Adminship [edit]

Angela [edit]

I made myself an admin temporarily so I could fix the logo and delete a little bit of vandalism (logs) but I'd rather that was made official through community support rather than me just making myself one, so I'm applying here. My reasons for wanting this are that I think this could be a very interesting wiki for the Foundation and has a lot of potential in ensuring the project as a whole continues to expand and to move towards meeting its goal of providing content in all languages. I also love being involved in new wikis, which is a large reason I'd like to be active on this one, especially in its early stages. I'm an admin on the English and Simple English Wikipedias and on Meta and the Foundation wiki, and formerly an admin on the Arabic and Korean Wikipedias, and Wikisource. Angela 06:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Timichal [edit]

I requested a temporary adminship (see it here because there wasn't any administrator here and I wanted to do some general cleanup. Now I request a "regular" adminship because I found out I really like the idea of Incubator its capability of helping to grow lots of new Wikimedia projects; and I'd like to help it a bit. I'm a technical kind of person - that means I'd do cleanup, RC watching (I do this already with Henna's VandalFighter), creating new templates, categorizing, et cetera. I'm an admin on the Czech Wikipedia already, but I have lots of spare time so I'm easily able watch both - my Wikipedia and the Incubator. — Timichal • 06:36, 27. Jun 2006

Daniel (Dbmag9) [edit]

I have user accounts at each of the Wikimedia projects in English as well as a few in Latin and German, althought I do not contribute to most other than Wikipedia, Meta and, of course, Incubator. I'm interested mainly in the beurocratic aspects of the project; organising, writing policy (based on consensus, of course), and making sure that things are in the right place. I helped out quite a bit with the logo choosing process. I'd like to be an administrator to help with vandalism clearing, organisation and helping people learn to use Incubator, but most of all just to be a part of this great project right from the start. Thank you very much.

Node ue [edit]

I am, to the best of my knowledge, the originator of the idea of having "test Wikis" (see [1]).

I am already administrator at nv.wp, na.wp, got.wp, and yi.wikt, and I was in the past admin at Moldovan Wikipedia.

Also see my contributions at these various Wikis: Incubator, en.wp, yi.wp, sh.wp, mo.wp, etc.

I've also helped several lost pages find homes.

Pro [edit]
  1. I have only had positive interactions with this user, and I trust him. Jon Harald Søby 13:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Anti [edit]
  1. Oppose, I consider him a troll based on Meta experiences. — Timichal 07:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
    Hi Timichal, thank you for your opinion. I would certainly appreciate it, though, if you could be more specific. --Node ue 05:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  2. Oppose, node seems to be a controversial figure in Wikimedialand. It would also be nice to have some explanation of why he is a past admin on some wiki.—Nat Krause 01:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    I think it speaks to my trustworthiness and good-ness of character that I am trusted enough by The People In Charge that I still have sysop privelages at several Wikis, and that I am able to edit all Wikis without using a proxy.
    As to the situation at the Moldovan Wikipedia... well, in a word: flashmob. See m:Proposals for closing projects for an example of this. Hordes of Romanians showed up in a short time to vote for its closure while hordes of Russians showed up to keep it open. Before that vote though, there was little or no Russian involvement, and really the Romanians don't like me much (because I want to keep mo.wp open, and supposedly I am insulting dead people by writing in Cyrillic). --Node ue 05:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  3. Oppose Simply I do not know him as incubator writer. There are many persons in incubator who write a lot, for example Tarasevich and other belarussians. They have real experience and worked with us all the summer --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 07:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    Hi Yaroslav, most of my contributions are prior to the move to incubator. I would like to get re-involved in the community, and I anticipate that the need for people to help with maintenance will grow rapidly, and it is not unlikely that one or more of the current administrators will become inactive in the future (given that most of them do not write for Incubator-Wikis). Rather than find ourselves bogged down with problems because we didn't think this through in advance, I think it would be better to have the forces ready when the torrent comes. This Wiki is still relatively undiscovered by non-Wikimedian vandals (that is, so far all vandals seem to have been political-based), but you can be assured that, especially since it is described some places as aa "test" and is the carryover from the Test-wp subsection of meta, that it will eventually come to have bigger problems with vandalism than many mature wikis do. I do plan to write more for Incubator, but I am not incredibly skilled at any of the languages here. I created Okinawan Test-wp, most of the writing there is mine, but it is poor because I have a small knowledge of this language only. I also created Skandinavisk Test-WP for unified Scandinavian conlang, but it got deleted for some reason. --Node ue 02:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
    By the way, I invite Node UE to the Siberian wiki - it is biggest from recently created wikies with biggest community. We really need experienced editors, bots and administrators. So if he was able to help Moldavanians without knowledge of Moldovanian, maybe siberian wiki is good place when he may be usefull and have glory. --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 16:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  4. oppose oppose for the moment. Can you please explain why you wish to have administrator status here? Administrator status is not simply a mark which says "This user is special" but is a status which merits extra responsibilities. You have not listed anything that you want to do here which cannot be done as a normal user. Also, the current contents of your user page contain ideas which, at the moment, go against the Incubator's policy and aim. I don't want this to seem like I am opposing for some kind of heresy, but if you act upon these ideas at the moment you will find yourself out of favour. Dbmag9 10:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    I anticipate that the need for people to help with maintenance will grow rapidly, and it is not unlikely that one or more of the current administrators will become inactive in the future, as happens on all Wikis. Rather than find ourselves bogged down with problems because we didn't think this through in advance, I think it would be better to have the forces ready when the torrent comes. This Wiki is still relatively undiscovered by non-Wikimedian vandals (that is, so far all vandals seem to have been political-based), but you can be assured that, especially since it is described some places as aa "test" and is the carryover from the Test-wp subsection of meta, that it will eventually come to have bigger problems with vandalism than many mature wikis do.
    And obviously, it's not allowed to simply act on one's opinions when they are opposed by the community. If a sysop does this, this is grounds for proceedings against him/her. However, I'm not exactly sure how any of what my userpage says is against the "aims" or "policies" of Incubator. Perhaps against your own ideas. --Node ue 02:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
    Actually, I checked, and Incubator:Policy is edited almost exclusively by yourself, and its talkpage has little-to-no comments from others. When a policy is proposed, one must solicit the views of the community, and actively point out the fact that there is a proposed policy, for example using MediaWiki:Sitenotice. Otherwise, when said "policy" goes into effect, it's not so much a policy as it is a fatwa. I have made some suggestions on the talkpage, and I encourage you to add a link to that from sitenotice. --Node ue 02:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
    Also, I think it's worth it to note that one reason I proposed myself is that it seems most of our current administrators showed up on the scene after Incubator was created. I have extensive expertise with many languages (I'm not saying I "know" them, but I have worked with them). I was a bit surprised to find out that we have an entire page dedicated to "lost pages". I can identify the location for every single one of them quite easily. The fact that I am an admin at such diverse Wikis should give me some credit -- Nauruan, Navajo, Gothic, Yiddish... and that's just the start (I have adminship at various other Wikis as well, but not using the same username; I will merge them all after unified accounts are here). I wasn't granted these positions just because. I was voted in at na.wp and got.wp; I was made admin by Gangleri at yi.wikt, and at nv.wp I requested it in the absence of a community. It seems likely that I have meaningful contributions on more Wikis than any other user. --Node ue 02:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
  1. I have replied to your comments on policy at the relevant talk page. The reason that it appears to have been edited almost solely by myself is that it was imported onto here from Meta, and almost all further content edits were done by me whilst discussing the changes on IRC with other members of the community. It is a good idea to advertise the policy in the Sitenotice; it is already on the Recent Changes page, but may need more visibility. The comments that I was refering to on your user page are those relating to test creation and deletion. You say that you will not act upon your own beliefs but those of the community; I think that it is hard for the best of us to separate the two when acting. Dbmag9 13:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Abst [edit]
  1. neutral neutral I have had mostly positive experience with Node ue, but I think he is too polemic, too controversial and too unpredictable to be granted these rights. But he is right, it was him who conceived the test wikis. Steinbach 16:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

