Revocation of Fungster (Wiki Creator)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Per self-acceptance of behaviour - not revoked under self request. John (talk) 17:44, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

User: Fungster ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: This request is made in my capacity as a user. After an IP address vandalized Meta earlier today, User:Fungster suspiciously wrote this comment on this talk page, basically implying that his IP is the one who did the vandalism (therefore him). In light of this, I don't think he has any place to continue to be a wiki creator, as wiki creators must be users who are trusted. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 16:30, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * And if my right was removed, I will never apply for this right again. Instead, I will apply for rights such as translation administrator or rollback. Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 12:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Now I know why I applied too early to be a wiki creator. Similar to Bonnedav where he/she has registered more than half a year before applying as a wiki creator. the next time I will request as a wiki creator is when my sister stops vandalizing (that will be possibly impossible) Fung ster (contribs - email - CA) 12:42, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

User: RhinosF1 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: I'd like to help out with Miraheze a lot and understand the procedure regarding wiki creation. I have 2 wikis myself, one which I am working on and one which I am about to start adding to soon. I have also been helping out with Phab tasks and moving them into the correct places. I know a bit about Python and have worked on some IRC & mediawiki bots.

Additional comments: I'm RhinosF1 in most places (GitHub, WMF projects, IRC, discord)

Amanda Catherine (Wiki Creator)
User: Amanda Catherine ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; block log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Creator Reason: I would like to help out more on Miraheze and I understand that more wiki creators are always needed

Additional comments: I've been on the fence about whether I wanted to put this out here for a couple of days now, and I've ultimately decided to go for it. I've been a member of Miraheze in good standing for approximately a full consistent year now. Despite having a few periods of inactivity due to personal issues, I believe that I am still able to volunteer at this basic level.

In the interest of full disclosure and transparency, an essay regarding my history with Miraheze can be found here. However, as that is entirely history, I will not discuss the contents or the context of that essay here, but I'm putting it out for anyone who may want to read it. Amanda Catherine (talk) 00:10, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Comments/Questions
Are you under 18? If you are, we want to see some very young volunteers on Miraheze, and maybe if this is continued, we could outrun the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and sign an appeal to John. I am under 18 too. --Znotch</b>190711</b> (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 17:23, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it's OK for her to become a wiki creator if the community thinks she's trustworthy again. Personally, I am not opposed to it, at least.-- 09:31, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I feel that's an inappropriate question because it is personal information. I will not disclose my age, besides stating the fact that I am a legal adult. Amanda Catherine (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Votes

 * While I do think she's been helpful on phab and other places for months, I wasn't around back when she had some issues with the community, and thus I don't think I'm in the position to judge whether she has regained the community trust. Therefore, I would like to keep myself abstained on this topic.-- 09:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * It looks like a clear oppose to me. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 11:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * As an opinion, true, but whether we should treat it as an official vote is a different thing.-- 11:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I do not use templates. Treat it as oppose. &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  12:55, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for your clarification.-- 13:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't usually comment on non-advanced user rights requests so this act alone shows the strength and angle I'm coming from. I'm completely ignoring the history here, it's irrelevant to me. It's a case of both sides baiting each other where both sides carry fault and neither has the morale ability to go "yeah well you did x" because the side saying that, did something equally as bad. Amanda has been fairly active both community and technical wise, I have full trust in her ability to handle wiki creations and she always pushes the understanding of obscure, unwritten or unclear policies, guidelines and behaviours. This is an action I like as it increases and enforces accountability. I do not believe she will abuse the ability, neither will she use them against the written policies since she is such an advocate of clear and written word. Further with recent changes, there is even less risk with wikicreator privileges than in the past - so even if I had doubt, the doubt would not be a major issue for me. John (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh, both sides? Then what's your view on the fault the community side had back then? Could you tell us in detail?-- 13:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If you review the history, my views are made clear there. In summary, members of the community and Miraheze system administrators chose to provoke conflict, create unnecessary drama and chose to take escalatory steps instead of dispute resolution, listening and responding appropriately. There was a choice of "us v them" mentality instead of a fostering inclusive community vibe, where everyone is equal. John (talk) 15:41, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * helpful on phabricator, seems to know how things work. I trust this user won't do anything stupid with the tools. Also able to help with french Spanish requests, which is even more helpful to the already small team and a helping hand is always welcome. User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 20:37, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, why do you mention French requests? According to the userpage, the user does not speak French. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 05:58, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Corrected. Silly me. User:RhinosF1 - (Quirc) (chat (on meta) ) · CA 06:29, 17 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I would like to say yes, I think she could help, but I do not feel able to give my opinion in this situation. She has had a problem with the community in the past and I have not been at that time. I do not know the user very much to say yes or no. -- Dark Dragoon  (talk)  10:04, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no concern about Amanda's sister had disruption in the past ago, anybody were make the mistaken, nobody else are perfection, as long as the person knew how to learn and reform their bad behavior.

