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.

XML file of Wp/ru-old

Second time now asking for a deleted project. Someone already created another one on the Incubator Plus. I also ended up making a page for it on the Incubator Plus 2.0 to redirect there until something else is done with the prefix on there, like a creation or a merge.

If there is an XML file available, which the deletion message suggests, maybe you could transfer it to one of those. –Thanks, Kxeon (talk) 17:26, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey, @Kxeon, sorry for answering so late. I don't think an XML file is available right now, considering the deletion occurred in 2008, almost 20 years ago ;(

But there could be one, maybe @MF-Warburg can give you a definitive answer, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high. — Garcez (talk) 05:52, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Adding wiki names to Template:Test wiki and Template:Test wiki/core

I wanted to ask/say this on Template talk:Test wiki/core, but I can't because I can't make unprefixed pages. Not even talk pages.

I went around adding a bunch of stuff (extra code support and general expansion) to the Incubator Plus 2.0's Template:Test wiki and Template:Test wiki/core, and one of the things I added was the ability to add the local wiki names.

As examples, here are some wikis on the Incubator Plus 2.0, that currently have their wiki name inside of the test wiki template are Wp/ine, Wp/enm, Wp/en-dsrt, Wp/omp, and Wp/zh-pinyin, and Wt/odt.

The code is simple enough too, but there are a few versions I made.^[edited]

First, in Template:Test wiki, add |localwikiname={{{wikiname|}}} anywhere, and then replace {{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}} Template:Test wiki/core with one of the following (in the outputs, the Manchu Wikipedia is used as an example):

1. {{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}{{#if:{{{localwikiname}}}|<br><small>''{{{localwikiname}}}''</small>}}

   HTML Output: <p>Manchu Wikipedia<br><small><i>ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ ᡤᡳᠰᡠᠨ ᡳ ᡠᡳ᠌ᡴᡳᡦᡳᡩᡳᠶᠠ / Manju gisun -i Uikipediya</i></small><br></p>

Explanation: This one has the localised name at the top and the native one at the bottom, with the native one italicised.

2. ''{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}''{{#if:{{{localwikiname}}}|<br><small>{{{localwikiname}}}</small>}}

   HTML Output: <p><i>Manchu Wikipedia</i><br><small>ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ ᡤᡳᠰᡠᠨ ᡳ ᡠᡳ᠌ᡴᡳᡦᡳᡩᡳᠶᠠ / Manju gisun -i Uikipediya</small><br></p>

   Explanation: This too has the localised name at the top and the unlocalised one at the bottom. This time, however, the localised one is italicised instead of the unlocalised one.

3. {{#if:{{{localwikiname}}}|{{{localwikiname}}}<br><small>''{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}''</small>|''{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}''}}

   HTML Output:

   • With native name: <p>ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ ᡤᡳᠰᡠᠨ ᡳ ᡠᡳ᠌ᡴᡳᡦᡳᡩᡳᠶᠠ / Manju gisun -i Uikipediya<br><small><i>Manchu Wikipedia</i></small><br></p>
   • Without native name: <p><i>Manchu Wikipedia</i><br></p>

   Explanation: Native name on top and is normal, localised name at the bottom and italicised. If the native wiki name is entered, the localised name also becomes small.

4. {{#if:{{{localwikiname}}}|{{{localwikiname}}}<br><small>''{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}''</small>|{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}}}

   HTML Output:

   • With native name: <p>ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ ᡤᡳᠰᡠᠨ ᡳ ᡠᡳ᠌ᡴᡳᡦᡳᡩᡳᠶᠠ / Manju gisun -i Uikipediya<br><small><i>Manchu Wikipedia</i></small><br></p>
   • Without native name: <p>Manchu Wikipedia<br></p>

   Explanation: Native name on top, localised name at the bottom. If the native wiki name is entered, the localised name becomes small and italicised.

5. {{#if:{{{localwikiname}}}|{{{localwikiname}}}<br><small>{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}</small>|{{int:wminc-infopage-title-{{{projectcode}}}|{{{languagename_userlang}}}}}}}

   HTML Output:

   • With native name: <p>ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ ᡤᡳᠰᡠᠨ ᡳ ᡠᡳ᠌ᡴᡳᡦᡳᡩᡳᠶᠠ / Manju gisun -i Uikipediya<br><small>Manchu Wikipedia</small><br></p>
   • Without native name: <p>Manchu Wikipedia<br></p>

   Explanation: Native name on top, localised name at the bottom. If the native wiki name is entered, the localised name also becomes small.

Would adding this be a good idea, or necessary? It looks like a pretty good thing to have, but I'm the one who added that functionality so... please tell if and why it's unnecessary for this Incubator. If you think it's a good idea, please implement it. –Thanks, Kxeon (talk) 03:50, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

I think that's pretty neat. But since no one has given their opinion yet, we'll have to wait :) — Garcez (talk) 05:53, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

I don't see a particular need to show the wiki name in the relevant language. As a person using info pages, I care to read the name in a language understandable to me, which is my interface language. --MF-W {a, b} 12:23, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