SPQRobin [edit]

I saw that there are 3 admins, and any of them aren't very active. You can see at Category:Maintenance:Delete and Incubator:Community_Portal that there is much to do. I am active on the Dutch Wikipedia, and when I am an admin here, I will be active here too. SPQRobin 18:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Cbrown1023 talk [edit]

I really like the idea of the incubator, the fact that you can see new projects spring up into their own wikis. I have recently become more active on the Incubator with general cleanup and feel that this will become easier with the admin tools. I am already nominating old and lost pages for speedy deletion or finding homes for them. I am also working on our image status with Robin and he could use another admin help. :) I am not new to Wikimedia projects (as seen by my meta page) and would like to help out the Incubator.

Markvondeegel [edit]

Currently I'm test-administrator of the Aeres Test Wikipedia. Since the proposal was rejected the pages need to be moved to aeres.wikia.com. This is not the reason I ask for permanent adminship. I've had a good time at the incubator and I would like to be here a little longer. I also ask for permanent adminship to help out with the prefixeproblems etc. -Markvondeegel 20:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment Comment If you mean with "prefixeproblems" moving Test-wp/ to Wp/ : that is already done. Or do you mean moving unprefixed pages to Incubator:Lost pages? SPQRobin 21:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I am wondering that as well. But could you also point out what contributions you've made outside of the Aeres Test Wikipedia? Cbrown1023 talk 23:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa [edit]

I'd like to help to manage this whole Incubator, such as cleaning up, editing the interface, etc. I'm already an admin in the Malay Wikipedia, and these few days I'd like to contribute to the Malay Wikiquote too. --King Edmund of the Woods 09:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Your contributions only belong to the Malay Wikiquote. You should show more engagemant to contribute to the whole Incubator or request test adminship for Wq/ms. --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 14:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I won't request for test adminship for the Malay Wikiquote because it still hasn't reach 50 pages yet. And as I said, I'm also interested in the interfaces, but test admins cannot edit interface! --King Edmund of the Woods 23:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
      • You need to go to betawiki for the interface. -Markvondeegel 15:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
        • Huh? Go to the betawiki? But the policy above only said that test admins can't edit interface, so I thought admins can edit interface? --King Edmund of the Woods 18:59, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
          • Test-admins can edit the interface, but they may not do this. As Markvondeegel already said, please go to betawiki: if you want to translate. Greetings, SPQRobin 20:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
        • I find it confusing. You said that test admins can edit the interface, but may not do this? I don't understand. And my work I intend is not only translating, but some improvement on the original English version itself... --King Edmund of the Woods 09:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
          • If you translate on betawiki it effects all wiki's and not only the Incubator. And nobody is allowed to edit the English interface, cause it will make many translation from for example English to Silozi wrong. --Ooswesthoesbes 10:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
            • It's a bit confusing: If you translate the interface on Betawiki, your translations will go to the source code (link see below), so the translations are aviable on all wikis. Test admins on Incubator have the technical ability to edit the interface in all languages (i.e. to override the standard messages defined in the MediaWiki sourcecode/translated via Betawiki, but they should not do so (but normal admins can do this as well and they are allowed to do it..., e.g. the sitenotice). --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 12:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Danny B. [edit]

