Steward elections

Hey fellows! There are soon Steward elections on meta. If there is someone who always wanted to become a steward and fulfils the criteria then feel free to nominate yourself. Nominations can be submitted between 15st January and 28th January. We need more helping hands. If someone has questions what it means to be a steward, we have many people locally who can answer this question. Maybe someone from our community decides to run for this position. Best, -Barras (talk) 16:31, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Open proxy

I can't find an AIV page on this wiki anywhere so I'll just post it here: 213.159.241.41 (talk · changes) is an open proxy and requires a block. Thank you, -Orashmatash (talk) 21:15, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Blocked.--Brett (talk) 13:48, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Rename

Hi! I'd appreciate it if a passing bureaucrat could rename me to Mh7kJ. I'm renaming globally. Confirmation: here. Thanks! -Orashmatash (talk) 17:32, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

The user "Orashmatash" has been renamed to "Mh7kJ". -Barras talk 22:56, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

JAnDbot

This global bot will update interwiki links in articles and categories, usually starting from cs.wikt or some small project. It can do some other bot's tasks (replacing etc.) too, if you will want. JAn Dudík (talk) 05:47, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Do you need/want a local bot flag or are you planning to get a global flag? -Barras talk 06:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I just looked at it and flagged it. Interwiki bot with long and good history. -Barras talk 12:11, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Rollback request

I would like to request rollback. I am currently a rollback on En.wikipedia. Thank you very much. Riley Huntley (talk) 04:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Moved to the correct area, sorry. Riley Huntley (talk) 04:43, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Vanish request

Can someone to rename User:Gmcfoley and delete the talk page? The user wants to vanish. Ruslik0 (talk) 07:12, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your request. The reason why the deletion is delayed is due to the policy on courtesy vanishing not allowing the user talk page to be deleted, unless there is community consensus to do so. I would complete the request if I could, but I would need a bureaucrat to assist. --Hydriz (talk) 07:15, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Done, log entry deleted. -Barras talk 09:05, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Edit → Change

Hello, could someone please go through these messages, changing edit to change where possible? Thanks.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  00:39, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

...as well as MediaWiki:Cantrollback and MediaWiki:Tog-hideminor.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  23:54, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Done, I think. -Barras talk 13:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Edithelp as well please. Thanks.  Hazard-SJ  ✈  17:16, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Curious - that page is blue-linked but has not existed since 2007. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:38, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

It is blue because it is a default message (translated on translatewiki.net). MediaWiki pages which are not specified locally or default are red-linked, however. (Example: MediaWiki:Foobarbazqux). You should create MediaWiki:Edithelp with content "Changing help" (or whatever). πr² (talk • changes) 05:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Is any local admin going to do this request? It has already been done on Wikipedia. Seems uncontroversial. πr² (talk • changes) 17:43, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

User:Pawel112pawel112 → User:Pawel112

I'm changing my username globally to "Pawel112". Thanks. Pawel112pawel112 (talk) 23:02, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Moved from Requests for rollback. πr² (talk • changes) 21:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

• Done -Barras talk 14:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Alan.lorenzo → Alan

Hi!! I like to change my username User:Alan.lorenzo to User:Alan. Target username without SUL, inactive and 0 edits here, usurp please. I don't want to show my surname after the French case. (Confirmation link on my home wiki) Thanks in advance. --Alan.lorenzo (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Usurped & renamed. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:33, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Unattended requests

Hi. There are currently two unattended requests at Wiktionary:Requests for permissions#Requests for rollback. Regards. LlamaAl (talk) 02:34, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

I've taken care of them, thanks for bringing it to my attention. There aren't a lot of active admins here anymore, so requests take a while before being processed. Tempodivalse [talk] 22:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for taking an interest in this project. The wiki has been inactive for a while now, and we need new users to help revive the project. πr² (talk • changes) 04:42, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
