Your advanced permissions on mediawiki

Superpes15 (talkcontribs)

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for 2 years) on this wiki. Since this wiki, to the best of our knowledge, does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on the local Village Pump of this wiki. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at the m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, please request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Yours faithfully.

supressredirect user right

Hi !

I'm having trouble renaming an article that I published a few weeks ago (Choreutis nemorana) because I can't give it a name which is already that of a redirection page, but when I want to modify the name of the redirection page it creates automatically a page with the same name, I'm stuck in an endless loop, help!

I need the supressredirect right to get out of this vicious circle,

Could you give it to me please?


Thank you,

Simon Thevenin

How we will see unregistered users

MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs)

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Notice: Admin activity review

MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs)

Hello VasilievVV,

I hope that this message finds you well.

I am writing to inform you that you may lose your adminship (and other advanced permissions) on mediawiki.org because of inactivity.

A policy regarding the removal of advanced permissions (e.g.: administrator, bureaucrat, interface-admin, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. While initially that policy did not apply to this site, the mediawiki.org community decided in August 2020 to opt-in.

You are being notified because we have identified that your account meets the inactivity criteria stated in the policy: no edits and no administrative log actions for the last 2 years.

  • If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community (at Project:Current issues) about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on said page. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your advanced permissions, please contact the stewards at the stewards noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish for you to continue to maintain your advanced permissions.
  • If you wish to resign your advanced permissions, you may do so by filing a request for removal on Meta-Wiki.
  • If there is no response at all on one month after this notification, the stewards will proceed to remove your advanced permissions without further notice.

In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review.

If you have any questions, please let me know or feel free to message us at the stewards. If you feel we've made a mistake and your account is active, we'd also appreciate to let us know, and please accept our apologies.

Best regards,

Hello. There is an RFC for the removal of inactive bureaucrats and interface administrators. As this might affect you, your input at the RfC is greatly appreciated. ~~~~

Are you still maintaining CloseWikis?

You are currently listed as a maintainer for Extension:CloseWikis, but I saw that the extension is still in SVN. Are you still maintaining it? If not, I hope to take over the maintenance of this extension and move it into Gerrit. Is this okay for you?

I'm a total noob and i'm trying to edit a wiki article on George "Joji" Miller (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Miller) but when i apply changes i get a popup claiming that the title of the page is blacklisted. I did some looking up and found that you were the creator of this feature.

So in hindsight, could you please explain why i and other people are not allowed to edit this particular page?

Did you make this with or without the visual editor?

VasilievVV (talkcontribs)

Without. And apparetnly it broke the editor, at least for me.

Jasper Deng (talkcontribs)

It broke it for me too. Which is why only admins can use wikitext.
