Steward requests/Global permissions/Global renamers

Not ending before 29 May 2015 16:14 UTC

Hello everyone, today I ask for Global Rename permission to be added on my account, reason for this request is because the backlog on rename request already long (w:id:Wikipedia:Pengubahan nama pengguna/Permohonan), and there's only 2 Renamer available (bennylin as stewards, and Mimihitam as G Renamer) but Bennylin have no interest handling this request and Mimihitam are on vacation IRL, another reason that pushing me to ask for this permission is that Bonaditya request for Global Renamer got rejected because he have no/little experience with Xwiki, Bonaditya is one of the active admins currently id.wp have on it's undermanned status (We currently only have 26 admins to handle all this stuff), so in actuality currently there's no Indonesian Global renamer that needed to handle id, ace, bjn, map-bms, bug, jv, min, su and other local language that have wiki Inside Indonesia (Indonesian sister projects). I made this request so I could handle the request and solve the backlog. For my suitability for this rights, I think I have crosswiki experience, and language skill to handle the request and I am familiar with Xwiki works. Thank you for reading this request.--AldNonymous ^Bicara? 16:14, 15 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

• sigh I guess I don't really like that this request comes just a few weeks after d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Administrator/Aldnonymous, where concerns were raised regarding the candidate's communication; running for something else so soon after that just doesn't sit well with me. I also don't think the rationale is that valid either: the local request pages are a convenience, not a necessity, and if the staffing doesn't exist to run the page, then it should be redirected to Meta, or to that new tool in the Special: namespace that was recently developed. So I would have to oppose this. --Rs chen 7754 01:25, 16 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  @Rschen7754: Easy for you to say that, I already ask local crat to ask for this rights, only mimihitam asking it, meanwhile others give disinterest response, I ask other local sysops, only Bonaditya ask it, but even so, he got rejected because no xwiki experience, we also already place the pointer page to meta, but they don't want to place it here because meta still using mainly english on its request page, then we try communicating with them offline from facebook and explain the process, even so they got dejected and give up on the renaming process, I am actually depressed with this situation, and the mistake few days ago on Chinese G Renamer renaming Indonesian user wrongly because it was a spam account and religious attack account didn't make it all better, hence this request. I probably only going to use this G Renamer temporarily until there are other Indonesian G Renamer.--AldNonymous ^Bicara? 04:22, 16 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  Then we should take the issue up with those global renamers. Meanwhile, Special:GlobalRenameQueue and associated pages are supposed to be translated as part of the interface. --Rs chen 7754 15:44, 16 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  @Rschen7754: Your answer made me realize you are not really familiar with renaming please do see w:id:Istimewa:GlobalRenameRequest It's already in Indonesian (This link already inserted on local rename pages but they don't use it -senior editor like Anbu(see w:id:Pembicaraan_Pengguna:Aldnonymous/Arsip_002#Bls:_Akun_global) and Hiro Hamada(see w:id:Wikipedia:Pengubahan_nama_pengguna/Permohonan#Andika_Rahman_Hakim_.E2.86.92_HiroHamada1)-, after the wrong rename by some Chinese Global Renamer, indicating that experienced user don't trust this special pages request despite the endorse to using it onwiki and offwiki), some people already made the request, some don't made the request after they saw the wrong rename happened to some of the editor, it's showing that language comprehensive are required when handling request from specified language such as Asian (non germanic) language.--AldNonymous ^Bicara? 16:38, 16 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  I don't think that is a problem of the page itself, which is IMHO very intuitive. You just have to enter the desired username and a reasoning and hit "Submit". If people is being wrongfully renamed I think that they a) need to read the pages before submitting requests or; b) find that user making bad global renames and educate him on doing right his job or remove their rights as Rschen7754 said. I'd say that that special page would be the only way to request renamings in the future when the SUL-F process is fully done... and many major projects are replacing local request pages in favor of this centralized system (eswiki for example). Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio 22:34, 18 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  True, but it's hard to change habit, local procedure that already prevail for a long time and local sysops/'crat that are used to old rename process is hard to adapt with new rename process, the current gap of number id-N renamer didn't make it better as no id-N renamer available to "actually" explain stuff to them, it's within my interest that I want to change their rename process to match the current meta rename and use that special pages hence I keep asking local sysops or 'crat to ask for G rename as I already explained by me on previous comment, but as expected, Bonaditya got rejected because low Xwiki activity, hence I made this rename request because I already give up on searching local admins that are willing to ask for Grenamer, the fact that the process for this rights are made hard for them because they have low Xwiki activity makes them timid and reject the idea of making them Grenamer.--AldNonymous ^Bicara? 22:46, 18 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

• Oppose Oppose per Rschen7754. The amount of rights requests has been rather excessive, in my opinion.--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:11, 16 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
• Support Support He is the best candidate for an id-N global renamer we had "so far" (=in the last months) and he tried his best to find someone else, so he is just honestly filling a real gap. I know nothing about his request for administrator flag and related doubts, but personally I had no problem with his "communication" style.--Alexmar983 (talk) 21:40, 16 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi all, I'm an active member on Vietnamese Wikipedia from 2009 and have a lot of cross-wiki experience. I service as a sysop on vi.wp, wi.wikt, outreach and some other Wikimania wiki, also an OTRS member and has an account on Foundation wiki. My homewiki has a ton of outstanding request for rename (vi:Wikipedia:Đổi tên người dùng), because we only have two global renamer and both are very busy with real-life now. I would like to help Vietnamese speaking users here and at local request pages, also for some languages which is my language (ja-4 and en-2). I'm not a bureaucrat anywhere but I believe I'm sufficiently familiar with the global policies, I have read all relevant rename policies. Regards and thank you for your consideration. --minhhuy ^(talk) 10:02, 19 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

• Support Support Obviously, experienced enough with User case related from OTRS, and have enough Xwiki experience.--AldNonymous ^Bicara? 10:24, 19 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
• Support Support why not? Jianhui67 ^{talk ★contribs} 10:31, 19 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
• Support Support I remember your name, I though you would have been a good GR candidate. You have good croos-wiki activity and you are an experienced sysops on more than one project, so there is user-related expertise. ja-4 is a plus, en-2 is enough. my humble suggestion: could you also help translating the Global rename policy page in Tiếng Việt? Also Help:Unified_login/vi is not complete, some parts are still in English. --Alexmar983 (talk) 12:25, 19 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  @Alexmar983: Sure, all translations were done now :) Thank you. --minhhuy ^(talk) 20:26, 19 May 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