 * Although we do need more wiki creators, My strong oppose means one thing: User:Amanda Catherine says that "Despite having a few periods of inactivity due to personal issues," I don't think a user full of personal issues should be a wiki creator, as Miraheze is growing bigger and wiki creators who are inactive for a week or so should be removed from all rights (except for autoconfirmed) in my view. I cannot tolerate wiki creator candidates in this way as some new users who don't know the internal structure or Miraheze should have their wiki requests approved sooner. --<b style="color:blue">Znotch</b><b style="color:red">190711</b> (Contribs - My wiki - CA) 17:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The personal issues that I experienced in the past have been resolved for now, and so they should not affect my ability to be a wiki creator. Besides, while we do need more wiki creators, we have enough who are prolifically active that it's not the end of the world if I happen to need to take some time off again. This isn't adminship or stewardship where extended inactivity is discouraged. Revoking advanced rights after just a week of inactivity is unreasonable and we would end up with far fewer, not more, users with advanced rights under that principle. Considering your inappropriate question above, and your questionable behavior elsewhere, this will be my last interaction with you. Amanda Catherine (talk) 17:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I do agree with Amanda that revoking wiki creator after one week is an absurd proposal, as users cannot be expected to be that active at all times, wiki creator is a volunteer position after all. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 18:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

RhinosF1 (sysop)
User: RhinosF1 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: I'd like to apply for sysop even though I'm new because I've noticed how small the sysop group is and I think I could be a good extension to the current team. During recent issues with vandalism and where things required a sysop-attention there can be a long wait for sysop attention when I've been around and could have been helpful but had to wait for a sysop to turn up which was in cases hours later. Additional comments: I also have been helping Miraheze on Phab and Github and I use this nick on IRC/Discord/Wikimedia/Github and probably a few more things if you want to check on anything I've done elsewhere or ask me anything.

 * 3)  Personally I feel that wiki creatorship on Miraheze is the role that should be "no big deal" because there are only two policies that they have to follow, and neither is very complicated. However, that being said, looking through this user's CentralAuth, I don't feel that they have enough global activity at this time to justify my support. I'm happy to support anyone for wiki creator as long as they show some significant global activity somewhere, but having only 39 edits to the wiki where they are the most active (and the wiki where they hold bureaucrat and sysop permissions) doesn't quite inspire confidence.

Revocation of MacFan4000 (sysop)
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log )

General information
Type: Revocation Group: sysop

Reason for request
Since 22 May, after sysadmins took away his sysadmin permissions because of a investigation according to the logs MacFan4000 has not had any edits or any actions on Miraheze at all. Meta needs active administrators not people who seem to have left the project. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:15, 8 August 2019‎
 * Plus, this user has advanced user rights and one time I asked him what is going on on testwiki.wiki, and this reply from RhinosF1 already stated that he isn't active anywhere.
 * That was based on pure stats from Phab, Meta, IRC etc. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 08:44, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Comments
I feel like users who have advanced user rights who are inactive on wikis should have their rights immediately revoked if stewards as a group establish a consensus which opts out of the current admin inactivity policy (set up at 28 June 2019) as 6 months inactivity. There have been cases where users got removed from wikicreator rights due to inactivity (especially this diff), so I think this request for removal should prevail. --znotch190711 (temporary signature) 08:34, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * There is absolutely no need for Stewards to override a local wiki's policy, if it functions and if the administrators are active. It is out of the question that the Meta admin policy would be "opted out" by Stewards. Wiki creators have been removed based on the local policy, nothing else.

