Hello

@Tegel: Can you give me a stats bureaucrat at map-bmswp. Becaus at there no bureaucrat stats Thanks Arifys (talk) 12:43, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi. No, I can't do that. You have to announce it locally that you request bureaucrat flag and then after 7 days place a request at Steward requests/Permissions. But based on the small wiki and that there is only active administrator (you) I don't see a need for a local bureaucrat. If there is a need for new administrators you can place a request at Steward requests/Permissions and for bot flags there is Steward requests/Bot status. -- Tegel _(Talk) 12:49, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Oh thanks, but I also need check user stat for verificate new user. How I get stat checkuser?

Thanks Arifys (talk) 12:58, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

For being a Checkuser the wiki must be much larger than it is today, and you need to be at least two checkusers. For now if you have a check that needs to be done you place a request at Steward requests/Checkuser and a Steward will do the check for you. But why do you want to check new users? -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:05, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Because there are many users who abuse their account.

Arifys (talk) 13:10, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Can't you just block the user? -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:14, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, But I should verificate this user, So do not duplicate account. Arifys (talk) 13:21, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Then you place a request at Steward requests/Checkuser. -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:22, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for inform Arifys (talk) 13:52, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

You just lost me 30 minutes of work

I was debugging something important on mediawiki.org, and you came along and deleted my work without even warning me. I was just on the verge of finding a bug in TemplateData that had to be tested in the Template: namespace, not in a sandbox. I even named my template to indicate I would delete it shortly. I can understand keeping things tidy (I run a wiki with 200,000+ pages) but you could have just messaged me instead of destroying my work. Now I have to recreate my test cases from memory. --Maiden taiwan (talk) 18:15, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Why don't you do tests on a test-wiki, such as https://test.wikipedia.org/ instead of an active wiki? Since you're not an admin on that wiki you can only blank the page after your done testing, and then we have blank pages to delete. -- Tegel _(Talk) 18:23, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never heard of test.wikipedia.org before. I will go see if the same behavior occurs on that server. Would you mind please pasting the last content from my two templates into a <pre> tag on my user talk page on mediawiki.org, so I don't have to start from scratch? Thanks. --Maiden taiwan (talk) 18:27, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Looks like test.wikipedia.org does not run VisualEditor, so I cannot test on it. Any other suggestions? --Maiden taiwan (talk) 18:34, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Use https://test2.wikipedia.org. Stryn (talk) 20:15, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

About enwiki

Hello,

My IP block on ENWiki expired, but (just wondering) does the sock policy apply to good faith IP edits? I don't plan on making accounts, just making some edits such as an AN report for Messina and unblocked socks. I'm kinda scared as in I will get my IP globally blocked so be honest. 96.237.20.248 00:24, 20 January 2016 (UTC) and I am trying following the standard offer and to be useful

You might want to ask someone that is active on enwiki regarding their policy's. As a generic opinion I would say that if you have been blocked you are blocked. If you create a new account, or editing without an account, you circumvent your block and there is a big chance that you will be blocked again. -- Tegel _(Talk) 00:45, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

OK, I'll be cautious but bold. 96.237.20.248 12:17, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

"Logging out to make problematic edits as an IP address"

Future IdeaLab Campaigns results

Last December, I invited you to help determine future ideaLab campaigns by submitting and voting on different possible topics. I'm happy to announce the results of your participation, and encourage you to review them and our next steps for implementing those campaigns this year. Thank you to everyone who volunteered time to participate and submit ideas.

With great thanks,

User:Ϣ at crwiki

The user was creating blank pages.
But the names of his pages were not random.
They were the names of places in northern Ontario and Quebec where Cree people live.
"Moose Factory" is the name of a town in Ontario.
There is the possibility that he actually speaks the language.
In Canada, Varlaam (talk) 05:09, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

There is a user that goes from one small wiki to another and creating blank pages, or almost blank pages. I have tried to communicate with the user a number of time on a number of wikis, but without luck. Maybe you are more successful in communicating with this user. -- Tegel _(Talk) 11:05, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Interesting.

Does he normally create pages that are relevant to the project he is in?

Is he saying, in effect, "I think this project should have these pages" and he is, more or less, correct when he says that?

He is an intellectual? With no language skills?

Thanks, Varlaam (talk) 17:51, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

(I do miss Sweden. I was last there in 1987.)

He has just renamed himself to Даниил Алексеев (Daniel Alekseyev).

Varlaam (talk) 03:36, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Then it's probably not the same user that I was thinking about, just similar behavior on small wikis. The page name seems OK. If it would just contain something like "XX is a place in YY". Now it was just empty pages. -- Tegel _(Talk) 14:53, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Iliev2

I see you locked Iliev2 globally; is Iliev the same? Seems to have a productive past, but now seems to be making the same edits as 2 on the English Wikipedia. Only (talk) 12:55, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Based on the edits that I checked it seems like they are fighting each other. Iliev placed a request here: Steward_requests/Global#Global_lock_for_Iliev2 that Iliev2 marked as not done. So based on the information that I have seen right now I don't think that they are the same user. -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:02, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I see now this tagging on En. like the report here for global lock. It was just weird to me that Iliev hasn't edited since November and happens to show up the same day and is now reverting IPs at the same pages where Iliev2 was editing. Only (talk) 13:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

And I see now that he's a sysop at the Bulgarian Wiki so I do feel terrible having had my suspicions like that! Thanks for the input, Only (talk) 13:13, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Only, no problems with the suspicion. ;) In fact, proper suspicion is an integral part of our job (accounts get stolen, for example). I do apologize however for not making more clearly what the situation was, but I assumed (probably wrongly) that the case with ZOKIDIN/Никита-Родин-2002 and his/her confusion-through-impersonation attempts are well known (also, we've had similar cases in the past on bg:W, so it was a well-known bad guys' tactic for me). I would also like to thank Tegel and all the other people who have (and are) taking the brunt of such attacks! Cheers, — Luchesar V. ILIEV • T/C 15:53, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Brutal Attacks on Macedonian values and Identity

Dear Tegel, please remove text https://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korisnik:Orijentolog/Janevistan on SH.Wiki , because there User:Orjentolog deliberetly denominates Name of the Macedonian State, Name of the People of Macedonia and brutaly attacks Macedonian Nation! If possible remove all his rights and block this person on Wikipedia. Wiki was here blatantly misuse to brutaly offend rights and feelings of all Macedonians. Thank you 93.87.170.58 11:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Sh.wiki has local admins, so if you want this user blocked and pages deleted you have to bring it up locally at sh.wiki. -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:10, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

So the people who were engaged in brutal propaganda against all institutions in Macedonia, all values, identity, including the name of people and the name of language, making jokes about government,etc, one should go and ask them "please remove that nationalist propaganda content" !? Instead, Stewards should block and remove all rights to that Vandal revealing even private informations, and remove the administrator who protected that masterpiece. 93.87.170.58 15:37, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

And now he added slanders in N*zi style references https://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korisnik:Orijentolog/Janevistan . 93.87.170.58 17:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Tegel, this IP has been banned on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia for using multiply accounts and propagating himself as "famous diplomat, philosopher and musicologist" without any reliable sources (see details), so he was banned and his biographical article was deleted. Subsequently he started to vandalize various articles and user pages of all contributors involved in his case, and he even threaten to slaughter us. Alleged "chauvinistic" article is only a parody of his fictional World and it's part of Wikipedia humor category. In short, ignore him. --Orijentolog (talk) 18:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

You Received an Award at Macedonian Wikipedia

You Received an Award! [1] . 93.86.56.123 14:12, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Legiallity's global block

Did you add the rest of the global block templates to User:Legiallity? I was in the process of adding some of the templates to their user page other Wikimedia projects, but I'm only here to say thanks if you did. *smiles* XCONZ (talk) 19:48, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Adding a lock template on every wiki where a locked account exist is not something that we do. So don't spend any time on that. Was it your account that got locked? -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:55, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on content curation & review

Confirmation discussions

Dear Tegel,

As you probably know, the confirmation discussions for Stewards have been closed. In order to determine the outcome of these discussions, you are invited to comment on Talk:Stewards/Confirm/2016 before scheduled closure of the confirmation section "one week after the appointment of the newly elected stewards" (Sunday 6th of March, 17:22 UTC), though the closing time might be extended at the ElectCom's discretion for an extra week if it is believed "further input is required before concluding". All stewards are welcome to comment, including those newly elected.

For those who ran for confirmation, consider revising comments regarding you, and replying to those where appropriate. Savh^ñ 08:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

are you crazy

Are you crazy to block me for three (!) days just because I wrote that tegel's English is so poor?? It's right and at least three days it's really exaggerated. Why is it your problem

I can't see that I blocked this IP-address before, but if you continue to edit other users user page in the same way as you have started I will block your current IP-address. -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Never mind. It's blocked. -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:54, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

You blocked this: 2A02:908:1A2:A160:E4F6:3A2C:9935:8D01 I don't think it's ok to block it for three days you even don't speak German and didn't understand what he wrote. Don't you think it's exaggerated?!

I really believe you're a maniac. Just blocking in order to block

If I consider it to be vandalism of the user page I will block you for it. You can kindly ask on the talk page if the user would change it, but I don't agree on en-1. In what way is calling someone a maniac according to Etiquette? You know that you can be blocked for that, don't you? -- Tegel _(Talk) 20:01, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Ok I will a ask him to change it. But I still think three days blocking is too much. And why did you block the other ip for 31hrs? Why not 33? I don't understand the sense of 31 hour

Lol, i asked really kindly and what happened? He blocks me. It's hilarious

80.187.99.56, you have been writing him really a lot of times. You should have understood that after one revert the user considered the question as trolling. BTW, which dialect of German have you used? (just interested). --Ochilov (talk) 12:58, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Deleted new topic "Industry Affairs"

You have deleted my attempts to create a new page on Industry Affairs; a branch of communication similar to Public Affairs and Government Affairs. You have referred to a the inclusion policy, but I see nothing under "Not Acceptable" that would justify not creating the page I am trying to. Can you please explain your action?

Lruetimann (talk) 14:12, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I deleted the text because I couldn't see that the information was related to this wiki. The purpose of this wiki is to coordinate activities for all of Wikimedias wiki. Are you sure that you are on the correct wiki? Aren't you looking for Wikipedia or Wiktionary? The first point under "Not Accceptable" mention "Content more appropriate on another wiki project" and it is there I put your contribution. -- Tegel _(Talk) 14:29, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

This being my first attempt, I was following instructions and had understood that I was creating the new page for Wikipedia. I will make another attempt after going through the instructions once more. Lruetimann (talk) 17:39, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

My page

Hi Tegel, I write because I tried to put my page ("Pobreza en Costa de Marfil") on the Spanish wikipedia but I could't. I think is good stuff and could be useful for some people interested in the subject. Is it possible that, instead of deleting it, you pass it to the Spashish wikipedia? Thanks for your comprehension!!

Why don't you create it yourself? And why did you create a page in Spanish on Wikipedia in English? -- Tegel _(Talk) 09:14, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Yes, I understand you and no, I can't help you. If you are the same user as Erdemaslancan your current account should also be blocked. Do you want me to fix that? -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't have problem with Wikipedia. This two user every time making insulting, harassing on facebook, on translatewiki.net and twitter. I'm not have problem with you. I have war with this two users near 7 year. If you want blocking me no problem, but what if I'm right? My best regards Kumkumuk (talk) 19:33, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

If you have problem on Facebook and Twitter, just don't bring it to Wikipedia. Solve the problem over there.

How many accounts have you had during the years? -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:34, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

we was working till 2009, and later we fought at 2010. We're 6 year debate. Because they use wrong grammar. I'm from soutern zazaki area. Diq lang code is for zazaki Wikipedia (Soutern zazaki wikipedia). They are from Nortwrn zazaki areas. We debate this issues. Kumkumuk (talk) 19:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

That doesn't make it OK to mess with their user pages. You didn't answer my question. How many accounts have you had during the years? -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:55, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Tegel! Erdemaslancan (now Kumkumuk) He is, by his own admission, such an unreliable psychopath. Please blocked him immediately because he ruined the whole project (sytem messages). He may have Zazaish parents, but he is definitely not a native speaker. -- Mirzali (talk) 15:36, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear Tegel, me and Mirzali don't have personal problems with Erdem Aslancan. The one and only problem is that he doesn't master the Zaza-Language in grammar, orthography and lexis and his translations of all the directives and layers are wrong. This has nothing to do with the dialect he speaks. We know also his dialect well and have friends who have written a grammar book or master thesis about Southern Zazaki. We have proved and underlayed him this fact seceral times but he continuied with his manner. --asmên 18:34, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi,my edits AIN'T vandalism.

