Anyone caring about Category:Deletion requests?
Hello. Since your decision to deprive volunteers of admin rights on this site there's 1,000+ deletion requests stagnated at Category:Deletion requests. Please have a look at those or allow again users to hold administrator rights again for maintenance purposes. Thanks. --MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:14, 12 July 2016 (UTC) (ping to @MZMcBride so he can advice if this is the appropriate place)
Broken redirects

How to request editor rights
The account policy states that only staff, GS and stewards gain the editor rights? But how can normal users request that? Thingofme (talk) 08:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Thingofme: According to Wikimedia:Accounts policy, editor permissions are only given to approved staff or contractors for work-related purposes. Regards, - MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:17, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- Does GS hold the editor rights or this wiki separate Global sysops (volunteers) and local sysop (staff) about editing of this wiki? Thingofme (talk) 01:41, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Please change the last line to "Stewards and global sysops have administrator rights on this wiki for the purpose of anti-vandalism and they may not use administrative tools for controversial purposes." Thingofme (talk) 12:25, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Spamming user
Special:Contribs/Kemdanangdactriveda has spammed a certain talk page and their userpage with phone numbers, etc. I tagged one for speedy deletion, but couldn't tag the userpage as abuse filter disallowed me. Someone please fix this. All of their edits to enwiki and commons are already reverted. Thank you. CX Zoom (talk) 12:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know if anyone even watches this page. So pinging you @GVarnum-WMF as you're an admin and I saw you edit today in Special:RecentChanges. Thanks! CX Zoom (talk) 12:08, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information globally banned and vandalism I believe cleaned up (thanks to your help). Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 01:27, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Capitalization in Legal Fees Assistance Program
Hi there! Legal Fees Assistance Program mentions "Checkuser", but it should be changed to "CheckUser" per the page the program links to. Thanks! EpicPupper (talk) 17:38, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Done Thanks. :) Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:22, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Can someone help me? I want to translate this resolution page into Vietnamese. Thanks! Tryvix1509 (talk) 14:16, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- CC @Quiddity (WMF): can you help me? Tryvix1509 (talk) 14:01, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Tryvix1509 - I've asked the people responsible for this site to take a look at your question. Unfortunately, there is not solution that is both easy and good, at this instant.
- Context: If I understand correctly, the current system at Resolution:Licensing policy is using the very old (outdated and non-ideal) method of: "manually create a subpage, and add a link for that in the top-navigation-box". That means that the translations can easily get outdated.
- Instead, (if I understand correctly) the entire page (and all of the existing translations, and then any new translations) ought to be migrated into the mw:Extension:Translate system (which is used for most documentation pages on Meta-wiki/Mediawiki-wiki/Commons/Wikidata). I am not certain what the best short-term solution is, hence I have asked for the other people to take a look.
- I hope that information helps. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 23:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Tryvix1509: The Resolution:Licensing policy page is now setup for translation on the local translation system and translations from Meta-Wiki have been imported. Thank you for your help! Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 10:21, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
