This is the page to request attention from test administrators, administrators and bureaucrats. Note what they can do.

Administrators can:

  • protect and unprotect pages
  • delete and undelete pages
  • delete images and other uploaded files
  • block and unblock users
  • edit the interface and other protected pages

Test administrators can do the same, but only within their tests (therefore they cannot edit the interface).

Bureaucrats can do all the above, as well as:

  • grant administrator/bureaucrat status
  • rename users
  • grant/revoke bot flags

Note: Only Stewards may remove adminship or bureaucratship. If you want this to be done go to Requests for permissions at the Meta-Wiki.

If there is no response, you may wish to try the IRC channel, irc://irc.freenode.net/#wikimedia-incubator.

[edit] Waste of Wikimedia money by russian nationalist vandals

It is well-known, that Wikipedia in so-called "Padonki" pseudo-language is denied by community: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Denied#Padonki_.2831_support.2C_27_oppose.29

So may we know, when they will cease to waste money of Wikimedia Foundation and use incubator disk space for their test "wikipedia"? When this mockery at East-Slavonic Languages will be stopped at last? When they will cease to write in criminal nationalistic slang in international Wikipedia?

[edit] Proposing deletion of Belarusian (normative) test

The test wp/be/ was transferred to a be: two months ago. Its presence here is needed no more. I'm putting this request as one of the active contributors top to those test. Yury Tarasievich 10:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

No need to vote about that :-) I will delete the test later today. — Timichal 14:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Khm... Today? Really? Alessandro 19:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
That's a long day... :) I will do it. SPQRobin 10:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Pff... It is very very much... I will do the rest next week. SPQRobin 12:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I blame my laziness... it's deleted now. — Timichal 15:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. Did you do that with a bot? SPQRobin 15:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transwiki of pages from other projects

Hello. I work on the test of the Ancient Greek Wikisource. Currently there are some ready pages in Ancient Greek at the Greek Wikisource (http://el.wikisource.org/). I wanted to ask if it is necessary to transwiki those pages, in order to preserve the previous history at a special page, or is it OK to write down the history at the talk page of each article & template, as I did so far? --Dead3y3 01:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Answered on IRC. — Timichal 09:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Add the kab wiki in the main page

The kabyle wiki test is not listed in the main page: http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/kab http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Kabyle_Wikipedia Toira 01:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. — Timichal 09:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin policy

Considering the size of the core community here, the requirement for 4 votes for new admins seems too high. SPQRobin requested adminship on 28 May but no one commented on that request at all until he pointed it out to me and I supported his request. Considering there was a backlog of several hundred pages listed for speedy deletion until I cleared them yesterday, there is obviously a need for new admins. Should the policy be relaxed so that new people do have some chance of becoming admins here? Angela 15:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say yes; however (as you've probably noticed) I'm by no means an active contributor here any more, so I'm not sure if I'm really qualified to judge the situation here. Judging by what you've said here (about the number of active users etc.) your conclusion seems entirely reasonable: go ahead. Dbmag9 20:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I think nobody will answer anymore. Should it be ok, or what now? SPQRobin 15:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism or unnecessary pages

here -Markvondeegel 15:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, deleted. It is added to Incubator:Cascade so it can't be recreated anymore. SPQRobin 16:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Contribs of Macedonæë He needs to be blocked, he is a vandal. --Keræk 18:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree, block me and User:Belgæë Macedonæë 18:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 41.232.29.85

User:41.232.29.85 has added comments on incubator that I regard as insulting to my religion and to Copts in general. I believe that User:41.232.29.85 on incubator is linked to one of the opposition of wikipedia Masry project . Many thanks. Ghaly 16:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

So [1] was an insulting comment? --MF-W {a, b} 17:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
The comment was written in Masry (Egyptian Arabic) and included ridicule of the Christian belief and Copts, on the other hand,I am happy for any other user who can understand Masry to give opinion about this, or for that matter the user him/herself to explain what was written from her/ his point of view to clarify matters although I am sure of what I understood and take the comment as insulting. Ghaly 17:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Blocked now for 3 days. --18:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Macedonæë, again on English Wikipedia

Image:Usermacedonæëatenglishwikipedia.png What do we've got to do? -Markvondeegel 09:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You've gotto inform them.. thhe best option! --Konghier 09:51, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal: Setting up Automatic Converter

I proposed to install an automatic converter in this wiki on Community Portal.

