About WP:BIGDELETE intervention on eswiki.

Greetings. I'm the owner of the sandboxes that were requested to hace their history merged. It was a large list of 31 articles to be merged, therefore, I had to make an special request at the board on eswiki on two parts.
Thank you very much for merging some of these this morning, but I've noticed that there are still some remaining and are the ones from part 2 of the original request. I don't know if you overlooked them because they were not on the first part or because you had some trouble doing the merger. If it was because you couldn't understand the request post, the remaining ones are in a separate list below the line that reads Artículos involucrados (parte 2). The article with the definitive name is the same as the first part. Thanks.--MexTDT (talk) 23:15, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

MexTDT, hi, you are welcome. I just postponed them to do in a second batch because I had to go AFK. I will finish merging in an hour or so :) --Base (talk) 23:40, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

I understand, take your time. Thank you very much.--MexTDT (talk) 23:43, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Sunday November 29 Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network meeting

Take flight with us.

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas on the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for a future Global Council.

Following up on the August, September, and October SWAN meetings, and June's All-Affiliates Brand Meeting, as well as strategic and outreach topics of mutual concern to all affiliates including the recent proposed changes to the Wikimedia Foundation Bylaws, this month we are meeting on Sunday November 29, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

(Note that the UTC times of 03:00 UTC and 19:00 UTC are the same as before, although a number of places have had daylight savings time changes since our last meeting).--Pharos (talk) 01:26, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Sysop in vi.wiktionary

Regarding this. I've contacted the vi.wiktionary's crat on 3 different channels (Wiktionary, Wikipedia and Wikidata). If he doesn't respond within a month from now, can you just go ahead and grant sysop flag to the user elected by the community? We don't want to decrat someone just because of one isolated incident. Thanks! Nguyentrongphu (talk) 04:19, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Nguyentrongphu, yes, I personally think that would be reasonable enough at that point, though I will consult with colleagues before undertaking such an action. I have also now messaged them on Facebook and via Jabber, hopefully one of our attempts to reach them does succeed. --Base (talk) 04:45, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Вандализм в Татарской Википедии

Доброе утро! Посоветуйте пожалуйста с вопросом автоматической отмены правок участника w:tt:User:Marat-avgust и его робота w:tt:User:IanraBot в Татарской Википедии от 27 и 28 октября 2020 года. Данные правки обсуждались в ТатВики, были подтверждены и другими админами, что участник (к тому же он неактивный админ) занимается Вандализмом. Так-как у нас нет бюрократа, то и лишить статуса админа мы его не можем, а блокировку он сможет легко убрать в любой момент, поэтому надо еще и лишить его статуса админа, а второго статуса бота.--Ilnur efende (talk) 06:08, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

(Для истории, поскольку обсудили в Телеграме: сообщество татарской Википедии проведёт голосование по снятию с участника флагов администратора и бота и подаст запрос к ботоводам откатить изменения сделанные этим участником.) --Base (talk) 12:57, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

3 бессрочных блокировки по ошибке в литовской Википедии

Добрый день! Около недели назад 3 участника литовской Википедии (w:lt:User:Sociaken, w:lt:User:Kaulaz и w:lt:User:Nojucka) были бессрочно заблокированы по ошибке. Одним словом, администраторы подумали, что все эти 3 участника якобы являются моими куклами (см. w:ru:Википедия:Многоликость), но это не так! Вы можете в этом убедится, сравнив мой ip-адрес с ip-адресом этих кукол. Администраторам данного раздела я уже писал, но они на это никак не реагируют. Прошу разобратся с этим беспорядком. --7elteven (talk) 12:49, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Sunday January 10 Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network meeting

Into the blue.

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas on the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for a future Global Council.

Принцип работы инструмента перевода

При переводе подготовленного на русском отчёта инструмент перевода продублировал теги языков поверх уже готового /ru. Как-то это можно исправить, ну или хотя б откатить, дабы я всё сделал по новой? Заранее спасибо. Красный^{wanna talk?} 16:15, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Красный, привет, исправил. Необходимо отмечать к переводу страницу без суффикса языка. Это несколько необычно когда статья не на английском является источником перевода, но поскольку в данном случае перевод проводится именно с русского это правильно и нормально. --Base (talk) 19:31, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Ну, мне просто не нравилось, что у нас типично статья на русском с англоязычным заголовком, так что попытался как-то это исправить. Вышло не ахти. :) Спасибо. Красный^{wanna talk?} 22:51, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Красный, да, по-хорошему название должно быть на русском, а для английского указываться перевод в первом блоке перевода (как обычно при переводе с английского). Если решишь переименовать страницу группы, обрати внимание что был раньше такой баг: phab:T114592, написано что пофиксили, но я всё же, от греха подальше, начал бы переименование с переводимых подстраниц, а корневой переводимой страницей группы бы уже закончил. --Base (talk) 23:07, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

A request to have the deletion of my user-page undone

Hi Base: I know this is ancient history, but until today I did not have the courage to ask you about this. In 2017 you deleted my user page with this explanation:"not created by the user", and I have always been puzzled by your action.

I simply cannot figure out why anyone would want to put information on my user-page that was so offensive that it required an admin to delete the page, rather than simply reverting the content if it was deemed offensive.

I would like to have my page returned to the same condition it was in on the day it was deleted. I am particularly interested in the contribution history of my page.

Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 16:52, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ottawahitech. It had one revision only, so I could not revert it, so had to delete it instead :) It was created by User:Breezy macma and said "Beyonce and nicki minaj". The user was just making nonsense edits here and there. --Base (talk) 17:47, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

A few question in regards to TranslateWiki

Hey there, User:Base! I hope all's well with you.

You granted me temporary adminship on December 2 for hyw Wikipedia (view here) and I've got a question! I know TranslateWiki interface translations take time, but some features have not yet changed. For example, hyw Wiki search filters are still the default from hy Wiki, even though there are no such terms left untranslated on TW. Any advice on that? Please let me know if you can be of any help with this, as I'm a little confused.

Best, Shahen --Շահէն (talk) 14:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Շահէն, hello. Do you mean "Search by relevance" and such? It is in this group, it has quite a few messages to be translated: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-advancedsearch&language=hyw&filter=!translated&action=translate . If you add ?uselang=qqx (or &uselang=qqx if the URL already had a "?") to the URL then you will load the page with message names instead of their values. Then you can go to TWN (TranslateWiki.Net) and open the page MediaWiki:<the message name>/hyw and edit it. Or you can just search for translations using the search field on TWN main page. --Base (talk) 00:17, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:Base! I know how to translate these, but sometimes content that have been translated on TranslateWiki are still in default mode when you check it on the interface of hyw Wiki. Let me know if there's something I'm missing. Is there something interface admins should do from backend, or is this completely solvable via TranslateWiki by regular users as well? Please advise, and thank you again for your swift reply! Best, --Շահէն (talk) 12:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Email address to contact the Wikimedia Ukraine chapter

Greetings, Bohdan! This is User:Deborahjay, communities coordinator for the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) 2021 campaign. I'm updating our list of email addresses and contact people for chapters and user groups worldwide. Please note a discrepancy in email addresses for the Wikimedia Ukraine chapter:

• On the table of Wikimedia_chapters#Existing_chapters, the M[ail] is listed as wm-ua(_AT_)wikimedia.org
• On the Wikimedia Ukraine page, the contact email address is info(_AT_)wikimedia.org.ua
• (The chapter's mailing list isn't relevant for WPWP's purposes.)

Perhaps the optimal action would be to reconcile these two and ping me here. I'll watch for your response. Thanks! -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:35, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

• Deborahjay, hi, both email addresses are valid, but info@ is better when timely response is required at the moment. There is also wikimedia-ua-announcelists.wikimedia.org where we have public announcements about our activities (open to both members and non-members) and wikimediaualists.wikimedia.org is our member only private list. --Base (talk) 08:11, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks so much, Bohdan, for the info and swift reply! As WPWP's outreach stage aims to put a user name for contact each affiliate, may I list yours as chapter secretary? -- Deborahjay (talk) 09:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

User talk:85.238.102.83

Hi. I would have an expectation that as a local admin that where you are blocking someone, that you are in communication with them, rather than playing hand of God only. This is especially the case where you have blocked someone on more than one occasion. Otherwise bringing the matter to your fellow admins attention and informing them of the situation. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, billinghurst, I hoped that the action summary I have given when blocking both times was providing sufficient information, but if not I am truly sorry. I hope that the explanation I have given on Minorax's talk page explains the situation better. And FYI as I am 99% sure that the person starting that topic there is the same person as the one blocked, I am going to block them as well. --Base (talk) 14:58, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

For the record I have moved forward to block the ISP range as they kept evading. I have provided some more context at Minorax's talk page. --Base (talk) 15:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Something that we may wish to consider in time is range blocks solely focused on Translation: ns where we have specific user problems, and we can deal with the other issues as they arise with targeted blocks, and abuse filters. Of course I could always write an abuse filter solely focused on Translation: ns and restrict based on IP addresses and other like components, but partial blocks just seems so much easier club to handle.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

 It is very unfortunate that Translate does not let one protect particular translation pages. In this case protecting a couple of Ukrainian translations of UCoC and potentially a few other things would do the job (at least it will bring down the frustration of users that were working on those and had to keep an eye on what the LTA is doing to fix it back). A partial block is a good idea I haven't thought about it, because although it is unlikely to have someone from those ISPs being active on Meta as a good faith editor (because there are really just a handful of Ukrainians active here) there is this risk anyway so it is good to limit the harm. As to AbuseFilter well yeah it is possible to create one, but it is usually a pain to maintain those especially when you are dealing with someone with an agenda rather than just a bunch of spambots. --Base (talk) 07:20, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Billinghurst For the record, filter 277 is now in place after I had to block a dozen IPs (and revert ~10 translation edits per IP) within an hour or so. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:31, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

@1234qwer1234qwer4: Consider doing harder targeted IP blocks for a longer period. As in block IP ranges from Translation: ns for a longer period. We can also consider stopping IP edits on the uk-lang page stem. Sometimes we have to apply benevolent hardships.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:23, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Billinghurst, this is a long-term abuser. We don't usually do partial blocks for them. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:08, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

@1234qwer1234qwer4: I am not a nonce. I don't normally hand out gratuitous advice, so ... You range blocked for a few days, and I am suggesting that it would be possible to range block a namespace for longer with little likelihood of problematic consequences and maximising the elimination of the problem that we encounter.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:19, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

The edit filter should be stopping all problematic edits anyway, but feel free to adjust the block settings for it. I am not sure which range you are talking about. Sorry if I sounded unfriendly. ~~~~

Наверное можно при желании. Тут как раз у Anthere можно спросить. Any idea where the permissions changed were logged in some form back in the days? Or did people just poke each other on IRC to have flags granted and that was it? --Base (talk) 09:59, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I completely confirm that Looxix (who is no more active I believe) and I are dinosaurs and precede many logs set ups. Before single log-in, I used to have Account #3 on the French Wikipedia with MediaWiki (and Brion Vibber had #1 and #2...). And I became an admin in the first version of the software (over a year before Mediawiki was installed), when there was no admin rights management at all ! I actually was given direct access to the server by Jimbo around summer 2002, and I was deleting articles using code directly on the server (oh my God !!!). So yeah... my first rights on Wikipedia were granted by Jimbo... On Commons, the rights were granted by Eloquence. On meta... I have no memory, very likely Brion Vibber.

Following up on the August, September, October, November, January, February, March, April, and June, July, and September SWAN meetings, as well as last June's All-Affiliates Brand Meeting, as well as strategic and outreach topics of mutual concern to all affiliates including Movement Charter Drafting Committee Set Up Process, Next Steps for Brand Work, 2021, Wikipedia Asian Month 2021, and other ongoing activities.

This month we are meeting on Sunday October 31, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

(UTC meeting times are 03:00 UTC and 18:30 UTC – *Note that we have shifted the second call a half-hour later in UTC time due to WikidataCon*.)--Pharos (talk) 01:22, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

DonRumata

@Герман Мейстер

Я не уверен, но мне кажется

Участник DonRumata удаляет многие страницы, созданные участниками Викисловаря, под названиями: свободное словосочетание, окказионализм и т.д. Я не знаю считается ли это нарушением правил и нужно ли снимать с него флаги бюрократа и/или администратора, но похоже на злоупотребление прав???--Блинов Рюрик Петрович (talk contributions) 08:40, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Здравствуйте.

Если есть подозрения, нужно изучать вклад. Герман Мейстер (talk) 09:20, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Это вопрос к локальному сообществу. Я его членом в русском Викисловаре не являюсь, а как стюарду здесь на этом этапе нечего делать, сообщество само должно решать кто у них будет администраттром или бюрократом. Стюарды вступают в игру только если администраторы начинают войну администраторов или ещё что-то неприятное что изнутри не решается. --Base (talk) 09:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Не могли бы изучить этот вопрос? Со стороны коллег-администраторов должной реакции нет. Обращал внимание DonRumata — молчание. Вопрос не получается решить на локальном уровне. Герман Мейстер (talk) 11:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

:: Может быть я ошибаюсь и вообще пишу ни то, что нужно, но DonRumata ведёт себя в Русском Викисловаре почти, как император и если станет ещё стюардом, то с большой вероятностью присвоит себе всевозможные флаги и будет давить влиянием на других участников. Ещё раз скажу я ни хочу обидеть участников.--Блинов Рюрик Петрович (talk contributions) 17:08, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

global lock request

My apologies for writing here. Allow me to explain the situation: I have been trying to submit global lock request for my account on the according page, but it seems I have no permissions to do that.

In attempt to submit request on Special:MyLanguage/Steward_requests/Global I had been blocked by abuse filter, so trying to write there is pointless.

Next, it seems messages sent through Special:EmailUser are ignored because of preferences for "brand-new accounts" (zero edits), so the road is closed here, too.

Since EmailUser does not work for me here, I were supposed to mail you directly, but I totally forgot that yandex banned protonmail from receiving mail, so it bounced my mail back to me.

It seems the sole option to contact you is to write here, unfortunately.

The account is not used (no contributions and no desire to return) and e-mail is unlinked. It is redundant of me to say that it can be compromised in the future to cause cross-wiki harm.

I do not object to be checked by CUs.

And again, I bring my apologies for writing here. I have no idea what to do after stepping on these broken rakes for the whole day. --Renamed user 13B2F31A93 (talk) 14:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I apologize for writing here, but there is no other way, please take a step on the issue.

Dear Stewards Base and Alaa Please comment on this injustice - I ask for a reasonable approach to my personal application, I do not have another profile, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global/2021-w43#Global_lock_for_Elshadiman_sock(s) but they wrote that I was using other profiles Please contact (Check user) and make sure that I have 1 profile and do not need another one. I want to continue my edits because wikipedia has become my way of life and I ask you to remove the block of my profile. The IP address is 85.132.29.163, the block ID is 11796216. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Elshad_Iman_(Elşad_İman)/Archive_1#October_2014 Perhaps they considered the issue that happened in 2019. In 2019, I wrote to the admins that - Please to stop my User:Elshadiman profile and activate User:Elshad Iman (Elşad İman) profile, because I do my editing with User:Elshad Iman (Elşad İman) in my Azerbaijani and Russian profiles and I do not need an alternative user profile.

SecurePoll для рувики

Привет. И ты посмотри на User_talk:JSutherland_(WMF)#Ruwiki_users_needs_to_test_secret_ballot_through_SecurePoll, знаешь ли, как нам помочь? MBH (talk) 13:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

MBH, привет, ну вопрос и правда к Джо, но если ты хочешь для начала просто поиграться с SecurePoll чтобы посмотреть что оно умеет (там много опций настройки выборов, но я не уверен подойдёт ли какая-то из них под ТЗ рувики), то советую установить себе его на локальном инстансе Медиавики, я год назад без проблем себе устанавливал. --Base (talk) 13:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

У меня нет локального инстанса мв и я не планирую его ставить. У меня даже линукса нет, линукс-то я поставить могу, но вот установка мв - у меня сложилось впечатление, что это что-то непростое. К тому же мне нужно, чтобы много людей проголосовало в тестовом голосовании, чтобы посмотреть не выдачу результатов - не на моём же локальном инстансе они голосовать будут. MBH (talk) 14:25, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

MBH, я как-то последние годы больше пользуюсь Убунтой поэтому на Винде давно МВ не ставил, но думаю вариант поставить через XAMPP всё ещё работает. На Убунте я пользуюсь mw:MediaWiki-Docker, довольно удобно. Вообще, в теории, докер ведь и из-под Винды должен работать. Ну а в плане многих людей, можешь ведь локально учёток 5-10 завести. Потратишь конечно на это где-то час, но терпимо. --Base (talk) 14:36, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Source language

Hello Base. I have a translation set up issue. I wanted to set up translation for https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiChallenge_Ecoles_d'Afrique, but my source language is French, not English. I have looked in depth, but have not found how to set up French as the source language. How does that work ? Anthere (talk) 16:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Anthere, you have to change the content language to French. If you open page information there would be a link to do that. And from then on you just tag page for translation and Translate would figure out that translation has to be from French. --Base (talk) 19:47, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

The problem is that I do not see where to find that « Information Page ». The way I did it is that I had the content in French at WikiChallenge Ecoles d'Afrique. I added the language tags, and then I added all the translate elements. At no point I could see a place where I could state that the content was actually in French. When I clicked on the generation of all translation tags, it just did it, but did not ask me in which language it was. So automatically, the system assumed that it is in English.

