Incubator:Administrators' noticeboard

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
• use the built-in rollback functionality

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

• Exception: As rollback is only appropriate to use in cases of vandalism, test-administrators can use that feature anywhere they see vandalism.

Bureaucrats can do all the above, as well as:

• grant administrator/bureaucrat status
• grant/revoke test-administrator status
• grant/revoke bot flags
• rename users [now mostly obsolete in favor of global accounts and unified login]

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, #wikimedia-incubator.

• For deletion requests, use I:RFD for test deletions and {{delete}} for speedy deletions.
• For user rights (admins, test-admins, bots, ...) or renamings, see I:A.

Whitelist "kv" prefix for Komi-Zyrian Wiktionary

Hello. I want to start the Komi-Zyrian Wiktionary. The Komi Wikipedia uses the prefix kv (kv.wikipedia.org). To keep the ecosystem consistent and avoid confusing users with kpv.wiktionary.org, I need to use the Wt/kv/ prefix in the Incubator. Please whitelist kv for Wiktionary Shankaga (talk) 13:16, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Done I have created the info-page (Wt/kv). Please note that this does not mean the code has been formally allocated for this language yet; it is only a starting point in the Incubator. You should consult with LangCom members regarding the consistent use of the language code. -- (talk) 17:21, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for creating the info-page! However, the automated system filter is still blocking me from creating any subpages under the Wt/kv/ prefix (it still throws the big red "invalid ISO code" warning). Could you please whitelist the prefix in the AbuseFilter / validation script so I can actually start creating pages? Shankaga (talk) 18:25, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
