Meta:Administrators' noticeboard

Question
Can a steward check out this user talk page? https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:Pugsleyfan69420 Iron Sword 23 (talk) 00:35, 17 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you. ✅. For future reference, a Meta administrator should be capable of handling this. Dmehus (talk) 00:54, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. Iron Sword 23 (talk) 00:54, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Can you please give me admin?
I want to become an administrator of Miraheze. Jeffersonkendric (talk) 12:03, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Highly unlikely at this time. If you really want it, show up around, comment, lend support and be a known figure around Miraheze. It's a bit of a road to getting permissions; if/when you feel confident, you can make a request here. But again I strongly do not suggest it now. It takes community consensus and current administrator approval, and right now the first hurdle is for the Meta community to know you, then trust you. Double what I just said if you meant administrator of Miraheze, as in something like steward. --Raidarr (talk) 12:39, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Indeed, as Raidarr pointed out, you need to contribute more before you can become a sysop or a Steward. If you're interested in contributing, visit the Contributing page. There are many opportunities available for you if you wish so. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 01:37, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Another thing to point out is that it also takes a lot of knowledge, like the wiki's source code and programming language (although not all Stewards know all the programming out there, but CAN patrol whatever wikis they can bet an eyelash on, though).

 * This is essentially a dead thread; please stop replying and let Revibot archive this. Thank you. 14:01, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, I am not sure why programming knowledge would be required for admins. 14:01, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Ugochimobi's RfP
I am Requesting Interface Administrator and Patroller

The main reason is 1) Per Interface Admin, I want to help create some MediaWiki messages that appear when a particular page is protected and also respective of the protection level. 2) Per Patroller, I want to help patrol pages on META and also curb vandalism as much as is humanly possible, I have personally created a script to help Patrollers and Rollbackers to UNDO changes that are vandalism. The script can be found at User:Ugochimobi/undo.

I await a grant from any META Admin. Thanks. Ugochimobi (talk) 20:33, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Candidate for translation administrators
Hello, I am and as observed from the heading, I am requesting the translation admin flag. I have been active on meta since when I joined Miraheze, translating from English to Urdu. I can translate from urdu to English as well. I have read Translation administrators and have some knowledge to help out being a translation admin. Thanks for the consideration, ~ Mazzaz (talk) 07:33, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Help!
Hello, please check mh:taiwanrailtransport:CommentStreams:Sandbox. I was experimenting with the page changing the content model and now I cannot delete it. Can someone help me please? Thanks. 54nd60x (talk) 13:01, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Checking... Ugochimobi (talk) 13:16, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * According to the Page history, You changed the content model of the page from Javascript to wikitext, well, I wonder how you created it with a javascript content model. I know for sure that when you change the content model of a page, You can no longer edit its former revisions. But it's currently showing Action edit is not allowed on comment pages. because Editing, deleting, and moving comment pages by visiting them in the CommentStreams namespace is disabled. Ugochimobi (talk) 13:23, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So... how do I get it deleted? I know I can uninstall the extension, but uninstalling it will leave a nasty page (i.e. Special:Badtitle/NS844:Sandbox) but I don't know how to get rid of it. 54nd60x (talk) 13:37, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: I just noticed that editing the page with Minerva skin on mobile view for some reason does work. 54nd60x (talk) 13:54, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * According to what I said above, pages in the CommentStream namespace can not be deleted because it is disabled for everyone, like from the MediaWiki itself. I don't really know how it's possible for you to have been able to edit it using Minerva skin but since you can, then try deleting it using the Minerva skin and see if it'll work. Ugochimobi (talk) 14:05, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I just tried on my end using the Minerva skin and I couldn't even edit it. Ugochimobi (talk) 14:08, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

To edit the page, I used the Minerva skin on mobile view ("Mobile view" has to be clicked at the bottom of the page.) I couldn't delete it using Mobile view Minerva skin, but I really want the page to be gone. If it cannot be deleted, then there should have been no way for me to be able to edit it (that includes changing content model) in the first place. To my knowledge, changing the content model of a restricted page gives an error, but why did this not? And if it can't be deleted, then what should I do to get rid of that page on my site? 54nd60x (talk) 14:14, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I can assure you that you can not delete that page, except it's possible you file a Phabricator task asking the System administrators to see if they can delete that page from your wiki's database, that might help only if possible. Ugochimobi (talk) 14:26, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
