But there is nobody to answer it. Shall I still do so? --Caro de Segeda (talk) 11:38, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
@Caro de Segeda: Yes, even with few editors or nobody you should give the opportunity to anyone express their opinion about your request for adminship. There is no problem if no one comment and/or vote, but this opportunity should exist. You can do this creating a topic on the Village Pump, local page for permissions, or some other visible place. After this, please, post the link here. Thank you, stanglavine msg 17:00, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Requesting temporary adminship--Hulged (talk) 07:47, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Pinging MarcoAurelio. --Hulged (talk) 14:31, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 On hold pending steward discussion. I reviewed this request, and I noticed that @Hulged currently have ~500 edits at the wiki where they request adminship, ks.wikipedia. That wouldn't normally be a big issue, but Hulged's enwiki CU block is a big red flag to me, especially considering it apparently included creating a vandalism account in March 2021. As Hulged's enwiki history (significantly longer than their kswiki history) was not discussed in the adminship request, I hesitate to grant advanced rights under those circumstances. Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:27, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
Comment Comment Martin Urbanec Sir, I do agree with the issue you have raised. I am aware about the Hulged's enwiki CU block but there has been a change of editing pattern. The user is helpful at Ks Wiki and can be a good contributor. They have made some mistakes in the past but they are now helpful. May be we can give them a chance to become positive contributor once again. I am sure they won't misuse the toolset. I will leave rest upto you. Thankyou. Iflaq (talk) 13:21, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
@Iflaq @Hulged Hello, I discussed this with other stewards, and we decided to put this request  on hold until 2021-10-10 (a week from now). I informed the community about the CU findings from English Wikipedia, to give everyone the option to comment on them. This is only to make an informed decision possible. Thank you for your understanding. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:18, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Will votes from users not active on ks.wikipedia be considered in the evaluation of the request for local adminship? Jackattack1597 (talk) 19:25, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
@Jackattack1597 I don't see any info on minimum voting requirements on kswiki so I think they'll be counted. I think it's the global edits that matter, not just the edits in kswiki. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 09:42, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
@SHB2000 I would prefer if commenting on election evaluation would be left to the stewards.
@Jackattack1597 Generally speaking, more weight is given to votes by local community members. We don't completely discount any votes though. Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:19, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm requesting temporary administrator (and interface admin) access on Lak Wikipedia. Since there is no community in this WP edition, I posted a formal request on the Forum three weeks ago. Administrator access may be useful since we are planning to conduct a series of seminars on attracting editors to Lak Wikipedia.

The project is still a peaceful place with few active editors. If I'm allowed to continue as a temporary admin I don't mind to remove dust occationally. -- Abuluntu (👨🏼‍💻💬) 12:22, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

I do not see where you started a new discussion? Ruslik (talk) 14:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
It’s probably because there is no response, and I opened it weeks ago. The links above are correct. -- Abuluntu (👨🏼‍💻💬) 15:56, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
It seems like it opened up in January of this year and that your high traffic notification is from July. Is this correct? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 17:47, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
In part. permalink to the nomination I made in august 21. It’s probably an issue with the ancient template used for nominations, so I'd better look into it. I have opened the discussion early to enable active contributors to support my application for permanent adminship. At the moment there is not enough contributors to vote above the limit of 5. -- Abuluntu (👨🏼‍💻💬) 13:08, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
While I understand that, the time since then has allowed the chance for others to have become active. That permission request would have ended the 28th August and we are now almost the end of October. I'm thinking this needs a new 7 day discussion with a post to the high traffic area and then we can proceed. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:58, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
OK. My adminship will end on the 27th. So I'll post one immidiately -- Abuluntu (👨🏼‍💻💬) 17:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

जी, धन्यवाद! मैंने Two-factor authentication सक्रिय कर लिया हूं। कन्हाई प्रसाद चौरसिया (talk) 07:33, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
2FA is now okay. However, while reviewing it, I first stumbled upon [1], which has serious objections to int. admin status previously stated by @1997kB. Even though there are only supports now, I'm unsure whether granting is the correct action here. Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:58, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, yeah I opposed their previous nomination for variety of reasons; I requested them to show relevant experience in managing Gadget space but all I got were links to random pages in MediaWiki namespaces, and one was just Global Twinkle updating itself in their js subpage, which suggested they have no clue about interface admin bit. This notion of competency also got confirmed when I looked at their block log and they blocked an IP indefinitely. In their response all I got is it's because indef IP blocks are being done on meta (I don't know where) so they done it there too. And apart from the incompetency, incivility is what you see in their response. Since I'm already too much involved I didn't find it constructive to ask them again about which tool they going to update or add, and that is still not clear in their nomination. And I also see some sort of canvassing going on here. Out of nowhere two people after your response voted who aren't active on wiki and their response below is just "If you think I'm wrong don't give me the right" without any sort of explanation of their behavior on last nomination. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:14, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello :)

