Wikipedia Requests

Wikipedia Test-Wiki is for developers.

Please read this: This wiki does not exist for users to test out random nonsense on an exhaustive basis; it's here for developers to check that changes to the code aren't going to cripple the live sites. See also: WP:WWD and WP:NOT.

As a result, administrator status is still not going to be given out to all and sundry. This isn't an arena for you to play with the tools, or mess about, nor is it somewhere you should be testing your bots, etc. - If you want a place that is for you to test out sysop tools, etc, try these sites.

Having said that, if you do need administrator status for a particular reason, request this status and ensure that your userpage here is linked to your home wiki project.

• Motive for request: I need test blocking via api on the Wikimedia website
• Requested rights:sysop (temp - for the 1 month)
• Comments: For the testing blocking my alternate accounts via API

  Not done as you are not a sysop on any production sites. Suggest you try your tests on one of these site: Wikipedia:Requests/Tools. Xaosflux (talk) 19:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Minorax

• Minorax (talk • message • email • contribs (deleted • global) • stalk • CA • moves • summary • count • logs • block log • block • rights)
• Motive for request: I don't really need this right for testing purposes but considering that there are only a handful of "active" crats, I'd like to help out in granting rights, etc.
• Requested rights: Bureaucrat
• Comments:

@Minorax: if someone asks for interface administrator access here, what would you need to consider first? Xaosflux (talk) 14:26, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Considering that it’s the most sensitive user right, the first thing that I’d consider is that if they have iadmin rights somewhere else, preferably a medium or large wiki. Secondly, if the reason for requesting the iadmin rights is not needed (i.e. can be configured as a user script for testing), I will not grant the right. Minorax (talk) 16:08, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Not done we don't really need more 'crats right now (I think we really have way too many as it is with 60 on this tiny project as it is). Feel free to help out with any requests for File movers, Rollbackers, Account creators, Confirmed users, Template editors and IP block exemptions though. You will probably find requests here are rather infrequent. Xaosflux (talk) 00:16, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

• Requested rights: sysop
• Comments: Not done as you do not hold access on any production systems, and your request if very vague. Xaosflux (talk) 14:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

• Ahmad252 (talk • message • email • contribs (deleted • global) • stalk • CA • moves • summary • count • logs • block log • block • rights)
• Motive for request: I'm a sysop and intadmin on fawiktionary. Almost all the technical stuff there (such as Twinkle) are too old, and I'd like testing the new version first. I'm also planning on porting Twinkle to Commons, and I need this right for that purpose as well. I'll need to test Twinkle administrative features, and to delete all the test pages I create. I will make sure my test edits won't interfere with other edits. In the future, I will most probably have more things to do here. I will also help in the backlogs here, things like granting rights that I can grant (e.g. rollback) to eligible users, deleting pages etc, if needed. If there are any questions, please ask. Thank you. Ahmad^talk 20:56, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
• Requested rights: Administrator
• Comments: {{not done}} your task would require interface admin access as well, and as you do not have permentant intadmin access on any production project this shouldn't be extended here. You can test what you want in 2 ways already: (1) use a non-WMF production cluster wiki such as the beta wiki or one of these:Wikipedia:Requests/Tools. (2) you should be able to test code tweaks to anything that runs user-side in user sandboxes. Xaosflux (talk) 14:25, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Thanks. I was mostly looking for deletion option to look after the mess I might create. I will try using a non-WMF wiki, or a local one. Ahmad^talk 15:42, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Template:RE don't worry about leaving messes in User:Ahmad252/subpages, if you want them gone later just drop a {{speedy}} tag on it and we will purge them eventually. Xaosflux (talk) 15:52, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: (Not making a new request as this one is still open.) With the help of one of Twinkle developers, I could use it as a user script, so I don't need to have it as a gadget (and so I don't need interface adminship). However, I'd like to be a sysop here so that I can test Twinkle's administrative features (block, delete, protect, batch protect, batch (un)delete) before importing it to Commons. Delete and protect modules are almost ready now, so I think I can make use of the toolset. Can you please review this request again? Thank you. Ahmad^talk 21:13, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

 Done added sysop based on your recent +sysop'ing at commonswiki. Xaosflux (talk) 21:39, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Ahmad^talk 15:08, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

SchlurcherBot

• Motive for request: I'm a bot on commons. I'm trying direct API request according to [1]. So far it worked but I also want to test that they get properly marked as Bot edits. According to the API manual the account needs to be a bot for this to work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SchlurcherBot 15:24, 21 January 2020 (talk • contribs)

The following request has been closed by Xaosflux (talk) 21:22, 6 January 2020 (UTC) as Not done.

Closing rationale: Referred to testwikidata

• Eihel (talk • message • email • contribs (deleted • global) • stalk • CA • moves • summary • count • logs • block log • block • rights)
• Motive for request: Hello (@Xaosflux and Addshore:), I have developed a Property for demonstration. With this in mind, I would like to obtain administrator status on test.wikidata.org in order to protect the page, then subsequently unprotect it when the utility is obsolete. To keep the consistency, those who pass on this property should not change the content, as well as those I invite to view it. I already have a great experience, I'm Property creator on WD. Sincerely and happy new year 2020. —Eihel (talk) 20:10, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
• Requested rights: Administrator on test.wikidata.org
• Comments: @Eihel: testwiki doesn't have "properties" are you trying to gain access to testwikidata? Xaosflux (talk) 20:21, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

  Not done @Eihel: this is the wrong page, please request at testwikidata:Wikidata:Requests for permissions. Xaosflux (talk) 20:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

  You are right, @Xaosflux:. The page is not obvious, because it is not mentioned in a link on testwd. On testwikidata:Wikidata: Main Page (copy of Main Page here), there is a link to Wikipedia:Requests/Tools to obtain tools and right. Sorry. To make sure I did this correctly, I knew that Jura1 had applied for testwd as well. —Eihel (talk) 21:59, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

  @Eihel: once you are an admin over there you can fix it :) Xaosflux (talk) 22:37, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
