Is it still active? Bot still in #cvn-sw though no reports since September. The user page says "toolserver", not toollabs. As it has not reported, I have rem'd that section on Steward requests/Miscellaneous until it is back. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:08, 4 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hello,MF-Warburg.Please Review the Awadhi Language Test Wiki Project and verify the project to be eligible .--Anuraag Pandey (talk) 02:54, 5 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hello ,MF-Warburg.Kindly,I would like to ask you that what are the requirements missing for Awadhi Wikipedia Project ? I think we have ticked every boxes for the eligibility and final approval .The language is sufficiently unique having sufficient number of living native speakers to form a viable community.There is continuing effort for the localisation work too.-Anuraag Pandey ^{(Leave a message)} 05:52, 24 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hi, I think you have blocked my from all wikis by mistake as I don't remember making any kind of spam or vandal using this network. Could you please unblock me? --Subhashish Panigrahi (talk) 18:38, 14 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

I don't see any blocks on your account, so I guess it is an IP block that affects you? If so, please tell me the IP (you can also do it via stewards (_AT_) wikimedia.org if you don't want to post it publicly). --MF-W 20:22, 14 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hi - thanks for handling our temp admin rights (for myself and User:Bodrugan). We're starting to draft processes/guidelines for appointing admins. Can you let me know what would be the requirements for the kw.wiki to be able to 'self-sufficient' in appointing permanent admins by itself - I'm assuming its community size, but what kind of size do you use when considering requests? Many thanks! Sweorcan (talk) 09:17, 15 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hi. My views on this - and I believe of some other stewards as well - are based on the Requests for comment/Minimum voting requirements, which happened years ago. It's difficult to give exact numbers, as it is always a decision dependent on the individual cases, but I think that for granting permanent adminship on a wiki by stewards, there should be at least 5-6 users who vote/participate in the RFA who have at least 100 (preferably of course more) edits on the wiki in question. --MF-W 22:10, 15 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

Many thanks - Whilst I think (hopefully) grow over that rough benchmark, it's unlikely in the near future - so I'll write it into the guidelines I'm working on. Sweorcan (talk) 12:26, 16 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

I'm sorry for including you multiple times in my lists, and it is unfortunate I did not mention that the message is a one-time occurrence similar to the way the 2014 top medical editors were awarded with barnstars. I would hope you understand I included multiple copies of some names because I was unable to tell which main Wiki was involved. It is possible I should have looked for certain names on meta, but you are also one of a very few who are active enough to discover multi-wiki message, and I feared messages would not otherwise be read. I wish for you to accept my apology, and would consider our project a worthy cause anyway. CFCF (talk) 18:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

I see. I accept your apology; and do think the project is a worthy cause, however I have no idea how I could possible have been considered as a "top medical contributor" (on multiple wikis) as I am not really knowledgeable and active in that field. --MF-W 20:22, 28 January 2015 (UTC) Reply

On an issue similar to what I've been addressing (verrry slowly) at Talk:Language committee#Requests for new languages inconsistencies, I notice that some closed-discussion subpages under Proposals for closing projects have been semiprotected to prevent further editing by regular users, but most have not, leading to some good-faith mistakes like this. I was thinking of adding {{discussion top}} and {{discussion bottom}} to the subpages whose discussions are finished but are still editable, since that makes it immediately visually obvious that something special has happened (example). (Note that I have just added a parameter to the templates to allow suppression or replacement of the "Subsequent comments" part of the template message, if desired — see the template docs.) What do you think? I would have suggested just semiprotecting all such subpages as a normal part of the closure process, but things like this suggest that tagging with the template(s) might be a better approach. - dcljr (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

That's a very good idea; it used to be done in the past indeed. Please feel free to do it. --MF-W 11:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hi MF, a user can be the housekeeper took 90% of the vote? A person without a fight global as vandalism, only to have the steward comes to the vote would be as absurd as. Good wikis. --Uğurkent ^talk 14:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Sorry, I do not understand your question. Do you want to know whether someone can be elected who gets 90% support? --MF-W 16:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Yes, someone who is a not contribute as much cross-wiki with to be selected as 90% voting percentage? --Uğurkent ^talk 16:10, 9 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Well, that is depressing, but the majority of the voters doesn't seem to care. The only requirements in order to be a candidate who can get elected are listed here and they do not include "much cross-wiki activity". You can of course try to convince voters to oppose candidates who don't have enough crosswiki experience, but you don't need to try it here. I, for one, opposed all but three candidates in this election, but I am just one voter. --MF-W 16:44, 9 February 2015 (UTC) Reply

Dear MF-Warburg, on IRC/Channels you're listed as one of users who can be contacted to request access to #wikimedia-admin channel. Can you please provide me access to the channel?

