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.

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.

 * Is there any other need than the one described? From a developer perspective this is 100% delegated to local communities. From an ops perspective, we now enforce a “if they can do it, don’t do it” policy. The reason provided personally goes against both these principles to me if it’s solely to do phab tasks over education and teaching. John (talk) 21:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * As I am also an active community member and I would assume trusted, I don’t see a reason I shouldnt be grnated this right. Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 23:53, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I’m a long standing hater of “I’m trusted so I want it” or “I want it so I’ll ask for it”. Especially rights like these, I want to see a clear use case because of the implications as a community user personally. If there’s no use case then personally I’m opposed because it’s only use case otherwise is to do what others can and should be taught to do, thereby increasing work load and dependence on others. John (talk) 03:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Per the RfC that split the rights into 2 wiki creators just need to ask for it if i understood correctly, a proper use case would be so I can assist the community with managing settings if I’m asked for that community’s assistance (within reason of course) Zppix (Meta | CVT Member | talk to me) 12:11, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

 * 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)

 * Unfortunately, after waiting a few days to consider this, I've chosen to open the voting with an oppose. I've decided to oppose this as in the short time this user has been back from an extended wikibreak where they had no contact with anyone on wiki, despite saying they've 'been helping out around here lately' I've yet to see them successfully help a single user on wiki. I've advised this user on IRC to wait for a week or two and make sure you show your face. When asked whether I'd nominate them days before this request, I again told them to wait a bit, to which they have not done which shows an eagerness similar to that of the current steward application of another user.

If you would like me to help out more than I am right now I really need somebody to tell me what to help out with other than to wait for a new post on the noticeboard. --<span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 20px lightskyblue, -4px -4px 20px HotPink;font-weight:bold;">Examknow ● talk ● contribs 19:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If you'd have waited a week or two and actually successfully helped someone on Phab/IRC/Wiki then I'd have been supporting you.

 * I understand the other comments here but wiki creator is made to help by helping people with creating their wikis. I do not understand why help on Phabricator is important for a wiki request. For me it is important that a wiki creator knows policies and has been around at least a bit which it seems that Examknow has. But I do have one worry and question which is why I voted weak, can you talk about why you are blocked on Wikipedia? --DeeM28 (talk) 08:31, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

 * All right, I agree with the fact that the signature was using a very and uncommonly long source code. However, you could've asked the user to fix it by him/herself before forcefully fixing it. A signature is marked to prove who posted the comment, and should not be fixed by others unless it's really necessary due to some serious reasons (such as, containing broken tags or malicious codes).-- 08:20, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Dross (Rollbacker)
User: Dross ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Rollbacker Reason: As I have been involved on meta for some time now, I would like to extend my capabilities with additional tools to help me in my day to day activities on meta. I have been caught in a handful of situations in which I was the only user online and ready to respond to vandalism and spam incidents. I believe that the undo function which comes with all user accounts suffices for a good majority of scenarios, but for those select situations in which the edit interface either extremely delays response or several revisions make it unreasonable to use such features, it becomes necessary to possess a tool which allows for quick, easy, and accurate reversion.

Additional comments: I'm not looking for any authority within the community, but rather an additional tool for me to continue doing the things I love to help this community. I do hope you'll consider this when presenting opinions.

 * 5) Not yet. I see lots of good translation work, and a desire to help. However, I believe this user has more to learn in ways of policy and practices before he will be ready for sysop. I say to come back in 2 months or so; in the mean time, perhaps look at other ways to help (perhaps translation admin?) .  dross  (t • c • g) 01:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Owen (sysop)
User: Owen ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: As you may or may not know, with the the creation of Miraheze Limited, Labster has recently transferred our financial assets to Miraheze Limited. The board has decided that Owen (John's cousin and board member) is the treasurer of Miraheze Limited and as such will be taking care of the finances from now on. Before, Labster was given sysop rights on Meta in order to be able to edit the Finance page which is a sensitive page that should only be edited by trusted people. As such, to be able to fulfill his new role Owen would now also need this right. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 15:42, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

