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.

ISO 639-3 code

Several languages have gotten their ISO 639-3 code but cannot create their wiki projects here: Hainanese (hnm), Leizhou Chinese (luh), Shaojiang Chinese (sjc), Southern Ping Chinese (csp), Northern Ping Chinese (cnp). el caballero de los Leones (talk) 03:33, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

This can be changed when there are requests from the speakers of these languages. --MF-W {a, b} 12:38, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

@MF-Warburg Actually, Hainanese already has its corresponding RFL: here (On Hold at the moment), shouldn't this one be unfreezed first? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:17, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Please import Template:Test wiki/styles.css to Incubator Plus 2.0

Sorry, but I didn't have anywhere else to put this. Please, import the CSS file for Template:Test wiki to Incubator Plus 2.0. Thanks. wikipedia-kxeon  mailbox  contributions 20:23, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Because the page is unprefixed, I can't actually import or edit it... I need to look into that. --OWTB (talk) 09:25, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

I can't seem to find a way to circumvent this issue. As 2.0 uses the same mechanics as here, does anyone know how to create an unprefixed page? @User:MF-Warburg --OWTB (talk) 09:34, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

You might have to set the test-wiki in your preferences to (Maintenance). --MF-W {a, b} 13:41, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

That was a remarkably easy fix... Thank you! :) It is Done now. --OWTB (talk) 14:08, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Moving the Serbo-Croatian Wikivoyage

Hello! Following the discussion on the Community Portal, I believe the consensus is established to move Wy/hbs to Wy/sh. If that is the case here, the discussion can now be closed/concluded, with the following steps:

• All Wy/hbs subpages (content) should be moved to Wy/sh without leaving a redirect.
• The code page Wy/hbs shall redirect to Wy/sh.

Many thanks for considering my request, Aca (talk) 22:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