Hi, stewards are a global user group - there are no stewards just for Breton Wikipedia, English Wikipedia, etc. --MF-W 19:44, 10 April 2015 (UTC) Reply

Mind if I say something? There are some users who speak breton and they might have specific flags at the "meta" level or on other wiki multilingual platforms (commons, wikidata), but as far as I remmeber no steward is br-N, br-3 or br-2. For example here I've tried to suggest to a br-2 user to apply for the flag of Global renamers. So, as you can see, there is some "attention" on the topic, even if it is a "minor" language.--Alexmar983 (talk) 22:12, 10 April 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hello, today I run a script to find translators for languages in need of most used messages translations. For the languages 80–99 % translated it went rather well (almost 700 quite active editors), but for the hundreds remaining languages I'm having issues, only 300 editors found. Is it realistic for incubator to have 114 languages with a MediaWiki locale but no Wikimedia project and not a single editor having at least 30 edits in 6 months? If not, I'm afraid way too many users are editing Incubator with English interface language. :[ --Nemo 17:21, 26 April 2015 (UTC) Reply

I remember global sysop and global rollback. How about some less-bureaucratic examples? –SJ talk 13:08, 15 May 2015 (UTC) Reply

Well, there are some examples with other global groups:

• most recently a global OTRS-member group after an RFC
• the group Abuse filter helpers which was created after a request on SRGP, intended at first to be only for one user (Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2013-02#Global_abusefilter_for_Nemo_bis)
• the group "global deleters", similarly (Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2014-09#Global_deletion_for_Pathoschild_.28temporary.29)
• a group for captcha exemptions, according to the log created after an OTRS ticket where someone requested such a right (Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/Captcha_exempted)
• global bots, created after someone wrote the "standard bot policy" (I don't remember if there ever was an RFC about it)
• the editinterface group, created and deleted and re-created over time for several people, until finally a policy slowly evolved (according to the log on Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/editinterface)
• New wikis importers, created after a discussion on Wikimedia Forum

Hi Warburg, I feel that the Konkani Wikipedia, which has been approved by LangCom, should inclue the Latin script articles as well. The only reason I've seen put forward to exclude the Latin script articles is that Devanagari is the official script. I've left a comment to this effect at the request discussion, please could you also share your thoughts, if any, about this there? Regards. The Discoverer (talk) 05:12, 19 June 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hello MF-Warburg, with respect to this discussion, please could you confirm whether you will import the Latin script articles too from wp/gom ? Thanks, The Discoverer (talk) 18:18, 19 June 2015 (UTC) Reply

Sorry, it was my mistake. I did not initially realise that the proposal had been for a Devanagari Wikipedia. I have made a more detailed request regarding this. How can I formally draw the attention of LangCom to this? The Discoverer (talk) 06:47, 24 June 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hello, I open a proposal for create an Galician-Portuguese Wikipedia, the Galician-Portuguese was a language spoke in Galicia and Portugal, between the X and XIV centuries, then Galician had influence of spanish and the Galician and Portuguee became different. This language was so important than Alfonso X, el Sabio of the foreign kingdom of Lion used this language in his poems as D.Dinis king of Portugal. Some experts in language, one recomenmed me this project, believe Galician-Portuguese is still in use by the different names Galician and Portuguese and the differences are little so there are different forms of a language you can look for more info. I haven ́t got ISO code because is an old language as Old English... Say please what things we have to do to turn it eligible.

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum(_AT_)wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,

Hello. It does not seem a very good idea to put an unprotected template into it, as that would undermine the protection of the MediaWiki namespace, which precisely can only be edited by sysops to prevent that users (accidentally or maliciously) destroy the interface.

I profoundly recall your supportive gesture in the context of Maithili and how you highlighted some gaps to be filled before launching it as a full-fledged project

I request your kind consideration in the case of Westrn Balochi language as well. --Muzammil (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC) Reply

Why does it interest you? My computer is broken. --MF-W 15:46, 11 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

If I vandalize one more time will you globally block me and block me here anonymously and let me edit talk page? --74.131.36.145 21:30, 13 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

My dear Mr.MF-Warburg, I want to add the editing community in the Khowar Wikipedia but you have reverted my edits, please add the editing community which i have added earlier and delete other things that you see something are wrong if any, and guide us that how we can add the editing community in Khowar Wikipedia?-- Zaheeruddin25 (talk) 04:52, 22 November 2015 (UTC)ThanksReply

You moved the talk page but not the main page and broke the links. Please fix :-) odder (talk) 13:13, 25 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

How do you mean? I see Free Bassel/Banner and nothing on Special:WhatLinksHere/Banner:Free_Bassel. --MF-W 15:52, 25 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

I believe there was a mistake in what odder wrote — you have moved the main page but left the talk page (he wrote vice versa). I moved it later, after the odder's message here. --Base (talk) 17:20, 25 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

Our ony active and new sysop user:Aniket can't access to grant user right. All other sysop not active this time. So please solve this problem.-YmKavishwar (talk) 08:19, 28 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

Please, file such requests on SRP for every individual nomination that is ready. --MF-W 15:34, 28 November 2015 (UTC) Reply

It seems you've blocked me. Not sure what I've done wrong. Couldn't see anything on my talk page. Couldn't seem to write anything on your's (because I'm blocked :) )

Not sure if this is the appropriate way to contact you, but wasn't sure what else to do. The reference shown is:

Thank you

That's OK. I have created a new username, as I couldn't remember the old one. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MelShel (talk)

Hi there,

I’m Jethro, and I’m seeking your help in deciding topics for new IdeaLab campaigns that could be run starting next year. These campaigns aim to bring in proposals and solutions from communities that address a need or problem in Wikimedia projects. I'm interested in hearing your preferences and ideas for campaign topics!

