Superprotect letter update
editHi Krd,
Along with more hundreds of others, you recently signed Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer, which I wrote.
Today, we have 562 signatures here on Meta, and another 61 on change.org, for a total of 623 signatures. Volunteers have fully translated it into 16 languages, and begun other translations. This far exceeds my most optimistic hopes about how many might sign the letter -- I would have been pleased to gain 200 siguatures -- but new signatures continue to come.
I believe this is a significant moment for Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Very rarely have I seen large numbers of people from multiple language and project communities speak with a unified voice. As I understand it, we are unified in a desire for the Wikimedia Foundation to respect -- in actions, in addition to words -- the will of the community who has built the Wikimedia projects for the benefit of all humanity. I strongly believe it is possible to innovate and improve our software tools, together with the Wikimedia Foundation. But substantial changes are necessary in order for us to work together smoothly and productively. I believe this letter identifies important actions that will strongly support those changes.
Have you been discussing these issues in your local community? If so, I think we would all appreciate an update (on the letter's talk page) about how those discussions have gone, and what people are saying. If not, please be bold and start a discussoin on your Village Pump, or in any other venue your project uses -- and then leave a summary of what kind of response you get on the letter's talk page.
Finally, what do you think is the right time, and the right way, to deliver this letter? We could set a date, or establish a threshold of signatures. I have some ideas, but am open to suggestions.
Thank you for your engagement on this issue, and please stay in touch. -Pete F (talk) 18:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
OTRS admin
editI've been busy lately due to the holidays, but I see you've been promoted as an OTRS admin. Congrats! Trijnsteltalk 12:36, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. Promotion is nothing but the permission to do even more work. :) --Krd 14:35, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Filedelinkerbot
editHi Krd. I was pointed by -revi to contact you regarding this thread I've opened in our VP. We're doing file cleanup here at Meta, but once files are deleted, the red links stay in the pages until somebody manually removes them. I was wondering if you could be so kind to run your service in this project too. If yes, I think we all would be very happy. Currently the number of pages with red file links has 1,000+ pages. Thanks in advance for your answer and please allow me to send you seasonal greetings as well. Best regards, -- M\A 21:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Unlink files on local deletion log, unlink files on Commons deletion log, or remove all file redlinks regardless of their origin (which is usually more then 1+2)? In which namespaces? --Krd 08:39, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Krd. Thanks for your reply. For now I had in mind just parsing our local deletion log and then removing those links. However I also think that it'd be good if all red links could be removed regardless their origin. For files from commons, CommonsDelinker seems to be working for now here at Meta. Best regards. -- M\A 18:21, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
- Ok. As said at en:User talk:Krd#Filedelinkerbot, I'd like to rewrite some parts of the code first, which I hope to be done until end of January. --Krd 08:19, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Summary: It has been request to run this bot for local unlinks at metawiki, kowiki and hewiki. Implementation sadly is delayed due to tasks of higher prio. I try to give it a start at metawiki within February 2015. --Krd 03:37, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- No problem with kowiki delayed, (local upload is restricted to uploaders and sysops only, and uploaders are chosen manually) but if possible please delink already-existing broken filelinks. — Revi 04:23, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
- @-revi: I made some test edits, please verify at ko:특수:기여/Filedelinkerbot --Krd 15:13, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- @ערן: hewiki is ready for testing, too. --Krd 18:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Krd, thank you. Would it be possible to run it for a limited run (50 edits or 3 days) on hewiki? thanks, eranroz (talk) 19:19, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- There are three options: a) local deletions b) commons deletions c) removing file redlinks regardless of their origin. Which shall be activated? --Krd 21:14, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- For now only b. Thanks, eranroz (talk) 22:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

OTRS flag for Zache
editHello, I noticed that User:Zache is not a member of the OTRS global group yet, although his name was deleted from the volunteering page. However User:Makele-90 who was deleted from the list at the same time got the flag. Zache didn't get approved or you just forget to request the flag for him? --Stryn (talk) 06:22, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Stryn. There are some other possibilities, e.g. he has been accepted but the acceptance process is not complete, or he has been accepted but doesn't have access to the permissions queues and doesn't need the global flag. For ANON reasons I'm not going to disclose which is the case here, but thank you for the reminder. --Krd 07:18, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
- Of course, thank you. Stryn (talk) 09:06, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
OTRS global flag
editHi Krd, thank you for approval my apply. Since I have access into permissions queues, maybe I should have an OTRS global group rights. Thank you. --minhhuy (talk) 14:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Minh Huy. Although we are not in a hurry I'm going to request it shortly. --Krd 14:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign
If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.
Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

editKrd Hi , Sorry, I do not speak English and used a translator to write.
I guess I was confused with the signing of OTRS Users Confidentiality Agreement - Nonpublic Information and for some reason did not send.
Yesterday talk to GVarnum - WMF By explaining the problem and returned to phabricator, to try to verify finally I signed the document.
Now he says: You signed this document on Sun, Jan 3, 6:10 PM.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused but I had several tickets which had saved in tracking.
As your system Note withdraw me , you think I may request to activate again as OTRS agent . I appreciate your help very much.

