MacFan4000 (translationadmin)
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: translationadmin Reason: (Following https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/pull/1673#issuecomment-328136211 ) I have been doing plenty with translations (including the fact that I have translationadmin rights on mw.org. It would be nice if I could mark pages for translation. I am experienced with translation markup. MacFan4000 (talk) 16:10, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Support

 * 1)  Since this is a more specific request, and I see that you know how translations work, this would be a good idea. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 05:17, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 2)  Not that you don't have them, but I don't think there's much need for qualifications here. --  Void  Whispers 18:57, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 3)  Just making a fuss about all of this. I have rethought about this and even though the rank isn't a priority it still would be helpful to have it. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  20:27, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

 * My Github comment: I don't know if MacFan4000 is still pushing for this and I am kind of in the middle of it. On one hand, Reception is one of the best sysops for merging pull requests and doing all that kind of things (approving translations). On the other hand we all have to sleep (even Reception!) and thus the community goes slightly quiet. I find that changes made from 12AM GMT and 6AM GMT take the longest to be approved as most people are either in bed (there're exceptions of course). So, yes there is a need in times for a translation admin, however, I do not think that delays are large enough to cause much disruption. I aren't opposing this request I just don't think there is a huge need for such a position at this moment in time, thus I will abstain from this vote. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  11:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

MacFan4000 (sysop)
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: I have been active for about 2 months now. I am currently a wiki creator and am autopatrolled. I have done some translation work here and plan to do more, but haven't done it yet because it would be tedious to do it without the pagetranslation permission. I have marked pretty much anything I see that doesn't belong here for deletion. I currently run my own mediawiki server, so I am experienced with the permissions. I hope to make meta a better place.

 * 1)  I support. Good work. -- Hersitede (talk) 17:38, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 2)  Unfortunately, my comments on the request you made a month and a half ago still stand. I still believe that sometimes you tend to take rash decisions, which would not be a good thing in an administrator role. The translation part should not be a reason to request sysop, if you need that you can request translation administrator, and if supported the permission can be created. There are currently 5 Meta sysops, and any deletions/protections/etc. have been done quickly, so I don't see a need for an extra person currently. Also, running a MediaWiki server is also different to being a wiki administrator. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 17:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I learn as I go basically. I eventually get better and better. At least 2 or 3 of the current sysops are not very active right now. I run the server and I have sysop rights on the wiki itself. MacFan4000 (talk) 18:43, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 1)  I have not dealt with you until this morning, when you reached into my userspace and deleted Category:Miraheze help from my working copy of FAQ.  (The evidence is gone, and the problem is gone too, as the page is deleted and NDKilla installed most of my edits in the real copy.)  This suggests a zeal to clean up the wiki rather than figure out exactly what is going on (or ask me).  Based on my work at Wikia Uncyclopedia dealing with newbies whose eagerness to acquire power to do a job overtakes the need for the job to be done (and who rebut each ballot cast), I'll support Reception123.   00:48 20-Oct-2017
 * For the record, he removed the category so that a draft page wouldn't be used in a category for help pages. I noticed this and understood the point and that's why I re-added it when I put the edits into FAQ. Wasn't upset with MacFan4000. -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 13:56, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  user is not active here. MacFan4000 (talk) 20:06, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 2)  Per Above. —Alvaro Molina  (✉  - ✔ ) 23:39, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 3)  I believe this request is silly and is simply caused by a lust for power. Meta sysops are administrators on the most important wiki on Miraheze and should be trusted and active on Meta. As Joaquinito01 is not active I oppose this proposal. &#32;  Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  10:23, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 4)  Per above. Videojeux4 (talk) 17:55, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

DrewBiebs (sysop)
User: DrewBiebs ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: To help in what you can most: create wikis, be on the lookout for any edition, among other things. I would like to be a volunteer, because I think, well, I know I can help in different things, maybe I do not know everything, it's clear, and I may have failures, but that would be voluntary, right? I will do my best. And, there's a lot I can help with, right? I hope to be at the level if they accept me. I have been using wikis here for more than a year because it considers that Miraheze is the most reliable, it has been growing a lot, the truth is, when I knew this, only 150 wikis had been created! It's a crazy.
 * 1)  You have not made edits that demonstrate the need for administrator permission in Meta. The user just came back to edit a few days ago. —Alvaro Molina  (✉  - ✔ ) 21:42, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * 2)  per above. MacFan4000 Talk Contribs 22:06, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Revibot (Bot (Additional task))
User: Revibot ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Bot (Additional task) Reason: Revibot is authorized to do Autoarchive, but I would like to seek an authorization to do general housekeeping like cleaning up Special:BrokenRedirects, Special:DoubleRedirects, subst'ing subst-only templates, etc etc.

Additional comments: Note to closer: Remember to put the discussion closed template below the  part. Autoarchive can't/won't support the closing mark above. And both special pages are empty, for now.&mdash; revi  09:37, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  Experienced user. No concerns. —Alvaro Molina (✉</b> -  ✔ ) 16:16, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * 2) No concerns here either.  However, Revi has asked me to stop using a SUBST:nosubst signature template for technical reasons, and I pushed back, as it is a widespread way to achieve personalization, notably also on Wikipedia where it is supposedly prohibited.  I would not want this request, plus the statement above of how he intends to use the 'bot, interpreted as permission for the 'bot to modify my signatures.   16:33 9-Dec-2017
 * For clarification, I do not intend to subst your sign, unless you say yes, or the community has a policy on sign prohibiting it. &mdash; revi</tt>  16:48, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * 1)  Automatic maintenance is something that would be nice. Reception123  (talk) (<font color="#FF0000">'C' ) 16:45, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