I'm leaving the oversight team on the French Wikipedia and two new oversighters will join very soon. Please remove me the oversight rights on frwiki.

Thank you! — Arkanosis 00:29, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

DerHexer@dewiki

I've decided to take a break as an administrator on dewiki after 15 consecutive years (anniversary today) and not to stand up for volunteer re-election every five years, as I've promised a while ago. This is long planned (which others can confirm) and has various reasons so that there is no need to wait 24 hours to let me rethink about it. Thanks in advance! Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 12:00, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Done. For the record, I confirm that DerHexer informed me a while ago of his intentions to resign. I understand this is a decision he's not taken lightly and as such I'm accepting the request without the customary 24 hours waiting period. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:08, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Vogone@metawiki

The user made their last rename on 05:40, 20 Oct 2020 UTC. As per the policy, their global renamer rights should be removed. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 13:13, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Just a note, does their CN admin need to be removed as last used in 2018. Not strictly steward area (still being discussed on Babel w.r.t. AAR inclusion) but I think is sort of relevant. @CptViraj views? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:20, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi. The discussion is still open, the consensus doesn't seem to have been reached yet. If it have been added to AAR, then IMHO it should be handled in the next run. -- CptViraj (talk) 13:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Okay. Let's just focus on the GRenamer part then. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:46, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

OhanaUnited on Outreach

Per outreach:Wikimedia:Inactivity policy and a discussion at the village pump, inactive users with advanced user rights will have said rights removed. OU posted to his talk that he no longer needs his rights. Unfortunately, while Outreach had a policy for a long time that bureaucrats could remove other bureaucrats, that policy is no longer in effect, so I need a steward to remove the bureaucrat rights for this user on that wiki. @OhanaUnited: for visibility and in case there's something I've misunderstood. —Justin (koavf)TCM 21:18, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Artem Korzhimanov (talk) 09:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Two days of opinions on removal of someone's Administrator bit, seems extremely low to the normal 7 days. Could you explain if there is a local policy overriding the 7 days? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:52, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
@AmandaNP: There is none. However, a much longer discussion was taken upon removal of editor rights and the desicion was to remove. I believe 1) that the arguments given there are also relevant for sysop removal discussion, and 2) it's natural that the removal of the editor rights should also imply removal of the sysop rights (because, actually, sysops are granting editor rights). If you think that this is inappropriate I can reopen the discussion, of course. Artem Korzhimanov (talk) 06:57, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

As WMF Global banned, no idea why their translationadmin and IPBE retains. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:13, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

(non-steward comment) Apparently they have an active bureaucrat and tons of admins so the request doesn't go here. --WhitePhosphorus (talk) 04:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
OK, let's ask @Drbug: if they can handle locally or not. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:21, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Ok, thanks, removed. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 14:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Inactive administrator should be dismissed without discussion according to rules of Esperanto Wikipedia. --Fenikals (talk) 11:36, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Can you please link to the policy? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:54, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
@AmandaNP: for your information AAR and also chapitre 3 of local policy. But local policy says that if an admin didn't contribute more than 1 year, they can be automatically removed. But for this, it requests a notification on the village pump and on the user's talk page. But I couldn't see such a notification except DidiWeidman on village pump, user's talk page. The local community can better assist the stewards in this topic. --Uncitoyentalk 07:36, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
We do AAR once a year, so until then let's proceed according to the local policy. Fenikals, could you leave notices on the user's talk page and at the village pump as per the policy, please? --Base (talk) 15:12, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
@Base: It needs anything to remove DidiWeidman's admin and crat rights? --Uncitoyentalk 16:00, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
We (the Stewards) process AAR in a batch (around each January), for efficiency reasons. And then AAR still requires notifications. We do not remove people's permission without notification. — regards, Revi 21:25, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