Notifying German Wikipedia about cross-wiki/interwiki search results
editHello again, Krd. Aside from the OTRS mess, I wonder whether you can help me translate the below draft for de:Wikipedia:Projektdiskussion. I want to notify the community about the cross-wiki search results going live.
Hello, community of German Wikipedia. For notification, the search results from the following sister projects—Wikivoyage, Wikiversity, Wikinews, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and multimedia results from Wikimedia Commons—are now implemented and live. Simply type either "Deutschland" or "Berlin", and you'll see the results. Neither Wikispecies nor Wikidata is included at the moment, but including the search results from those projects are considered. Please feel free to share your thoughts. You may propose which sister project to include or exclude. Thank you.
I would like your opinions on the above draft for improvements please before posting the German translation. Thanks. --George Ho (talk) 00:30, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

OTRS graph
editHi, https://tools.wmflabs.org/krdbot/otrs/info-small.png is very useful but I've never ever been able to find info-it, whose colour is to my eye practically identical to half a dozen others. Is there some easy way to make it more readable? I've looked for a way to make areas dashed/dotted in various ways but I didn't quickly find one. http://tools.medialab.sciences-po.fr/iwanthue/ for 38 colours seems to produce a better set than the current (when selecting "all colours"), could it be worth trying? --Nemo 19:53, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
- I have now changed the palette. Although it definitely looks ugly, perhaps its better readable this way. Another approach could be to split the graphs for the small info queues into two or three images. Whatever you suggest.--Krd 07:40, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hm yes, maybe better now but I'm not sure. Splitting the graph in three is definitely the best solution, because making 38 colours distinguishable is an almost impossible task (up to 8 it's easy; around 20, most systems give up). But I don't want to add to your maintenance burden! --Nemo 09:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
- I will revert the change and split the graphs (actually create additional split graphs) as soon as possible. May take some days due to holiday. --Krd 21:21, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Splitting the graph in three is definitely the best solution, because making 38 colours distinguishable is an almost impossible task (up to 8 it's easy; around 20, most systems give up). But I don't want to add to your maintenance burden! --Nemo 09:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
OTRS
editHey Krd, I was wondering if you forgot to request global permission for my OTRS? Or is there something else that needs to be done on my end? Thanks! Nihlus 10:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- The global permission does not apply to your account. --Krd 10:07, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. I get it now. It seems to be reserved for those with access to the permissions queue. Thanks! Nihlus 10:16, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Congratulations, Krd! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta-Wiki. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-adminconnect. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta. Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators. You're also allowed to subscribe the metawiki admins private mailing list (to confirm your subscription please email me using the Special:EmailUser function).

Closing of OTRS account
editHi! I was pinged twice here and saw no discussion on the issue. It's true I haven't been very active lately as an OTRS volunteer, so maybe it was for the best. But normally when people are pinged, one's input is welcome. Not here, it seems. And now I can't even access this linked page, as my OTRS account has been closed. That was a bit interesting.
Well, if my (infrequent) help isn't needed anymore, be it. That gives me more time for my other projects at svwp, cawp, WD and Commons. All the best. --Paracel63 (talk) 12:46, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

OTRS member caught as a meatpuppet of a global banned user
editGreetings Krd,
Recently, this user here was recently blocked in pt.wiki (see here) because he admitted to do edits and not block socks of the global banned User:Quintinense. Following this block discussion, the community has decided to desysop him and, due the implications of an user doing "favors" to a globally banned user, I've requested the global block of his account.
For your knowledge

- Krd - what am I supposed to do now to fix what happened? Can you please provide a link or instructions? It was always my intention to remain active, and as I've explained, my lack of recent activity was partially due to the fact that our agent staffing is much better now and what used to be a perpetual backlog of unanswered tickets has dwindled. Given that the notice went to a non-current email address, I agree with Sphilbrick and believe the best option would be for OTRS to update my email address (but it appears that was recently done because I received an email from you) and start the clock over. Please advise. Atsme📞📧 14:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

