Angela

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.

Timichal

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)

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

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.

Anti
  1. Oppose, I consider him a troll based on Meta experiences. — Timichal 07:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  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)[reply]

  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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Cbrown1023talk

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.

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.

User:Danny B.

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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
    Changing vote to "support", he could convince me too :-) (IRC and talk below). SPQRobin 17:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
      • 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)[reply]
        • 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.

Desysopping of Brion VIBBER and Angela

I propose the desysopping of Brion VIBBER (talk | contribs) and Angela (talk | contribs). Brion is just sysop because he has set up this wiki (he's a developer, like everyone knows). He can be sysop on every wiki whenever he wants, so he doesn't need sysop rights for technical reasons or something.

AGK

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

  • Yes, the Incubator specific stuff, found on Incubator:Translation project in the list as italic links. It cannot be done on Betawiki atm. --Purodha 15:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
      • 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)[reply]
        • 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)[reply]
          • 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)[reply]

Timpul

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. Pls.wait for his acceptation with voting. Lajsikonik 14:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John Vandenberg

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)[reply]

  • Neutral. Why not, but just having registered and requesting adminship is not so nice. --MF-W {a, b} 16:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • 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.

SterkeBak

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.

I am also a Adminstrator on Commons and a importer on simple wikibooks.

I know the difference between a language and a script.. But the script is written in a specific language so how do you think I don't understand?

Az1568

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]
  • 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). (And Abigor, please add at least a note here if you give bot status to someone). --MF-W {a, b} 19:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC) / comment changed at 20:20, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
      • 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Ooswesthoesbes

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)[reply]

TeleComNasSprVen

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Close the discussion below and continue discussing here? --Adriano Morelli (talk) 15:37, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is possible to become an administrator on Incubator, instead of a test-administrator. However, why do you request this? "Normal" adminship is not affiliated with any test-project in particular. In your initial request (which I had moved to the test-adminship request section because of that) you mentioned you wanted to become an admin for Wp/lrc [only?]. --MF-W {a, b} 18:00, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

thanks I mean I want to be administrator in wiki incubator as like as you not in luri lrc only. what do you mean "Normal adminship is not affiliated with any test-project in particular" I don't understand your mean? whether adminship has facilities of testadminship for testproject or they are same?Mogoeilor (talk) 18:38, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Test-adminship is only for some wiki(s); the "normal" adminship is for the whole project (in this case it's Incubator).
Why do you want to be an administrator? --Adriano Morelli (talk) 21:22, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I request adminship to help out in the incubator.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 seasoned editor over at Mogoeilor(usually helping out behind-the-scenes), and I believe I'm familiar with relevant policies here. I request adminship to help with backlogs of any sort, requests, new initiatives and anything else I will be glad to help with! Mogoeilor (talk) 02:15, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Dear Mogoeilor, we are very happy that you are interested in helping out on Incubator. However, from the discussion above, there does appear to be some concern as to giving you full adminship on Incubator. First, if you do want to help out in general on Incubator, you should first do so, as well as learn more about the various processes and policies, before requesting full adminship. Secondly, I think it is more valued to be a test-administrator to take care of a test wiki, since that is ultimately what we aim for here. We would be very happy to see Luri Wikipedia be successfull. Thank you for your understanding, SPQRobin (talk) 20:09, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have been active contributor in Wikimedia projects for more than a year and I am in Incubator since October. I want to get sysop rights to help out with maintance tasks, especially deletion of the pages per speedy deletion criterias, also blocking vandals and rollbacking vandalism. Here I am a test sysop of Wy/eo, in other projects I am known as TA and sysop of eowiki. I think that Incubator community will only benefit from my help as I am constructive user and familiar with sysop duties. --Ochilov (talk) 11:19, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that certain things should be changed or clarified, please start a new topic on the community portal so that we can address it together. Incubator isn't run by the admins alone and everyone has a part to play in ensuring that it is simple to use and learn. If you need help on understanding Incubator mechanics, please ask. Thanks! --Hydriz (talk) 14:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done A need for the admin tools was not really demonstrated. Several blocks (as test-admin) made in the name of vandal-fighting are also quite questionable, e.g. IPs blocked for 6 months after one edit, which is not even rolled back or deleted).

