Hello, I wish to get temporary adminship so I can update the links to luxo's tool under Mediawiki:Sp-contributions-footer. It looks like the main version is updated, but a couple of translations haven't been updated yet. I've already updated the links for commons, wikidata, and the test wiki.

- For how long would you need the right actually? I think there is probably not only luxo's tool that needs to be replaced, but also things like sulutil etc. Moreover, I guess that's currently a rather global problem since toolserver stopped. Other wikis may need to be updated as well. Did you thought about applying for global edit interface right to do this task globally? (Only if you'd like to do that...) -Barras talk 16:05, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I've have no problem with doing it globally, it has to be done sometime. If there is any other links to be replaced I can happily do them. It will just need some coordination (what tool have been replaced etc.) In the interim through I need Meta adminship, until I apply for global interface editor, which I probably do soon.

- Toolserver will remain indefinitely to host redirects to toollabs. PiRSquared17 (talk) 19:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That's just a stopgap measure. The links should go directly to the tools themselves in case the plug is pulled for whatever reason. Techman224Talk 19:26, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- I just updated the links (there are just a Japanese and a German subpage anyway, the German one was already updated; I also updated the Japanese version of sp-contributions-footer-anon), so this shouldn't be necessary anymore. --MF-W 21:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- There's also Template:Unblock tools, which is protected. Techman224Talk 22:35, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. Btw we have {{editprotected}}. --MF-W 22:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Well, is the temp adminship still needed then? -Barras talk 10:13, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess not, I haven't found anything else on this wiki. I withdraw. Techman224Talk 16:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
