Request for confirmed access on Meta

I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but it seemed like Steward requests/Permissions doesn't apply to rights on Meta. I'm hoping to get Confirmed access on Meta. I'm not very active here, but I do anti-vandalism work on the English Wikipedia, which sometimes involves dealing with LTAs who typically get global locks on their sockpuppet accounts. Because of this, I would like to be able to submit reports at Steward requests/Global. On the English Wikipedia I am an extended confirmed user with pending changes reviewer and rollback rights.

Attempted move

I tried to move User:EthanGaming7640/ubx/Miraheze to User:EthanGaming7640/Miraheze userbox. Can the filter be fixed? Or will I have to manually move it, or will somebody have to move it for me? EthanGaming7640 16:46, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

According to filter 161's rules, this move was caught for having moved_from_namespace equal to 2 while page_namespace and page_title are null values. (page_namespace + moved_from_namespace) == 2 & !('/' in page_title) therefore returns true. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 20:42, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@EthanGaming7640 could you try again, I think there was a syntax error in filter 161. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:10, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

I have moved useful technical documentation from Help:Redirect to MediaWiki.org, but I think remaining parts are useful because it deals with community usages. Can a sysop moves Help:Redirect to Redirect (removing namespace), please? I will then recreate Help page with {{MovedToMediaWiki}}. -- Pols12 (talk) 17:16, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Why can't it stay where it is? It already has a reference to mediawikiwiki at the top. --MF-W 19:52, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

I was just looking at Help:Navigational template, and I have become unsure too. My reasoning was: this is not a help page, but a presentation page. However, if we move all help pages to MW.org, the Help namespace will be useless. I need more time to think about this. 😄 Meanwhile, that page can stay in Help namespace, no problem (and sorry for too quick request). -- Pols12 (talk) 21:56, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

The Meta-Wiki help namespace is entirely a historical artifact and should become useless. (But remember that the MediaWiki.org help namespace is public domain whereas the Meta help namespace is CC BY-SA) * Pppery * _{it has begun} 22:43, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Alternatively, maybe, it makes sense to just rename the page by moving it into the mainspace (leaving a redirect)? MF-W 00:08, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Sound logo FAQ

Hello,

In order to restore translations of Communications/Sound Logo/FAQ, I would like an admin follow this process:

1. Delete Communications/Sound Logo/FAQ redirection.
2. Move Communications/Sound Logo to Communications/Sound Logo/FAQ (needs translation admin rights), without subpage, without talk page (you need to uncheck both checkboxes). This may take a while.
3. Recreate Communications/Sound Logo copying its last content from new location (/FAQ).
4. Replace new /FAQ page with /FAQ/backup content (just copy-paste the wikitext).
5. Delete Communications/Sound Logo/FAQ/backup.

-- Pols12 (talk) 23:36, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Pols12: is this still needed or was it solved by recent edits made by User:MPourzaki (WMF)? --MF-W 23:41, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

This is now even worse since redirection from FAQ to backup has been reversed by a copy-paste instead of a page moving.

More we are waiting to apply this process, more we are likely to make translors spent useless time to translate twice the same content.

I would really appreciate your help @MF-Warburg (or @DannyS712, or other admin). -- Pols12 (talk) 11:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Only part of the old Communications/Sound Logo page needs to be moved to the FAQ page (the FAQ parts). It's not possible to selectively move parts of a page and its translations, as far as I'm aware. The fix here would be to move the relevant translation subpages (not all of those, just the ones that relate to the FAQ) to the new location and match up the translation numbers with the page's text, no? Vermont 🐿️ (talk) 12:42, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I’m not sure this selective move is technically possible. It would not be really useful, since new FAQ kept 62 units from previous page, versus only 4 units for home page. That why I wanted to apply a real move instead of a copy paste: most of the page has actually been moved through a copy-paste.

However, the FAQ has just been fully rephrased. I am trying to restore units marker where it is still possible then I come back here to say if it is still worth restoring translations. -- Pols12 (talk) 17:38, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I have achieved to identify 34 units. Most of them have been significantly rephrased, but I still think this would be valuable to restore translations.

So still open request. Ping @MF-Warburg, @Vermont, @Martin Urbanec for help (sorry for the noise). 🙂 -- Pols12 (talk) 18:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi all apologies for the confusion and any extra work or frustration for any of you. In the process of making the pages more concise and creating subpages for greater accessibility, we caused a hot mess. Really sorry. Pols12, thanks for the initial ping. We won't mark any pages for translation until the content is fully settled and if we copy+paste or move things around, we'll match up the translation markers where possible. MPourzaki (WMF) (talk) 19:54, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Pols12: sorry I'm slow. Is the list of steps you listed in your initial comment still the one to follow? --MF-W 22:54, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you MF-Warburg. Yes, it is still up to date, except for the first step which must now be:

1. Delete Communications/Sound Logo/FAQ/backup; then permanently move FAQ to /backup (don’t keep the redirect, or delete it after move).

Note there is now some units (75–88,97–99) which should be kept in current step, but I will restore them manually after the move. I will also prepare and mark the FAQ page for translation (it will temporarily display as broken).

-- Pols12 (talk) 17:42, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

User:Pols12: I got as far as trying to do step 2. Unfortunately, on 24 April the page "Communications/Sound Logo" was not yet a translatable one, which it now is. I can't move it as there is an error message about too many subpages, and that a sysadmin should do it via a maintenance script. - By the way, I also deleted Communications/Sound Logo/FAQ/backup/ko, thinking that was necessary for being able to delete the old "backup" page, I hope that didn't get rid of valuable translations. -- MF-W 20:33, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

😢 Too late… Yes, it was (that’s why I writed TA right was needed); but it had indeed less than 500 related pages to move.

I don’t know what the backup/ko page could contain, I didn’t notice the page was marked for translation.

Never mind, I will restore translations manually. Thank you for your work. -- Pols12 (talk) 20:48, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I mean, a sysadmin shouldn't be that difficult to come by - if it is worthwhile? -- MF-W 21:36, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Given the pain we had here, I prefer to manually restore translations rather than waiting for sysadmin review and action. I have already restored Korean and French translations. -- Pols12 (talk) 23:17, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I have restored what I could. So, closing this. --Pols12 (talk) 20:52, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

@Windblown29 Hello. I mean a full message that you will send and a MMS list that is created. For example you might want to refer to this. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

I am using this list and will use this draft message and similar messages moving forward. Windblown29 (talk) 23:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

@Windblown29 Done for 6 months. Do re-request if you need extension beyond. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:59, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
