Importing pages from Meta
Please mark the local meta pages with  when you import them here, instead of putting redirects.  Cbrown1023  talk  02:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, will do. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 13:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
You have been promoted to a bureaucrat on this wiki. I encourage sysopping users who show a bit of sanity and desire to help out, while maintaining your good supply of Clue. robchurch | talk 13:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Sysop request
(Related to the precedent, message :)

I want to locallise the links that are on the sidebar (since the text is localised) or doing some cleanup (RC patrol, ...) on this wiki, so i don't know if I could be a sysop here (I am already sysop on the french Wikipedia). i Alex  17:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 17:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. i Alex  17:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Rename request
Please change my username from Jclerner to Jlerner, then it'll be consistent with en and meta, thanks! Jclerner 00:54, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 00:58, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Rename request
Hi Simetrical! Could you please rename User:CommonsDelinker to something else and then User:CommonsDelinker2 to User:CommonsDelinker? I am one of the operators of CommonsDelinker. Apparently something went wrong when the account was created and the password is unknown to any of us. Thanks, Bryan Tong Minh 17:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. You may want to set an e-mail address, for the future (unless you forgot that too). —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 18:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks, Bryan Tong Minh 11:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

+sysop request
Could I get +sysop on this wiki? Looking to do some maintenance work around here (deprecating Template:click, etc.). I'm +sysop on en.wiki ( verify ) and I have a pretty good knowledge of MediaWiki. Thanks! --MZMcBride 06:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 17:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! --MZMcBride 19:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

System Operator Request

Temporary Semi-protection
Could you semi-protect Project:Support desk for a couple days? We want to minimize any new entries until we have sorted the old topics into sections and finish remodeling the Support Desk? Oh and by "we" I mean me (since I am acting on Project:Current events), I would just admin-protect it so that we don't have to put users on an honor system not to post, but then no one would be sorting. -PatPeter,  MediaWiki Support Team  00:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Uh, it seems like a bad idea to shut down one of the support channels for a few days? If people ask questions and they aren't answered because people are too busy reshuffling, well, I guess they aren't answered.  Semi-protection is for stopping vandals, not stopping people from asking questions. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 01:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it wouldn't have been the question is not answered because of the reshuffling, it would be more work and another thread to have been sorted. And it wouldn't have stopped people from asking questions, it would delay their questions. If their questions are that important then they would have come back after the Support desk was "reopened".
 * Onto more recent news, I once again ask for semi-protection of this page, not to stop questions this time but rather to keep them coming; if you look at the source code of the page then you will see that questions are no longer made on the actual Support desk, but rather in the subsections. Also if you can, please delete all the redirects in this space, as they are not necessary. -PatPeter, [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  21:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, done (and I added a comment in the page source). It seems like you already got Skizzerz to delete the unneeded redirects. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 00:21, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ja, sorry I didn't notify you sooner about that. The plan is to eventually have it addy-protected, but not until we are sure we have enough categories. -PatPeter, [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  06:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Curses, I thought there would be [edit] sections even though the page was protected, because of the transclusions. I am going to have to find a way to get around this. -PatPeter, [[Image:Tournesol.png|20px]] MediaWiki Support Team  06:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Sysop request
Hello. Could you make me a sysop here? I would like to get a lot of this cleared out. I have rollback rights on the English Wikipedia; sysop, bureaucrat, and povwatch on the Test Wikipedia; and sysop and bureaucrat rights on the cards wiki (different user name there). So I am already familiar with the tools. Thanks for your help. Maximillion Pegasus 03:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added you to the transwiki group, so you can import pages. You didn't state the need for any tools more than that. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 13:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * My bad. Sorry. I would like to add a couple things to the sidebar and do rc patrol to catch any vandals, which I would warn and be able to block if they insist on vandalizing. I could also protect any pages they receive a lot of vandalism. Maximillion Pegasus 15:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
