Steward requests/Miscellaneous

Shortcut:
SRM

This page is for Wikimedia wikis having no active administrators. Requests can be made here for specific administrative actions (such as page deletion) to be performed by a steward or global sysop. In other cases:

If the wiki does have active administrators, file the request with one of them.
If the wiki has an active editor community, any potentially controversial action (deletion of actual content, edit to a protected page, renaming of a protected page, etc.) should receive consensus from the wiki community before being requested here, and a link should be provided to that consensus in the request.
For global lock/block requests, file a request at Steward requests/Global.
For non-controversial deletion requests such as empty page, simple spam or vandalism, and non-controversial or emergency requests to block vandals, spammers or other malicious users, you may use global sysop requests instead.
If a consensus is considered required to act, similar principles apply as expressed at Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements, and can be used for guidance to how and what should be done at small and medium communities to gain a consensus.

To add a new request, create a new section header at the bottom of the "Manual requests" section using the format below:

=== Very brief description of request here ===
{{Status|In progress}}
Give details about your request here. --~~~~

It is helpful if you can provide a link to the wiki (or the specific page on the wiki) in question, either in the header or in the body of your request.

When reporting cross-wiki vandalism, the following template calls can be used to link to a user's contributions across all Wikimedia content wikis (these are for logged in users and non-logged-in users, respectively):

* {{sultool|Username}}

* {{luxotool|IP.address}}

Template {{LockHide}} can also be used in appropriate cases.

To request approval of OAuth consumers please use {{oauthapprequest}} (see the documentation before using).

Old requests are archived by the date of their last comment.

150 spam ?

Status: In progress

All 150 contributions/articles on Studio 54 Network (here in "simple english" for example) appear to be spam ? --Arroser (talk) 12:25, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Arroser: Simple Wikipedia has local sysops, GS or Stewards can't help you. simple:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:27, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiBayer: : Simple english was only an example, to have links on the article, on the others WP. The real problem is not only this language, but the 150 articles i think. --Arroser (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please link articles that are at global sysop-enabled wikis then? THanks! Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:31, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK Wikidata d:Q39841 Article created by Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino. Article are in ak:Radio_Studio_54_Network bm:Radio_Studio_54_Network ca:Radio_Studio_54_Network and more.𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:37, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should delete these pages. The content is 1 line + Links. This is not Useful for the projects. Please more opinions. --𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 19:01, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiBayer I agree Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:02, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

.:@WikiBayer I agree as well. EstrellaSuecia (talk) 17:06, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If we are talking Radio Studio 54 Network (Q39841) then really shouldn't they be raised with the individual wikis. It is not up to this place to determine the notability nor whether pages that have been considered a reasonable addition for 8+ years after they were created. That has not been our role previously, and without some broader discussion through an RFC I don't think that we should act. Different from asking stewards or GS to act as administrators at these wikis where a legitimate conversation has taken place. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

billinghurst the problem i'm seeing is that this is a massive crosswiki borderline hoax :/ Praxidicae (talk) 00:20, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Praxidicae: The item is visible at so many major wikis so who are we at this wiki to make that determination with the scope that we have been granted by the communities in our rights allocation. The processes for deletion of out of scope material is set to belong to local wikis. If the major wikis went about their investigations and came to their determinations, then these determinations flowed out to the wikis, then we have the scope to act. Tell/show me where it is in scope for this forum to be the instigator for such actions. Yes, it means more work, yes it is a PITA, but once we start that slippery slope of granting ourselves the power, then … No thanks, let us act within scope. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:38, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I wasn't advocating for doing anything, it was just a comment in general. Praxidicae (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@billinghurst Quote "The item is visible at so many major wikis ... The processes for deletion of out of scope material"

I don't see that as "Out of Scope". One line and the web links is not useful content. Pages with useful content should not be deleted by GS, but pages like in the akWP can, in my opinion, be deleted using Reason "Crosswiki Spam/no useful content". --𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 13:21, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am making zero judgment on the articles. I am talking about the community specified roles of global sysops and stewards.

