Request to fix pages in MediaWiki namespace
Hello. Can an administrator please:
 * 1) replace the content of MediaWiki:Group-central notice manager with Central notice managers because it is supposed to be plural.
 * 2) revert the edits made by here as they have seemingly edited the wrong page and create MediaWiki:Group-central notice manager-member with central notice manager as it's content.
 * 3) create MediaWiki:Grouppage-central notice manager with     :Central notice managers. Thank you! --Magogre (talk)  03:26, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Sorry about that, I was looking at the checkuser group as an example and got confused. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:34, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you . Have you deliberately left MediaWiki:Group-central notice manager-member or there is a reason behind it :) --Magogre (talk) 06:00, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I will do the latter, but am placing this request on hold as we're going to amend the technical group name a bit, mainly to use hyphens rather than spaces, which, admittedly, aren't great in technical terms from an aesthetic point of view, and to use "admin" rather than "manager".

Request for Patroller
Meta has the majority of my edits are on Meta, and on WikiJS, Bongo Cat, and Bukkit my edits combined (on Meta) would be 332 (333 once I make this edit), and although that isn’t a lot, I spend a lot of my time on meta, just looking at other users edits. I believe that this will be beneficial, as this will allow me to mark edits that I have viewed as reviewed. -- Cheers, Bukkit ( Talk • All Contribs ) 22:55, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I think you can probably handle, so this has now been ✅. Please do see the main patrol guidelines. Dmehus (talk) 05:12, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrol TigerBlazer
I believe he understands MH policies, and should be auto patrolled. -- Cheers, Bukkit ( Talk • All Contribs ) 01:06, 30 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Support! Anpang   Talk   Stuff  01:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see a problem with your comment, but remember this is not a vote, it's just a request to admins. That's why I recommend that you comment without YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 02:04, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh Anpang   Talk   Stuff  02:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Among users with a reception wiki background I've interacted with, I consider TigerBlazer to be one of the more solid users. I wouldn't see him as a type that needs worry through patrol markers. --Raidarr (talk) 09:23, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Bukkit Though the user in question is not that active on Meta Wiki and would generally prefer to see some degree of greater activity, it seemed a bit bureaucratic to grant a temporary  right for what would likely end up becoming a fait accompli. Thus, this is ✅. Dmehus (talk) 10:33, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much :) TigerBlazer (talk) 12:11, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. :) Dmehus (talk) 12:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I will say that I would like to contribute to the Meta more often (and now that I have this I just might do that), as I do come here every day to see what is going on, but usually only respond to anything on the noticeboards as I'm not sure what else to do other than that.

Delete abstain
To me, the abstain template is pretty useless. It's the same thing as. Maybe merge the 2 templates together? Or delete the neutral template or delete the abstain template? (And also make the Abstain page a redirect to Neutral of course) Anpang   Talk   Stuff  12:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC)


 * This is reasonable, but should be moved to this noticeboard. I would also add the older template should be kept, whether abstain or neutral. Would you mind moving the entirety of this discussion, linking to the most recent permalink in your edit summaries? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 13:11, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Request for Confirmed Permissions
It looks like my account on Meta is older than 10 days, but has no Autoconfirmed permission, except on fancadewiki:. I want autoconfirmed permissions. TylerMagee (talk) 16:28, 2 December 2021 (UTC)


