Wikivoyage:User rights nominations
|
If you believe a Wikivoyager – including yourself – should have administrative status or any other higher user right, then add that person's username to the nominations section below. If nominated for permanent administrator, the Wikivoyager should meet the guidelines for becoming an administrator. Generally speaking, they should:
Nominations must include a short statement outlining the nominee's eligibility in terms of these requirements. When responding to a nomination, most people choose to express their opinion with a bolded word or phrase, most often Support or Not yet, followed by an explanation of the opinion. After 14 days, a bureaucrat will close the discussion and, if there is a consensus that the nominee would make a good administrator, grant the administrator flag using Special:UserRights. Bureaucrats and interface admins should also be nominated here. Users running for interface administrator must also confirm that they have 2FA enabled before they are promoted as per WMF policy. If this is not done, the request will be closed as unsuccessful. Temporary permissionsMost requests on this page will go for 14 days and all will have a nomination period of 14 days, with the exception of temporary permissions, which may be granted no earlier than 7 days after the nomination was made if there are no outstanding questions or objections. An objection or question raised on the sixth day would automatically keep the nomination open (without temporary permission) for the full 14 days unless the matter was resolved before then. The nomination would always be open for 14 days so in some cases editors could comment after they have seen a couple of days of use of the temporary permission. |
Nominations
User:Wauteurz for temporary Interface Admin
Wauteurz is working on improvements to MediaWiki:vector-2022.css, to improve the appearance of the new Vector 2022 skin, but they can't actually change it without interface admin tools. Wauteurz (user contributions, User talk:Wauteurz) is a long-term trusted user on this site and User:SHB2000 previously suggested they be an Interface Admin in 2021. I doubt this will be a controversial nomination, and I certainly don't think it should be, but please give your opinion below. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:12, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- I trust him and this is much better done through personal privileges than by asking somebody else to copy code, so I support. –LPfi (talk) 21:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support per all the reasons already listed, with no objections and the feeling this is going towards unanimity. Ibaman (talk) 22:15, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support without hesitation. Ground Zero (talk) 22:56, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support, Wauteurz is doing a very useful job. AlasdairW (talk) 00:27, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support, of course. Wauteurz probably knows more about coding than most of our actual admins.--ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 02:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm glad to see all the support so far. I'd add that per a discussion on User talk:Ikan Kekek, it would make sense for the status to last 6 months. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:13, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I too am happy to support, but Wauteurz, can you confirm you have 2FA enabled? It's a WMF-mandated requirement. Thanks for voulunteering regardless! --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 04:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- I hadn't yet, but I do now. ― Wauteurz (talk) 06:20, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Cheers! Looks like your request will pass with flying colours. :-) --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 08:23, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- I hadn't yet, but I do now. ― Wauteurz (talk) 06:20, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support - Thank you so much for taking this on. Cyali (talk) 07:48, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Done – Wauteurz, you're now an interface admin. Your perms are due to expire on June 10, 2025 – make sure to renominate yourself for permanent interface admin by the end of May if you need the tools any further. SHB2000 (t | c | m) 00:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you everyone for your votes and comments! I'll try to get the desired Vector 2022 modifications live this weekend. Hopefully by the time that June rolls around, those modifications will have become redundant again because of improvements to the skin. ― Wauteurz (talk) 10:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