 * As nominator, clear need for the role. Reception123 (talk) (<font color="#DC143C">'C' ) 15:43, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Needed to continue the transparency. Paladox (talk) 15:49, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think there any reason to oppose or abstain this. 16:14, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Trustworthy, polite, will help in his role. Owen is probably sick of me questioning everything the board do within an inch of its life if I can so he can’t mess much up. :) ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  19:31, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you kidding me right now? Frankly, the constant battery of bureaucracy and double-standards of the staff team lately is way out of order. It has been made clear many times before that Meta is intended for the Miraheze community as a whole, and should not be overrun by staff. Owen has no clear need for admin tools, and neither did Labster. Assigning these rights based simply on the principle of being staff is frankly offensive. What other options were considered? I mean,  exists for a reason (but that's not even mentioning the ridiculous mass protection here on Miraheze). As Miraheze is allowed to move to a new phase, let's leave all this staff bureaucracy in the past, and allow Meta to be community driven.  dross  (t • c • g) 23:45, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * This may be until a new user permission is created, in the meantime.. Hispano76 (talk) 01:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)


 * There's no doubt about it. Hispano76 (talk) 01:26, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * If the sole purpose of giving him the permission is to allow him to edit protected pages, we can simply create a new usergroup instead. Also, being trustworthy as the member of the board doesn't necessarily mean that he is trustworthy as a wiki editor. IMO, he doesn't seem to be very experienced in wiki editing, and thus do not think giving the whole sysop permissions is a good idea. As for Labster, Special:ManageWiki/permissions wasn't available back then. The situation has changed ever since.-- 03:48, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I have read the other comments and I agree that the bureaucracy around here and on the Wikipedias is very ridiculous at times. Though in this case I would rather that Owen has sysop as long as he only uses it for Finance. That is because the alternative is more bureaucracy, to create another group just for one user to edit a page. While I agree that this is not great, it is easier this way in my view. Or, would there be a technical way of allowing only one user to edit a page? If such technical way exists I am in favour of that and consider this vote as an oppose. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:55, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Revocation of Labster (sysop)
User: Labster ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: First of all, as always I want to make clear that when requesting revocation I do not want to discourage any user from participating and voluteering but I don't like people having rights and not using them or not having a need. I am not sure why it was not done concurrently with the nomination of Owen as administrator, but since Labster no longer has the need to edit the Finance page which is given as the reason for him being made administrator (before there was voting) I think that the original purpose for his adminship no longer exists and therefore it should be removed. Of course if adminship is still desired Labster should open a new vote, but the original mandate has been exhausted and there was never a mandate from the users for the position. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:55, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

 * No longer needed for editing Finance which was the original reason for appointment. --DeeM28 (talk) 09:19, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Labster has done a fair share of sysop work with his tools. It would also disrupt the precedent we've already set here on Meta. Frankly, if we're to examine anybody's sysop rights, we should be looking at revi, NDKilla, and SPF. We need to decide if sysop tools should be held onto for merit and edits, or just admin actions. Can't have it both ways. dross  (t • c • g) 06:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I've been active for last 6 months (per Requests for Comment/Meta administrator and bureaucrat policies and Special:Log/Revi - Nov and Dec actions (excluding wiki creation) are admin actions). &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  12:09, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't have any intent to accuse inactivity. While well within policy, I mostly just threw out a few that I saw didn't have heavy activity in the past couple weeks. dross  (t • c • g) 00:28, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The last actions on some pages/user(s) could be treated as potential abuse or COI actions, but as the issue seems to be discussed and resolved, I don't think there's an immediate need to revoke his permissions. If similar actions happen again, however, we might want to discuss this topic seriously.-- 12:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * She know what should do! I think that can be use in immediatelly situation. Cmg (talk) 16:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Rights are no longer needed, if not for the recent use of rights to gain an advantage in a dispute, would qualify for inactivity. Plus the rights weren’t give through community consensus. John (talk) 04:48, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * You don't look like an English native. Could you tell me what your native tongue is (since we do need more wiki creators who can deal with non-English requests)?-- 04:21, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reply. I'd like to you, as you seem to be able to read/understand English to some extent (which IMO is at an acceptable level for handling most of the English requests), and use languages that other wiki creators do not understand.-- 11:23, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 * DeeM28 what's the reason? However, it may not always be possible to handle requests in a particular language because other wiki creators will handle them sooner if the creator is absent. Hispano76 (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

 * 2) I do not know this user who is merely 13 days old here on Miraheze, and am not very sure about giving him/her advanced permissions at so early a stage as this. All right, s/he might be well known on WMF projects, but that is that, and I personally even think that giving him/her autopatrolled was too early as well (since I saw him/her importing this Huggle thing, which is probably unnecessary for Miraheze as of yet).-- 11:14, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * They’d actually requested Huggle and we’re given the rights to import it. They’re quite active on discord. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  13:17, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I understood about Huggle. Still, I think s/he should be known more to the on-wiki community.-- 17:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) I think for wiki creators it is mostly important that they are trusted with the role and in my view this user seems trustworthy. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:12, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