Yair rand

I've been doing technical work for the various sign language projects (such as the ASL Wikipedia) here on Incubator over the past two and a half years, helping build scripts to make it possible to view and edit sign language pages. This has frequently required requesting administrator assistance for every change to interface pages, which slows things down more than I'd like. (The fact that many of the scripts involved are in my userspace makes things easier, but a lot of changes need direct editing of Mediawiki-namespace pages.) More recently, I wrote a script to ease editing in general here on Incubator that, if implemented, would be a lot easier to maintain if I had interface editing rights.

This is a somewhat unconventional request, as I probably won't be focusing on most of the general work done by administrators (deletions, blocking, protection).

I am currently an administrator on the English Wiktionary and on Mediawiki.org, and was previously an admin on Wikidata (removed due to inactivity). --Yair rand (talk) 23:35, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

please give me a favor I want to help the wikimedia. best wishes.Mogoeilor (talk) 15:33, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I don't think any of us think your intentions are anything other than entirely appropriate, Mogoeilor. That said, no one supported your request here. One thing that is important to remember is that while this project is a multilingual project, and all languages are equally welcome, we do our administrative work in English. Every full administrator in this project speaks English at a -3 level or better (per self-reported Babel). It's very possible to be an extremely effective test-administrator with weak English. It's much harder to be a full administrator with weak English.
The other thing I think that MF-W was saying is that Wikimedia sees this project as far more than merely "a nice initiative". This project is an important part of Wikimedia's effort to make its projects more widely available. Accordingly, we work as hard to make sure everything on this project is done appropriately as people do, say, on English Wikipedia. StevenJ81 (talk) 18:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I need pages protection privilege (to protect some key pages across multiples changes )
  • I want Manipulate some scripts directly without posting request to another administrators (to save time)
  • I receive help from another incubated projects and I want to have the green light to make modifications on other projects if needed.

Thank you. --Bachounda (talk) 09:47, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion open until 09:47, 28 May 2017 (UTC) StevenJ81 (talk) 15:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning your needs beyond the test-administrator toolset, I have a couple of questions, related to your three points above:
  • Can you give an example of times when you needed page protection and couldn't get it? Incubator:Administrators' noticeboard is typically not so busy that we can't take care of such things fairly easily and promptly.
  • Again, can you give examples?
  • Typically, if your language skills are good enough to help these other projects, you and they can nominate you to be a test-admin on those projects, too. Most of the time, full administrators don't do anything on active individual test projects that regular users can't do, other than deleting pages on request.
StevenJ81 (talk) 15:58, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  1. First of all, I want to protect the pages of new users who have fewer than 50 changes for a defined period of time: this is a sample page that can be protected Wp/arq/الپاجة اللولانية: If we analyze the history of changes on this page, we see why it is important for us to have a minimum of protection for this page.
    That link is bad. Please correct it. What you're saying is that you want to semiprotect so that users with only at least 50 edits can change them? StevenJ81 (talk) 14:03, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Also ... once you've given the correct page link, please describe briefly what the issues have been. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:18, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  2. For the scripts in question, it is the editing tools that they do not actually work - Actually i am interested to correct by my self standard tools - add other extended Arabic letters used for writing. Other needs can appear in the future
    We could do this a different way, by giving you "translator" flag, but I understand.
  3. As I mentioned above, my first interest is the projects of Algeria, it is my maternal language - but during this week I received a request for 2 projects, the last of which came from Users of Wp/dag. I am therefore able to help technically not by my language skills, I do not speak and not write these languages.--Bachounda (talk) 08:50, 23 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]
    The general rule outside your tests is this: If you do certain tasks outside your tests, you have to be prepared to justify them. If the users of Wp/dag requested it, then you can justify it. Usually, we limit the full admin toolbox to people who are doing general work maintaining the Incubator. This is a borderline case. I'll see if any other admins/bureaucrats comment. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:03, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not think this is a very convincing request. Page protections are necessary only very rarely here. Also it would be better if you first made requests for page protection and editing of scripts to the existing admins (especially for the latter, as scripts can cause security issues). Steven says the rest about the 3rd point. --MF-W {a, b} 00:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
     Partly done. We very much appreciate your interest in Incubator and your test projects, and thank you for your continued involvement.
    For now, there is no consensus to promote to full administrator. Given that you have never requested a page protection, nor have you ever requested the editing of a script, we do not understand why you need these tools.
    • If you feel that pages need to be protected, please make that request at I:Administrators' noticeboard. We promise to take care of such requests promptly. However, you'll need to explain why the page requires protection, including both (a) what harm was done to the page and (b) why you think protection will help prevent further harm.
    • Similarly, if you need a script edited, please ask at I:AN, with a link to a sandbox copy of the script change.
    We are happy to renew your test-admin status for another year, to expire 2018-05-29.
    Once again, thank you for your service here! StevenJ81 (talk) 17:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your trust, and your help - It is true that some of my requests are not so frequent, and I accept your assessments and your decisions. hope that this new year will see the projects come out of the incubator - special thanks to StevenJ81 --Bachounda (talk) 21:58, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comp1089