178.42.216.148 14:58, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tegel. In case you hadn't already guessed, the person editing from 178.42.0.0/16 is the same as the one you just blocked globally at 95.49.0.0/16. Same ISP and location. I've had to block several instances on en-Wiki. Favonian (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

It is a sad joke? He blocked all Neostrada in Polish Wiki. Remove the lock. You can not do this, submit the application to your administrator. You can not, you do not know, then do not do.188.146.6.60 19:01, 19 August 2016 (UTC)Dariusz Wolinski POLAND

I can change the global block so users with account can edit. Stop vandalising cross-wiki and there will not be a need for any extended blocks. -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:09, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Vandal is one. You blocked tens of thousands of Polish users Neostrada. You blocked in polish Wiki. Following a complaint to the Polish administrators. At you. Do not punish thousands of innocent people. You have a problem with only one man. 88.156.128.137 19:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)Dariusz Wolinski POLAND

One person that is vandalising for so many by coming back with a new IP-address as soon as the current one is blocked. The only good thing that the user comes back over and over is that there is more data to collect for an abuse report to the ISP. If you create an account you would not be affected by the block. -- Tegel _(Talk) 19:53, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

You blocked thousands of people. In the Polish Wiki. Do you understand that? You have a problem with one vandal. You punished thousands of innocent people. I've never had to deal with a man from Sweden. You are using collective responsibility. You punish thousands of innocent people. This is violence. This is discrimination. Further discussion does not make sense. Enjoy your power. 88.156.128.137 20:25, 19 August 2016 (UTC)Dariusz Wolinski POLAND

This one and the same person deserved once Global block of Orange ranges (2015). Can you redo such announcement and block again to force their abuse service to react accordingly? It best works to awake their abuse from slumber to make yearly global block with its announcement to medialize it on many web portals indirectly, only to lift it immediately after their reaction to troublesome vandal. 110.4.45.56 17:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)Dariusz Wolinski POLAND

cross-wiki … spam?

Hi Tegel, last night you blocked 5.100.249.110 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye for 3 months globally and requested a speedy deletion at deWP. A few days ago, by chance I saw 2A03:B0C0:3:D0:0:0:1588:5001 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye in deWP. Similar texts, but absolutely different IP adress. I saw other IPs with this texts, too (but can’t remember the exact ones). Since these IPs come from different countries, they are probably open proxies. Shouldn’t they blocked then for one year instead of 3 months?
Do you have any idea, what the purpose of this spam is? There isn’t a weblink, or the name of a website, nothing. Puzzled: --Schniggendiller (talk) 13:18, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I have blocked 10-15 IP-addresses per day the last couple of days now. A few pages contains links, but the pages is following the same pattern/format. You can spam the same content on multiple wikis without it has to be commercial spam. If I can confirm that it's an open proxy with a quick test I block them for longer time. In many cases I think that it's either a leaky web host or a user that is infected by a virus or other malware software, and then I block it for 1-3 month. My guess is that it's someone that is testing the software for a more normal spam attack that, in the worst case, will be on a bigger scale than we have seen now. -- Tegel _(Talk) 13:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Press block 81.177.254.196 or 31 hours. 188.32.98.79 16:14, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

With what motivation? It normally takes two persons for an edit war. Should I block both of you? -- Tegel _(Talk) 16:20, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Disruptive global lock request

Hi. I have just added an entry to stop some of the username abuse. As a reminder that as we have global accounts this will only affected new global account names and have no effect on your creating new accounts on new wikis for yourself.

Blocking without reason

Can you remove a block?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.219.86.180 (talk)

Yes, I could. What is it about and what is the reason for the unblock? -- Tegel _(Talk) 18:26, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

I have DNA 4G network. This is not proxy IP.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.219.59.164 (talk)

The reason for the block is not that it's a proxy. Its because of cross-wiki vandalism during a long time and your IPS/mobile operator has not replied to our abuse reports. What wiki do you want to edit? -- Tegel _(Talk) 10:35, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Blocking

I use a VPN for everything, and the IP ranges that my VPN uses are blocked. Is there any way to unblock my account without having to unblock the IP ranges? I can't even edit my own talk page, and it would be very difficult for me to disable the VPN everytime I want to edit Wikipedia or Commons. Thanks! Digon3 (talk) 04:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

You need to provide more information for us to be able to investigate the possible options. If you don't want to put the information here you can send an e-mail to stewardswikimediaorg containing the complete message that you get when you are trying to edit. Then we can have a look at the different options. -- Tegel _(Talk) 06:09, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

i got a block in wiki.

