Please stop sending in test requests to the meta-wiki oversight team. We monitor these for rapid response and tests generate alerts/notices to the team. Thank you, — xaosflux ^Talk 13:15, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I was testing @TenWhile6's script Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 03:53, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

Stop doing tests on Steward requests/Checkuser as well. This is not a test wiki. -- Tegel _(Talk) 09:38, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Revocation of rights

Hello, I am revoking your rights here for the following reasons:

• You have been adding machine and AI translations here. The examples are at Translations:Mailing lists/Overview/534/st in a language that you do not speak or understand and also your very recent Hindi translations which even have some very basic errors in them.
• SM7 had also advised you at Hindi Wikiversity against adding machine-translated content.
• On a crosswiki level also there have been concerns and signs of untrustworthyness for you (including your various bans (1, 2, 3) that were lifted about 1-2 months ago): you have made various requests that are hatcollect-y at such as administrator permissions on projects you are less active or experienced such as Steward_requests/Permissions/2024-07#Cactusisme@bugwiki and Steward_requests/Permissions/2025-02#Cactusisme@hi.wikiversity
• There is also the recently rejected VRT request and the redirect autopatrol request.
• On a personal level, I have taken note of some of your low-effort responses to questions or explanations asked from you (examples: w:User_talk:Cactusisme#You_declined_a_redirect,_asking_for_a_source_.._but_.., simple:User_talk:Cactusisme/Archive_4#Revert on simplewiki).

These is all, in summary, a bad form for an autopatroller (as your edits still potentially need checking), let alone a patroller, so I think it is too premature for you to have these rights here and your edits could need manual checking. Svārtava (tɕ) 14:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Svartava Thanks for your advice. I will try my best not to repeat these mistakes. Can you correct this link? this Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:20, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Regarding your first point, I was trying to revert a vandalism, but I didn't know how to change the page since it is a translation without blanking it so I did the edit. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Regarding your second point, I have since then made little to no machine translations there and instead improved current articles in the way of simplifying them. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:22, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Your extremely recent Hindi translations here on Meta were machine translations. I've mentioned this already. Svārtava (tɕ) 11:23, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Reagrding your third point, I do not see how blocks that were lifted affects my thrustworthiness in any way as I have learnt from my mistakes and have not repeated them, so your point isn't valid. The bugwiki link is also a long time ago and hatcollecting refers to when I requeasted for advanced rights in a short period of time, example you? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Regarding your fourth point, I dont see how that applies here? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Not all just some which were complicated. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:25, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Which were minor Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:26, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

• I don't think that excuses you from the concern. You published error-containing machine translations here which itself is unbecoming of an (auto)patroller here. There is also User_talk:Cactusisme/2025#Please_stop which contributes to demonstrating that there are gaps in your understanding of this project.
• Hatcollecting applies to all kind of rights, including smaller ones, which is why the rejected VRT and redirect autopatrol requests are relevant. I tried to list as many permission requests of yours to show the continuing pattern of right requests and failed outcomes.
• Regarding w:User_talk:Cactusisme#You_declined_a_redirect,_asking_for_a_source_.._but_.. here, I find Please submit a new request bit of a bureaucracy-minded reply instead of one that aims to discuss the underlying issue. This is especially noteworthy because I could see the same with the other linked discussion, where it is pretty indefensible.

Finally, there is no objectivity in being fit for the rights and it depends on analysis and discretion. I was not aware of all these issues earlier, or else I would have showed my opposition at your patroller request which may have impacted the granting admin's decision to do so. Also, per your recent errors I pointed out, I believe there is sufficient reason to revoke your rights and after being familiar with the issues, I would definitely be opposed to a restoration for now. If you feel your case is strong enough, you can always rerequest the rights at RFH to possibly get the opinions of some other admins. Svārtava (tɕ) 12:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

@Svartava Why don’t you revoke auto patrol from patroller, so that I can use rollback? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 22:35, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

That's technically not possible as patroller group contains autopatrol within it. Secondly, even if it was possible, I would certainly be wary about granting that to you given the highlighted issues. Svārtava (tɕ) 04:12, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Regarding your last point, one of them is broken, the first link links to a recent conversation with an ip regarding a redirect issue, Zioness. If you look deeper into the conversation, you may realise I had accepted another redirect, The Zioness. Thus, I felt the other one is not sufficient. However, Since the Ip requested again, I would be taking a deeper look before accepting, and also I wanted to know the reason why the Ip wanted the redirect to make sure the ip is not a advertiser.

Reason?

Could you please include reationales when requesting deletions? For example, you didn't provide any here: ur:Special:Diff/6680826. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 17:44, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@Aafi That was due to the page not being notable, the reason is stated there? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 22:37, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

If you want me to write a reason at GSR, I don’t swviewer has a function like that. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 22:38, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Translation page

What do you think of this? User:Cactusisme/Simple Administrators Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 12:26, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't get involved with translations, sorry. //shb (t • c) 12:34, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Anyone you know who does? Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 12:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

@Cactusisme, a translation admin here. if you are looking to learn how to be a translation administrator (TA), there are some stuff to follow. What you did was a start, but there is still some way to go. In addition to the Translate extension’s guidelines about marking a page for translation:, on Meta here as well there is also Meta:Internationalization guidelines.

In your work above, there are stuff that you don't need to do, i.e. putting that <!-- T1 --> tags as this will be generated automatically by the extension when a TA marks the page for translation. This is important as you do not want old translated strings to appear out of place. There are some other issues as well in your work, i.e. placement of <translate>, etc.

Here's the diff of a page that I recently tagged up which you can take as reference, and the next revision after all that work is what the extension does when I mark the page for translation. Robertsky (talk) 01:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thanks Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 02:52, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky I made some changes, can you take a look? Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 03:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky also created User:Cactusisme/Simple English Wikipedia Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 04:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

How do you mark {{formatnum:{{NUMBEROF|articles|simple}}}} for translation Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 04:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Cactusisme again, please read the internationalisation guidelines. i have corrected some of the stuff there. also please make that for each paragraph or separate line item, the tvar names are unique. for formatnum, you can wrap it in a tvar. Robertsky (talk) 08:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

I see, okay Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 03:10, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky Do you think I got better with User:Cactusisme/Northern Sami Wikipedia? Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 03:32, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky Pinging after move to talk page. Cactus ^{spiky ouch} 07:17, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Robertsky Did you check? Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 09:17, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