I would like to request administrator access to Wikimedia Incubator. I have previously been a test admin at Wt/ba and Wt/mdf, I am currently a bureaucrat of the Bashkir Wikipedia. It can therefore be said that I'm definitely not new to the Wikimedia universe as a whole, and Incubator in particular. As an administrator, I would like to concentrate on the projects in the minority languages of Central and Eastern Europe (in collaboration with Wikimedia user groups and existent communities). I am planning to use the sysop rights to handle the following tasks:

  1. Maintaining existing Incubator projects (including, but not limited to Wt/ba, Wq/ba, Wy/ba): deleting unnecessary redirects, renaming pages without redirect, blocking users, undeleting pages etc., wherever necessary.
  2. Creating accounts during outreach events. This may be of particular importance due to my being a contact person for the user group for people with special needs (currently being created).
  3. Helping others translate various content pages via the Translate module, wherever necessary (Note: I do know that this is a duty of translation administrators, however Incubator administrators are given these rights by default).
  4. Other tasks where administrator access is required.

Becoming an administrator would enable me to consistently maintain the projects, without the need to apply for separate rights (test-admin, translation admin, account creator etc.) or the requirement of limiting my admin actions to one or several test wikis. Besides, I suppose that Incubator would benefit from having a sysop knowledgeable of "rarer" languages, and willing to promote the project in the Special Needs community. --Comp1089 (talk) 00:28, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am aware of that, I think I've read about some maintenance-related issues at the noticeboard before. I do want to help maintain the whole project. In addition, there's a right that test administrators do not have, and that would really come in handy while working with different test wikis: renaming categories (which is, incidentally, also a part of the 'overall maintenance'). --Comp1089 (talk) 09:15, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I would like to request admin toolset. I have already used some limited admin tool here because of handling of specific LTA, but I want to expand my scope of activities here. I've been interested in helping incubating projects and langcom before, and I'm partly doing this on Wikiversity BETA, which acts as an incubator for Wikiversity. I want to do the same in Wikimedia Incubator. Although everything I handled in relation to incubator was handled at the asking of MF-W, I hope I can do more for the incubator by expanding the scope of my activities. If anything changes, I will not be able to use CheckUser here. But I believe it's more valuable to be able to do some of what Steven has done before.

I think there is a lack of active administrators here to fight spam/vandalism. I have interest as well as experience of encountering vandalism. Granting the admin access will allow me to delete vandal/bad/test pages across the site and also block vandal users.

I would also like to be Bureaucrat to help with assigning user rights.

Note: Currently I have test-admin right at Wn/bn and Wq/bn.

Thanks in advance! –– T@hmid (T@lk) 05:05, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for your application. One thing I'm curious about, do you have a track record of dealing with vandalism here? Most of your mw-undo and mw-rollback are for undoing your edits, and it's hard to find if you've responded to vandalism. --Sotiale (talk) 09:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sotiale: Thanks for your response. Actually I have experience of encountering vandalism (and a lot of edits of undo/rollback) on wikidata, bnwiki, enwiki and many other wikis. But yes, you are right about my undo & rollback history of Incubator. The reason is I didn’t patroll Special:RecentChanges of Incubator that much. I only worked at my test wiki (Wn/bn & Wq/bn) and added categories to some other test wikis. But I am starting to enlarge my working area.
My focus as a test admin was to remove vandal/test pages from my test wiki (see my deletion log). And after getting admin access I will work all over Incubator to encounter vandalism. I will also be responsing at the I:RFD and other areas where admin actions are necessary. Thanks. –– T@hmid (T@lk) 12:41, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As mentioned by Sotiale, it's hard to judge with only 30+ admin-related actions and no undos/rollback at all (all were self-reverts). Additionally, user only started being reasonably active since February this year and out of the 4,695 edits made so far, 70% of them were made within the last 7 days. While admins here aren't as active, global sysops (21 other users, excluding me n MF-Warburg) and stewards (37 other users, excluding Sotiale) have access to admin tools here. --Minorax (talk) 03:08, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kaganer (Translation admin & Interface admin rights)