 * For you to get autoconfirmed, you must also have at least 5 edits on top of being 10 days old. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 16:32, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Per Meta:Autoconfirmed users, it requires 4 days and 10 edits to be 'autoconfirmed' on meta. --Magogre (talk) 16:40, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * We can give you confirmed permissions temporarily, but do you have some specific reason? Also, it's only for this wiki.--MrJaroslavik (talk) 16:14, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, twas not Mag that requested confirmed, twas . Ugochimobi (talk) 16:20, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * TylerMagee, ✅ for one week per your request. Note this will apply to Meta Wiki only. If you require  permissions, please ask locally on a suitable venue or on the user talk page of any Special:ListUsers/sysop. If the wiki has no recently active local administrators, you can request steward assistance in their stead at stewards' noticeboard. Dmehus (talk) 09:00, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Autopatrol Danniel
I don’t see an apparent reason to patrol his edits. Seems to be a trusted Mirahezian with a lot of edits. -- Cheers, Bukkit ( Talk • All Contribs ) 23:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Add this following extension: mw:Extension:SandboxLink. It can be now or right after the update. It adds the sandbox link on top of the user bars, which makes it much easier YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ UnEdits ) (Bring back patrolled)</b></b> 16:17, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Add this code to the bottom of common.js
Can this code be added to the bottom of common.js? It's a html checkbox. $(function {  var myElement = document.getElementById('acceptrequest-check');  myElement.innerHTML = '<input type="checkbox" id="acc" name="acc" value="accept"> Accept Request? '; });  Anpang   Talk   Stuff  07:43, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Your code will probably be accepted yes, if it is useful for Miraheze and cites the reasons for creating it (like adding a template, etc.), but we also avoid a lot of code so as not to 'infest' with useless code YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 12:55, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Why? ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  12:56, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * (Avoid malicious code, which is not usable, etc)., but I think this one will be accepted because it creates a lot of templates YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 12:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Request for (Ugochimobi)
Please add the group to my account, I am good with managing the MediaWiki: namespace, I am an  on Commons and some other wikis too, I also want to fix this twinkle   TW   issue we currently have. I have requested for it before now but it seems it wasn't attended to. Per requirement, I have a strong password, 2FA enabled, and I'm an. Ugochimobi (talk) 17:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Request for Patroller (YellowFrogger)
As I like to look at recent changes, I need to patrol some edits, and my edits won't need to be patrolled anymore. My previous rights were revoked by a Discord server issue (I disrespected the W:Drop_the_stick_and_back_slowly_away_from_the_horse_carcass rule, which caused the heavy atmosphere on the server, where there wasn't much name-calling and fights, just a few connotations, but with that, it was already the problem of my rights being revoked. And this rule is out of Miraheze's Coc, but now I understand it very well) <-- this all has now been resolved, including I regained the trust of the admins after I understood the mistake I made, and I've already regretted it all. Over time, administrators forgot about this accident. And let's go back to contributing patrolling checking some comments, (if there is vandalism, revert), reply in CN, SN, add if unsigned, move questions CN, SN, etc. Thanks. <b style="color: #1965e0;">YellowFrogger</b> <b style="color: #069404;">(<b style="color: #069404;">✉ Talk </b> <b style="color: #069404;">✐ Edits </b>)</b> 05:26, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Your patroller was revoked just 4 days ago, so I don't feel that it would be very appropriate for me to grant it back after such few time has passed as it's hard to believe that the issues would have really been resolved during this short time. It also feels quite weird that you say that you regained the trust of admins and they 'forgot' and that's not what I've been told. For the time being, I don't really see any good argument for regaining patroller so quickly after it was removed. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I still believe this is the IDHT attitude because an admin recently said no to granting the right again. It takes time to regain the trust especially if you were making personal attacks against a user or more specifically Zppix, a former sysadmin who has contributed a lot to the MH, calling him weird and and untrusted on Discord. Laughing at the people who opposed their RfPs like they did here, adding log entries to signatures and calling people to calm down because they are desperate (why?). As such, I don't trust this user even with the autopatrol. My suggestion for them would be to edit without rights for, say 3-4 months. --Magogre (talk)  09:01, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * In a lot of ways this user does mean well and a portion of instances I would like to believe come down to language barrier and choice of words. Fundamentally speaking, patroller is an image. Now, good things very much help with the image, but repeated instances and oddities (and no, I didn't see any admin, especially the revoking admin say trust was regained) make it a two sided issue - people could come across the good side, just as easily as they come across an event that makes them say 'why does this user even have that right?'. That is the problem at hand, the inconsistency which I believe come down to rough edges that need to be worked out. Patroller is not necessary to make any contribution except patrol marks, which I quite frankly tend to disregard and only mark when I come across them in manually reviewing most changes anyway. It's more of a feel. And that feel in the eyes of the meta community and meta administration is the key. --Raidarr (talk) 09:39, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If it's too much to also add this here, I might as well go ahead anyway: Earlier, when I was requesting a CheckUser on 2 possible sockpuppet accounts, YellowFrogger suddenly came on and used this dismissive tone, telling me to go and "talk to the account(s) owner(s)", which I was personally bothered by, and when I explained to him about the usage of the Checkuser tool, he eventually understood why I made the request in the first place. And, I'm glad you understood why I made the request on the Stewards' Noticeboard, as seeing their behavior from other places on this wikifarm got me convinced that they might be the same person.
