editHello
editHello, Koavf, and welcome to the Test Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful and Help:Contents. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read the list of wanted pages.
Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later.
If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit the Wikipedia:Village pump. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
Good luck and happy editing! โEli355 (talk) 20:16, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Male and female users
editWhy is there a distinction between male and female users on this wiki? โEli355 (talk) 15:14, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Eli355: The easiest answer is just that this is a test bed for extensions and so that is one being tested here. As to why that is being tested, I think it's just to ensure that we can have a system to say "he edits pages" versus "she edits pages" automatically. โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 17:28, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi
editI was wondering, I had seen something about partial blocks. I want to try them out. Is that ok here? Tyler de Noche (talk) 20:49, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Tyler de Noche: I don't see that option on this wiki yet. Do you know that it's deployed here? โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 21:00, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Apparently not on here, except testwikipedia and testwikidata. Tyler de Noche (talk) 21:13, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- still, can I have tools? maybe bureaucrat? Tyler de Noche (talk) 14:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- I'm a little reluctant to give bureaucrat rights to someone who has never edited here and whom I didn't know before this request. Maybe another bureaucrat knows your editing elsewhere and would feel more comfortable with this? โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 22:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Why did you need all of these rights? at once? ๐๐ค๐ฏ๐บ๐ช๐ค๐๐๐ท๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐บ๐ด๐๐๐ฐ (๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ) 17:58, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

- @1234qwer1234qwer4: I am very much wearying of this conversation and I've waited a long time for you to answer my questions or make some kind of coherent point. When I asked, "What is your point? Why are you posting here?" you answered with a question. It looks like you've never edited here before, came to my talk page to whine about something without actually making some straightforward statement, offer no particular action for me to take, and drag out this conversation. So what is the point of you posting here? What are you trying to accomplish? โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 16:02, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- My point is that unnecessary rights have no benefit, but increase the risk of being hijacked and potential damage if the account is compromised. ๐๐ค๐ฏ๐บ๐ช๐ค๐๐๐ท๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐บ๐ด๐๐๐ฐ (๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ) 18:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
editHi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you donโt miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Request
editI plan on doing some tests here that require delete and imports right, could you temporarily give me sysop? โ Ilovemydoodle (talk) 02:53, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Sure. You're a trusted user elsewhere and this is a lo-stress environment. I'll only do it for a few days, tho. โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 03:15, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Why canโt I import from meta-wiki? โ Ilovemydoodle (talk) 03:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Those are just the settings of this wiki. They are all different and someone needs server access to change them. โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 03:21, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- In the meantime, can I have (temporary) import so I can import the page(s) in need? โ Ilovemydoodle (talk) 03:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oh yes, of course. โJustin (koavf)โคTโฎCโบMโฏ 03:27, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