Hi all! I may help as Translation administrator & Interface administrator, if this is needed. Mostly I working in Meta-wiki and Commons, but translate experience is universally ;) My contribution in Incubator also is not empty. Kaganer (talk) 16:32, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome (back, I guess!). Done. I have given interface-admin as temporary for one year, as that's what the policy says needs to be done. --MF-W {a, b} 15:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd like to request administrator & interface administrator rights here in order to help out with maintenance work. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 11:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support; this would surely be highly beneficial to Incubator! --MF-W {a, b} 12:26, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jhs is active at langcom, he is regularly importing new wikis and is involved in creating new wikis, so I think Jhs needs these tools on incubatorwiki. Jhs was a steward before, and has been using the admin tool since then, so no problem. --Sotiale (talk) 12:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Sotiale (talk) 12:51, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, My test wiki admin rights for wymr will expire soon, I was confused about whether to request for test admin or full admin rights. But looking at tasks I need to perform for wymr. I think I should apply full admin rights and interface admin rights. That will also help incubator project in general, fighting vandalism, One thing I am sure of I won't do any harm. QueerEcofeminist (talk) 18:30, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I feel like test-adminship is the more appropriate right. --MF-W {a, b} 01:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @MF-Warburg, I already have access to admin and interface admin tools on mrwikisource, mrwikibooks and test and I do make sure before trying anything new that I am doing it right. So I haven't used XML import on this project. But I will soon do it. On top of it if community decides to keep me at test admin only it's fine with me. Thanks QueerEcofeminist (talk) 09:33, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same opinion as MF-W. As for the importer... remember you got the tool in July 2021? I'm still not sure why you never used it. --Sotiale (talk) 12:44, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sotiale, my health conditions were fluctuating, owing to few surgeries I have undergone through. xml import needs to prepare a file before import and i did not got enough time to do so, additionally when I tried it on other test wikis where I have access to same tools. user name of earlier contributors were not reflected as expected. So I stopped myself and started reading about imports. Still I am not sure about what to put in interwiki prefix as in my case mrwiki, mrwikisource, or something like that is not working. I have gone through all the help material I could, But I did not find it. I do work on these things as my health and life allows me. So its taking time to do the tests or read more and finally prepare a file without mistake. I am sorry if searching for answers on own, being technically less educated is something is problematic. Though I know I should have asked about it on relevant talkpages or asked any importers about it. I know about normal imports and I make heavy use of it on mrwikisource, mrwikibooks but xml import was bit different. I don't have issues with other admin tools, I am already using other things without any issues. I am sure once this interwiki prefix issue is resolved I will make use of import tools too. QueerEcofeminist (talk) 17:36, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @MF-Warburg, @Sotiale, Probably you both are not comfortable with granting me with sysop/interface sysop here, Its already way more than two weeks. Please extend my test sysop so that I can do what I was doing before. I was anyways fine with whatever the result is. thanks for your motivation anyways, as it was great help. QueerEcofeminist (talk) 12:39, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Done - Test-adminship for wy/mr until 8 Apr 2023. --MF-W {a, b} 10:11, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like to request for adminship on Incubator as it is requiring to carry out lot of maintenance works and admin related activities. However, unable to do the same in absence of the rights of the same. Thanks & Regards. Angpradesh (talk) 13:22, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Active in many Wikimedian and incubator projects. He is very active even in outreach activities and has been a very familiar face of Mumbai Wikimedia Community.He is sincere, hardworking and very helpful for others.123Shashwat (talk) 13:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think there is a need for this. --MF-W {a, b} 13:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is needed as it would be very handy for maintenance and managing, fixing redirects, duplications of images, templates issues, creating new user accounts for outreach activities,sending a message to multiple users at once, etc for Indic languages projects on incubator specifically and other incubator projects in general. If I could use my experience at Incubator, Mediawiki, and other Wikimedian peojects to do these things myself, I think it will make things easier for the team. Thanks Angpradesh (talk) 03:45, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I wanted to elaborate on my initial, short, comment as the discussion is not yet closed. In my opinion, the discussion confirmed that there is no need for this, based on the user's previous activities. Test-adminship for Wp/anp (where all the supporters have come from) seems more appropriate, if at all. --MF-W {a, b} 17:11, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, I haven't seen that much of what you're asking here for that. If you need it in several languages, request for test-adminship for the projects. I oppose for regular adminship as this request doesn't convince me. --Sotiale (talk) 07:44, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Tools available in test-adminship are of very limited use. I have availed the test-adminship twice. But I could not find those tools useful when it comes to work on ground level with mass. I am fine with being a normal user and contributor. Angpradesh (talk) 09:50, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because it has been asked, this is to inform you that in past I have been awarded with awards like India Star,The Golden Mumbai Barnstar, and Outreach Barnstar for my contribution towards outreach activities of English Wikipedia and other Indian Languages Wikimedia activities in Mumbai and India. Such Awards are Awarded to the special few for ones extraordinary achievement and contributions and being instrumental in making some difficult task of Wikimedia and Wikipedia a reality. You can watch this on my talk page in English language Wikipedia . Angpradesh (talk) 19:18, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Candidates' edit counts are very low compared to those who become admins on other wikis, so it's hard to tell if he has enough experience. (Of course, I understand that the premise here is different from other wikis). But, I've looked at logs where he has used admin rights as a test admin in his 3 years includes rollback, and I found very few records of him exercising admin rights, and he is not an admin on any other wiki, so I can't tell from other wikis. Therefore, I cannot judge whether he can properly exercise his rights as a regular administrator here. Thank you for candidacy.--Syunsyunminmin (talk) 05:12, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • He is a Reviewer in English Wikipedia. Besides, in Incubator he has contributed a lot more than that of any other users who had requested their adminship at their time. He has significant experiences in almost all aspects of wikimedia. He is competent enough and deserve to handle sysop rights in incubator wikimedia. Samyo (talk) 15:21, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    He also has little experience as a reviewer. Excluding test reviews, he has only two manual reviews[17]. Also, one of them is edit by spam user, which he accepts. So I have the same comment as before.--Syunsyunminmin (talk) 16:20, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mistakes are anticipated from Administrator of Wikimedia Incubator as well. That is why a provision has been made for new administrator, Any new admin should first propose (on the Community Portal for example) what they are going to do (certainly for mass-scale actionsbefore doing it. This is to prevent mass-scale mistakes that need to be reverted manually afterwards. Some time later (a few months or so), when the admin is used to common practices, this is no longer required. Samyo (talk) 02:16, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The short version of what I mean is that he has very few logged actions and I'm not sure if he understands the policy and can use advanced permissions appropriately. Policies also include policies you indicate. Anyway, I cannot agree with his request for the administrator. There is a difference between an article author and a wiki administrator. For example, if he had made many requests over the years that required many regular administrative actions, I might have agreed to this request. That's all my opinion.--Syunsyunminmin (talk) 05:21, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is interesting to view from the table below wherein the Admin score of Angpradesh has been compared with the listed top 14 Admins of Wikimedia Incubator. The Admin score of Angpradesh (with a status of a normal user) is quite at par with the existing Administrators of Wikimedia Incubator. In fact, he has obtained higher Admin score than at least four Administrators. If he would have used admin tool, his score might have increased up to highest level. I would welcome, if he is granted sysop rights to develop the incubator further.

