Meta:Administrators' noticeboard

Error publishing translation
I tried to create a Finnish translation for Category:Board (so Category:Board/fi) but it failed. The reason is AbuseFilter (see log for me). Can any of the administrators create a page Category:Board/fi with content Luokka:Hallitus (in Finnish, board mean hallitus). --Anton (talk) 17:06, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Anton Yeah, we've got to either fine tune that abuse filter, or go back to manually blacklisting certain Board pages from editing. The latter is a bit more work as meeting notes and agendas are posted, but I do favour that option. I'll try and take time to do that tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 01:51, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks for reply. Anton (talk) 08:04, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

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)
