are welcome to. Thanks in advance, --Ferien (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio just wondering why interface admin removal was requested here instead of you doing it yourself as a local crat? DannyS712 (talk) 19:23, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Hmm, oversight on my part I guess; since I did remove the CNA permissions from those that had 'em. No harm done in any case. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:39, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Albatros777@uzwiki

We don't yet have inactivity policy, so the global policy on admin activity applies. We've discussed the matter locally and everyone is in favor of desysoping the user for inactivity (2+ years). Nataev ^talk 13:28, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

 On hold until 29 October. The AAR usually takes place on January. Since there is a local consensus to deflag, however, we can proceed. I'd just say wait a few days, since the discussion started on 22 October, and I'd wait at least a week before proceeding. Thanks for your understanding! --Superpes15 (talk) 10:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Done I thank Albatros777 for their work. @Nataev: I suggest you to create and discuss a local inactivity policy and notify stewards about that. This way, there would be no need for local discussions, and there would be no need to wait for (or carry out) the AAR! Thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 12:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you. I've started a discussion on adopting our own policy. Nataev ^talk 15:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Please grant translation administrator per local discussion. Thanks! Ameisenigel (talk) 13:18, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Done @Ameisenigel: Waiting for a definitive procedure and based on MVR policy, I granted the flag for 1 year. In the meantime, while the project becomes definitively active and bureaucrats are appointed (and considering that local sysops can still flag themselves translation admins), imho it's the best duration for the temporary flag, thanks. --Superpes15 (talk) 13:33, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
