Requests for Custodianship

AtUkr (Talk | Email | Contribs | SulUtil)

Hi. I'm once again requesting a temporary custodianship to continue the cleanup. This was done by me for the Ukrainian test project during my last term as a test wiki custodian. There's still much work to be done; some of it I bring to the requests page for the custodians to handle. Seeing as the only active custodian ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ no longer has the rights (although they have my support if they decide to re-apply), and I'm now able to dedicate more time to the matter, I decided to take up the mantle myself.

Note: due to some misunderstanding, the last time I requested the flag I was only given test wiki rights. This is not what I'm asking for, I'm requesting a general custodianship for the entire website.

How long would you like the period to be? --Sotiale (talk) 01:57, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sotiale: 3 months should be enough, thank you. AtUkr (talk) 19:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just for clarification: I’m a bit confused and would like to better understand the scope here.

The platform norms mention that temporary custodianship is usually granted for maintaining content in a specific language. If the candidate does good work, they can later request permanent custodianship from the community.

However, this request appears to be for general custodianship across the entire website, not just for a single test project or language. Has there been a change in policy allowing 'temporary custodianship' for general maintenance across all of Betawikiversity, or am I perhaps missing a discussion or precedent? --

@ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ: I did some digging and, apparently, the line about "temporary custodianship" appeared on that page all the way back in 2008 when neither test wiki custodians nor user group expiry were things. Now it's the test wiki group which is meant for maintaining a specific language project, regulated by a whole another policy. So clearly, Wikiversity:Custodians is just a tad outdated. And of course, there is a precedent - namely you were granted a temporary 3-month custodianship for the entire website (which has just expired). Also me requesting the rights for 3 months is in line with the requirements listed on Meta, just in case the bureaucrats remain unresponsive and a steward action is necessary. I think that should settle it. AtUkr (talk) 19:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AtUkr: Hi. It's been 7 days already, so that's enough. As you know, it is best to leave the contents of the project, including VI or etc, untouched unless it is obvious. I think this recommendation is not relevant to you, since the scope of the tools you are going to utilize is probably related to the general maintenance of this site, not the contents. If you are well aware of this (and I believe you are), I will do as you wish. --Sotiale (talk) 12:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sotiale I don't have a problem with that. AtUkr (talk) 15:09, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sotiale, thanks for granting the flag. Not to seem greedy, but while we're at it, could I have interface admin too? I just realized that custodians can't edit CSS/JS, and I'd like to fix the language selection gadget. AtUkr (talk) 18:31, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you didn't mention it in this request, you should open a separate request asking for IA in principle. I would like to attach the flag right away, but I think you know that the general process doesn't flow that way. Please open a new request. --Sotiale (talk) 13:34, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping this could be avoided, but alright. I submitted the request. AtUkr (talk) 22:11, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ (Talk | Email | Contribs | SulUtil)

Hi, I would like to request permanent custodianship on Beta Wikiversity. I have previously served as a custodian and actively supported maintenance. Many existing custodians, such as User:Encore007, have been inactive for years, and others have very few actions and are mostly inactive for months, creating gaps in regular upkeep. I am ready to help consistently and take on the necessary responsibilities.--(talk) 10:49, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For my part, you have only been here too recently for me to make an informed judgement about your work. However, initial indications suggest a good start. I would wait a little longer before making a final decision. The option of temporary status during a probationary period of three to six months seems to me to be the better option. Crochet.david (talk) 19:58, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Crochet.david Fair enough. Since I’ve already served three months, I don’t mind a six-month probationary period. I’d just prefer to reduce the number of applications from my side.--

Well, I don't have enough confidence in you to trust you as a permanent custodian here. You've also occasionally stopped contributing here for a period of time, and I think your claims alone are insufficient. This isn't about your contributions, but about your activities. However, I still do not oppose your custodian activities here as a temporary custodian. --Sotiale (talk) 08:06, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. I hope you will assess the situation from a neutral point of view, and I also hope nothing from our previous conversations has caused any misunderstanding. This platform’s norm is to make someone a permanent custodian after serving as a temporary custodian, and I feel it is a bit unfair when this standard is not applied consistently. Regarding my activity as a sysop:

I am a sysop/administrator on a sister project, Wikimedia Incubator, where I currently rank 5th among the active administrators.
I am also a sysop/administrator on Multilingual Wikisource, where I rank 4th among the active administrators.

Here, I previously served as a temporary custodian for 3 months, after which another active user, AtUkr, served their 3-month term. While there was an active custodian, I respectfully stepped back and allowed them to work without disruption. I am applying now because there is currently no very active custodian, and I would like to help maintain the project effectively. Thank you for considering my request.--

(talk) 12:26, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure why a permanent custodianship is necessary; do you have long-term plans for managing the project in general rather than the Sylheti testwiki in particular? If so, please share them. Beta Wikiversity isn't as big or active as to warrant heavy oversight. It does need a thorough cleanup - I wasn't able to perform a proper one due to IRL business, but I do think that a less busy person could manage it in months as a temporary custodian. I would happily

Support a 6 month custodianship. AtUkr (talk) 22:44, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment: Hi friend, just stick around, when people know you and your contributions even more, things will be okay... --Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 11:31, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. I truly appreciate it.--

Requests for Interface adminship

Hi, this is a request for the interface admin flag on top of my custodianship. The gadgets could use an update and custodians can't do that. I'm asking for a temporary 3-month flag. Cheers. AtUkr (talk) 22:06, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your IA will be attached to match the duration of your custodian flag, as it is safe and common. However, this shouldn't be a problem, as you can request additional time. --Sotiale (talk) 02:11, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