So I suppose what you are saying is that I should pretend to translate the source content in French (which would be simply copy pasting Source in French, to French subpage). And then translating the source itself from French to English ? This is kinda weird, but I do not see how else to do it. Anthere (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:26, 10 November 2021 (UTC).

But bottom line... this system means that only English can be the source. Which somewhat sucks... Anthere (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:29, 10 November 2021 (UTC).

😅. Anthere, I actually also sent you a video in Telegram yesterday, but I did not realise you are not online, sorry, I should have just been clearer here. Pqge information is in the sidebar. I could give the direct link but I want people to be able to find the pages on their own (you and whomever would be reading this else). What should be done now is the page has to be removed from translation, the content language of the source changed, and then translation has to be enabled again. --Base (talk) 09:10, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

I did not see it yesterday ! Now, I GET IT. Thanks. Learned something today... I am good. Anthere (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:59, 10 November 2021 (UTC).

Я заметил Вы создали данного бота и написали в русском викисловаре, что он может всё. Если это так можете сделать так, чтобы он добавлял разделение на слоги и морфемный разбор в залитые ботами, деепричастия.--Блинов Рюрик Петрович (talk contributions) 09:00, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Технически может, но я боюсь что нужно ТЗ с алгоритмом как это самое разбитие делать. На слоги я в принципе могу попробовать догадаться как разбирать, но с морфемным разбором не уверен что сам справлюсь. Но вообще я не совсем уверен есть ли это смысл на Викисловаре делать. Там вот уже добавляют возможность подтягивать информацию с лексем на Викиданных через модули — имхо, нужно работать над лексемами и их интеграцией, а не над викитекстом напрямую. --Base (talk) 09:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

О кросс-вики вандале

Вітаю, Base! С момента открытия RfC о глобальном бане 1Goldberg2 прошло уже чуть более двух недель (15 дней). Можете ли вы подсказать, в какие сроки будет подведён итог? Сейчас уже очевиден консенсус за глобальный бан и отключение (65 vs 20). – Mrakia 22:45, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

• Я очень надеюсь, что решения о глобальном бане принимаются здесь на основе аргументов, а не количества голосов. Большинство голосовавших за бан не знакомы с большим положительным вкладом участника в ру-вики (он кстати продолжает писать статьи и сегодня несмотря на отчетливые попытки изгнать его из проекта). У меня вопрос, а существует ли в механизме глобального бана аналог частичного блока в конкретном разделе? Тогда можно было бы наложить на него бан везде кроме ру-вики где его полезный вклад на много порядков превышает его нарушения правил. С уважением, Sir Shurf (talk) 08:14, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

  Привіт, Mrakia, Sir Shurf. Не могу ответить конкретно, как и любой итог он будет подведён тогда, когда его кто-то подведёт. Могу сказать что лично у меня сейчас нету времени подвести итог. Насчёт других вопросов: запрос на комментарий это обсуждение, а не голосование; частичный глобальный бан не предусмотрен правилами. Я знаю и аргументы чем это хорошо, и чем это плохо, но положительный вклад не даёт индульгенции в случае серьёзных нарушений. --Base (talk) 10:26, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

  Понятно. Спасибо за ответ, Base! – Mrakia 01:31, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

