Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

Archives (current)→

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

Promoting stewardVote to a gadget

User:Hoo man/stewardVote.js is loaded from MediaWiki:Common.js, so it technically is one already. Promoting it to a full-fledged gadget will help with load efficiency. Courtesy ping: @Hoo man.

The definition would look like this:

* stewardVotes[ResourceLoader|default|actions=view|categories=Steward elections 2026/votes|dependencies=mediawiki.util,jquery.ui,mediawiki.cookie,jquery.spinner,mediawiki.api,user.options|rights=editmywatchlist<!-- Logged-in users only -->]|stewardVote.js

Thoughts? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 15:10, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

The primary maintainer not being an interface administrator could be an issue. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:20, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

If this is moved as a gadget, I would be happy to help with maintenance, such as fixing bugs or implementing any requested features. – DreamRimmer ■ 14:40, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Also, most of the year this is disabled. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:44, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

As it is now, the script is always loaded for all logged-in users anyway (though only at vote pages). Controlling when to enable a gadget is as easy as removing and adding default. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 03:56, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

I tend to agree with xaosflux here. It may help with efficiency, but the maintainer isn't an interface admin. That said, though, they are a steward, and I see no reason why they wouldn't succeed in an RFIA. EggRoll97 (talk) 05:47, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