I am sysop on wikt:cs and bureaucrat on q:cs: and testwiki. I mainly take care about technical stuff such as accessibility, cross-browser compatibility, semantics, skinability, validity, i18n issues and other stuff like that as well as creating customization gadgets (CSS/JS). That usually involves editing of pages in MediaWiki namespace as well as editing of other protected pages or sometimes some necessary deletions or protections of tuned and tweaked esoteric pages. Thus I'd like to request for sysop rights to have ability to fix stuff here. Thank you.

If by any chance I'm not enough suitable for permanent adminship, please move my request to temporary, since I'm involved in Wn/cs incubating, where already some moves/deletions would be necessary as well as we'd need to set some global styles (which actually might be slightly against the "He also can't edit the interface." rule, although it's pretty easily solvable).

— Danny B. 17:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Though all of your edits were probably good/very good edits, you haven't made that many edits and none of them were for general incubator maintenance. And, this seems to be not the intention of your (future) edits, so I'd propose to make a request for test-adminship, as you already suggested. Test-adminship currently has completely the same rights. The only thing in the policy about using test-adminship for more general edits is "If you do something outside your test, be prepared to defend your actions or you may be desysopped.", with other words "you need a reason" and I guess you would not need to worry :-) SPQRobin 19:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
    Changing vote to "support", he could convince me too :-) (IRC and talk below). SPQRobin 17:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Well, hard to do technical stuff without such access, thus hard to show. ;-) Unfortunately you're not right saying none of the edits were for the maintenance ([2] [3] [4] [5] [6]) however I agree I don't have so many edits yet (although I have hundreds of such-type edits on other projects). The major reason is in the first sentence. I don't know what lead you to guess the intention of my future edits isn't to do this kind of stuff widely, there's a huge pile of unoptimized and bad code around here which needs clean-up. My involvement in n:cs: is just coincidence. I'd feel playing unfair to community, if I rapidly gained a bunch of edits just to have some enough count, my view was my work can speak for me. If it doesn't speak for me enough, then OK, but I think simple editcount (which is pretty easily gainable) shouldn't be over the content of edits. By the way: I almost never submit half-done version of technically oriented edits which also makes my editcount small.
      Anyway, thank you for useful feedback, my little feedback back is: Please update the expectations then - I thought I have met all the criteria, if I knew I had not, I wouldn't apply for sure. I'd appreciate if you could specify more preciously what would you expect from me before requesting the rights so I can try to fulfill your criteria, because my goal is to make as many meta-wikis as possible better accessible, cross-browser compatible, legible and good enough looking in all skins and also friendly to non-English speaking people (which all is from my point of view important) and extended rights help with fulfilling of this goal a lot. Not saying it's not doable without them though of course...
      Thank you.
      — Danny B. 20:23, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. You are a trustworthy Wikimedian, of course, but you have only done a few edits here (to less for adminship). And, what exactly do you want to do? Why are css/js customization needed? --MF-W {a, b} 20:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Changed vote to Support. --MF-W {a, b} 14:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks for feedback too. As I said above, I'm aware about low number of edits.
      To answer your question: just an example: having styles in classes instead of in style attribute because a) it makes page shorter → easier legible source & saving bandwidth (→ faster to load → less annoying for users with slow connections) b) having inline style forces the view of such part of the page (typically template) but since most of the stuff is created in monobook style it doesn't mean the same look will fit in other styles beside it even don't have to work as expected in other skins → page gets less or even not accessible.
      Another example I just see - wanted to get the "→" char, but it isn't in edit tools below. The edit tools block actually isn't so much friendly for other languages at all. Now I'd expand it to allow people of other languages used here for incubation to have more comfort, but I can't. Etc...
      But OK, let's play on count, if you consider it as important. I don't mind, if it will help me to get closer to fulfill my goal. How many edits would you consider sufficient? I'll try to find that many technical-based problems here and fix them as much as I'll be able to.
      — Danny B. 20:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Cute. But wouldn't that be better in MediaWiki sourcecode so also other wikis can benefit from it? About edit count: if you answer the question I just asked with that it'd better be in Incubator because of..., I'll change my vote to support. It's just I saw no reason for the things you want to do and then saw you small editcount... --MF-W {a, b} 21:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
        • I was just writing the following add-on, so I cut'n'paste it here without change and will continue underneath.
          STARTJust wanted to add, that one of the reasons my editcount number is low also is, that my solutions from other wikis are being used here (and elsewhere) - eg. the current code of Recent changes has been developed by me on w:cs: and Timichal brought it here. So there's not so much to improve there since it already has been done on w:cs: (as I said I rarely submit unfinished stuff). :-) Also a bunch of templates for Wn/cs has been copied from w:cs: where I made them. Etc...END
          So I guess that pretty much answers your question, if I understood it correctly. Anything in any wiki (unless it's visible only for sysops) is reusable on other wiki, furthermore stylesheets and scripts (newly also gadgets) are easier reusable (and much more easier to change) then stuff hardcoded in source.