Here’s how to participate:

• Learn more about this consultation
• Vote on and submit new campaign topics in the AllOurIdeas Survey
• Discuss campaign topics and ask questions on the IdeaLab talk page

Take care,

Hi dear MF-Warburg! We have problem in link to Azbwiki on other wikies.--Ebrahimi-amir (talk) 07:01, 10 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

Is this an interwiki link that comes from Wikidata? Which page is affected? All or only some? --MF-W 21:28, 10 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

There was in all pages. Now every thing is right! Thanks.--Ebrahimi-amir (talk) 15:19, 13 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

Hi! Can you please look at you talkpage on Incubator? Thanks. --Ochilov (talk) 11:06, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

I look at it all the time. --MF-W 13:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

Yeah, but you did not answer me there... --Ochilov (talk) 14:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

I was waiting for the issue to be resolved. Since today I first saw your message here, then there, I answered here, thinking it would be a sufficient sign to you that I had given attention to your message. Thanks --MF-W 14:54, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

Yeah, thank you very much. Sorry for confusing :) --Ochilov (talk) 15:31, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

Dear MF-Warburg, thank you for pointing this out. I am aware of most guidelines, but alot of unspoken rules I still need to make my own. With this particular case I followed several recent examples, but those might also have been overly cautious. If you have feedback to any of my actions in the future please proceed to tell me, so I can learn and do not repeat the same mistake. All the best, Taketa (talk) 19:17, 18 December 2015 (UTC) Reply

Please Open that by final decision please Now Wiki Thai want to open them [2] [3] -Parintar (talk)

I see you've globally blocked 2602:30A:2C48:EB10:E5AE:AD87:18A1:6A7B while leaving the user's articles in the Xhosa Wikipedia (see previous link). I assume you can't really tell if any are legit, but there are some that are clearly "sub-par", like these. Were you going to delete any of this user's articles? ... Oh, I see you've started to do delete stuff in the Venda WP. I guess you just haven't gotten to the other(s) yet. - dcljr (talk) 04:45, 5 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Yes, I deleted them now. It's quite easy to say that they are all not legit: they were all a copy of xh:ENetherlands. --MF-W 05:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Re "legit": I meant that if any of the user's articles actually were legitimate Xhosa text about the subject of the article, neither of us could know that for sure. I see that you left xh:Oceania in place (albeit modified), presumably for that very reason. - dcljr (talk) 00:11, 7 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Well yes, of course if they have content which looks like Xhosa, we'll probably not recognize if it's really Xhosa. But the guy didn't add any texts; xh:Oceania was edited by an IP. --MF-W 22:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Oops, yeah, you're right. - dcljr (talk) 00:38, 8 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Hello MF-Warburg! Bei [6] gab es 280 WMF w: Sprach- / wiki-Codes, die mit viel Mühe zusammengetragen wurden. Da hättest Du also ein weites Betätigungsfeld. Als Steward bist Du da nicht allein, siehe [7] (wurde gelöscht bevor das Modul gespeichert werden konnte). Hatte eigentlich erwartet Dich beim IRC #wikimedia-stewards anzutreffen. Vielleicht ein andermal. Gruß Gangleri auch aka I18n (talk) 08:57, 5 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Nein, dann müsste ich diesen Abschnitt ja löschen. --MF-W 19:42, 5 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Kannst Du bitte die beiden gelöschten Module wieder herstellen? Analog zu "list of articles all Wikipedias should have" d.h. Wikipedia:Vital articles (Q5460604) sollte es auch eine Auswahl von Modulen geben, die in jedem WMF-Projekt verfügbar sind. Das gilt natürlich auch für Vorlagen, Weiterleitungen usw. Gruß I18n (talk) 02:10, 6 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Ja, wofür brauchen wir die denn? --MF-W 22:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Hi, why there is a hold on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Bot_status#Jnanabot.40orwiki? --Jnanaranjan sahu (talk) 19:32, 21 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Because requests should at least be open for some days for everyone to have a chance to participate. For bot requests, I think 5 days is an appropriate time if nothing else is stated in some policy. --MF-W 21:33, 21 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Thank You. I will be waiting.--Jnanaranjan sahu (talk) 03:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC) Reply

Last December, I invited you to help determine future ideaLab campaigns by submitting and voting on different possible topics. I'm happy to announce the results of your participation , and encourage you to review them and our next steps for implementing those campaigns this year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered time to participate and submit ideas.

With great thanks,
