Mass creation of templates for Meta Wiki
Hi DarkMatterMan4500,

As with Integer, your creation of templates for Meta Wiki is done in good-faith and laudable, so for that (Reviewing is a  useful template you added, by the way). However, I can't help but feel like you are both adding templates en masse from English Wikipedia, principally, without regard to the templates' utility. Additionally, please consider that Meta Wiki is not Miraheze Template Wiki, the free template repository. In my local capacity as an administrator on Miraheze Template Wiki, I'd be willing to grant you local importer privileges on that wiki if you are wanting to assist in importing useful templates that have broad, pan-Miraheze applicability, but only if you commit to importing templates that are (a) not too Wikipedia-specific, (b) in keeping with Miraheze Template Wiki's community-approved scope, and if (c) you commit to de-Wikipedia-ifying them. I wouldn't want to add  on that wiki, though, until I get a feel for whether or not you understand the wiki's approved purpose and scope.

Additionally, while being bold is good, please do consider the rate of your page and template creation on Meta Wiki. There isn't a terrible lot more that needs doing, but if you're interested in helping in some other way, just ask.

In addition, in your case, I was particularly troubled by your involved involvement, appearing to act in a pseudo-Meta administrator capacity, on the user talk page of a user with whom you have shared local  relationship on various local wikis, despite Reception123 and I asking you to avoid doing this here (and elsewhere).

I'm going to allow your  user group to stand for now, but bear in mind that if administrators feel your revisions need a bit of extra review with the heightened awareness that unpatrolled revisions provide, it may be revoked for broad, discretionary reasons.

Thanks for your understanding. :)

Cheers,

 * Okay, I'll stay out of it as much as possible and will only allow you guys to do so. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:59, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * And, the reason why I acted the way I did was to give them advice, and I had no intention of acting like an admin, when I'm an admin on other wikis, and not here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:01, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you. Yeah, it's honestly best you just not comment on interactions by a third-party with a user with whom you have close contacts elsewhere. Definitely don't have to participate less, just reach out to us to see what you can help with. Dmehus (talk) 17:12, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Asking for confirmation edits when Stewards and/or Global Sysops have already done so
Hi DarkMatterMan4500,

While you are doing this in good-faith, I'm going to ask you to please cease asking for confirmation edits, somewhat broadly construed, as you did here, especially when a Steward and/or Global Sysop has already done so.

Thanks,

 * That's perfectly fine, but if you have a minute (or when you are finished doing whatever you're doing), feel free to see your messages on you know what channel I'm talking about, so I'll save you some time when you're finished doing whatever task you're doing at this fine moment. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:27, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, about what you said, I mostly have this type of need to jump in and do all of this stuff out of impulsiveness. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:32, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll try and get to it before bed tonight, but no promises. It might wait until tomorrow. Dmehus (talk) 02:37, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Tomorrow sounds like a done deal to me. :) DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Apology for posting on a locked and closed wiki
I'm very terribly sorry for posting on a locked wiki that had a ManageWiki bug issue. But, for what it's worth, thanks for deleting them anyway. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:21, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 ✅. It was related to a bug, so it was good in that sense in that it identified a bug. Dmehus (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
