Wiki creator
I've come back because Arcane says that the sysadmins are active again, and so I am willing to continue helping. I would like to be a wiki creator so that I can decrease the latency with wiki creation. With enough trusted creators, we could possibly cut latency down to only an hour. This is very important for getting people to join. Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 14:42, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * I'm not against the idea of this really. I'd like either User:Southparkfan or User:Revi to chime in quickly however before I make my decision as a sysadmin. But so far; I'm going to say yes. John (talk) 14:48, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * You just returned an hour ago - and as you were active in a period I wasn't, I don't know you. Besides that, I've got one question for you: are you familiar with Orain's ansible-playbook (on GitHub) and do you know how to edit it? Southparkfan (talk) 14:56, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * On the topic of questions actually;
 * 1) Do you use IRC? If so; could you please join #orain on freenode?
 * 2) Do you know the best ways to contact the system administrators in case of a technical failure/emergency?
 * The above won't decide whether you get anything or not. They are purely informational for me. John (talk) 15:00, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * I would like to see more activities from you (such as commenting on new wiki requests, etc). (I would like to repeat Southparkfan's question.) &mdash; ReviComplaint?  15:13, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * The playbook I could edit because I have experience using GitHub.
 * I haven't been using IRC, but I could use it if that is useful for discussing things here. It would be no problem.
 * If there were an emergency, I'd send emails to the sysadmins or the oversight address if relevant. If there's a phone number for really serious emergencies, I could use that.  Lieutenant S., Geschichtsmeister des Lexipedium (talk) 15:14, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * tech:User:John/Emails is a list of all mailaddresses. I don't know about a phone number. Southparkfan (talk) 15:16, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * No phone numbers as we are just three people spread around and personal phones numbers are you know, iffy :). If you could be on IRC at times; it would be extremely helpful. I suppose I'll agree with SPF and Revi right. If you could become a bit more active and participate in any requests we might have, I see no reason not to grant you the rights shortly. John (talk) 15:33, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * I could open up IRC when at the computer, if that would be helpful.
 * You can set up a phone number by opening an Orain Google account and setting a Google Voice number and adding sysadmin phone numbers to that. I think it will let you select times when messages or calls can be passed to specific numbers.  I've heard that it's useful as a public number because of that.  Lieutenant S., Geschichtsmeister des Lexipedium (talk) 15:45, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * Please and that'll be interesting to look at. Right now; we're pretty good at responding to emails however (when I'm around, a few minutes delay is max for me) John (talk) 15:47, 21 July 2014 (BST)
 * I see no pressing issues with this request and strongly urge John to approve it promptly. -- Joe G. (Talk) 18:08, 21 July 2014 (BST)

Create MediaWiki:Lang and subpages
As on multilingual Wikimedia wikis (Commons, Meta, etc.), please create MediaWiki:Lang and language subpages with their language codes. For example, MediaWiki:Lang = en, MediaWiki:Lang/es = es, MediaWiki:Lang/fr = fr, etc. The ability to use  to retrieve the current language would be invaluable for translation. See metawikimedia:MediaWiki talk:Lang for more details. Wynter (talk) 17:22, 4 March 2015 (GMT)
 * ✅ for the ones you linked. I'm not sure which other languages you want me to create.— cyberpower ChatLimited Access 17:29, 4 March 2015 (GMT)
 * My apologies for not being specific. Please also create these: (from Special:SupportedLanguages):
 * MediaWiki:Lang/bn
 * MediaWiki:Lang/cs
 * MediaWiki:Lang/cy
 * MediaWiki:Lang/de
 * MediaWiki:Lang/fi
 * MediaWiki:Lang/hi
 * MediaWiki:Lang/ja
 * MediaWiki:Lang/ko
 * MediaWiki:Lang/nl
 * MediaWiki:Lang/ta
 * MediaWiki:Lang/tr
 * MediaWiki:Lang/zh-cn
 * Thanks, Wynter (talk) 17:55, 4 March 2015 (GMT)
 * I'll create those. Tau Ceti (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2015 (GMT)
 * ✅ All others you will need to tell me. Tau Ceti (talk) 22:06, 4 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Thanks both of you. Wynter (talk) 06:57, 5 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Also could someone do these too:
 * MediaWiki:Lang/hu
 * MediaWiki:Lang/zh-tw
 * Wynter (talk) 20:27, 8 March 2015 (GMT)

Translation management
Please mark Proposals for new wikis/header for translation. Wynter (talk) 17:19, 5 March 2015 (GMT)
 * I'll do that. Tau Ceti (talk) 22:06, 5 March 2015 (GMT)
 * I think only local admins can mark pages for translation. Wynter (talk) 05:56, 6 March 2015 (GMT)
 * Anyone? Wynter (talk) 20:27, 8 March 2015 (GMT)

DB List edit / also request for autopatrol
Request features is partially done but the database list needs to be edited I believe.

Also I'd like to request the autopatrolled flag. I've created the pages Oversight and Checkuser and regularly make tiny edits to various pages or leave messages on peoples talk pages. I don't think there's really a need for anyone to ever patrol my edits.

I've handled the first request as the newest wiki creator. I'd still like autopatrolled as I'm a wiki creator and I still edit various pages. I don't like red exclamation points ;(

Thanks, NDKilla (talk) 12:17, 27 May 2015 (BST)