I'd like to apply for Adminship. I've been a member of the Incubator since May 2020, and although this is nothing compared to those who are administrators (sysops, bureaucrats, etc.) today, I feel like contributing more to this community. It was here, on the Incubator, that I learned how most Wikis work (it could be said that I knew absolutely nothing about them) and got experience to work on and help improve other Wikiprojects (mainly English Wiktionary with some templates and modules). Because of that, I think that contributing to it as an administrator is a way to "pay back" all knowledge I got.

All this knowledge obtained through these four years has also granted me the necessary skills to manage user rights (and evidently other administrator-related responsibilities), resolve disputes, and enforce Incubator policies. I am committed to maintaining a high level of availability and responsiveness as an administrator.

Furthermore, I am a very unoccupied person (sounds sad but I'm currently an International Relations student, it simply doesn't consume much of my time), and I have a bunch of spare time to contribute here. All of this free time has always instigated me to come here now and then (being active for as long as 4~ months and then "disappearing") to help people out at the Community portal, or try — again and again — to manage, improve and instigate activity at Wp/hrx.

While I recognize that my past activity pattern may raise questions, I can assure you that I'm able to maintain a consistent activity (check my recent English Wiktionary activity for reference). I am certain that I could use this free time and the knowledge I got to help the Incubator itself and its users (as I've been doing lately).

(I've also been a test-admin for Wp/hrx during 2020-2021 and 2022-2023, but I don't think this is relevant considering that its rights are confined to the test wiki.)

