Project:Requests

Use this page for requests for:


 * Renaming
 * Promotion (to sysop, bot, bureaucrat, transwiki, etc.)
 * Anything else bureaucrats are needed for (is there anything?)

There aren't really any formal policies on what's required. Use common sense. People with commit access probably get at least sysop automatically. Long-time developers and so on get bureaucrat. Otherwise, don't ask for something that you can't demonstrate a use for, and don't expect to be particularly trusted if you aren't known within the MediaWiki community, or at least trusted on some major Wikimedia wiki. Transwiki may be given out freely and removed freely, sysop and bureaucrat not so much.

Requests for permissions

 * Bureaucrat: In light of the creation of this page, and the relative lack of active bureaucrats, I would like to now place a request to fill the shoes. I know my way around the interface form experience on WS, and I haven't yet made any stuff ups there, so I think I'd be suitable. Cheers, -- Anon  Diss  08:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There's not much in the way of rename requests quite yet, we should really encourage non-admins to use this time to get renames straightened out before they all start having this problem. I don't have any issue with this, but if you could snag an opinion from another bureaucrat or developer first, I'd appreciate it? :) Kylu 16:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well if you'd like an endorsement from someone who isn't a bcrat or developer then you have mine. I don't think another bcrat is a bad idea, and AD will do a good job (probably ^_^) (but seriously AD, don't get overwhelmed with all your new buttons you've been getting lately...)

 * On hold Please, if you're interested, leave this request here. Turns out there are some "hiccups" with account merging and we're waiting to see what the results of the patch are. I'm told by one of the shell users that we don't need any more bureaucrats here until the workload increases. Just imagine what it'll be like when general public accounts have to start getting merged! Kylu 02:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Need bureaucrats? Voice of All is pretty much the only active bureaucrat who has made more than 50 edits this year. I don't see how more aren't needed.... but I'm willing to wait. I'm not sure I understand why I am being put into limbo land though, while this patch issue goes over... how does this affect my request? Also, not to seem over-eager, but how long a wait are we talking? Weeks? Months? -- Anon  Diss  05:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Also know I have requested an opinion from bcrat and developer VOA. Anon  Diss  05:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Requests for renames
Could you please change my user name to Erwin. This user already exists but has no edits. Erwin is my user name on meta and my home wiki, nlwiki. I've put up a matrix on m:User:Erwin/Matrix. Thanks. --Erwin85 22:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Kylu 01:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
