UTRS2

I made a global block appeal through UTRS2 but unfortunately I didn't write down the appeal key and now I can't log in to see the progress of my request. I don't know if this is the right place but I don't know where else to turn. Please help me. Thank you. 188.4.245.41 01:06, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

For an IP block? Just open another request. Please note, appeals may take weeks to months to review. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:52, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Opt in tlwiki in GSwikiset

tl.wikipedia.org has less than 10 Administrator (except abuse filter account), and 2 administrators have made actions in last two months. That's what I got from here. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 12:10, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Done given that both points of Global sysops#Scope are met, and that there is no explicit opt-out discussion as far as I could find. EPIC (talk) 12:16, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Opt-in glwiki in GSwikiset

gl.wikipedia.org meets Global sysops#Scope.

• fewer than ten administrators exist
• fewer than three administrators have made a logged action within the past two months.

No explicit opt-out discussion. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 09:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Done. EPIC (talk) 09:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Global sysop set audit

Inspired by the above two threads I wrote a PAWS script at https://public-paws.wmcloud.org/46222050/Global%20Sysops.ipynb to review what wikis should be added to or removed from the opt-out wiki set. It suggested:

1. Revoke access on afwiki (14 admins, 9 active)
2. Allow access on anwiki (only 9 admins)

   This wiki explicitly opted out per Global sysops/Local discussions

3. Revoke access on azwiki (15 admins, 13 active)
4. Revoke access on bewiki (10 admins, 7 active)
5. Revoke access on brwikimedia (13 admins, 4 active)
6. Allow access on bswiki (only 9 admins)
7. Revoke access on cowikimedia (13 admins, 3 active)

   (Only if you include both page creations and spam blacklist hits as logged actions, both of which are dubious, probably fine to leave as is)

8. Allow access on cswikisource (only 3 admins)

   This wiki explicitly opted out per Global sysops/Local discussions

9. Allow access on cswiktionary (only 4 admins)

   This wiki explicitly opted out per Global sysops/Local discussions

10. Revoke access on elwiktionary (10 admins, 5 active)
11. Revoke access on enwikinews (16 admins, 4 active)

    This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions. But personally it's nice to see that enwikinews has recovered above the point of being default in the GS scope after their prior crisis.

12. Remove access on enwikiversity (11 admins, 6 active)

    This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

13. Remove access on enwikibooks (37 admins, 16 active)

    This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

14. Remove access on eswikibooks (10 admins, 3 active)
15. Allow access on frwikiversity (only 9 admins)
16. Remove access on foundationwiki (25 admins, 5 active)

    This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

17. Remove access on hawiki (10 admins, 8 active)
18. Remove access on hywiki (10 admins, 6 active)
19. Remove access on incubatorwiki (13 admins, 5 active)

    This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

20. Remove access on itwikiquote (10 admins, 6 active)
21. Allow access on kawiki (only 6 admins)

    This wiki explicitly opted out per Global sysops/Local discussions.

22. Remove access on labswiki (Wikitech): 32 admins, 13 active
23. Remove access on lawiki: 21 admins, 8 active
24. Allow access on loginwiki (only 1 admin)

    This is a special-purpose wiki and isn't subject to GS rules.

Note that in all cases the abuse filter account is treated as an admin, so you may want to skip the ones with exactly 10 admins.

1. Revoke access on mediawikiwiki (137 admins, 49 active)

   Please hold pending mw:Topic:Yf8m40ru9m6lvseu

2. Revoke access on nlwikimedia (14 admins, 3 active)

   This is listed at Global sysops/Local discussions as having opted out, but was added to the wiki set out of process in 2022 anyway.

3. Allow access on nlwiktionary (only 7 admins)
4. Revoke access on outreachwiki (20 admins, 4 active)

   This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

5. Revoke access on pawiki (10 admins, 5 active)
6. Revoke access on ruwiktionary (15 admins, 7 active)
7. Revoke access on sqwiki (11 admins, 4 active)

   There was a very old opt-in request at Steward requests/Global permissions/2010-11#Opt-in for Albanian Wikipedia, not listed at Global sysops/Local discussions. If that's still valid feel free to add it to the /Local discussions page instead.

8. Revoke access on srwiki (15 admins, 14 active)

   This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

9. Revoke access on swwiki (14 admins, 6 active)
10. Revoke access on test2wiki (94 admins, 10 active)
11. Revoke access on testwikidatawiki (38 admins, 3 active)

    Only if you include page creations as logged actions.

    Feel free to ignore the test wikis in general - I know test wikis are a special case, but listing them for completeness. Test2wiki is already opted out.

12. Remove access on tlwiki (10 admins, 3 active)

    Only if you include page creations as admin actions

13. Remove access on uawikimedia (19 admins, 6 active)
14. Remove access on ukwiki (49 admins, 39 active)

    This wiki explicitly opted in per Global sysops/Local discussions.

15. Remove access on viwiktionary (11 admins, 4 active)
16. Remove access on wikifunctionswiki (11 admins, 8 active)
17. Remove access on wikimaniawiki (27 admins, 4 active)
