Talk:Developers/LQT Archive 1

Only a developer has the rights -- if not the authority -- to:
 * grant sysop rights or developer rights to a user
 * block a user account, i.e., enforce a "ban"*

I think this makes each developer a sort of Gatekeeper -- an awesome and sometimes troubling (troublesome?) office of responsibility. --Uncle Ed 17:34 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)

* No longer true of Semptember 2003. Any sysop may do this.

Magnus gave me developer access to the Wikipedia SourceForge servers two years ago when I asked to become a developer. However I've never had access to the Wikipedia servers that I'm aware of. What's my status ? Am I a developer or not ? -- Derek Ross 06:17, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It would be useful if the level of access people have was added to this page. Shouldn't Jeronim, Shaihulud and Maveric149 be listed? Angela. 02:07, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)


 * What about Ed, who, granted, was doing mostly (only?) bureaucratic functions? Pakaran 15:41, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * I seemed to have been eased into retirement. They gave me a nice pension which affords me a comfortable living; also, a gold watch which I take out and look at from time to time. ;-) Thank you, one and all, for having given me the opportunity to serve. --Ed Poor 17:58, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Or, of course, we could use the MediaWiki table syntax! Reformat the below to your heart's content... IMSoP 18:24, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

ASCII art isn't that bad, I'm not about to get into an edit war with Brion over this :) -- Tim Starling 02:21, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Developers on my own MediaWiki
I'm setting up my own wiki using MediaWiki software. Is there any way I can make myself and others developers on our wiki? -- JoeyDay 16:41, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Yes. Give them shell access to your server (only if yu're sure you trust them!) or have them contribute programming to the MediaWiki software. Or whatever else interests you - it's your wiki, your decision to make when it comes to what to call people. Jamesday 04:21, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

FoeNyx
I can't remember now why I made this edit but it was reverted. I probably meant to put the dot in the CVS box, not the Shell one, but now FoeNyx is not listed on the sourceforge page, so maybe he doesn't have that either. Anyway, I'm not sure what he has and he's not currently listed on the page. confused Angela 22:02, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I noticed the entry and asked him why he was there, because I couldn't see his name on the SF list or in zwinger's home directory. He said he didn't know and removed himself. Someone on #mediawiki (jeronim?) suggested that you might have seen a patch submission to bugzilla. -- Tim Starling 02:41, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Why is Kate no longer a Developer?
Why is User:Kate no longer a Developer? I was very disappointed to see the disappearance of Kate's Tools, a site I visited daily to check my edit counts. David Cannon 11:26, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
