Could we get Twinkle in here?

Hi all,

I was doing Twinkle things and I realized I needed to get Twinkle into the GitHub source code. The source code’s here, and feel free to reply!

Blocking

Hello, I am considering blocking a user due to a linked WikiMedia user being blocked, They refuse to respond when I ask whether or not they are linked. What do I do?

Can my name be changed?

Hi, I was wondering if there's any way to change my name here to Bugambilia. Thanks! Marseillaise (talk) 16:36, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to try my candidacy for a steward

What do I do with the steward? Check users for additional accounts before assigning rights. For information:

 I have already created a wiki on my local Denver server, as well as via the PHPdmin database.

 If it is too early, do not feel ashamed.

1. I don't see any need for more stewards. The right is very sensitive as it has checkuser permission, it's better to limit this access to fewer people as possible. -- CptViraj (📧) 10:42, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

After several months of working in the test wiki and other projects, I realized that I can help. Of course, I am not the best participant, some project participants are even better than me in many ways, but I wanted to help this wiki specifically to reduce abuse and other important things. So, I ask you to grant me the steward. I promise that I will not abuse this right in any case. I try to help where my help is really needed. At first I thought of going to the system administrator to help the wiki, but first I wanted to let the community and the administration itself trust in my words. I am familiar with Git, SSH, extension installation systems, database updates without command line access, and other very important things in MediaWiki. Of course, if you don't need my help in this wiki, then you can leave it at that.

If you need my global accounts in Wikimedia, please take a look. There I am registered under the same nickname. Kazrok4545 (talk) 05:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC) Notification: @CptViraj:, @MacFan4000:, @Void:, @Sourav Halder:, @JJBullet:

   1. Yes, it is. Perhaps you are right. I don't know about the system administrators, but they seem to be able to handle it, too. If there are no more comments, you can close the application in a hurry. Kazrok4545 (talk) 11:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

How do you change your name?

Can bureaucrats change their own names here? I wanted to change to Seranida. Skiyomi Solace (talk) 22:53, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Just adding that I haven't been able to find the page to change my own name, could someone do it for me please? Skiyomi Solace (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

It would be Special:RenameUser, but it is restricted to stewards. You may however request a rename. MacFan4000 ^{(Talk Contribs)} 12:08, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

I see. Then can I please request a rename to Seranida? Thank you! Skiyomi Solace (talk) 18:43, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

checkuser

I wonder if one can checkuser him or herself here. Meta wiki, one of Wikimedia projects, says it can be done on test wiki. --DrizzleD-test (talk) 13:50, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

• Oh, I know now. Only bureaucrats can do it. --DrizzleD-test (talk) 14:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Case for Stewards

Page User:Qq808ms as a wiki page has been deleted. But problem hasn't been solved, because that user had inserted spam into own social profile. Only stewards are able to remove it. Neonek12 (talk) 19:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
