The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

To request that your administrator status be removed, initiate a new section below.

Per this removal on their userpage with the summary “Feel free to remove my admin status.” AlisonW should be desysoped for this reason, regrettably. Thank you. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:44, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I hadn’t read that. ‘Crats, feel free to ignore. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 21:51, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

User:Illusion Flame, would you like me to remove this request? SilkTork (talk) 21:56, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Completely up to you. I was originally going to just let it be archived, but I am fine with removal. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 22:42, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Archiving was the idea, though done now rather than leaving it for the bot. If you're happy to leave it here until the bot archives it, then I'll leave it. SilkTork (talk) 23:09, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Yeah. That’s fine with me, I don’t see any reason it need to be removed early. Feel free to use your discretion about this. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:18, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

I have BOLDly retitled this section to something a little more inconspicious; it is probably not a great idea to title a section "AlisonW desysop" when the person in question is not being desysopped but has a currently pending arb case about their sysop status.

Interface administrator request (Novem Linguae)

Novem Linguae (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs ^{(blocks · rights · moves)} · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)^{(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te)}

Hello. I'd like to request interface administrator to facilitate my work as a maintainer of WP:TWINKLE and mw:Extension:PageTriage. Interface administrator would allow me to deploy Twinkle updates without pinging MusikAnimal, would allow me to edit pages such as MediaWiki:PageTriageExternalTagsOptions.js without having to put in an {{IAER}}, and would allow me to deploy important hotfixes such as this quickly. I am an administrator and I enabled two factor authentication today. I'm sure I will also jump in at some point and assist with interface administrator backlogs, although maybe not right away since I have a lot of projects right now. I promise to be very careful and err on the side of caution. Thank you for your consideration. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Standard 48 hour hold is in place, but I see no issues with this request. Primefac (talk) 06:04, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

• Support. I have worked with Novem Linguae for some years now and am continually impressed by his work. I somehow missed his RfA entirely (despite offering to co-nominate him) so I am delighted to show my support here. My only concern is with him taking over all Twinkle syncing duties, I won't have much to do with my int-admin rights anymore! ;) Jokes aside, Novem is a model Wikimedian and talented engineer. Interface admin is a natural fit now that he's a sysop. — MusikAnimal ^talk 15:48, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
