De-admin??

As a Bureaucrat, I am a bit embarrassed to ask this, but: I've never taken anyone's keys away here. There is a user who is OK with being de-admin'd.... but I'm not sure how to do that. Can you advise, please?--Bddpaux (talk) 20:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@Bddpaux: I think you can just do it from Special:UserRights. On some wikis Bureaucrat's are not allowed to remove admin rights (In which case you have to ask on the steward's noticeboard on meta), but i believe wikinews is one of the wikis where crats are allowed to remove admin.

{{Wikt}}

Hey Bawolff, when you've got some time can you make leadGenerator.js strip {{wikt}} links (/\{\{[wiktWikt]\|([^\}]+)\}\}/g)? (It would be great as well to switch the .imgMap maps to .svg's and add support for South Sudan.) Thanks! Heavy Water (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Wikinews:Water_cooler/miscellaneous#social_media_for_reviewers_and_authors_and_developers may be of interest to you as a reviewer, thanks and regards, Gryllida (talk) 05:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Requesting a review

Hello @Bawolff, I can see that Wikinews has not published any articles since January 4, so I am reaching out to request a review of my first article here: World Athletics Indoor Championships concludes in Glasgow with new world records and significant wins

I understand you aren't currently active, but I was wondering if you could review the article, or if not then could you please approve Asheiou's RfP here? It seems like there is an inactivity issue and I would really appreciate your prompt help. --Habst (talk) 14:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Your lack of activity

Your last review was in October 2021 which is nearly 3 years ago. Your last admin action was in March 2024 (technically), but it was an action that should not have been taken and one you later reverted. Outside of this, your last admin action was in October 2018, nearly 6 years ago. According to [[WN:PEP]] users who do not use those permissions for 2 years will have them removed. This is just a notice and I have not requested removal of your permissions. You will also be renotified at least once more before I make a request for removal of your permissions.

I defer to the wikinews community what rights they want me to have. Bawolff ☺☻ 19:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Second notification, I might request removal of your reviewer and admin rights soon Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 11:53, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Help with review

Hi

(I am messaging all reviewers)

Hope you are doing well.

Here are submitted for peer review:

• Photo exhibition “Ethnic features of the world people” took place in the Crimean capital
• On the campaign trail in the USA, June 2024
• "Machu Picchu, and not only...", a new photo exhibition by Viktor Pinchuk was held in Crimea

Could you please review? Even a little edit or just one review would help a lot. (I don't require a commitment to review every day from now on.)

Would you like to get notified of new drafts submitted for review? If so, please tell me which topics (or any topic) and where (email, wiki messages, push notification on smart phone, notification in wiki Notifications, or somewhere else).

Would you find a WN:RNA page for reviewers useful, it would be similar to WN:AAA but intended for reviewers to discuss reviewing and related software.

Would you be interested other communications off-wiki to create audio or video contact with other reviewers? I think this online gathering could be an essential part to deduce how to make article authoring and review easier. It could be just 30 minutes a month, and you don't have to participate every time. I would write a meeting minutes note after each session and publish it on-wiki if desired.

Thanks!

Errors from EasyPeerReview

I am receiving two errors from EasyPeerReview when publishing. This is new behavior.

Error 1: WWC error [step 1] [tell bawolff]:api is not a function

Error 2: Easy Peer Review experienced some issue when creating opinion page. Please tell user:Bawolff (include browser and technical details). Technical details: api is not a function

Let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to help with debugging. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:04, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that WN:ML has also stopped working for me; nothing happens when I click the "Make lead" button. I don't know if the problems are related. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Not sure what is going on here. Do other people also experience this issue? Bawolff ☺☻ 11:02, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@RockerballAustralia, Gryllida: do either of you experience issues when using EasyPeerReview? See above for details. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 13:35, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Not that I've noticed. I'll certainly keep an eye out for it. RockerballAustralia contribs 00:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Is it still broken if you disable your /common.js and meta /global.js? Maybe there is some sort of conlict. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:09, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I'll have a play around with it to see what I can find out when I've got time. That should be sometime later this afternoon my time (UTC+10). RockerballAustralia contribs 01:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I used the tool twice today and in both cases the articles were 'not-ready'd' and I did not get any errors either time. I have only gotten the errors when the review results in a published article. I will test again with another article after first disabling the scripts as you proposed. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 15:44, 6 November 2024 (UTC); edited 15:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I suspect the conflict is with m:User:TenWhile6/XReport.js. I disabled /common.js, which does not call XReport, and still received the two errors when publishing. However, after disabling XReport from /global.js, I was again able to use WN:ML. I will test easypeerreview again later with XReport disabled to see if that is indeed to culprit. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:45, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
