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)

How's this for a compromise (assuming one is needed)?

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)
