Line 1: {{dynamite\|title=:Steward requests/Miscellaneous/Header}} ~~{{Steward request~~ __FORCETOC__ ~~\| title = Multilingual Speedy Deletions~~ <!-- bot --> ~~\| shortcut = SRSD~~ <!--{{/Bot-reported}}--> \| text= Sometimes someone will find an obvious candidate for [[speedy deletion]] on a language they do not speak. In that case, they can list the pages here, and then an admin on the project where the page was found, a [[steward]] or a [[global sysop]] can decide whether to delete the page or to remove the listing. To add a listing in a language that isn't already here, create a new section header: == Bot-reported requests == ~~<code><nowiki>==== Requests for [[xx:]] ====</nowiki></code>~~ See [[Global sysops/Speedy delete requests]]. == Manual requests == ~~This page can also be used to delete pages on new wikis that don't have a "votes for deletion" page.~~ <!-- New request at the bottom of this section, thanks! --> === is.wikisource Undeletion request 1/4 === {{Status\|In progress}} This is the first of many undeletion requests for is.wikisource after an excessive deletion spree by Stefán Örn. This was posted to the local village pump at [[:s:is:Wikiheimild:Potturinn#Afeyðing_síðna]], where Stefán said there could have been mistakes, but proceeded not taking any action on any of the requested items or commenting on specific points. Stefáns point of view was to update things in accordance to the english wikisource, as mentioned on [[:s:is:User talk:Snævar]], but many things where deleted that fall outside of that definition. I only disagree with this overshoot of his originally stated intention, keeping templates in line with en.wikisource is fine by me. One of the few things me and Stefán can agree on is that the community is not large enough to make their own templates. Comments on individual pages are indented. Any comments here on what was on the pages is as seen through dumps of is.wikisource prior to deletion and my own memory. Comments here have been translated from my original post on the local village pump, sometimes with added context. ~~Please use this page only to report articles that need deleting. To report other vandalism issues, see [[vandalism reports]].~~ }} ~~__FORCETOC__~~ Snið:StripWhitespace ~~<!-- bof -->~~ :Template, was an redirect to Template:Trim, was used on 7 pages. ~~{{/Bot-reported}}~~ Snið:Trim ~~== Manual requests ==~~ :History merge with current page, if possible, else delete current one and undelete old one. Template, was used on 7 pages, mostly through template:stripWhitespace. Was updated only a couple of days prior to deletion from english wikipedia, which is the source of the english wikisource template. ~~Please see [[tools:~erwin85/delete.php]] for a list of pages tagged with {{tl\|Delete}} and/or the local equivalent.~~ :'''Quick links''': [//toolserver.org/~erwin85/delete.php 0 sysops] - [//toolserver.org/~erwin85/delete.php?sysops=3&timestamp={{#TIME:Ymd\|-1 month}} 3 sysops / 1 month ago] - [//toolserver.org/~erwin85/delete.php?sysops=5&timestamp={{#TIME:Ymd\|-3 months}} 5 sysops / 3 months ago] Wikiheimildspjall:Um verkefnið ~~=== Requests for a single wiki ===~~ :Chatpage containing chat of former active users about the page, puts the history of the page into perspective.

Wikiheimild:Stjórnendur/Eldri umsóknir ~~=== Multi-wiki requests ===~~ :Did contain former requests for adminship, tells a part of the story of the website, which can only be a good thing. Wikiheimild:Merkisáfangar ~~==Templates==~~ :Another history of the project erasure. Did contain milestones of the project, like which text was the 100th and so on. The same page on the icelandic wikipeedia sisterproject has been referenced several times by local media, indicating it´s importance. Did offer to keep the page up to date. ~~The following templates are used to set up the basic {{[[template:delete\|delete]]}} structure on wikis.~~ Snið:Óklárað ~~{\| class="wikitable"~~ :Try to history merge with Snið:Incomplete, else delete Snið:Incomplete and undelete old one as they are the same. I am aware and ok with the template ending up at Snið:Incomplete due to the merge. Contained an template for unfinished works. Was used on the pages Arnbjörg, Grasnytjar, Norsk æfintýri and Æfisaga Jóns Ólafssonar Indíafara. Was updated from english wikisource shortly before deletion. Snið:Ambox :Try to history merge with current template, else delete current one and undelete old one. Was used by Snið:Óklárað. This family of templates (ambox, ombox, etc.) are commonly used for maintainance notices. Was newly created at the time of deletion and was up to date with the english wikisource. Snið:Hrá mynd :Try to history merge with Snið:Raw image, else delete Snið:Raw image and undelete old one as they are the same. I am aware and ok with the template ending up at Snið:Raw image due to the merge. Template, from english wikisource, same as Template:Raw image. Was created after an discussion between Bjarki S and me, where he wanted a simpler way to link images. Has been used several times by three different users, but never on an permenent basis, and thus was unused at the time of deletion, but still useful. The underlying module, Module:RawImage exists. Snið:X-smaller block :Try to history merge with current template, else delete current one and undelete old one. Used by Snið:Hrá mynd, also from english wikisource.--[[User:Snævar\|Snævar]] ([[User talk:Snævar\|talk]]) 01:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC) ===Interface admin request on siwiki=== {{Status\|In progress}} Hello, our [[:si:මාධ්‍යවිකි:Common.css\|MediaWiki:Common.css]] is outdated & we currently don't have any Interface administrators.