The block was made by Tegel (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Cross-wiki vandalism: This IP range has been abused for cross-wiki vandalism.

Actually i have no idea how to do Cross-wiki vandalism and what it is. Can we talk about it? And can you remove this block?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.219.65.34 (talk)

The block is because one user that uses the same ISP as you use is vandalizing on multiple wikis and your ISP doesn't act on our abuse reports. So the only solution then is to block the IP-addresses. I will not remove the block as of now. I would recommend you to create an account. Then you can edit from your current IP-address. You can create an account from an IP-address that is not blocked, or create the account here at Meta. Feel free to contact your ISP and ask them to act on our abuse report. -- Tegel _(Talk) 09:50, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Change of global block

Hi. You recently blocked the range 74.82.4.0/24 globally. This range is a proxy server (verify for example [2] [3]) and report on stopforumspam. Can you change the block for one year or is not possible?. --Ks-M9 ^｢Talk｣ _(es-wiki) 17:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC).

About Vandalism on Telugu wiki

Hi, My name is Ravi, I am a sysop on Telugu Wikipedia. Recently one of our user was not happy with our community decisions. He is abusing and behaving rudelt with the users. I will give more details about that user. Is it possible to find out if a set of user names, and IP addresses are originated from a single source?--రవిచంద్ర (talk) 10:14, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, through an IP-check we can see the IP-address that a user is connecting from and from that see if the user has created multiple user accounts. The IP-address is considered personal information and is covered by the Privacy policy and will not normally be revealed. You can place a request at Steward requests/Checkuser. -- Tegel _(Talk) 10:32, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

About vandalism on zh-classical wiki

Thanks for your blocking on zh-classical wiki. However, the IP user ‎112.98.16.173, and registered user 12345678987654~zhclassicalwiki is a vandal, too.

Some sock is trolling and trying to get me banned (eyeroll). Every couple weeks, he either creates a global ban request or trolls my TP. I suppose I gotta just roll with it? Purplebackpack89 15:32, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi. You are not the only one that has him as a "friend". We lock the accounts and the underlying IP-address as soon as they are detected.

Since you're the one who blocked that IP, can you extend the duration to a year? It is an open proxy. See this permalink from Commons for evidence. P.S. Please globally block them also for a year, due to cross-wiki abuse. Thanks, Pokéfan95 (talk) 12:22, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

No renaming between November 20 and November 27

Hi,

You’re getting this because you’re a steward or global renamer. The Community Tech team are working on cross-wiki watchlists. We need to add a couple of fields to the localuser table in centralauth database. In order to be able to do this, we’d need to run a script that will get in the way of renaming users. Our apologies – we realize this is getting in the way of your work.

We ask that you do not rename anyone between 00:00 November 20 (UTC) and 00:00 November 27 (UTC).

(UTC means that if you live in the Americas, it will be on the evening or afternoon of November 19 when the script starts running, and if you live in Oceania or eastern Asia, it can be closer midday on November 27 before we can be sure the script is no longer running.)

Phabricator task.

If there are any problems related to this, or you have any questions, please write me on my talk page. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Opted out of global sysops years ago

Hi, we are not a "small wiki" and have opted out years ago from "global sysops" at amwiki, we were incorrectly re-added to the list where global sysops are welcome. We have enough Amharic-fluent sysops to handle vandals. Regards, Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 17:26, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

You only have three admins and that is a small wiki in my book. None of the admins have done any admin actions for 12 days, and then they come up as inactive, even if one admin has done normal edits earlier today. We only deal with vandalism that is ongoing where no admin is active at the moment. This was an IP-address that was blocked on other wikis and went cross-wiki. We are here to help each other. Is there a community consensus that you don't want outside help, or is that your opinion? -- Tegel _(Talk) 17:44, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

We specifically opted out with community consensus. We should not be on the list now. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 18:14, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Could you link to where the request has been placed here on Meta? -- Tegel _(Talk) 18:23, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

https://meta.wikimedia.org/?oldid=2183101#Opt-out_for_Amharic_Wikipedia was the discussion. I've added the wiki back to the wikiset. It is my understanding that once a wiki opts-out, it should not be re-added even if it goes below 10 sysops. However this does not preclude steward activities on the wiki when required. —MarcoAurelio 18:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
