==Piccadilly Appeal==
are my gadgets good?
I rolled back my discussion started about an email due to procedural grounds. Specifically: Piccadilly is not allowed to appeal until November 17th.

==Bureaucrat==
Hi. Thank you for granting me sysop rights. <del>Could you please instruct me on how to request bureaucrat permissions?</del> <sub>I've already found it on [[Test Wiki:Bureaucrat policy]]</sub>. By the way, what is the purpose of providing links to other accounts (Miraheze, Wikimedia, etc.) on RfP? Do they have any impact on user trust? Do they prove user experience? Regards, [[User:BZPN|BZPN]] ([[User talk:BZPN|talk]]) 20:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
:They serve to prove that you are who you say you are, and therefore do have somewhat of an impact on user trust if you have advanced rights elsewhere. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 22:10, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Trouted for granting CheckUser permissions to an alternate account Can happen, fortunately it was not used by him, I see. On behalf of the steward-team: the matching trout. Drummingman (talk) 14:03, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
A request for comments at the community portal led to the implementation of a new policy outlining the requirements that users must meet in order to request bureaucrat rights.
Technical news
Following a request for comments at the community portal, two new user groups - abusefilter-admin and abusefilter-restricted were created. These rights can only be assigned by following a vote on the community portal and/or at least two stewards supporting it.
Extension:Report has been added, allowing users to privately report revisions of pages for the steward's or suppressor's attention (T99).
Extension:UnusedRedirects has been added, which users can use to grab the list of redirects that aren't used (T105).
Partial action blocks are now in effect on the Test Wiki. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks (T106).
Miscellaneous
The name of the userRightsManager gadget has changed to UserRightsManager, so some users may have the gadget turned off. It may be necessary to re-enable it in the preferences.
