Special:PasswordPolicies for stewards

While browsing that page for other reasons, I discovered S are subject to same rule as an ordinary users, unlike the hardened rules for CU/OS/WMF-OIT/WMF-T&S/Crat/etc etc you name it.

I assume this was because SE requires admin privileges which in turn enforces hardened rules (and loginwiki CU forces them to the hardened rule), I think there is some benefit to using hardened rules for S role by default, unless global group has a special flag enforcing the hardened rule. Thoughts? — regards, Revi 20:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't think this is displayed anywhere on-wiki, but the privileged password policy is applied on the steward global group as configured here and here. Taavi (talk!) 21:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Seems like that page is showing the rules for "local groups", while certain global groups (such as stewards) already have enhanced rules. While our stewards are local stewards here on metawiki for technical reasons, they are also global users. Someone could put in a feature request to spin up Special:GlobalPasswordPolicies if they wanted to. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

EN rename request

Can someone action this request, thanx - FlightTime (open channel) 09:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

@FlightTime: You need to check the checkbox that says "Confirm to rename user with more than 100,000 edits". If you are still not able to do it I could do it for you. EPIC (talk) 09:48, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I notice that the issue is not because of the amount of edits but that there is a local account at Wikitech preventing the rename. I renamed that account to Beeblebrox (renamed), and will proceed with the global rename. EPIC (talk) 09:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
