Requests for permissions

 * Archives: Autochecked user &bull; Editor &bull; Administrator &bull; Bureaucrat &bull; Other user rights


 * Please create a subpage under Project:Requests/User rights/ with your user name as the page title and then transclude it to the bottom of this section.

Requests for renames

 * Information on how renames work is available on Wikipedia. Archives: 2014 (Previous years).

Example request:

Oldname → Newname
I'd like to change my username to "Newname" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - ~

__NOINDEX__

Vitalik7 → Vitalik
I'd like to change my username to "Vitalik" because that's the username I use on other projects. Thanks! - Vitalik7 (talk) 16:14, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Since User:Vitalik is not attached to your SUL account, could you please verify ownership of it? Also I don't think this is really necessary if you can use that account instead since this is your only edit here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

TheMightyHercules → CmdrDan
I want to change from TheMightyHercules to CmdrDan as it's easier to type and I think it's a better name. - TheMightyHercules (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:00, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

User:Macuser2 → User:Macuser
Getting my SUL sorted out across all projects. sv:User:Macuser, en:User:Macuser is my name in almost all projects. It seems Macuser in mediawiki had no editions or activity. Many thanks. Macuser2 (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Please verify that you are indeed the owner of the Macuser SUL account. You can do this by e.g. making an edit on the English Wikipedia stating "I am mw:User:Macuser2 and wish to use my SUL account here."--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:02, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. Macuser2 (talk) 20:40, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

ציפור → Iloj
I'd like to change my username to "Iloj" because I want a latin-script username. Thanks! - ציפור (talk) 14:42, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you sure about this? You seem to have cancelled your request on the English Wikipedia, depending on whether [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AChanging_username%2FSimple&diff=607782090&oldid=607782049 this] is you or not.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:58, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was just going to do that here, but thanks anyway.

Inquisitor Ehrenstein → Lieutenant S. Reznov
We've dropped 40k web projects in replacement for educational goals and I'm pretty much indefinitely out of the hobby along with DondreKhan, so the inquisitor title is meaningless. For anyone who understands the game, it's mainly because of prices and GW releasing plastic stormtroopers and dropping the number per box by half. I need money for going to parties. ಠ_ಠ Inquisitor Sasha des Ordo Scharzenkommando (Talk) (Contr) 18:18, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ but please note that you shouldn't count on being able to change your username that often. You should commit to a particular username for an extended period of time.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Mark Extension:Education Program page for translation
I would like to begin translating Extension:Education Program to Spanish language, but I need a Translation Admin or someone with permission to mark it for translation. Thanks. --Zerabat (talk) 17:56, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ Petrb (talk) 08:52, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, man, that was not the very best of you. This page is rather useful for translation admins. -- Ата   (talk)  23:02, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Please block users for identity theft (falsely impersonating others) and repeated vandalism
Hello - Can you please block the following users for repeated vandalism: Wiki Dick heads, Don't work for Skilled!, Abused by SKILLED. Please also block the following users: Pborobokas, A Pizzoni , Richard(E) Glover , Peter Eaves. These are false impersonations of staff members at SKILLED Group and the user is posting dafamatory comments. We know who is doing this and are following this up in Australia.- ltobrien
 * Hello. This does not appear to be happening on this wiki. Did you mean to post this on some other wiki? (in that case, we have no responsibility for it).--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:30, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Deletion request
Hello, I don't know whether it is the good place to ask, but could you delete this page ? Is is a (blanked) copy of this message. I did a mistake when saving it twice. Thanks in advance, NemesisIII (talk) 19:36, 4 March 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 20:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Deletion request #2 - this time its serious....
Hello, I also don't know whether this is the best place to ask, but please would you delete this page? It is deprecated and it's information duplicated and expanded upon here. Thanks in advance.

Might I also be made an administrator, or at least someone with permission to delete pages I have created to avoid needing to bother you guys in future? I would understand if you decline this second element of my request. :)

Requester
 * The best place to ask is on that particular wiki. This wiki is for the documentation of the MediaWiki software, and any requests here can and will only affect pages on the mediawiki.org domain. If you have a problem with another wiki, you need to ask there. Since I see the domain for that wiki ends in ".local" either it is a company/intranet wiki or a wiki you installed locally for testing. Either way, see Help:Deleting a page for more information on how to delete pages. -- Skiz zerz  14:32, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * ❌ - As said above, this wiki is for documentation of the MediaWiki software. We cannot delete pages on that wiki since we are not local administrators there. As it is on a .local domain name, we cannot access that wiki. You should navigate to Special:ListAdmins on that wiki and request one of them to delete it. --GeorgeBarnick (talk) 19:10, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