  • Support Brion, Oppose Angela (don't forget the logs: [7]) --Ooswesthoesbes 16:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    If you look at the logs, you can see she deleted a lot of pages, but on the same day.
    Reason: / Some background information: When I asked for sysop rights (at that moment, no one was active), I gave Category:Maintenance:Delete (containing +500 pages) as example why I needed the rights. No one reacted on my sysop request because no one was active. So I asked to Angela to look at my request, and (before she gave me the rights) she deleted the +500 pages in one time. SPQRobin 17:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    Well, fact is she has deleted 500 pages, which mean over 500 sysop actions in one year. She's active. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    So you are saying: 500 sysop actions in one day => 500 sysop actions in one year => active. SPQRobin 18:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    Jao. Otherwise most things will be inactive (especcialy wiktioanires and wikiquote: zh.wikt is one of the largest, almost everything is bot) --Ooswesthoesbes 19:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    What have bots to do with this? Anyway, we're getting off-topic :-) SPQRobin 19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    Unclear was it what I said... Well, see recent changes there? Every edit is Volkov Bot so now and then you'll see one editor eding lots of pages. This does Angela too. (Sorry English teacher broke her back, I can hardly speak English today) --Ooswesthoesbes 19:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I don't have any problems with this, but would like Angela to be contacted first. Cbrown1023 talk 17:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks for not even telling me about your proposal! I'm not inactive here - I'm just spreading my time across a lot of wikis (about 6000 of them) so my edits and deletions aren't regular here, but I am still following what's happening with this wiki and am available to step in when there are admin backlogs (as you can tell from the 1000 pages I deleted last year). Angela 17:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
    I wanted to tell it you, but I thought maybe you weren't watching your talk page here, so I didn't know what the best way is to contact you. SPQRobin 18:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
    • You could use Special:Emailuser - I have my email enabled on a lot of wikis, and certainly on those where I'm an admin. And my user page here links to two other user pages that have my email address and other contact info on them. I'm not hard to find. :) Angela 03:41, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

AGK [edit]

Greetings all. I stumbled across Incubator a while back, but I neither stayed active, nor created an account, until yesterday—and I'm glad I have :) This project has a nice community-feel to it (perhaps the newborn-connotations of "incubator"?) and I'd be honoured to be a part of it.

Unfortunately, I'm not a talented linguist, and I wouldn't be effective as an editor with any of the in-testing projects. However, I'm a long-standing administrator on the english wikipedia, an administrator and bureaucrat on some other Wikis (including with the Wikimedia Foundation), and a general Wiki enthusiast, and an experienced troll-slayer. I know I can be effective as an administrator here on Inc., and thus I've decided to offer my services to the community at large.

It is rather regrettable that it is necessary to offer myself to you with no prior experience; however, the majority of the work I look forward to participating in is administrator-only (e.g., Special:Unusedimages, quick-deletions, site messages improvements, etc.). Thus, I am forced to nominate myself based solely on an honest desire to improve this project and my experience on other sites. If any consellation is needed, I can detail further indications of trust on other projects; but, rather than ringing off a list of hats, I'd prefer to answer any questions. Feel free to list them below ;) All the best, Anthøny 16:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't support this request because you are very new to this project and have few edits. I'd wait a few days, and then use the "backdoor": ask for test-sysopship (then you can help with delete etc, but not edit messages). SPQRobin 16:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I understand you concerns; however, I'm angling towards the same vein as other now-active administrators, such as Cbrowne, who visited the site, found they liked it, but couldn't do much, and said the the community "folks, I can help here, but I need the sysop. bit"... The community trusted him, flagged him up, and he got set on improving the project. Hopefully I can do just that: get flagged up, and help improve incubator with the tools entrusted to me. Anthøny 18:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Anðøný. I think you should prove you could be active and try again then. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

    • Really? But I don't think that admin rights should be given out only for translating four or five messages (by the way, what would you do except de and ksh?). You can also ask an admin to add them. --MF-W {a, b} 16:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
      • Sure can I - only wanting to avoid unneccessary labour for others. See my language list for what else I can do. Btw. - don't know how much that applies here: 'translating' sometimes means simply copying and pasting from elsewhere. I've 'translated' hundreds of Babel-templates that way in most Wikipedias. :-) --Purodha 11:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
        • I have already been thinking about this "problem". Giving admin rights is not a good idea; better would be to give the "editinterface" right to a group other than sysop (autoconfirmed, or a new translator group). Or we can use templates to use in the MediaWiki messages (and use the system like template:test wiki/translations. Or maybe there's a better solution... SPQRobin 17:14, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
          • A special group with "editinterfeace" right was imho the straightfowardmost solution. Although I would not mind having more rights, I would likely rarely use them, at least atm. --Purodha 23:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Timpul [edit]

I would like to present a candidature of user Timpul for Incubator administrator. He was very helpful with Silesian Wikipedia, when this project has been tested here, later he helps with Gagaus language, now with Wymysiöeryś. As I know, he know also other rare languages, and know English much better than me. I supposed it doesn't make any sense for him to request test adminship for each language, today and in the future presents here, with which he is/will be working. He has a experience as an administrator in Silesian Wikipedia [8], and I have to say he is doing great job. I hope he will accept this nomination and will become an administrator here.

