Please temporarily grant me the pseudo-bot flag so that I can continue using regex typofixing using semi-automated tools without overwhelming RecentChanges. — JJP_Master (she/they) 14:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

@JJPMaster How many edits to you plan to make, and for how long do you foresee needing it? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 15:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Leaderboard, I intend to go through the entirety of Category:Pages needing attention (241 pages) and Category:Books needing formatting (76 pages), but I'm not sure if I can give an exact figure, since I don't know how many of these pages have typos yet. So far, I've made 19 edits. I'd probably need it for no more than 48 hours. — JJP_Master (she/they) 15:30, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Done for 48 hours. I've also given you autoreviewer for a month as otherwise your changes will require unnecessary reviewing (and as a note, please don't do such things in the future if you don't have autoreview or reviewer). Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 15:34, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Leaderboard, thank you for the advice. I have already completed my work, and have removed the pseudo-bot flag from my own account. — JJP_Master (she/they) 20:26, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

I have had to request the importation of many templates and Lua modules from the English Wikipedia using my script primarily for my work at WikiProject Little Star, and none of my requests have been declined, so I'd like to request this permission such that I can perform these importations myself. Additionally, I have noticed that RFI is chronically backlogged, and I would like to help with that. I am aware of how the importation tool works, and have read all of the appropriate information pages. Courtesy ping: @Kittycataclysm (main RFI handler right now).

@JJPMaster Are you aware of this bug? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 02:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@Leaderboard: Yes, I am. However, I don't think it'll be that problematic, since I do not plan on attempting imports requiring history merges, so, unless I'm missing something, I assume I could just move the page to the Template or Module namespace without leaving a redirect. Any more complicated imports would be left to sysops. JJP_Master (she/they) 02:59, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@JJPMaster That works indeed. I'll wait for Kittycataclysm to comment given that you pinged them. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 03:03, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm fine with this! Thank you @JJPMaster for putting this work in—we have been lagging in terms of our technical capacity, and your effort is appreciated. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 04:10, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@Kittycataclysm: You're welcome, and your work is definitely appreciated as well. JJP_Master (she/they) 04:13, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I am asking for temporary adminship for the sake of facilitating the bad transwiki investigation. My use of the admin tools would be strictly limited to (a) deleting pages that I either created or imported, (b) performing partial or complete XML imports of enwiki pages with large histories, (c) selective deletion in the process of history splitting or merging, (d) using MassMessage to inform these pages about the progress of the investigation, and (e) overriding rate limits and/or granting myself the pseudo-bot right when doing (a), (b), (c), or (d). Additionally, I would be allowed to use any admin tool that I currently can use as a non-admin (e.g. transwiki import, Special:MergeHistory, redirect suppression). This would allow me to handle cases more efficiently, since I wouldn't have to put off handling cases where the enwiki page has a large revision history, wait several hours for my CSD requests to be processed, nor use my awkward import-all-revisions-then-selectively-history-merge technique. Also, I could import directly from early enwiki database dumps, because there are some bad transwikis (e.g. Cookbook:Grilled Cheese Sandwich) where there is literally no other record of their existence on enwiki, because they were deleted shortly before a database crash. This adminship would last three months, since MVR implies that that's the minimum length of temporary adminship.

@JJPMaster Just to clarify: MVR does not apply here in that there is no rule that says that you must have three months' adminship as a minimum. MVR applies to those that are not asking for limited adminship per wiki policy, which isn't your case. As a result, clarify on how long you need adminship - it can even be for a few days. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 09:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Leaderboard: I think two weeks would be reasonable in that case. JJP_Master (she/they) 11:28, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Support this seems like a well-defined request in terms of scope and duration. User is communicative and has been contributing significantly to the project. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 02:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Support for the same reason mentioned as above. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 09:01, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

At the suggestion of SHB2000, I'm coming here to request the extension of my temporary adminship, although I will admit that I don't know how long it should be extended. SHB suggested that I request permanent adminship, but I'm not sure if I want to explicitly do that just yet due to my relative inexperience on en.wikibooks in particular. However, I would personally prefer that any extension be unlimited. This means that I would either be in the same situation as Kittycataclysm (adminship that is limited in duration but not scope), or a permanent administrator. This is mainly to avoid what happened here, where my inability to perform blocks led to a significant delay in dealing with a high-speed page creation vandal, and here, where I couldn't delete an unnecessary transwiki, so I had to redirect it to a book that didn't incorporate any content from it. Also, my request for limited adminship was a bit different from previous ones, in that I specifically requested a list of individual tasks that I would be allowed to perform, rather than a broad overarching goal (e.g. combat[ing] LTA or "fighting vandalism"), which meant that (as far as I'm aware), I had to be the first temporary admin to request amendment (WB:AA § Request for expansion of my limited adminship) and clarification (WB:AA § Did this violate the terms of my adminship?) of the terms I had requested.

If the extension is granted, I intend to focus on the same wiki-archaeological stuff I've done as an admin so far (unmerged transwikis, fixing cut-and-paste moves, importations, selective deletions), as well as file copyright cleanup (see the above "Request for expansion..." thread), and technical tasks (handling edit filter false positives, maintaining the MediaWiki namespace, editing sitewide JSON).

Also, I'm sorry for previously asking for two-week adminship. That was probably not a great idea. JJP_Master (she/they) 00:00, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support permanent adminship from what I mentioned earlier. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 00:07, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

• Support extension at the least. I'm hesitant to make you a permanent admin given that you've only been active for about two months here (albeit quite technically active). I feel instinctively like I would want to wait to extend permanent adminship until you've been around consistently for a few more months—I believe I was active for a little over a year before requesting permanent adminship. I won't deny, though, that we would benefit from a few more active admins, especially ones with technical competence. And, you've shown yourself to be communicative and engaged. How about the following?

1. Extension of adminship for a couple months followed by reevaluation;
2. Expansion of scope to include taking care of unambiguous vandalism (e.g. violent/offensive/meaningless content) through temporary blocks and page deletion.

Thoughts? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

@Kittycataclysm:

1. This temporary extension + evaluation LGTM. How many months would this be?
2. I don't know if this expansion will be sufficient, since this would mean that I wouldn't be able to do most of the technical work that I suggested in the request (except for perhaps some edit filter maintenance tasks). If the technical tasks I mentioned were included, the anti-vandalism clause would also allow me to delete other unambiguous CSD cases, and there was a blanket clause that allows me to use any feature for the sake of unambiguous testing (e.g. blocking User:Sandbox for user warnings as a test of Luna), that would probably be fine for now. However, I do want to make sure that I don't have to come to RR/AA asking for new tasks every few weeks (as I recently had to do with the file copyright thing), and that's why I suggested the unlimited aspect at first.

JJP_Master (she/they) 02:03, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

1. How about 6 months? That seems like a good chunk of time to start, followed by application for permanent if all goes well.
2. Very fair! Perhaps no specific limitations, but it would be good to check in with others for things you're not familiar with or that aren't straightforward?

—Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:57, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

This sounds good. It would probably be good for me to ask for intervention from regular admins if I need to handle any ambiguous deletions, for instance. JJP_Master (she/they) 20:08, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
