Retirement

Since my work is neither recognised or even accepted of, and also because no one wants to give me a chance, I feel compelled to stop my work here... As system administrator, I could have done a lot of work... However, since I was already rejected there and told to become a steward first... So I wanted to do this, and?

PS: If I really wanted to harm this project, I would have done it long ago! Justman10000 (talk) 17:31, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry. Your contributions are valued. They always have been. Nobody thinks you're going to harm the project, there are just already 2 active stewards, which people think is enough. I sincerely hope you come back soon! Justarandomamerican (talk) 18:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tailsultimatefan3891's sockpuppets

Considering that Tailsultimatefan3891 has now been unblocked for a while, should I remove all of the sockpuppets from this category and have them unblocked as well? Tsukushi (talk) 06:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't see why we would unblock sockpuppets, but keeping the main unblocked seems fine. Zippybonzo (talk) 12:38, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Require 2FA for highly privileged groups

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.



I'm proposing that we should require 2FA for Interface Admin, Steward and Sysadmin group members as security precautions, as IAs can edit pages that would allow them privilege escalation, and stewards/sysadmins can give such permissions out which could cause issues if their accounts were compromised. Additionally, I think bots with admin/iadmin perms should have 2FA required as they are probably less monitored security wise. Zippybonzo (talk) 10:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

& it should probably be required for AFAs Zippybonzo (talk) 10:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
 Oppose: We haven’t had any issues with accounts with elevated permissions being compromised. If the community trusts them to hold the permissions, than they can also be trusted to make sure their account is secure. X (talk + contribs) 11:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
 Oppose: I don't see a reason to add it since the rate of accounts being compromised has been vary low --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 14:24, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
 Oppose There hasn't been a case where an account was compromised, so I don't see any reason to make 2FA mandatory The AP (talk) 16:01, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Name Change Request

Hi, can my name please be changed to Skiyomi? (to match my Wikimedia name) Thank you! Piccadilly (My Contribs | My Messages) 19:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Going to go ahead and mark this as  Not done. Renaming would cause additional confusion, especially given the extraordinary circumstances that apply to you. Additionally, you requested a rename in March saying "This will be my last rename request here." X (talk + contribs) 19:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I can understand the concern about confusion, and I do accept this decision. But what "extraordinary circumstances" do you mean? Piccadilly (My Contribs | My Messages) 20:20, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Your history as an LTA and no warning (straight block) upon abuse. X (talk + contribs) 22:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Delegated rights and the inactivity policy

Currently, for rights that are very high trust and delegated from Stewards or the community (such as NSS and AFA), those rights can be re-requested at any time. I would propose removing that clause, but I would like to hear the ideas of others: What should happen if a person holding one of those rights loses them due to inactivity and then re-requests them? Justarandomamerican (talk) 14:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Discussion

I  Support the removal of this clause from the inactivity policy. I believe that an inactivity removal should be treated as a normal removal and hence require another community vote to regain their position. VancityRothaug (talk) 15:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Oppose, if the user already got approval to get those rights in the first place, why over-complicate things just because of inactivity? If someone has a concern, they can just share it when the user re-requests the rights. There may be some exceptions but I'd otherwise support keeping that in.