John Vandenberg [edit]

Hello. I am an administrator on many WMF wikis, most importantly the Multilingual Wikisource which acts as the incubator for new Wikisource projects. I would like to spend more time on this incubator in order to assess the pros and cons of incubating projects here, in part to compare with our system on Wikisource, and also to provide meaningful response to meta:Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Beta Wikiversity. I feel that while I am looking around here, it would be helpful if I can also get my fingers dirty with administration that I see needs doing. I do not feel comfortable requesting "test-administrator" as I dont have a specific project I wish to focus on. I have 60,000 edits to WMF projects, with 4,000 edits to non-English projects. If I become inactive, I am happy to request desysop. John Vandenberg 15:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

  • Neutral. Why not, but just having registered and requesting adminship is not so nice. --MF-W {a, b} 16:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
    • Hi, sorry it has been a while for me to reply.
      I realise the request here is a bit out of order, but this would typically fall under the "temporary sysop" which this wiki doesnt have provision for. The "test-administrator" doesnt quite apply.
      I am not intending to, or likely to, perform strange decisions. I'm mostly interested in reviewing how the administation has been done here in the past, by viewing deleted pages, or order to access how well it works as an incubator. My deleted contribs here will show I have already had opportunity to use the tools in a reasonable matter, and I constantly see more by watching the RC feed, such as copy&paste moves, deletion request,blankings. John Vandenberg 14:19, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

SterkeBak [edit]

Hi, i have kind of a problem. I hate it when people have to work harder because of me.

I am active on this project with maintence. Fixing redirects, welcome new users. Nominate unused redirects for deletion. I have made a list with redirects that are cross namespace. Many of them are made when a page is moved so he has a prefix. I am also trying to work with a project robin told me. Many svg here are duplicates from commons. I am making sure local image aren't used anymore and link them to commons.

Placing a delete template on it is fine. It is more easy and fast if i can delete them myself. This unsigned comment was added by SterkeBak, 14:05, 5. Nov. 2008.

Hello,

I would like to ask the comnunety to give me admin rights. I used to edit on a other name (for reason and more info contac me on irc) on that account I had adminrights on Incubator.

I am working on Incubator on a daily basis. I am mostly active with welcoming new users, tagging redirects without a prefix for deletion and patrolling the recent changes.

It would be more easy for me if I could delete the redirects instade of tagging it.

Az1568 [edit]

I'd like to request adminship to assist with stopping vandals and other general maintenance tasks around Incubator. I have helped out for a while, including with temporary adminship back in 2007. Lately I've been checking incubator a few times a day, flagging things for Cbrown1023 to delete. I know Casey enjoys deleting all these pages and blocking users, but I also don't feel that poking him everytime I need something (which has been often) is the best choice either -- especially not when there's vandalism in progress. If I could do these things on my own, I think it would make things easier on all of us. :-) --Az1568 02:12, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Romaine [edit]

Yesterday Abigor started to import nl-Wikinews to Incubator. On that project I did much maintenance work as admin and together with other users we kept it free from vandalism. Now I want to clean it up after importing it and help it being on Incubator. I also have the admintools on some other projects for some time and I am active on the several Wikimedia-projects for about 6 years. I can read and understand most Germanic and Romance languages/dialects, and also some other languages. I herby want to request adminship on Incubator to do maintenance on this project where it is needed or where I can help other people or where vandalism is met. I do not want to be bound to just on test, because I like to help where help is needed, which can be on several languages. Greetings - Romaine 14:27, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

  • support support - User has my full support, I think he can do good work here on Incubator with the admin buttons. I granted him testadmin yesterday for helping with the cleaning the import. But this will be revoked after the import is done so the real admin buttons could be great for him. Huib talk 18:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Permanent test-adminship is much more appropiate for this as you only contributed to wn/nl so far, so I oppose on normal sysop access (however support for test-adminship).

    • Permanent test-adminship limits where I may do anything if help is needed, and that is why I request for the normal adminship. As I have encountered on several small projects, that it is very uneasy not being able to help if there is a need for help. I also have been involved in general maintenance on several projects, where this maintenance couldn't been done properly without the tools. And I noticed already a backlog on this project. Greetings - Romaine 21:33, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
      • This is indeed true; and it is very joyful to hear that you are so eager to do this maintenance, however as you are rather new here, I'd prefer if you first became a bit more familiar with the Incubator (whether with permanent test-adminship or not is not important), do maintenance that can be done without sysop access too (it exists!), and then request full sysop status again if you still want to. --MF-W {a, b} 17:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

HenkvD [edit]

I was administrator (and burocrat) on the nl-wilnews that is closed and imported here. For continuing that a test-adminstrator would be logical admin rights. For general maintenance on the site, currently for creating templates like Template:User language/nl and corresponding categories, I would like to be granted the rights of administrator. HenkvD 12:06, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

