==Proposal== |

==Merry Christmas!== |

Should we create a group of trusted bureaucrats, empowered to assist stewards? This group would not have access to PII. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 19:11, 14 January 2026 (UTC) |
|||
Merry Christmas to all those here at The Test Wiki. |

==userRightsManager gadget is broken== |
|||
*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}}. [[User:X|'''<span style="background:#0F69B3;color:white;padding:5px;box-shadow:0 1px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2)">X</span>''']] ([[User talk:X|talk]] + [[Special:Contributions/X|contribs]]) 22:14, 14 January 2026 (UTC) |

I tried to approve a user's permission request with the userRightsManager gadget and found that the gadget is not working properly. Can the interface administrators fix this issue? [[User:LisafBia|LisafBia]] ([[User talk:LisafBia|talk]]) 19:07, 1 January 2024 (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? [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 23:26, 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. [[User:Username|Username]] ([[User talk:Username|talk]]) 22:51, 14 January 2026 (UTC) |

*What user rights would the proposed user group have? [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|talk]]) 21:49, 25 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. [[User:Peterxy12|Peterxy12]] ([[User talk:Peterxy12|talk]]) 07:25, 25 January 2026 (UTC) |

==Proposal to change an abuse filter warning== |
|||
Hello, everybody. |
|||
I propose moving [[MediaWiki:Newuser-externallinks]] to [[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-newuser-externallinks]], and changing the text of the filter warning message to something like this: |
|||
'''Warning:''' An automated filter has identified this edit containing external links. Test Wiki may not be used as a vehicle for promotion, and may result in being blocked from editing. If this edit is constructive, you may click "Publish changes" again to confirm it. If you received this message in error, please inform an [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|administrator]] of what you were trying to do. |
|||
Any inputs or concerns about this? If there are no objections, I'll be happy to do those changes in a few days. Thanks. – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 18:27, 25 January 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:As the original creator of the customized warning, I {{support|support}} this change. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 01:08, 26 January 2024 (UTC) |

==RFC: Clarify [[TW:IP|the inactivity policy]] for Non-steward suppressors== |
|||
{{discussion top|{{done|Passes}}. Non-steward suppressors will be held to a 3 month inactivity requirement. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 18:54, 28 January 2024 (UTC)}} |
|||
This is a rather simple proposal. Shall the inactivity policy: |
|||
#Be amended to include a 3 month inactivity period for Non-steward suppressors, |
|||
#Be amended to include a 1 year inactivity period for Non-steward suppressors; or |
|||
#Be amended to include another inactivity period for non-steward suppressors? |

==Another proposal to import Edit filter warning template== |
|||
I was thinking if I could import the Edit filter warning template from the English Wikipedia, but leave out the report error since there is no edit filter false positive page on Test Wiki. Any inputs, concerns or objections? |
|||
When triggering an abuse filter, it shows a red box with text; maybe we could add that proposed template under the name "Abuse filter warning", and protect it under an appropriate protection as a high-risk template? Thank you. – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 18:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:We can also redirect people to here (the community portal) to report false positives, or to contact an administrator directly. I think having some form of template would make things easier, so no objections. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 18:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC) |

::One more question: is bureaucrat protection appropriate when protecting a high-risk template? – [[User:64andtim|<span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:64andtim|<span style="color:#0F2298">talk</span>]])</sup> 18:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:::In this case, it would be, since the template would be used in the interface, and not protecting it as such would allow users without the edit interface right to edit the interface.

:<del>{{neutral}} Though you are a perfectly qualified candidate, I'd like to see the answer to one question, can you explain the need for another suppressor?

::Hello [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]]! There isn't necessarily the need, but it gives additional value, especially since two of the current stewards are less active, and as mentioned a bit further up, also gives different hours of coverage. FYI, my mainly available times are at most hours within the UTC+1 time zone (since I'm quite a night owl) with the exception for the early morning hours, and I regularly check my mail inbox, so I'm able to quickly act when needed.

{{s}} leaning neutral, I don't really have any objections, but think a month is a bit early.

::I will see how it goes, but I hope to be able to split my activity between different wikis like I've been able to so far, and I should be able to work it out - and if not, I would of course be removed for inactivity per Test Wiki policy.

==New filters made today== |
|||
Today, I have decided to make filter 121 which prevents personal attacks or harassment on user/user talk pages, and filter 122, which prevents new users from editing others' user pages. |
|||
Confirmed users and sysops may edit user pages, but they may not add {{tl|unlocked userpage}} on a random user page; it may only be done by the user themselves or a steward. |

==RFC: Allow non-steward suppressors to perform "steward actions"== |

Hi all, |
|||
Looking back in my original proposal to create the non-steward suppressor group, I found that I forgot to add the ability to perform steward actions to the list. I think this is quite needed as suppression blocks are a large part of the job, in addition to evidence for blocks being hidden behind a suppression. For transparency, see [[User talk:Justarandomamerican#Suppression log]] for part of the reason why this is being proposed. Thank you.

Steward actions and other special types of blocks are mainly governed by long standing practice. In this case, [[Test Wiki:Blocks and bans|our information page on these practices]] includes a suitable alternative meant for suppression reasons, such as completely inappropriate vandalism or personal information without consent that has to be suppressed. If this proposal is about allowing the group to basically become steward-lite through formal capacity, then {{oppose}}. NSSs should stay within their scope of suppression.

:No, that is not at all the goal of the proposal. It is strictly to allow them to call blocks steward actions. My apologies, I should have worded that better. [[User:X|X]] ([[User talk:X|talk]]) 00:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC) |

I'm not quite confident in using <del>regex</del> <ins>the abuse filter rules</ins> yet, so can someone who is create an abuse filter that disallows common phrases used by [[User:Piccadilly|Piccadilly]]?

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)

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)

Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:26, 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 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)