Out of scope for global sysops and stewards to speedy delete 8 year old articles. Out of scope for Steward requests/Miscellaneous to determine local wikis deletion processes. If you were doing works added today, maybe. Works added in 2012 should go through due process at the wikis. These wikis, they own their issues, we don't. Don't start making this role to be more than we have been elected to do. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletions on suwiki

Status: In progress

Please clean su:Kategori:Artikel_anu_kudu_dihapus. Thanks! Bencemac (talk) 06:44, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning suwiki admins A2613 and RXerself as they've have been recently active over there. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:57, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mssetiadi: I see that you are active, can you please address this matter. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:19, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RXerself and Mssetiadi: Is there issues having the current suWP administrators undertake the maintenance tasks? Please would you be able to sort this out otherwise global sysops will just have to do it with less understanding of the issues than you. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:54, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hide revisions by removed user on fiwiktionary

Status: being undertaken by email

A vandal added personal information and sexual images on the pages on Finnish Wiktionary. Someone removed the usename, because it also had personal information in it. Now, it seems adminstrators can't hide edits by a removed user. Can a steward hide these edits? --Hunsvotti (talk) 17:44, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Which account are you talking about? Ruslik (talk) 20:53, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no account anymore as it was deleted. I can email links to the diffs, if you can hide them, or post them here if someone can hide them right away. --Hunsvotti (talk) 16:10, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hunsvotti: The account will be hidden, rather than deleted. If you don't know the user name, then you may need to identify one of the pages that were edited so that the steward can progress. If you cannot list them on a page then you may need to email stewards

Ok, thanks. I'll email them when I find the urls. I actually forgot where I put them. --Hunsvotti (talk) 08:32, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consider the Another Wiki User the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Guest accounts the same for most purposes

Status: Not done

Hello! I am making a request to consider all of the accounts starting with "Another Wiki User" the same account so that A. I don't lose all progress when I make a new account B. I can edit in my guest account and have edits copied to my main account.

Technical requests belong in phabricator:. Good luck with that, I doubt that it will be possible. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:35, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't require merging the accounts, dummy. Another Wiki User the 3rd (talk) 15:33, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What else are you requesting? --Zabe (talk) 15:42, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing. Another Wiki User the 3rd (talk) 19:09, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Who said anything about merge. Take it to phabricator. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move needed

Status: requires steward

Per Talk:VRT, I closed the move request as successful with consensus, however, there seems to have a system limit. I am not sure if this can be bypassed by stewards or do it need a phab. Parking here first as maybe a steward can execute w/o facing the system limit of "This translatable page consists of over 500 pages. Moving this many pages has been found to be unreliable. Please contact a system administrator to do this via a maintenance script.". Thanks so much. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:01, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will require stewards as will require "bigdelete" right per special:listgrouprights / mw:Manual:User rights / wgDeleteRevisionsLimit ('default' => 5000) — billinghurst sDrewth 14:49, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OAuth permissions

Preferably permission requests should be submitted using the form from Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration.

After submitting this form, you will receive a token that your application will use to identify itself to MediaWiki. An OAuth administrator will need to approve your application before it can be authorized by other users. It is possible to request approval using {{oauthapprequest}}, please create a sub-section to this part.

A few recommendations and remarks:

Try to use as few grants as possible. 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 "*" for all projects).
The email address provided must match that of your account (which must have been confirmed).

Викикарьерист

Status: Not done

Если написал не там, где надо переместите или удалите.

Энциклопедист свободного контента ярко выраженный викикарьерист: в Русской Википедии он хотел стать бюрократом (бессрочно заблокирован), в викиданных — администратором после 20 правок (бессрочно заблокирован), в викисловаре стремится к автопатрулируемому. Не удивлюсь если подаст заявку на статус стюарда. Будьте осторожнее в присвоении любых флагов.--Блинов Рюрик Петрович (talk) 18:49, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Блинов Рюрик Петрович: Russian Wikipedia matters can only be resolved at Russian Wikipedia, they are a self-managing wiki with their own decision-making policies and processes. Nothing can be done here. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:55, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
