NDKilla Mass topicy thing
I'll try to bullet all my separate topics.. Thanks! NDKilla (talk) 15:23, 4 April 2015 (BST) PS:
 * First off I created Template:Pre style on my wiki as I like using it but wasn't sure if I should create it on here.
 * Probably no point in importing it unless someone has a need for it on meta :)  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * I see you noticed I created CheckUser. Is there an interwiki link to the login wiki? A wikilink to login:Special:ListUsers/checkuser would be cool, but an external link could be placed too.
 * Generally people that can checkuser will not have the user right, its probably best just to point to the list of stewards!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * I'm a little confused as to what you mean by this part.. NDKilla (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * I mean that once someone has checkusered a user they will then remove the checkuser flag from their account.  ·addshore·  talk to me! 21:55, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Otherwise, that page look okay? I was thinking that the MW pages (1, 2, and 3) could all be set appropriately to prevent checkuser's from being redlinked on user right pages, but I'm 99% sure I don't have permission to edit the MW namespace. Assuming global sysops do, it's something I'd be interested in but of course realize this is more far off :P still waiting for a message back from Dusti, he acknowledged me tho so I'm being patient.
 * As for all the technical stuff.. well, I have 2 Apache servers and MediaWiki on a local computer, and I had some questions about wiki farms. (I'm by no means looking to replace Orain, I'm just trying to figure out the technical side of stuff, and then I might be able to help here in other ways.) Hope to talk to you on IRC about this sometime...
 * I am planning on writing a blog post some time soon (maybe even today) about how orain works / how we are currently running it. I guess this will be helpfull! :) Otherwise just catch me on IRC, or even Southparkfan, and we can probably help you!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Cool, hope to see this later. NDKilla (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * blog post  ·addshore·  talk to me! 11:13, 5 April 2015 (BST)
 * Requests for OS and CU could be easily placed on Stewards' noticeboard (which you already moved) but I think that pages describing the tools should still exist. Would it be okay if I edited OS to include information on the tool, and do what I did with CheckUser? NDKilla (talk) 15:27, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Yeh the pages should probably still exist, feel free to change whatever you think needs to be changed and I can review it as you go :)  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Will work on OverSight later. NDKilla (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Propose moving Bots to Bots over the redirect, since none of the other Meta pages are in the Meta: namespace. (IE: CU OS Administrators are all in mainspace.) NDKilla (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Sounds good to me!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Moving this now, NDKilla (talk) 20:23, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Not a big deal and I think only Dusti might be able to do it, but on Identification log propose editing the first line so that it actually links to the CheckUser page and (per above, if I create it) the Oversight page. NDKilla (talk) 16:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Will do!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * Assuming SPF didn't completely handle it, Stewards' noticeboard NDKilla (talk) 18:13, 4 April 2015 (BST)
 * ✅  ·addshore·  talk to me! 19:30, 4 April 2015 (BST)

Proposals for new wikis/Archive
Hello / bonhour ! Just a detail of chronology : the proposals between 24 July and 25 August 2014 are archived in the page Proposals for new wikis/Archive 2 and not at the end of Proposals for new wikis/Archive 3. Is it deliberate? Penkroff (talk) 01:01, 16 April 2015 (BST)
 * This was not deliberate! I probably made the mistake as only the first and second archives are listed in the heading of the page! I will aim to fix this soon! :) Thanks for pointing it out!  ·addshore·  talk to me! 08:55, 16 April 2015 (BST)

Protections/restrictions
Looking at the ansible playbook, I see the code: // Restrictions '+wgRestrictionLevels' => array( 		'default' => array( 'user', 'steward' ), 		'+metawiki' => array( 'createwiki' ), 	), 	'+wgRestrictionTypes' => array( 		'default' => array( 'delete' ), 	), 	'$wgRestrictDisplayTitle' => array( 		'default' => true, 		'portalwiki' => false, 	), // /Restrictions

This code looks firmilar, and I was wondering if this is what I think it is. I would like to create (on a test wiki i have full access to) a kind of super-protection (see WP's superprotect) that allows only my steward/sheriff groups to edit the pages. I'd also make it impossible for these super-protected pages to be deleted by sysops. NDKilla (talk) 06:16, 17 April 2015 (BST)