• @Sir Shurf: Среди участников, поддержавших блокировку — Ameisenige из комиссии омбудсменов и стюард/ЧЮ Vituzzu. Там множество опытных участников, которые, думаю, умеют пользоваться инструментами статистики.
  В WP:MENTOR сказано, что наставники не должны быть адвокатами (в рувики тоже хорошо бы написать подобное эссе). Собственно, я вообще не знала этого участника и не интересовалась им, вплоть до момента, как он меня пинганул с одного из своих сокпаппетов (Хомяк1520) с личными нападками и языком ненависти к ЛГБТКИ . За то время ничего не изменилось. Потом я посмотрела его вклад на разных проектах Викимедиа и обнаружила вот это всё безобразие. Собственно, нарушения норм поведения этим участником (неоднократный харассмент по признаку пола и гендера) могли бы служить даже поводом для бана через Юридический департамент WMF (User:WMFOffice). У A.Vajrapani вот тоже был довольно качественный вклад по тибетской тематике, да ещё и админ. флаг. – Mrakia 01:31, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
  • @Mrakia:, Я могу понять Ваше стремление к Safe Space в проекте где каждый выступает добровольцем, мы все к этому стремимся. Но стремление к этому не должно происходить за счёт основной цели проекта - создания энциклопедии, а должно происходить параллельно ей. В практическом приложении это означает, что нам необходимо беречь редакторов, даже если они иногда допускают нарушения норм проекта. У нас достаточно инструментов для ограничения вредной деятельности таких участников. Эти инструменты совершенствуются и становятся всё точнее. Поэтому мне так неуютно с этой заявкой на глобальный бан. Если следовать этим путём, очень много полезных, но неоднозначных участников могут оказаться вне проекта. Конкретно Голдберг не представляет для проекта угрозы. В тех разделах где он навандалил он обессрочен, а в ру-вики он под жёстким контролем и постоянной частичной блокировкой на все проблемные пространства. Когда он что-то нарушает он получает блоки, а в основном он исключительно полезен в области птиц и орнитологов. Sir Shurf (talk) 18:11, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Breton translations

Hello,

I am not sure yet how translations work here. I translated the sound logo banners, apparently they should be proofread but I doubt anyone will do it. What should I do ? Huñvreüs (talk) 11:18, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Huñvreüs, thank you. Well, in the perfect world there indeed should be at least two translators involved, one to translate and another to proofread. Realistically, though it is quite rare that people proofread, so when it comes to me I approve everything that looks to be in the correct language and isn't an obvious vandalism :) I have now published Breton translation for these two, but ping SPatton (WMF), Pcoombe (WMF), SCervantes (WMF), DerHexer, as people involved with the banner, there are more translations to publish, I would only have an opportunity to look through them later into European afternoon/evening, so you might do that faster.

Breton translations

Hello,

I translated the WikiFocus Africa messages, can you please publish them ? They are here and there. Also, please tell me if there is a better place for this kind of requests. Huñvreüs (talk) 12:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, @Huñvreüs, thank you, done. Well, the general place would be either RFH or the respective banner request page, CentralNotice/Request/AKI Environment Africa Day in this case. I don't mind people poking me too, but just keep in mind that I might not always be available to act timely. --Base (talk) 13:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Запит на повернення прав створювати статей

Доброго дня, звертаюсь до вас, як до Стюарда, з проханням посприяти у вирішені такої проблеми.

Десь пів-року тому на мій аккаунт наклали обмеження за небажання виправляти створеного мною перекладу. Зараз я виправив ту статтю - Дискографія Within Temptation і хотів би, що б моєму акауту повернули можливість створювати нові сторінки, але адмінстрація ігнорує запити на повернення прав. Мені порадили звернутися до стюардів для вирішення таких проблем. Чи можете ви допомогти ? Чи зняти обмеження з аккаунту, чи якось вплинути, щоб адміністрація почала активніше вирішувати запити. Зараз в цьому розділі запитів до адміністрації української Вікі, доволі багато невирішених звернень. Дякую. BlackStar1991 (talk) BlackStar1991 (talk) 20:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

@BlackStar1991, привіт, як стюард я вам нічим не можу допомогти, це не питання якими займаються стюарди, це виключно локальне питання в межах україномовної Вікіпедії. Не бачу де вам хто пропонував звернутися до стюардів. Як адміністратор україномовної ж Вікіпедії я б хотів би бачити свідчення, що ви виправили всі свої проблемні статті, а не лише одну з них. Вас ігнорують, бо ви подаєте запити на зняття обмежень не виправляючи при цьому те, через що на вас обмеження накладено. Разом з тим на сторінці запитів до адміністраторів справді є певний беклог. --Base (talk) 21:03, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

До яких саме статей притензії? Де побачити за, що саме було запроваджене обмеження ? BlackStar1991 (talk) 05:43, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you!