  • I'm ok with granting test-admin rights, but not with granting full sysop rights. It is now possible to create subpages of Template:User language, and (prefixed) categories can be created as non-sysop too. --MF-W {a, b} 18:45, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
I can now create templates (thanks), but I am still unable to create categories (like Category:Template subpages). HenkvD 12:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
There is no need to create that category (and if so, it would have another name). Aditionally it is only in rare cases necessary to create unprefixed categories. --MF-W {a, b} 15:23, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the test-adminship for wn/nl. As for recent maintenance contributions: until 17 April I could not create subpages of templates, on 18 April I could (thanks) but then a few days I could not, now is is possible again. I still can't create general categories, like Category:User aa. So what kind of recent maintenance contributions would you like to have seen? HenkvD 17:51, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Well, general maintenance is not limited to things related Babel/user language templates and categories - which you seem to like a lot (Please just ask to change MediaWiki:Titleblacklist if you feel that we need these categories here - or that something should be exempted from the unprefixed block). I:LOUP and Unprefixed templates are maintenance things you can also work on without sysop tools, for example, and looking at your recent contributions, I only noticed Template:User language and wn/nl stuff. So, it was not evident to me that you need adminship. Feel free to disabuse me :) or to do maintenance and request against then... /me hides... --MF-W {a, b} 17:32, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
For now I want to work on the babel templates and catogories. I thought I needed admin rights for that, as I don't konw how and where to ask or change. The Incubator:Administrators' noticeboard does not have a reference to this either. Can you arrange to put these on the MediaWiki:Titleblacklist or so. HenkvD 18:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
I have now allowed creation of Category:User xx pages. --MF-W {a, b} 15:53, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Ooswesthoesbes [edit]

Haj :) I would like to request "permanent" adminship (=normal adminship) at the incubator. There are several reasons:

  1. I now have about 10.000 tests here and I am too lazy to keep on requesting test adminship :)
  2. I'm quite often online.
  3. When I see an admin job to be done I have to do it, but I don't feel like it's appropriate because I'm only a test-admin.
  4. I can't edit some pages (f.e. mediawiki).
  5. I'd like to take some pressure off of the current admins.

I'm admin at li.wikt (also bureaucrat), li.wq, oldwikis, lb.wikt, been temp. admin on li.ws, chr.wikt (and probably some other sites too) and several million non-wikimedia sites. (and test-admin here :P) --OWTB 16:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, nobody cares about your flags on "test wikis", or any wiki for that matter, it's not relevant to THIS wiki. You'll start to come off as a "flag collector", which is exactly what this comes off as. --Charitwo 23:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

TeleComNasSprVen [edit]

Hello, I've been able to read the policies listed on this page and at Incubator:Policy, and would like to if given the sysop tools be a little more active around Incubator:Maintenance. Having the sysop tools gives me a little more advantage in helping this wiki by:

Speedily removing vandalism. When passing by here to inspect any blatant vandalism alerted by the bots on the IRC channel #cvn-sw — which is sometimes where I hang out when I go for rounds in crosswiki antivandalism — the additional abilities will more efficiently get rid of vandals from harming the wiki.

Wikignomish work. I currently run a bot named User:(1.VSNCT)Bot which runs on a pywikipedia file called redirect.py used to fix DoubleRedirects. It also has a second part for fixing BrokenRedirects; however I'm not keen on adding sysop functionality to a bot. I believe that task should be left up for a human to review, and I can do that if the admin tools were instead transferred to me.

Cleaning up ListFiles. I realize that uploads have been disabled on this wiki (bug 11168) per this discussion and I'd like to help in transferring the files from here to Commons, and then deleting the rest as they come. I have a fair bit of experience transferring files between enwiki and Commons. TeleComNasSprVen 23:24, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh, one other point I'd like to make clarified. Is it a prerequisite for administrators to have a working email enabled in their Special:Preferences? If yes and my request happens to fail because of that, I'd like to make a note on this page about it :) TeleComNasSprVen 23:41, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
No, it isn't; but you can be sure, if it were, someone would have checked whether you fulfilled that requirement and would have informed you about it. --MF-W {a, b} 17:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Hydriz [edit]

Hi, I am here to request for administrator access on this wiki so that I can do occasional maintenance tasks that is only available to administrators. As most of you know, I am already an importer here and I have imported a few closed wikis already. With the administrator right, I can continue to render my help to this wiki, plus additional tools to be able to aid me. I am already an administrator on the Strategic Planning and a rollbacker on both Simple English Wikipedia and Simple English Wiktionary. Many thanks . Hydriz 12:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Removing rights of TeleComNasSprVen [edit]

According to the experiences in past days with so many hot-headed actions of TeleComNasSprVen I am suggesting to remove his rights, as his actions using admin rights very often create issues and additional work rather then save it.

Well, it's rather unusual in the case of normal adminship requests, but what is written above for test-adminship is valid here too: If you get no comment at all under your name, that doesn't mean you are a bad user; it means no one has any objections to you being a test admin.

Inactivity desysoppings, June 2012 [edit]

Well, per the recent policy change (discussion), I've looked at the admin activity and I think these are those which are inactive according to the policy:

  • Az1568: last edits in December 2009, last log actions in March 2010.
  • Cbrown1023: last 3 edits: Nov. 2010, July 2011, February 2012; last log actions at the end of 2009, 1 right change in 2011.
  • Mardetanha: edits in 2011: 6 because of right changes. Last log actions: the mentioned renamings, and 1 deletion in Nov. 2011.