I know you administrators and bureaucrats do not have such right. I want you to discuss my proposal and request the manager of this server to set up the converter if my proposal is passed. --Yes0song 11:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] pages to delete

You could also write {{delete}} and the reason on them. MF-Warburg 18:32, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please block vandal

VolkswagenKing28 (Talk | contribs) has vandalized WikiAds - moved page [2] and is seriously disrupting the project! Please help! --Benhello! 08:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I can't block him, but I won't do it even if I could. Wiki's are here for everyone to edit. If you can't live with that, you can't live with wiki's. --Ooswesthoesbes 08:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hm, he's a sockpuppeter on en-wp: see en:User:VolkswagenKing28 and en:Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_VolkswagenKing28. MF-Warburg 11:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
That's a reason for a block, but please keep in mind that even in you are the creator of a test or a project you still need to share it with other people, otherwise it won't ever be a real Wikimedia project. --Ooswesthoesbes 11:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Blocked now. And this WikiAds and all this other new projects will be deleted when the new policy is accepted, because it only allows existing Wikimedia projects. MF-Warburg 11:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I've deleted the junk pages and blocked both accounts. --Brion VIBBER 19:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special characters for Tarrifit Language wp/rif

We really need these characters to write in tarrifit :

Ɛ Č Ḍ Ğ Ḥ Γ(Ɣ) Ṛ Ṣ Ṭ Ț Ẓ Ž ε č ḍ ğ ḥ ɣ ṛ ṣ ṭ ţ ẓ ž

Tarrifit language is of the same family as the Kabyle language (Tamaziɣt). The http://kab.wikipedia.org (recently moved from the incubator to wiki main page) have these characters to write their articles. This is the transcription recommended by Salem Chaker, Centre de Recherche Berbère, INALCO. It has been used for the Baccalaureat Exam (equivalent Level A) for more than 10 years first by the Kabyles then by the Riffians.

http://www.inalco.fr/crb/docs_pdf/notation.pdf ---> page 17


I request you to modify the global monobook.js and add these characters. Thank you very much.

Done --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 15:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)


You have done a good work but there is one mistake, it is my fault, not yours at all. Γ(Ɣ) are two different characters. I suggest you to remove the (Ɣ) from Γ(Ɣ) because they are counted as one character in your modification). We'd rather use only the Γ as recommended by the Centre de Recherche Berbère, INALCO.

So please edit the tarrifit special character from Γ(Ɣ) to Γ

Thank you very much for your work. It is now easier to write in Tarrifit in Wikimedia.

Done --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 14:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Special characters for Tachelhit Language wp/shi

we need the same charachter as tarifit's and kabyle's to write in tachelhit, and i advice you to add these characters to tachelhit's monobook.js :

Ɛ Č Ḍ Ğ Ḥ Ɣ Ṛ Ṣ Ṭ Ț Ẓ Ž ε č ḍ ğ ḥ ɣ ṛ ṣ ṭ ţ ẓ ž

thanks a lot.--Ayour 18:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I just changed the name "Tarrifit" to "Tarrifit / Tachelhit" because it has the same characters. SPQRobin 01:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
thank you very much.--Ayour 22:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Done, issue resolved. Anthøny 15:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Our local language : tarrifit, wp/rif

There is one mistake in the main page (http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) of the incubator in the spelling of our local language tarrifit. In the row "local language", it is written tarifit (with one r), the correct spelling is tarrifit (two -r 's). Are we authorised to edit this page so that the mistake could be corrected ?

You can change it by editing Template:Tests. SPQRobin 12:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Done Thank you SPQRobin --Eko 12:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Special character for Sepedi Language wp/nso

We need the following characters to be able to easily add articles in Sepedi;

Š š ȇ ȏ


Thanks in advance. Mohau 09:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Done, Should appear after clearing your cache. SPQRobin 14:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal Wp/ru-old

I one of authors Wp/ru-old. Why the category has been removed and how it to restore? Sasha1506 05:27, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Whole Wp/ru-old has been deleted, because the request was rejected ("ru-old" is an invalid ISO 639 code, and it's not unique enough).
Please contribute to the Russian Wikipedia, and if you'd like to contrinue with working on ru-old, please do it at a non-Wikimedia wiki, for example Incubator Plus.
