User: CnocBride ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
This is something I have always requested for. I remember making Phabricator requests specifically for the purpose of trying to get this feature implemented, but they were closed due to being not feasible at the time. However! The time has come now that being able to edit the interwiki for non-system administrators is actually a thing. I would love to help Miraheze wherever I can. With my function as an extension processor diminished, I would like a new task to complete in my free time. I believe I am a well trusted and well liked member of the Miraheze community, I always help whenever and wherever I can. I am also a CVT member, a wiki creator, I also work on helping wikis get their extensions enabled and so much more!

Eligibility

 * Have at least 1000 total global edits on Miraheze (on more than one wiki) (Note: These edits may not consist of directly copy/pasting content from other wikis, they must be edits done by the user) ✅ 2712 global edits

開拓者's Request for interwiki admin

User: 開拓者 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
I know we need more interwiki admins. The interwiki links of Uncyclopedias on Miraheze, for example, should be fixed asap, but they're not done so far (as an assigned admin/BC of the forked Japanese Uncyclopedia, I know there are tons of those links in different languages). I can monitor requests made by Japanese wikis as a Japanese native, and check whether I can add the requested links (Please note that there are some Japanese LTAs already creating several wikis; now they might want to request for a spam interwiki link). I'm also a CVT, a wiki creator, and a translation admin, which would be enough to show that I'm trusted on Miraheze.-- 16:15, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Eligibility

 * Have at least 1000 total global edits on Miraheze (on more than one wiki) (Note: These edits may not consist of directly copy/pasting content from other wikis, they must be edits done by the user) ✅ 10108 global edits

Pkbwcgs's Request for CVT
User: Pkbwcgs ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

Reasoning for request
For those who don't know me, I am Pkbwcgs on publictestwiki and on Wikipedia (confirmation diff here). I have been fighting spambots on publictestwiki for a while and I am an experienced vandal fighter on Wikipedia. I am also a rollbacker on two other wikis (see here). I have been a rollbacker for five and a half months on the English Wikipedia. My experience on fighting vandalism on Wikipedia and blocking spambots on publictestwiki would be vital and useful to join the Counter Vandalism Team. Therefore, I would like to have the global CVT right on my account.

Additional comments given by user (if any)
I am not too active on meta but I am quite active on publictestwiki. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:03, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, I am quite active in reverting vandalism on English Wikipedia and looking into the abuse log there and reverting. So, despite not being active in reverting vandalism here, I already have enough knowledge in reverting vandalism and I don't what an abuse log is and how to handle vandalism. Therefore, CVT will be useful for me and I will become more active globally and the process to handle vandalism will be faster with both the rollback and block buttons included in the CVT package. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:12, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, please feel free to ask any questions if you have any below. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:14, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of vandalism and spam which I can handle in Special:AbuseLog. However, unfortunately I don't have the delete or block buttons so I am unable to despite being capable of handling it with only a delete and a block button globally. Pkbwcgs (talk) 08:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I also disagree with the fact that there are enough members in the CVT. There are six members in the CVT and four stewards. That is not enough. I will be active on the CVT and there are more than 3,050 wikis and only ten users for CVT (including stewards). Pkbwcgs (talk) 09:28, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, if the issue is about global contributions. I do agree that I don't have many (under 200) but my knowledge of reverting and handling vandalism on English Wikipedia should be enough to be able to do things correctly with the CVT tools. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, the way it is looking, I will probably have to withdraw this because I don't think I will receive any supports despite being extremely active in reverting vandalism on English Wikipedia and having good knowledge of handling vandalism. However, I won't give up yet and I won't withdraw just yet. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:06, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Abstain

 * Not much interaction with this user. If other members of the community can vouch for them, I may reconsider. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  18:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wiki1776 (talk) 22:10, 28 August 2018 (UTC) I would like to see more activity before I vote in favour.

Oppose

 * 1)  Being active on publictestwiki is not adequate by my standards, since vandalism on publictestwiki tends to be less than on other wikis, and the threshold for being granted admin/bureaucrat there is extremely low. Additionally, the user only has just under 200 edits globally across Miraheze, including the majority of those being to publictestwiki. Finally, the user does not hold any sysop-like permissions (doesn’t really hold any permissions at all for that matter) on any wikis other than publictestwiki and their own wiki. Amanda Catherine (talk) 20:33, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have both the rollback and block buttons on publictestwiki so I am able to respond to and combat vandalism. Perhaps, if I had those buttons globally then I can combat vandalism globally. Secondly, is exactly 25,861 edits on English Wikipedia and 224 reports to their vandalism reporting page not "adequate"? The problem with the users who are opposing is that they haven't checked my contributions on Wikipedia and the amount of vandalism I have reverted over there. The threshold of being granted rollback on Wikipedia is a lot. Yes, I agree that I don't have enough global contributions on Miraheze but I have plenty of experience in reverting vandalism on Wikipedia. That is sufficient. Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 1)  not enough interaction in the global aspect of the community as far as I know, we also have enough CVT members at this time (in my opinion). I suggest reapplying when you've done more interactions on Meta itself or in some way that will be for a lack of a better word, impactful, on the global miraheze community. Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 21:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * 2)  I do think there should be more CVT members (mainly because not all of them are always active). However, I don't think the user has enough global contributions, and thus cannot support him/her.-- 10:58, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Is lots of global contributions really required when I have almost 26,000 edits on English Wikipedia and heaps of experience reverting and handling vandalism over there? Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is a completely different wiki. I may consider your contributions there, but only if you have enough contributions on Miraheze. Additionally, I'm rather reluctant to consider contributions on any Wikimedia projects, because I don't even have an account there.-- 13:08, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is a very big Wiki. If I am handling a lot of vandalism there, then there should be not concern here. Wikipedia see loads of vandalism daily. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:16, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but I also know a Steward on Wikimedia has an account here, and even if you were him/her, I would cast the same vote. Contributions on Wikipedia can have different meanings; it could mean you're in fact capable, but it could also mean you're too busy working on Wikipedia to work on Miraheze.-- 13:35, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I can handle vandalism globally on Miraheze if I have at the block, rollback and delete buttons but I don't have the block and delete buttons and I don't even have rollback globally. This is why I am requesting to join the CVT. I can help out and I am willing to help out and I have the knowledge to handle vandalism. By saying that I don't have enough global contributions on Miraheze, it is letting me down. I have the rollback buttons on Wikipedia which is why I am able to help out in handling vandalism over there. What is the problem if I want to help out handle vandalism here? Yes, I am most of the time busy at Wikipedia reverting vandalism. However, if I have these button globally on Miraheze, I can spread out my time evenly and help out on both Miraheze and Wikipedia. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:53, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Then you should show that on Miraheze. Maybe it's a good idea to start from working as a wiki creator to show what you can do here (not on Wikipedia).-- 14:05, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
