Translate the content that is inside a table
Hi guys, i just finished translating Dormancy Policy to spanish, as you will see it appears that it has been translated 100% but the contents of the table i could not translate it with the form. I have tried to edit it without the form and i can not either, so i came to ask for help, to see if you can tell me what to do in this case. Greetings. -- Dark Dragoon  (talk)  20:03, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, i just realized that the text of the table don't have the  tag in the original version. Sorry if i did not realize it before, because not long ago i use the Translate extension 😅. -- Dark Dragoon   (talk)  13:01, 25 June 2019 (UTC)fixed due to a technical reason.-- 03:22, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Tables are often excluded from translations because usually they are simple lists that anyone can understand regardless of their English skills. However, this might be reconsidered if the community thinks that they should be marked for translation as well.-- 11:13, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Application of the new administrator and bureaucrat policies
After the voting of the new Request for Comment on the new administrator and bureaucrat policies I would like to request that administrator is removed from the users I will list below because of the inactivity reasons. NDKilla: Only six contributions on Meta in the past six months. And before barely any in 2018. Labster: Very few contributions in general which don't need admin --DeeM28 (talk) 19:44, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * NDKilla is declined as the definition of inactivity is not using administrative privileges at all in 6 months or engaging in the community. They have engaged in the community in at least 4 of those 6 edits.
 * Labster is declined as he edits Finance which is sysop-protected. Therefore every edit is seemed a sysop-action which means the activity criteria is met.
 * Therefore there are no grounds for revocation under inactivity - if you wish to open a request for removal then the appropriate venues of Requests for permissions exists. John (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

It is requested that a change to the Dormancy Policy be made.

Entered bad address for phabricator registration
Hi, I entered a misspelled email address when I was registering for phabricator. It keeps telling me that the email has been sent and won’t let me correct it. The correct address is in my miraheze account settings. Can you reset it? Thanks, Eddie


 * Hi, i've deleted the account so you can recreate it with the correct email. Paladox (talk) 20:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

How can I get translator permissions?
I've tried to translate main page to Polish but extension says I don't have required permissions. "Get permission" link redirects me to deleted page (Translator). What should I do then?

Hello,

I've opened this thread to discuss the actions of.

Firstly, this user has started a number of RfCs recently that they know are likely to fail and have been previously discussed varying from changes to the internal structure of Mirhaeze to CVT. Their latest RfC is a very long page with a number of proposals that even they themselves know are unlikely to pass and oppose.

I have also noticed that this user makes misleading comments as evidenced at their talk page where they claim to have not requested any wikis despite having done so and this discussion where they claim to have nominated me for sysop hypothetically and then deny this part way through which they refused to remove when I blanked it as I decided I did not want to be involved in this and are taking the mick about unaware WMF wiki users.


 * User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 15:58, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposal (A)
is topic-banned from creating RfCs or proposing new options in RfCs.

Discussion

 * I have no way to know user's intention in opening RfCs, such as that he knew they would be unsuccessful. His initiatives are too bureaucracy-heavy and formal for my tastes, but I would not bar him from taking initiatives because of this difference in style.  I would not ask Miraheze users to conduct an open vote to disapprove of one of us.   16:54 12-Jul-2019

Spike did a very good job explaining why an external user should not have decisions on an non meta wiki. Znotch190711 (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 17:15, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposal (B)
is required to remove any mention of users in hypothetical content on https://hypotheticalmeta.miraheze.org if the user requests it.

Discussion

 * This request would be out of the scope of AN since it does not concern Meta. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:11, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I put it all part of the same discussion but feel free to move to CN or something more appropriate. User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 16:16, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * While this may seem like bureaucray, if I as a Meta admin were to close this request I would not be able to due to the fact that I don't have authority to make a decision for another wiki. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:38, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Can you suggest an alternative venue to discuss this? User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 17:00, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
