Hello! I saw you granted yourself interface admin (IA) rights. I trust you completely with these, but I urge you to be very cautious. As a IA on another wiki, I can say that sitewide JS/CSS is very complicated. I couldn’t find any experience that you had with this on other projects, so I just thought I’d urge you to be careful when making actions. |

==Interface admin== |
|||
Hello @[[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]]. Sorry to bother you again. I was wondering if you could grant me interface admin rights so I can import a script from For-Test Wiki here and perform some minor improvements to the user rights manager script (and also possibly Twinkle). I am an IA on ForTest Wiki, if that means anything to you. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 17:48, 16 June 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:*{{On hold}} - Give me some time, I am also reviewing it with another steward :-), Greetings, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 19:14, 16 June 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:*:Sure. Take your time, I get it. :) [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:*:If I may, why do you feel you have to ask your fellow stewards before performing every steward action? The community elected and put their trust in '''you'''. When I was a new steward on FTW, I’ll be honest, I did the same thing. I asked my fellow stewards questions before performing any action. I just wanted to remind you that the community trusts you :) [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 19:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:*::Thanks for the trust. Since this is a very sensitive right, as you also reminded me above, I think this is important, also because I have little understanding of interface issues. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 19:38, 16 June 2023 (UTC) |

==Redundant user rights== |
|||
Hey! I'm curious if it's okay to have redundant user rights—in my view, they make it harder to see the actual change in the rights log because of the many user groups. Basically asking if I should continue to try to keep reduce redundancy of user rights around the wiki. <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-weight:bold;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px cyan">[[User:Tester|Tester]]</span> ([[User_talk:Tester|ᴛ]]•[[Special:Contributions/Tester|ᴄ]]) 16:50, 4 March 2025 (UTC) |
|||
:Dear @[[User:Tester|Tester]], |
|||
:Well, I see your point. We are a test wiki, so, testing with user rights is part of the testing process. I don't think we should be too strict if people start giving themselves redundant rights. So, I tend to say, "let them do it". As long as they don't grant bureaucrat rights to any alternate accounts (sockpuppet and bots), I think it's permissible to have redundant rights.
