Wanting to stop deletion
Hi Folks, I have asked on IRC and following up here, I would like to turn the deletion mode off on this page: https://131parkhurst.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki  but the page is borked. Help! :-) Best,  MarkDilley
 * So, I edited it and then was able to get to the page, but didn't know how to move forward, the closed box was not checked, so I checked the private wiki box and put in my reason, when submitting, got a borked page again. Have screenshot of pre & post if needed. Best,  MarkDilley
 * And now it worked. Please let me know if have to do anything to save my wiki. Thanks,  MarkDilley
 * Hello, indeed the Special:ManageWiki page is still not fixed, but after you left IRC the other day I manually opened your wiki, per your request, so you are fine and do not need to do anything else. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 06:06, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Private maken?
Beste,

van mij mag iedereen mijn wiki lezen, enkel schrijven zou ik enkel door mezelf willen laten doen. Ik denk dat ik daarvoor een verkeerde keuze heb gemaakt bij het aanvragen van mijn wiki. Hoe krijg ik het voor elkaar dat enkel ikzelf kan schrijven?

Alvast bedankt! Mvg, Gin.

開拓者 (translation administrator, moved to this page from Requests for permissions)
User: 開拓者 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: translation administrator Reason: I found out that I can't add translation in some pages and/or sections (such as Phabricator/ja, which is not 100% translated but says so), while I was working to translate some pages into Japanese. It seems that I need this permission to modify sections of translation to an appropriate manner (not just editing the tags).

Additional comments: If I'm granted, I'd like to complete the translation works into Japanese. I might also work on other languages, if possible.--開拓者 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.(copied and moved from Requests for permissions)--開拓者 (talk) 09:42, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comments/Questions
 * I've fixed that page for you. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 12:12, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But still I'd like to ask for permission, because I find some pages are not listed (such as System administrators, Contributing, and Dormancy Policy) in Special:LanguageStats/ja (which are part of the policies and should be listed for translation), and others are structurally difficult to translate because the sections are divided within one sentence (in fact, grammatical structures in Japanese are quite different from that of English and other Indo-European languages, making it difficult to translate when divided into too many sections), and I'd like to edit those pages (and others alike, as soon as I find them) to make it easier to translate.--開拓者 (talk) 12:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Make several mediawiki pages
I'd like sysops to create a mediawiki page. MediaWiki:Grouppage-abuse should read Meta:Abuse Team and Abuse should be moved to Meta:Abuse Team. The reasoning for this request is that Meta:Abuse sounds like a page where you can report abuse instead of a definition group of a team that deals with abuse --Sau226 (talk) 10:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd like comments from other sysops please, before I do this. :) MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 12:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * +1 for minor change that indicates it's a role not a place to report. (Meta:Abuse should probably not exist, and Abuse (mainspace) should probably contain information on reporting abuse). -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 20:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, MediaWiki Page created, but the page move is on hold as I can’t seem to move it. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 00:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Am not an Admin, but perhaps not "Abuse Team" but "Abuse Patrol" is clearer about what the team does (as in patrol for abuse, not commit it).  03:46 12-Jun-2018
 * Page move is now ✅. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 14:27, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
