Hi, I want to make a template of creating officenames (similar to Template:ushr), how can I do this and what are the qualifications? ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️^{(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)} 15:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.

Miscellaneous

Because of some unprecedent allegations made against me, my rollback and PCR is revoked upon my request. I thought I will be semi-active for some time and relax from Wikipedia. I have decided to get the rights I was given in 2024 Feb-Mar. I promise not to violate the policies. I faced no objection on my work as of now. Can I get those rights (rollback and PCR right) back? ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️^{(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)} 06:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Unprecedented? No. Hat collecting happens all the time on Wikipedia. FWIW, no one asked you to give up your existing rights.  Courtesy link: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive360 § Autopatrolled RFP page backlog on March 2024 Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here we go again. You see nowadays, I only edit on politics-related articles. This has nothing to do with my "hat-collecting" or whatever, and I am not abusing the rights, (as far as I did not got any objection). Because 2024 Indian General elections are going right at the moment, I may be busy in creating articles and watch if any vandals has messed anything or not. I thought I may need the rollback and PCR, for the help. Rest is upto the admin and I will not escalate further. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️^{(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)} 10:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have given you rollbacker and pending changes reviewer rights. PhilKnight (talk) 12:19, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
