Congratulations, Dear Steward!

Hello MBisanz! On behalf of the stewards' election committee, congratulations on your appointment as a steward! Your permissions have now been set and you are able to start the work.

You have been added to the list of stewards and the stewards' chart. Please take a moment to check that your details are accurate and update them if necessary. In addition, please subscribe to checkuser-l, the private mailing list for Wikimedia checkusers, and stewards-l, the private list for stewards. In addition, you will be given access to the related private wikis, one for checkusers and the other solely for stewards, details of which will be provided.

If you use IRC, please contact an operator for access to #wikimedia-checkuser and #wikimedia-privacy. Please also idle in #wikimedia-stewards when you are available for duty.

Best of luck with your new tools; I am sure you will do a fantastic job. Please remember that your fellow stewards are always available if you need a second opinion, either via the mailing list or on IRC.

Wikimania Pages

The following wikimania pages need changes, and only Meta Stewards can edit old wikimania projects:

• [history·localspace·local admins | listadmins | delete] wikimania2010.wikimedia: MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer

• The following lines (lines 5 - 6)

-->Edit counters: [//toolserver.org/~vvv/yaec.php?user={{urlencode:$1}}&wiki=wikimania2010wiki_p vvv's tool] · [//toolserver.org/~tparis/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:$1}}&lang=wikimania2010&wiki=wikimedia X!'s tool] · <!--
-->[//toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=wikimania2010.wikimedia.org&format=html&img_user_text={{urlencode:$1}}&order=-img_timestamp Uploaded images] · </span><!--

should be replaced with

-->Edit counters: [//toolserver.org/~vvv/yaec.php?user={{urlencode:$1}}&wiki=wikimania2010wiki_p vvv's tool] · [//toolserver.org/~tparis/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:$1}}&lang=wikimania2010&wiki=wikimedia X!'s tool] · </span><!--

because this tool doesn't work for the wikimania projects.

• [history·localspace·local admins | listadmins | delete] wikimania2010.wikimedia: MediaWiki talk:Sp-contributions-footer

• This test page should be deleted.

• [history·localspace·local admins | listadmins | delete] wikimania2011.wikimedia: MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer

• The following lines (lines 5 - 6)

-->Edit counters: [//toolserver.org/~vvv/yaec.php?user={{urlencode:$1}}&wiki=wikimania2010wiki_p vvv's tool] · [//toolserver.org/~tparis/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:$1}}&lang=wikimania2010&wiki=wikimedia X!'s tool] · <!--
-->[//toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=wikimania2010.wikimedia.org&format=html&img_user_text={{urlencode:$1}}&order=-img_timestamp Uploaded images] · </span><!--

should be replaced with

-->Edit counters: [//toolserver.org/~vvv/yaec.php?user={{urlencode:$1}}&wiki=wikimania2011wiki_p vvv's tool] · [//toolserver.org/~tparis/count/index.php?name={{urlencode:$1}}&lang=wikimania2011&wiki=wikimedia X!'s tool] · </span><!--

because this tool doesn't work for the wikimania projects and 2010 needs to be 2011.

Thanks and congrats on stewardship! -- SLV100 (talk) 07:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I see this and I'll get to it this afternoon. Thanks for the congrats. MBisanz ^talk 14:41, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Done, but I couldn't delete the page, so I blanked it. MBisanz ^talk 18:41, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Please check this proposal. Regards a×p_de^Hello! 21:19, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! -- SLV100 (talk) 05:32, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I was only able to do the 2008 and 2009 requests as I do not have accounts on the other projects and even stewards are unable to create accounts on locked projects. I've emailed the list asking for advice. MBisanz ^talk 00:05, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I have two ideas:

• One is a semi-solution:

We can ask User:Pathoschild, a steward that has accounts at Wikimania 2006 and Wikimania 2007, to fulfill the Wikimania 2006 and Wikimania 2007 requests.

• The other one is a little radical, but it is a solution:

None of the registered users at Wikimania 2005 are stewards, but two are responsible former stewards, User:Oscar and User:Sj, that also have accounts at Wikimania 2006 and Wikimania 2007, and both had their steward right removed by self-request (see Oscar's request and Sj's request). You can ask one of them if he is willing to fulfill the remaining Wikimania requests if you temporarily grant him the steward right.

Thanks for fulfilling the previous requests! -- SLV100 (talk) 03:18, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Those are good ideas, but after talking to the other stewards, we've decided that these old, closed wikis are worth updating for this sort of thing as they are meant to be archival and will not continue to be updated for other out of date information. MBisanz ^talk 14:27, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Username change

Hello, Previously I had my username Ramajois and changed it to Shriram. I had contributed to kn.wikipedia.org with username Ramajois. But due to visiting that wiki, account with my new username Shriram was created. There are no burecrats in knwiki. I'm asking you here because I dont know where to place 'this' kind of request! Can you rename Ramajois → Shriram please? I have placed a req in meta wiki for other merging other wikis. But this actually needs to be renamed for getting my contributions back right? If you want I can confirm with a talk page edit in knwiki. Thank you. Shriram (talk) 14:55, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, if you can confirm with a talk page edit on kn.wiki, I would be able to do the rename. MBisanz ^talk 15:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I got confused which to confirm. So I've done both. diff1 and 2. Please change Ramajois → Shriram

Shriram (talk) 16:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

 Done MBisanz ^talk 16:58, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Shriram (talk) 17:03, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks an those renames but I could not find crats for mrwp here.Shriram (talk) 17:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Try leaving a note on here or here. They are the local, active, crats. MBisanz ^talk 17:27, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again. Shriram (talk) 12:08, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

VKH

Hi,

I'm using Bobybarman34 and I want to change it for VKH. Please, help me. --Bobybarman34 (talk) 16:24, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I did the change on en.wiki and can't do the other change here. Try logging into VKH on en.wiki. MBisanz ^talk 07:13, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Why?

Dear MBisanz, Please clarify why you have removed my request after approving it? Thank you. Jargal (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I moved it to Steward_requests/Permissions/Approved_temporary#Expiring:_15_November_2012 so we can track it. Sorry for the confusion. MBisanz ^talk 15:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