@Fenikals: I see a talk page notice was posted already, but local inactivity policy requires a notification both at the talk page and at the discussion board. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:22, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Not done Requirements of local inactivity policy were not met. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Zoranzoki21@srwiki

Inactive administrator during period 03/10/2019 to present days. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Filipović Zoran (talk)

@Filipović Zoran: Hello, can you please clarify why should Zoranzoki21's adminship be revoked? Can you link to the local inactivity policy, please?  On hold until details are provided. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:50, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
@Martin Urbanec: Тhere is a request. Filipović Zoran (talk) 11:30, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Please disregard this request, the user got renamed to "Kizule", so the account is in fact active. --FiliP ██ 21:02, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

The community did not vote to give the account "Kizule" administrator privileges Filipović Zoran (talk) 12:08, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
@Filipović Zoran User "Zoranzoki21" simply got renamed to "Kizule" on 18 September 2020 (see [3]). That's perfectly normal, dozens of accounts get renamed each and every day, following the global rename policy. Since it's in fact the same account (just with a changed name), rights stay assigned. You can even see the original promotion log now has the same username. Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:40, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
@Martin Urbanec Now I understand. I didn't know that a user "Zoranzoki21" when the community voted to get administrator rights could change the username because the community didn't vote for user "Kizule". Thanks for your advices. Now I see that my request on sr.wiki has been deleted. Filipović Zoran (talk) 13:47, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Not done then --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:22, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requests

Sakura emad@ckbwiki

Hello, Please Grant me Importer Rights for two months, The tool will be used to import Pages (Templates, Modules) From other projects Such as English and Simple wiki thank you. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 17:18, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

@Sakura emad: xmlimport can be dangerous, would transwiki importer meet your project's needs sufficiently? — xaosflux Talk 18:57, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
@Xaosflux i think i don't need Upload XML data for next two months, what i currently in need is Importing Files from another wiki not Uploading it. i think it allows me to select a wiki to import pages along with Revision dates and editor's name as well, that's all i need for now thank you. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 19:10, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
In that case "Transwiki importer" would be more appropriate than "importer". Note the current ckbwiki administrators may also already do this. If you need additional wiki's added to the drop-down box they can be added via a phab request such as this one: phab:T54633. — xaosflux Talk 23:34, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: Then Please grant me "Transwiki importer" : also i am well aware of that phab:T54633, however i am still in need to do my works by myself faster and easier than requesting frequently. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 00:17, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
One of the stewards should come by to action this shortly, as TWI is safer than IMP - I suspect so long as you have support from a project local admin (such as User:Aram) this shouldn't be much of an issue even though your local discussion didn't have lagre participation. It is probably pending a steward that can read or is comfortable translating Central Kurdish. Aram, as an established int-admin at ckbwiki - do you have anything to add here? — xaosflux Talk 15:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
@Aram Supported me to get the Right no more than two Months, FurtherMore i've acted accordingly, i thought i can pass even without any supports? as long as there isn't any oppositions 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 15:40, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi Xaosflux, Thank you for pinging me. I've come to the conclusion that User:Sakura emad intends to import image files along with templates, modules, and such pages from other wikis (such as enwiki) to ckbwiki, rather than XML files. So, Transwiki importer is what User:Sakura emad wants only for two months. Thank you again! Aram (talk) 21:15, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
@Xaosflux i wonder if it is hard to get Transwiki importer for only two months, i even acted accordingly to the criteria, :/ so why it takes too long?. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 21:29, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
@Sakura emad: please be patient, a steward will review and action this request soon. — xaosflux Talk 01:23, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
i am 😊 Thank you again. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 01:25, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

The transwiki permission request has been approved by local sysop. —— Eric LiuTalk 06:14, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Why the bot keeps adding signature verification? This right does not need that. —— Eric LiuTalk 06:30, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
@Krd: Do you mind fixing that? This is a misc request, not a CU/OS request, which usually doesn't need a signature. Thanks, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Hopefully fixed. --Krd 13:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Still not apparently. Or shall we create another template for misc? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:39, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
I though that thing would restart automatically, but it appears it needed a poke. Should be ok now. (If it goes wrong again, I will recode it from scratch.) --Krd 14:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
@Ericliu1912: Apparently it's a bug in the bot's code . Don't worry, the stewards will simply ignore that part, knowing a signature's not actually needed. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