 * I agree with Dee, but extreme inactivity is not a major thing. The application of the new crat/admin policies has tightened the requirements a lot. Thanks, and . znotch190711 (temporary signature) 08:10, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * as I've said on the CVT page but I think we should maybe consider a post on community noticeboard or something to remove all rights on meta and global rights and anyone other action we want. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 08:12, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If I understand correctly what you're saying, I think CN is more of a discussion board rather than one where rights are handled. In my opinion, unless we have a specific page for revocation, it should be done on the same page as appointment. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 08:27, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * it was more to stop multiple revocation discussions on the same person happening all over the place etc. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat) · CA · contribs · Rights - ) 08:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That is true, but we can't mix up global rights and local rights, as they are separate and have different requirements (i.e. Meta has a specific revocation rule, while CVT doesn't). Meta administrator and CVT are completely separate rights and thus shouldn't be mixed together. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 08:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Wiki1776 (Wiki manager)
User: Wiki1776 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki manager Reason: For several months now, I have been volunteering at Phabricator dealing with requests for extensions, skins or other configurations. Like most extensions, skins and some configurations are in ManageWiki and don't need to be done in GitHub anymore. I would like to request permission from Wiki Manager to enable the configuration that is requested in Phabricator.

Additional comments: I registered in 2017, I have more than 5000 global editions, 570 local editions. I have a moderate participation with the community. I am WikiCreator and Interwikis Administrator

CnocBride (Wiki manager)
User: CnocBride ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki manager Reason: I have served Miraheze for many months and I always look for opportunities to help the community to the best of my ability! While my request for steward was unsuccessful as the request was obviously poorly timed, I would like to request wiki manager as I have experience in wiki management and have already proven myself, while maybe lacking insane amounts of free time, a competent and helpful user on Miraheze. So, I come here today, to the community of Miraheze, to request rights for wiki manager.

User: AlvaroMolina ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki Manager Reason: Hi, today I come to request the Wiki Manager permission with the aim of helping in the tasks that involve managing the wikis settings when it is required, in addition to supporting extensions requests through Phabricator and that can now be managed from here without having to resort to GitHub. Currently my personal time does not give me enough time to spend here, but in case of having free time (mainly on weekends), I would not have problems in helping in this.

 * The user has no activity in Phabricator and GitHub since October 2017, since July 31 only approved one request for Wiki, its other editions were in Votes but I do not consider it enough. I would expect to see an average activity of 5-25 voluntary actions in two months before voting in favor. El usuario no tiene actividad en Phabricator y GitHub desde octubre de 2017, desde el 31 de julio solamente aprobó una solicitud de Wiki, sus demás ediciones fueron en Votaciones pero que no lo considero suficiente.

 * Comments/Questions

Could you please give examples of why "there are not enough administrators"? There is not that much activity on Meta, and as far as I've seen there have not been requests that have gone long without being done (that a Meta admin can take care of) and there has also not been any vandalism recently, or if there has it was taken care of in a speedy manner. At this time, I wouldn't really see the need for a new administrator. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 11:55, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
 * There are possibilities of that more socks of lawrence-prairies will be discovered. There are only admins here. Anyways, i think that it will be fine for that i request admin. Can you send a message to users to call people to vote LegoMaster (talk - contribs - logs - uploads - global contribs) 10:21, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Why would there be possibilities of that, since there haven't been in a while? In my opinion, the current number of administrators is enough, and you have not demonstrated a real need for it. As for the message, I am working on creating a system to do so. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 10:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
