Steward requests/Miscellaneous
← Requests and proposals | Steward requests (Miscellaneous) | Archives→ |
This page is for Wikimedia wikis having no active administrators. Requests can be made here for specific administrative actions (such as page deletion) to be performed by a steward or global sysop. In other cases:
To add a new request, create a new section header at the bottom of the "Manual requests" section using the format below: === Very brief description of request here === {{Status|In progress}} Give details about your request here. --~~~~ It is helpful if you can provide a link to the wiki (or the specific page on the wiki) in question, either in the header or in the body of your request. When reporting cross-wiki vandalism, the following template calls can be used to link to a user's contributions across all Wikimedia content wikis (these are for logged in users and non-logged-in users, respectively):
Template {{LockHide}} can also be used in appropriate cases. To request approval of OAuth consumers please use Old requests are archived by the date of their last comment. |

kmwiktionary: collapsible boxes to work on mobile[edit]
Please add the following scripts in Mediawiki namespace: navframe.js, common.js, common.css, mobile.css. Please also change the namespace and its talk page to translated one: "Wiktionary" → "វិគីនានុក្រម". Thank you. — RalvahKaset (talk) 06:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- @RalvahKaset, for the latter one you have to follow Requesting wiki configuration changes, it is not changed with an on wiki edit. --Base (talk) 00:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- I see, thank you. So I'd like to retain the former request only. RalvahKaset (talk) 02:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Russian propaganda in Russian Wikibooks[edit]
Hi! There is a page Interesting social studies/Special military operation in Ukraine in Russian Wikibooks. It was nominated to deletion, because it is full of Russian propaganda, such as "The purpose of the operation is to liberate from the nationalists primarily the industrial regions of the East of Ukraine" ("Целью операции является освобождение от националистов прежде всего промышленных районов Востока Украины"), see AfD. Unfortunately, the administrator said "Due to the complexity and obvious conflictness and possible danger, I find it difficult to close it" ("в связи со сложностью и явной конфликтностью и возможной опасностью я затрудняюсь подвести итог") and recommended as a possibility to "Take the issue to the level of the Wikimedia Foundation and leave the problem to those who have enough authority to make such decisions, primarily the stewards" ("Вынести вопрос на уровень Фонда Викимедиа и предоставить решать проблему тем, у кого достаточно полномочий принимать такие решения, в первую очередь стюардов"). Could you take a look? --Wikisaurus (talk) 00:04, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don't believe this requires, or would benefit from, steward action. The local discussion isn't exactly conclusive, and I understand it very likely can't be for safety reasons, but...this is fundamentally a local decision. Without local consensus, there is no basis for global action.
- And, from my perspective, this isn't worth the trouble of seeking global action. As noted in the discussion, there is the good point that few to no people will read it this, and that it may (hopefully) be easier in the future to safely discuss its inclusion in the Russian Wikibooks. I understand that there are neutrality policies, but maybe some sort of compromise can be reached, perhaps to add a note designating it as the personal perspective of the author rather than a neutral textbook-style piece.

Deletion of Malagasy articles, that I had made[edit]
Hello. In January 2017, I had made 783 articles in Malagasy Wikipedia. I did it from mistake, because then I was twelve years old and was believing that I was helping, but actually this wasn't helpful at all, basically a childhood mistake. In Ah3kal had requested the removal of these in behalf of me, and Vituzzu removed 567 of these pages. I have of course, since then understood how wrong was this, have matured very much since then, and because few native speakers exist in the project, I think that these pages should be removed. As it was a childhood mistake and I understood how bad was this, there's no need for action against me. I have improved heavily since then.
I would kindly ask that Asabotsy, Ozbekistana are exempt from the deletion and be kept, because native speakers have improved the pages and thus there are no longer machine translation problems on these two articles. Thank you.

- @NikosLikomitros these are themgwiki articles, that you created, where you are the latest contributor. Are you saying that every one of these pages is useless? — xaosflux Talk 15:32, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux Basically, I mean that although I made them, they were with machine translation (and I deeply regret it), and thus I think that except the fixed pages it's better to be written again by someone who knows the language. NikosLikomitros (talk) 13:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

OAuth permissions[edit]

Preferably permission requests should be submitted using the form from Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration.
After submitting this form, you will receive a token that your application will use to identify itself to MediaWiki. An OAuth administrator will need to approve your application before it can be authorized by other users. It is possible to request approval using {{oauthapprequest}}, please create a sub-section to this part. A few recommendations and remarks:
