Proposal

Should we create a group of trusted bureaucrats, empowered to assist stewards? This group would not have access to PII. Justarandomamerican (talk) 19:11, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Discussion

Support

•  Strongest support Quaille (talk) 07:50, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
•  Support, but I think the functions and requirements of this group need to be explained further. 浅村しき (talk) 07:36, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Comments/Neutral

• I have no opposition in regards to the concept of this group at present time, though I do think it needs to be fleshed out more (permissions, granting criteria, etc.) before a community discussion/vote. I do, however, question the current need of the group as there are frankly a sufficient number of stewards to handle all tasks. If this were to change, I would likely be in support, but as of now, I'm going to land in Neutral. X (talk + contribs) 22:14, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

  Here's a more fleshed out idea: This group would have no more special user rights than regular bureaucrats, and therefore, would merely be a list of users empowered to assist. Assist, well, that could be a variety of things, but I'll define it as "issue user restrictions, long term blocks, and any other measures deemed necessary to assist stewards." How does that sound? Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:26, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

  In terms of granting criteria: there must be some form of activity on the wiki, and the group would be Steward appointed only, with a vote of confidence from another steward required. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:27, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

• I'm honestly not sure where to land my vote on this. However, I lean towards giving weak support or opposition mainly because activity hasn't been elevating around here lately. Thus, there isn't much to combat in terms of vandalism. Yes, there is ongoing spam, but Bosco has been actively fighting against it and does an excellent job of doing so. I agree with X's "fleshed out" idea and the mention of the steward's team. Username (talk) 22:51, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
• What user rights would the proposed user group have? Codename Noreste (talk) 21:49, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

  None, it would purely be a list of users empowered to assist. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:13, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

  Technically, they are your average everyday bureaucrats. The only difference is, these bureaucrats are formally entrusted to assist stewards on their job. Quaille (talk) 07:56, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello All, I am Peterxy12, an active administrator and bureaucrat on testwiki.wiki. I have been here for a little over 2 months and I believe I can help perform steward actions when they are requested. I think our community needs multiple active stewards at all times and currently we have 0. If the above request for stewardship is successful, then we would have 1. I believe we need a steward team, which is more than 1. I believe I can assist there because when I requested a rename it took over a month because our current stewards are busy on other projects. I have performed all rights requests since my account was created. I have also performed all inactivity removals. Each of these I have performed appropriately. With steward tools, particularly suppression and checkuser, I understand how they work and can use them well. I will use oversight to hide personal information and extreme threats. With checkuser, I will investigate the IPs of accounts and LTA. Feel free to ask me questions below. Peterxy12 (talk) 07:25, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Oppose

•  Strongest oppose Quaille (talk) 08:23, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
•  Oppose We have already 6 stewards and we can find them on Discord to do any steward actions (such as renaming users and perform CU and OS actions). Also, I am not sure this user can use steward tools accordingly. Bosco (talk) 08:32, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