Any comments, questions, protests? Otherwise I'll request the removal of rights by stewards. --MF-W {a, b} 17:23, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 18:26, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Don't like to see them inactive but it is the way it is. Support. --OWTB (talk) 12:35, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I have a question. Would the desysopping include the removal of other rights? Az1568 also being a crat, Cbrown also being a crat and importer, and Mardetanha only being an importer (not a sysop!). --OWTB (talk) 12:43, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, as bureaucrat status is only avaiable for sysops, I'd say it should be removed too. For importer status, I think we can also remove it when someone is desysopped because of inactivity. Mardetanha was also a bureaucrat and sysop, but he removed the rights by himself (I addressed all three users on their Meta talk pages).
On a personal note, I also don't like it to see them inactive and am sure that they could get the rights back if they become active again here. --MF-W {a, b} 13:15, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Bureaucratship [edit]

Timichal [edit]

Suggested by Angela (thank you! :) ) I like this project and being involved in it, and we have currently developed a new test administrator position, so we need a bureaucrat to promote the people. I'm involved in things here for a long time, so I thought I'll try to apply for this position.... For the record: I've been working on creating rules with Dbmag9 (though he's the one with a more creative brain ;) ), I'm trying to fix the page prefixes here, categorize pages, import image licences... My plans are to move the Meta RfNL page onto here. Also, I'm an admin at Czech Wikipedia. My main userpage can be seen here.

Other requests [edit]

Ooswesthoesbes (import access) [edit]

We've - at least I've - got a little problem. For each single edit I make I have to save it twice. When I edit (even when I fix a little typo) I need to copy the whole page, save, press 'back', paste and save again, because when I save I get something of Wikimedia error. This is already the problem for 2 weeks and I really don't like it. To avoid this I have made many new pages on other wikis (of course without thinking clearly before I did it) It's about 100 pages, but (looking to the problems now) I would rather import them myself, so when this problem doesn't get fixed, I can still edit on another wiki and then import and also because many pages still need some additional fixes I can only perform on this wiki. Another problem is if I get this import access, on which account? Or Ooswesthoesbes or OwtbBot (does not have bot flag yet). I personally think OwtbBot then would be the best option because it won't effect Recentchanges heavily, but is it possible in Wikimedia to create a bot with import rights? Please let hear from you very soon. --Ooswesthoesbes 17:24, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Well, please clarify:
    • Where do you have the edit problems? Only here on Incubator or on other WMF wikis too?
    • Where have you created 100 pages?
    • What about creating a bugzilla request about this problem?
  • I think this problem can be solved somehow and you wouldn't need import rights then. Of course there can be bots which are importers. --MF-W {a, b} 15:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
    Here we go:
    • Only on the incubator.
    • Some kind of inactive wiki I have started up myself (thought it was wikia) The pages can't stand there for much time, because the wiki's language is Limburgish and it doesn't belong to the project there.
    • I don't know how bugzilla works :)
    At least these pages should be imported by someone to here. If this problem keeps going on, and it might be that I am the only one having these problems (?), there needs to be another solution then. --Ooswesthoesbes 16:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Who is "she"? But I think it is not needed to import them because also nobody needs the page history for babel templates. Furthermore it is no big problem to ask an admin (on IRC e.g.) to import a bable template if needed. --MF-W {a, b} 16:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I do have a serious objection. Import rights should be granted only to long(er) time experienced administrators, who are aware of local policies, habits and overall principles of the Incubator. I've seen lots of your impetuous actions recently, including way so messy import of unnecessary things which cluttered Incubator and caused lots of maintenance work to admins/maintainers as well as confusions and work to regular test wiki users. Import is way so complex feature and can create lot of troubles if not used properly. By your actions I've seen here so far and by reading of your talk page on enwiki I realize you are very hot-headed and we can not afford to risk it.
— Danny B. 09:02, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Danny B. about your recent actions. Your adminship passed due to the fact that there was no other comments, not because you have lots of supporters. Therefore I suggest that you should stop importing as it may continue to disrupt the usual happenings of the Wikimedia Incubator. This is not a warning to you, but just a small note.

Ebe123 [import] [edit]

I would like import access so I may move closed wikis here. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 15:01, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

  • comment no problems for me... But be carefull with the prefixes and stuff, you know you need to edit it before you can upload it? Huib talkAbigor @ meta 07:57, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
  • For the first thing that I would import, already prefixed. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 09:25, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
You already have something to import? I thought we are up to date with closed wiki's? I did 3 last month. Huib talkAbigor @ meta 11:29, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
No Wb/ast is not moved here. I prepared it though. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 12:13, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Xbspiro (Talk | contribs) (importer) [edit]

I hereby request importer rights. Importing the categories, portals and a few community pages of Hungarian Wikinews is on my agenda. - Xbspiro 23:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

So Wn/hu has not been imported completely yet? --MF-W {a, b} 23:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
The main namespace and the templates have been imported so far. I do not need the rights, if someone will import the missing ones. - Xbspiro 08:53, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
(Sorry for the little late answer, you see how popular this task is...) If you are familiar with how to do this (add prefixes before importing etc.), please say so and you'll get the rights. If not, I'll import the missing pages. --MF-W {a, b} 13:43, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
I have read I:Importing and, for playing on the safe side, I would import a single page for the first time I try. On the other hand, I have never ever had this kind of a right before. And, even if I would get these rights, there would be tasks which I could not accomplish myself, for example the merging of various community pages of wn/hu while keeping the history of the pages. (There was a community consensus about this issue. According to the Admin's Guide, administrators can do this kind of a stuff.) And do not worry about the late answer, I am not in hurry myself, as you can see. - Xbspiro 11:16, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Alternatively, I could edit the XML file and hand it over to you, so the file would be double checked before being uploaded. - Xbspiro 11:19, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Ok, what about this solution: You create and edit the XML file excluding any pages that need to be merged. You then send it to me for checking it, and then you or I can upload it. Also, you can make a list of the community pages which should be merged, and give it to me, which I will then import/merge (indeed only sysops can do it, maybe test-sysops too) --MF-W {a, b} 01:20, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Fine, I will do the work with the file, you the upload. I do not need the rights. - Xbspiro 14:45, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Przemub (Talk | contribs) (importer) [edit]

