gudn tach! (Hi!)
I'm admin at w:de and (partly) admin at w:en. I've been admin here since 2008 (first a temp admin, after that a regular one, see Meta:Requests_for_adminship/lustiger_seth and Meta:Requests_for_adminship/lustiger_seth2). Because of rules I didn't make, I got my rights removed for not editing enough per time.
In fact, I won't be here often in future, maybe just a few times per year. However, the major time here at meta I spent and will spend at the spam-blacklist pages. My edits, although they occur selden, were helpful to the projects, and I'd would like to continue with that work, so it would be great to be admin here again. :-)

Support Thanks for volunteering. My only concern is that the inactivity process will continue to try to remove you if you make less than 10 edits (or log actions) every six months. Do you think you could maintain that activity level? Ajraddatz (talk) 16:11, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: How about becoming interface editor instead? whym (talk) 16:46, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea; it should give him all the access he requires, though for policy reasons being an admin might be better. Ajraddatz (talk) 16:48, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that is a good idea as the interface editor right is a global one and the user obviously merely needs access to protected pages on metawiki. Adding Lustiger seth under that rationale to this global user group would be far out of the global right's scope. Regards, Vogone (talk) 17:04, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the intended scope is metawiki's blacklist only, I agree interface editor rights are unjustified. The right question would be: @Lustiger seth: You seem to have worked on the blacklist here, dewiki and enwiki. Do you want to expand your work to other wikis by becoming a global interface editor? whym (talk) 00:14, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that editing projects' blacklists is within the scope of interface editors, as they are entitled to only "maintain templates and the site's JavaScript (*.js) and Cascading Style Sheets (*.css) resources". LlamaAl (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Maybe it would be advisable to proceed here like in the case of Dschwen who got limited adminship assigned which doesn't fall under the inactivity policy and was granted for the sole purpose to edit MediaWiki:Wikiminiatlas.js. This could be done here as well, but limited to the blacklists instead of the Wikiminiatlas.js. Regards, Vogone (talk) 19:44, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Why not? I feel this user is trustworthy and capable of completing admin tasks here on meta. Just try to stay active. Akifumii (talk) 22:20, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