I will, though, understand if I’m not approved, since I'm quite new compared to others who are much more experienced (both timewise and knowledge-wise) and my come-and-go activity pattern may cause doubt on some. I will keep on contributing and improving the Incubator in any way I can, nevertheless.

Best regards, Iohanen (João) (talk) 07:57, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello. I was surprised to see you have only ca. 2200 edits on Incubator and 3500 globally. Also you have been inactive for ca. 8 months before becoming active again 10 days ago. However you're already addressing this topic in your request. I would like to know what exactly you propose to do as an administrator - in which areas will you make use of the tools? --MF-W {a, b} 21:10, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @MF-Warburg: Well, like you said I had been inactive for the last 8 months, and what I noticed when I came back (again) is that many pages, even Incubator main pages are easily vandalized and that this goes unnoticed. Check, for example, the Help:Editing page that was left vandalized for almost a month. Other examples, inside Test-wikis for instance, are not uncommon.
    I don't think the number of edits I've made is relevant, considering I'm by no means completely new to Wikimedia and MediaWiki itself, but as you put it, I have ca. 2200 edits here out of ca. 3500 globally, which demonstrates that I've gone through the most part of my time as a user of Wikimedia projects contributing to the Incubator. My edits here were mostly related to the Hunsrik Test-wiki, and that's why I spent a lot of that time creating templates and modules (which are large in size but small in number of edits). Today, I am trying, together with User:Piterkeo (a native and expert in the Hunsrik language, owner of this website) to increase the linguistic corpus of the language through Test-wiki, but this is not relevant to the discussion raised here.
    In relation to the areas in which I propose to use the tools, I would like to focus on cleaning and rolling back vandalized pages whenever possible. I also noticed that most of the articles for speedy delete are not deleted speedily as expected, so I would like to contribute to this too. Another thing I noticed is that many people spend some time waiting for answers both here and in other areas of the Incubator, such as Incubator:Requests for starting a test, while no one answers them (specially there, here is not the case, I would just like to make things happen quicker here). Of course, I don't want to make a value judgment here, I'm just stating what I noticed. So, these are the areas that I believe I am capable of contributing to the Incubator.
    Lastly, out of 12 administrators in the Incubator, at least three are not active according to this very own policy («"Inactive" means virtually no edits or log actions in the past twelve months.») and some have not made significant actions in the last 12 months (which then aligns with my case of being "inactive" [not inactive in this case] for 8 months, but I do not agree with this activity pattern).

    Best regards, Iohanen (Garcez) (talk) 00:10, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And of course I would very much like to keep helping people on the Community portal (helping with Main, MediaWiki, Module and Template namespaces and any other doubt one might have).
    Best regards, again, Iohanen (Garcez) (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Iohanen: As there were no objections to your request (I also had none to bring up after reading your thoughtful answers), you are now an administrator. Congratulations and I look forward to working with you. --MF-W {a, b} 18:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, sir! I also look forward to working with you and all the other administrators!

Hello, I'm requesting for administrator rights here to take care of Incubator and other projects currently running here. Also to response to speedy deletion /deletion requests from various projects, and administrative works. I'm aware of all Incubator Policy and Administration policy as well. Hope you'll raise your concerns before going opposition. Thanks. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 10:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This request seems to me come a bit suddenly. You were active last year in Wn/bn, but have only started "meta" activities in this month. --MF-W {a, b} 07:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MF-Warburg, I got inactive for my temporary personal issues, later an interim war began in my country. W:2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement. As an activist of the movement, I became fully inactive during the time. But now I'm here again, became a regular contributor from now on, and want to began cleanup. I'll not mention about fighting against vandals, because I don’t need the permission for fighting against vandals. But those vandals who's continuously doing their work (vandalism) should be stop by an administrator, reporting on Administrators noticeboard takes a little-long time to get response from current administrators, so I wanna also focus on this. I can also do it with my test-sysop permission, but that doesn’t seems correct to me, outside my test wiki. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 08:11, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your volunteering. However, if your words are valid, you can demonstrate your capabilities after a few more months of activity. Since this is included in the GS wikiset, there is not much demand for regular admins for general maintenance. At this point, I'm still not sure if you're a good fit here as a regular admin, so I'd encourage you to reapply after you've demonstrated your capabilities. Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 12:47, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ufs, didn't noticed that this is also included in GS wikiset. Thank you. Need to extend my test-sysop rights on Wn/bn. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 13:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
