Hi there. I am Masum Reza. I am an administrator here. Despite that I am still a run of the mill user here. If you need help, feel free to start a thread here. I will try to respond as soon as I can. If you need urgent admin help, I recommend to post at Project:Current issues, since multiple administrators monitor that page you'd likely get help faster.

Hi there,

After renaming my Phab account, My default profile photo did not change from "1" to "I" automatically. Is there a way to change it manually? In fact (talk) 14:39, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Just did it. Thanks again. In fact (talk) 14:47, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

I didn't do anything. You figured it out yourself. :) Ainz Ooal Gown (talk) 15:25, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Removing pages from the wanted pages

Hello, I think we've got too many pages on Special:WantedPages, many of which are associated with variables used in translation units. So, each of these pages would need to have the following content:

<includeonly>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{Translation variable notice}}</noinclude>

However, this will be only for templates. On content pages, it should be:

{{Translation variable notice}}

The template "Translation variable notice" is in my sandbox: User:Keyacom/sandbox/Translation variable notice. Is it good? C.Ezra.M (talk) 16:21, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

@Keyacom: Sounds like a good plan to me. It makes easier to distinguish between really wanted pages amd translation variables. However just a opinion of just one admin might not be enough, as this change could be controversial. And the current list of wanted pages is very big to do this by hand. A bot can easily handle it. But before that, I think we need consensus. Could you start a thread at Project:Current issues since that page is watched by many admins as well as experienced users? This will help us to gain more opinions and thoughts on the matter. Thanks. Ainz Ooal Gown (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

New rights

Hello,

Thanks for my new group right !

Sincerely. AirSThib ^{🌌 Cyclist stars cafeteria 🚴} 13:40, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

No problem. I gave you autopatrol rights because you are a trusted Wikimedian and are helping out here by translating. Your translations do not need to be patrolled by a admin. Thanks for your contributions and have a good day. Ainz Ooal Gown (talk) 13:44, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Preparing pages for translation

Hi. I've seen you've marked Manual:MWDumper for translation. However, I don't think it's ready for that. If you try to translate it, you'll see texts that shouldn't be translated, but are available for translation, including code regions, links, commands, and templates. Those should be wrapped inside variables, or units need to not include them and avoid translators work or mistakes.

Would you mind to review it again? Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:29, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. I made a mistake and marked that page for translation without checking further. I wanted to use Special:TranslateMigration but it was giving an error for some reason. I have unmarked the page and rollbacked my change. I am not very experienced with page migration. Sorry for the trouble I have caused. Ainz Ooal Gown (talk) 22:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

No problem! thanks Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 10:16, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello,

I hope that this message finds you well.

A global policy regarding the removal of advanced permissions (e.g.: administrator, bureaucrat, interface-admin, etc.) from inactive user accounts was adopted by community consensus in 2013. For that policy, inactivity is defined as having zero edits and zero administrative actions in a particular project for the last two years.

I am writing to you today because, to the best of our knowledge, your account has advanced permissions in mediawiki.org and meets the inactivity criteria from the global policy mentioned above.

Please reply at this Village Pump topic if you wish to keep all or some of your advanced permissions. If the community supports your continued access, your permissions will be kept. To the contrary, if you wish to resign all or some of your advanced permissions, you may request a removal of permissions on Meta-Wiki.

Please note that if there is no response from you by 2023-03-26, your advanced permissions on mediawiki.org will be removed by the stewards without further notice. You may regaing them using the usual local process.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or feel free to message us at the stewards' noticeboard.

Yours sincerely, --MA (talk) (via MassMessage) 17:12, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