Although it seems like all the previous versions are indeed copies of the English Wikipedia styles. I guess as long as siwiki also copies all the other infrastructure from enwiki this does make sense, but one might want to have styles that are specific to Sinhala. --[[User:Base\|Base]] ([[User talk:Base\|talk]]) 20:44, 29 December 2024 (UTC) :::::Base is right it always Synchronized with the English Wikipedia version. The current file is sometime forcing the existing new styles to it's old version. :::::Hey, so anyone can tell me why the page name is still visible even in the [[Si:මුල් පිටුව\|Main Page]]. I think it also because of the Common.css file. --[[User:IDB.S\|IDB.S]] ([[User talk:IDB.S\|talk]]) 02:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC) ::::::I didn't have time to go through the new code yet. But since we are using a layout quite similar to English Wikipedia, usually we can use the CSS available on enwiki. If I remember correct I tested the effects on my account before requesting the replace. Please make sure the same this time too. -- [[User:Lee\|Lee]] ([[User talk:Lee\|talk]]) 04:44, 30 December 2024 (UTC) * Comment: If the existing css causes problems and the problems are believed to be fixed if the code from enwiki is used is it not worth a try?

This is not an ordinary request to do something but a suggestion for a project to clean up in unused files. In the [[Requests for comment/Disable local uploads on smaller wikis\|RFC from 2016 "Disable local uploads on smaller wikis"]] someone wrote that "Smaller wikis are typically a graveyard of copyrighted content". Files can only be hosted on a wiki if they meet the requirements in [[:wmf:Resolution:Licensing_policy]] so all unused non-free files and files without a license or source/author should be fixed or deleted. There are 868 wikis and it is almost impossible for one person to check them all. So I made a list in [[User:MGA73/UnusedFiles]] with the 320 wikis that have unused files. My idea is that if someone would like to help check they go to a random wiki and check the files: * If the files are good they move them to Commons or ignore them * If the files are bad they fix them, delete them or tag them with no license etc. * Once a wiki is checked the wiki is removed from the list The format of the list is this: {\| class="wikitable sortable" \|- ! Wiki ~~\| <nowiki>[[Template:Delete]]</nowiki>~~ ! Files ~~\| <div style="width:100%; overflow:auto;"><pre>~~ ~~{\| style="margin:0.5em; padding:0.5em; background:#FEE; border:1px solid #999;"~~ \|- \| https://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles \|\| 574 ~~\| [[Image:Icono aviso borrar.png\|60px\|left]]~~ \| <big>'''This page has been nominated for speedy deletion.'''</big><br />{{#if:{{{1\|}}}\|The reason given is "{{{1}}}". }}If you disagree with its speedy deletion, please explain why on [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}\|its talk page]]. If this page obviously does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from a page that you have created yourself. <span class="plainlinks">''Administrators, remember to check [[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}\|if anything links here]] and [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}\|action=history}} the page history] ([{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}\|diff=0}} last edit]) before [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}\|action=delete}} deletion].''</span> ~~\|}<includeonly>{{{category\|[[Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]]}}}</includeonly>~~ ~~</pre></div>~~ \|- \| https://als.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles \|\| 67 ~~\| <nowiki>[[Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]]</nowiki>~~ \|- ~~\| <div style="width:100%; overflow:auto;"><pre>This category is used by [[m:Steward requests/Speedy deletions]] until local administrators are available.</pre></div>~~ \| https://ang.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles \|\| 1 \|- \| https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UnusedFiles \|\| 6 \|} But it can be changed if anyone have a better idea. Depending on how many would like to help it could take weeks or months to complete. So if there is a better place for this notice let me know. --[[User:MGA73\|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73\|talk]]) 12:11, 28 March 2025 (UTC) === Deleting files on ang.wikibooks === {{Status\|In progress}} There are a bunch of unused and unlicensed files in [[:b:ang:Special:UnusedFiles]]. The wiki is locked but I made a list in my sandbox on meta: [[User:MGA73/Sandbox]] Actually it seems that most (or all?) files on that wiki are unlicense. Some are duplicates of files on Commons but I can't replace them because the wiki is locked. All files can be seen on [[:b:ang:Flocc:Files with no machine-readable license]]. --[[User:MGA73\|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73\|talk]]) 14:28, 3 April 2025 (UTC) : If a steward start by deleting the unused files I can perhaps make a list of the files that are also on Commons. But it will be easier if the unused are deleted first. --[[User:MGA73\|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73\|talk]]) 14:06, 24 April 2025 (UTC) ::{{ping\|MGA73}} I've deleted the unused files to begin with, since they were all also unlicensed (though two of them are on Commons under the same name). <b>[[User:EPIC\|<span style="color:blue">EPIC</span>]] ([[User talk:EPIC\|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]])</b> 15:01, 26 April 2025 (UTC) :::{{ping\|EPIC}} Thank you!

More clearly said: All of the files in [[:b:ang:Flocc:Files with no machine-readable license]] are unlicensed and should be mass deleted. --[[User:MGA73\|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73\|talk]]) 05:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC) ==OAuth permissions== {{messagebox\|text= Preferably permission requests should be submitted using the form from [[Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration]].

Avoid grants that are not actually needed now. * Versions are of the form "major.minor.release" (the last two being optional) and increase as grant changes are needed. * Please provide a public RSA key (in PEM format) if possible; otherwise a (less secure) secret token will have to be used. * Use the JSON restrictions field to limit access of this consumer to IP addresses in those CIDR ranges. * You can use a project ID to restrict the consumer to a single project on this site (use "<code></code>" for all projects).