I would like for request for importer rights, because I want to import large amounts of different types of pages to Lower Silesian Wikipedia and Silesian Wiktionary, ie mainly it will be technical templates from Polish and Silesian Wikipedias and help pages from German and Silesian Wikipedias. I requesting for this rights because I don't want every time must submit requests for import and prepare lists of pages for import, and awaiting for import (I'll be able to immediately adapt imported pages to the project and apply them in the articles of project). Regards, Przemub 16:49, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

How many pages do you expect that to be? By the way, you can already request imports by sysops. --MF-W {a, b} 21:42, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
A lot. Infoboxes and navboxes templates. Lexical templates for Silesian Wiktionary. Help pages from Silesian Wikipedia. Przemub 14:23, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Can I now get rights? Przemub 09:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Do you know how to import with adding prefixes? (some related info here) It's important that the prefixes are added and there can easily go something wrong. SPQRobin 15:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Requesting Importers flag for User:Avicennasis [edit]

I would like to request importer rights for my work in Wt/Sco. Thanks. -Avicennasis talk? 00:55, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Why? Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 13:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
  • 1) How many pages (roughly) do you expect to import? 2) Do you already have experience with using Special:Import? --MF-W {a, b} 14:14, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I would be importing pages from User:Avicennasis/sandbox. I have experience with Special:Import as an admin on the Scots Wikipedia. I'm requesting this solely to get these pages imported from EnWt; I just didn't want to badger anyone with this task since it's something I can easily do myself. Face-smile.svg (If, however, it's not commonplace to hand this right out, and someone is able to complete these imports for me with little hassle, I will withdraw this request.) -Avicennasis talk? 06:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Somehow that list seems known to me ;) I think it is a very appropriate use of the importer status to faciliate such large-scale requests; (also because the pages will need to be adapted after importing, and I think it it would be good if that happens quite soon after their import - in that sense that you would be able to import the pages when you want to work on them).
  • One remark about the technical aspects: Keep in mind that, unlike sysop, the importer status also gives you the possibility to import by upload of XML files generated via Special:Export. While we have set en.wikt as an import source for the normal import form, I'd recommend that you use the importupload function, which makes it easier to import several pages at once (like : all pages from one category), and also makes it possible to already add prefixes to the page titles, so that moving them to the correct name after the import won't be necessary. --MF-W {a, b} 16:17, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
You may always ask an importer, but here is the importer group (temporary). I'll remove it when you're done. Don't forget to renew your test-administratorship, which will expire on the 15th. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 15:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! -Avicennasis talk? 05:07, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, before such a large-scale action can be approved, it needs to be ensured that the Wp/azb is verified as eligible by the Langcom (see the request on Meta), in order to make sure that it is indeed a project that is acceptable as a new Wikipedia language version. If Langcom will verify it as eligible, it is possible that the articles from category Ərəb əlifbalı məqalələr can simply be imported to a new azb.wikipedia.org subdomain. --MF-W {a, b} 20:23, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your attention. I wrote about Localisation Wp/azb in here. What also needs to be done for it? Thanks.--Ebrahimi-amir (talk) 04:46, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Please see there for an answer. --MF-W {a, b} 12:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Arjanizary [translator] [edit]

We translated at translatewiki.net about 22% of the all contents. Nowadays the South Azerbaijani's new contributors are joining incubator, and some of them are new at Wikimedia and some of them new at incubator. So we want to translate them to azb. I have done many translation at translatewiki.net and some at incubator but I don't know that I have the right or not? I'll apreciate you if you grant me that right. I'm also active at azb test wiki and test-admin at it. Regards. --Arjanizary (talk) 20:15, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I suppose that you want to translate this and that group of messages. --MF-W {a, b} 21:57, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Yes. And beside they, I want to translate welcome text (and may some incubator-related articles) to South Azerbaijani. By the way, I want to translate to Arabic, too. RX --Arjanizary (talk) 08:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
Template:Welcome-translate gives information about translating the welcome message; Special:Translate gives an overview over translatable Incubator pages. --MF-W {a, b} 21:54, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
I translated the Welcome Page to azb but the errors are so much! Could you help me? I translated the whole page without changing anything of the template page.--Arjanizary (talk) 09:50, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
I moved it to Template:Welcome/azb, now it works. Exceptionally, this page belongs to Incubator in general and not to the test-project of Wp/azb, that's why it does not need to have the prefix. --MF-W {a, b} 15:02, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. And two more questions. One about that azb is rtl, so how can change the welcome template? Second is that, how can I translate the first sentence Welcome to Wikimedia Incubator!? There is no option or sth else that I can translate or change to azb. --Arjanizary (talk) 03:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
The sentence "Welcome to Wikimedia Incubator" can be translated through the welcome= parameter, as you found out already. For rtl writing, there is also a parameter [16]. --MF-W {a, b} 19:13, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
I'll add two more rtl templates. One for welcome text. One for the text. See[17]. BTW, how can I add South Azerbaijani(local:تورکجه) to other languages bar? --Arjanizary (talk) 22:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
