Oversight role?

@MacFan4000 and Void: Do you think it'd be possible to get an oversight role? Seemplez (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Seemplez: I'm just gonna bump in here, but there's no need for it right now. From what I've seen, everything is fine, and the CheckUser right isn't really needed either, the only use for the Steward permission is that it can revoke bureaucrat permissions from a user. BlackWidowMovie0 (talk) 17:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

I think we already have both kinds of oversight on this wiki, from google I saw https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/oversight which is revision deletion you should already be able to do the admin kind of revision deletion, there is also the suppress kind, which was done to a few entries a long time ago by MacFan4000, but for that you need to be in the suppress user group and only the stewards can assign that.

If a steward thinks you should have it, and assigns it to you, or you become a steward, then yes. Otherwise, no. Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Fast, Justarandomamerican, and BlackWidowMovie0: Thanks. Seemplez (talk) 11:29, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Fast for Steward

I'm honored by this nomination, and I'm always happy to help where I can. However, I don't have nearly the time available to meet the commitment expected of a new steward, especially as I've recently started assisting with janitorial tasks on a different wiki. As such I must politely decline this nomination, thank you. Fast - ZoomZoom (talk) 19:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

CheckUser testing

Currently, as shown in Special:ListGroupRights, it seems that only bureaucrats may use the checkuser-limited permission. This permission allows checking oneself for the purpose of testing out the tool. It may be a good idea to grant this permission to administrators as administrators is the primary for-testing group here and it should not be necessary to request bureaucratship for testing. In addition, when it is only possible to check oneself there is very little capacity for damage (checking others will still be limited to Stewards).

Opinions? Naleksuh (talk) 22:50, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Agree checkuser-limited is not really that sensitive, and certainly has less potential for damage than many of the other rights bundled with administrator. Fast - ZoomZoom (talk) 03:50, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Agree. You can only test checkuser on yourself. Making a phabricator task..... Justarandomamerican (talk) 13:59, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Justarandomamerican request for stewardship

Statement: Alright, I'm volunteering myself to the community. It may be a bit too soon, but I'm still volunteering. I'm active all the time, instantly block clear spam-only and vandalism-only accounts, and just maintain the community. I feel steward tools would be of use. I have time to make a commitment. Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:07, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Support

Support per my statement. Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:14, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Oppose

1. Unfortunately I do not see a sufficient activity for stewardship here. I opened your contributions page to sort by 500 oldest, however those selectors are not even available for you as you have under 50 edits, with your first edit being a little less than a month ago. There are currently only two stewards both of which have been here for 3+ years. While 3+ years is not a required amount of time to become a steward (I would say perhaps 6 months to a year), your account is both somewhat newly registered and not that active here as well. I also don't see any indication of what you intend to do with the steward tools etc which I would expect in a nomination statement. Naleksuh (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Comment: Although six months to a year is kind of unreasonable to me, given how small and knit-tight this community is, I understand your point. Cheers, Justarandomamerican (talk) 23:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