Sorry for the delayed thank you about granting us admin rights on smnwiki! It got archived before I noticed it at least. I appreciate you considering giving us permanent admin rights and it is good to know that it could be possible once these expire. - Yupik (talk) 18:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Banner translation in Tetun

This is not necessary. The version now is also not Tetun I suspect, and the translation for the first line is now still in French, and therefore I have turned of this language target for this banner yesterday. I am actually watching the translations for this banner to see if turning of the targeting at least prevents users for landing on this buggy translation. (Also: please don't delete this translations because of visibility in the phabricator ticket ;-). Ciell (talk) 10:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Denied request on SRP

Hello Base, per my request on the SRP page, I have one more question. I have not started a discussion on a single of the mentioned projects so far (I'm not very active in most of them though), which I am obviously considering, moreover after your advice. What would your, or possibly other stewards', point of view be in the case that the discussion was started, but not a single other user would simply join it (which I consider quite possible on some of the projects, mainly the Slovak ones that haven't had a single user contributing for years)? --V0lkanic (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, V0lkanic. The short answer is it is fine if no one joins the discussion. The long answer follows.

While the general framework of how stewards operate is well defined, and in some cases, such as when it comes to the private infromation, it is very strict, there is each individual's steward's discretion involved, so other stewards would have a similar but possibly a slightly different thinking. In other words I can only say for myself with certanity, other stewards are likely to also think along the same lines, but there is an off chance someone might see the situation differently.

When it comes to how I see it, let's look at this situation from the other side, let's say you want to elect a new bureaucrat. In the past, bureacrat flag was given to the local communities with no questions asked. But nowadays, for over a decade now, we want to make sure that the community is ready to have a bureaucrat. What we use as the criteria for that is written down on the MVR page. MVR is not a strict policy, and most people wouldn't care if you have 14 votes instead of 15 if it is clear that there is indeed a big enough community and all the votes are valid, but the point is that there is this threshold to elect a bureaucrat. It obviously would not be met on the Slovak projects at the moment. On the other hand, when it comes to the local permissions votes in general, say for a temporary adminship, it is enough that no one opposes even if no one supports you. If there is no community but you are willing to work on the project it does not have to be that you need another person there just to vote for you to enable you do delete spam. On a side note, that makes it extremely ridiculous when people engage in canvassing to get some votes in such situations, as it is making it worse, not better (like it is pretty clear that the bjnwiki request currently on SRP most likely involves canvassing, and so did the gorwikt ones, most likely people were invited to vote in some off-wiki chat).

So with that in mind, the bureaucrat rights rights requiring to meet a certain threshold and the fact that in wikis with no community we do not expect for any community to magically appear for the vote, in fact we'd rather it does not happen like that, I am saying that go ahead with the votes for demotion, and it is okay if there would be no one. There are only two caveats, if someone does show up and votes against your proposal, and that is a valid community member or even if they are not but their point would be very strong, then there is of course a chance that the vote would fail. But that is the point of having a vote. Another is that I haven't checked if Slovak wikis have any procedures in place. If theoretically there are some, some might be ignored (e.g. if there is indeed a local requirement for a certain number of votes which is just imposible to reach now), but most you should follow (e.g. if the vote has to be a certain number of days long or has to be announced on certain pages.

I am sorry for the longer text, hopefully this helps you, if no feel free to reach with further questions. --Base (talk) 13:45, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your response. This is exactly the information I needed which simply cannot be found on the help pages (obviously). I'll certainly consider calling for the demotion vote on some of the projects. V0lkanic (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Just a note

I'm not really aware of the struggle behind one of the GS elections, but I was wondering why you removed a vote while writing that you wouldn't. This is just for the record, as the consensus seems pretty clear. Ciao, M/ (talk) 20:42, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Never mind. Now I've seen the global lock. Since I wasn't seeing the strikeout of the local block, I didn't notice the global one. Thank you and sorry for bothering. --M/ (talk) 20:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

@M7, yeah, I was referring to Jphwra's vote, despite him being canvassed by an LTA I cannot really remove his vote, he is a valid user. Whilst LTA's vote of course has no place there. --20:59, 18 July 2023 (UTC) Base (talk) 20:59, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Requests for comment/Bureaucrat abuse of vote in Belarusian Classical Wikipedia

Hello, dear Base! How are you? I would like to draw your attention to the request for comment that I made in July, 2023. As the situation has deteriorated since then towards the open vote fraud by the bureaucrat, a timely consensus on the part of stewards has become even more essential for the implemention of rules in Belarusian Classical Wikipedia. Best wishes,--W (talk) 10:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

If what you are telling is true, I have no idea who you are, you can try reaching out to Trust and Safety team via cawikimedia.org, and perhaps they can help you with regaining access to your main account (I am assuming you do not have an email associated with it that you can use to reset your password). --Base (talk) 06:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