- Hi, Krd - by any chance, were you able to correct the issue with my email address so that I can receive notices? I see that you removed my name from the list of volunteers on Feb 1st so does that indicate a decision by the OTRS admins to not restore my status? Atsme📞📧 13:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- You have been removed from OTRS as inactive per policy during routine process. What we are discussing is if reinstating is an option. I said above that I offer to leave this decision up to another OTRS admin, as I had the impression that you felt being treated in any unfair or out of policy way. Sadly there is no decision from any uninvolved admin yet, so there is no update here. --Krd 14:40, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your explanation. I'm just anxious to get back to work, especially now that I have some extra time on my hands to deal with tickets, although I've been pretty active on the permissions end of OTRS, licensing, copyvio, and helping users with uploads before they become tickets. I considered it a preventative measure to reduce the number of tickets that wind up at permissions/OTRS. Unfortunately, there's no way to document that type of work. All of this could have been avoided had I simply received your emails in the beginning. I would like to know for certain that the email address that OTRS has on file now is the correct one so that the same problem doesn't reoccur. I'm assuming that it has been changed because you sent me notice of removing that right. I just don't understand why the old address was used for the notices and did not update when I updated META, OTRS, the listservs, Commons, & en.WP; it's a head scratcher.

Krd, you did the same thing to me last year after I had joined OTRS almost five years earlier in response to a request for help. Although I found the OTRS instructions sketchy and unclaimed tickets difficult to find (the same few clerks seemed to claim most of the tickets, which then seemed to languish in the queue), I would log in about once a month, search for an open ticket and answer it. I received only one email notification of "inactivity"; I logged into OTRS, but the next time I tried to log in the screen said that my account had been closed. I guess OTRS has plenty of help, because this is not how you retain volunteers; I certainly won't offer my services again. Miniapolis 19:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
OTRS AZ
editHello Krd. We, as the Azerbaijani Wikipedia community, want to create an Azerbaijani-language branch of OTRS. Is this possible? When you search for "Azerbaijan" on OTRS, tickets related to the topic appear. I think these are some of the tickets, so if we look deeper, additional tickets may appear. Wikipedia is also frequently shared in the Azerbaijani segment of social networks. That is, people are looking for answers to their questions. As the Azerbaijani Wikipedia community, we want to have an official e-mail address. A consensus has been reached on the issue.--Turkmen talk 18:02, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

And I invite users who want to work in OTRS to the "OTRS/Volunteering" page.Is it appropriate? --Turkmen talk 22:15, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Okay. Turkmen talk 19:56, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hello again. If the migration is over, can I announce in the village pumb? Can I redirect users to the OTRS/Volunteering page?--Turkmen talk 19:41, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yes please. --Krd 04:43, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- I announced. Thank you for your attention and help.--Turkmen talk 12:07, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- People who are already on OTRS please request additional access via OTRS wiki. Your application at OTRS/Volunteering is not required. --Krd 12:14, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Okay. I applied on the Administrator requests page.--Turkmen talk 17:50, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

My VRT account has been closed
editHello. I received an email that I was unsubscribed from the VRT mailing list. I also cannot login to my VRT account (User:4nn1l2) because it "has been closed, most likely due to inactivity." I have been active as recent as 5 June 2021. I was also active in both mailing lists discussions and the VRT wiki itself. My SUL account still shows that I am a member of the team. I couldn't find anyone asking the removal of my access in Steward requests/Global permissions/2021-08 or Steward requests/Global permissions/2021-07 either. What has happened? Thanks 4nn1l2 (talk) 19:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Dear 4nn1l2, this has been done on request of the WMF, related to Special:Diff/21925170. Please contact WMF legal for details. --Krd 06:38, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. Just one more question: Do you require the VRT applicants to announce their country of residence when they apply to become VRT agents? 4nn1l2 (talk) 12:32, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- As far as I know, we don't. But it may happen that this will be required in the future. Please note that this is a sole WMF decision. I believe they have good reason, but I don't know the details. For anything further I suggest to ask them directly. --Krd 12:35, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Possible inactive VRT users
editThere are two users, User:Tommyang and User:范, which is listed in Volunteer Response Team/Users, but not active on-wiki for several (about two) years. Are they still active in VRT? Are their NDA still valid (which may be affected by recent policy changes)?--GZWDer (talk) 15:28, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Good point. There are a few roles that are exempt the from VRT internal activity monitoring, because the related queues are in very good standing and it may be difficult for an agent to catch a ticket they can work on. But this of course leave some real inactivities undetected, so I will change this now accordingly. Thank you for the heads-up.
- Of course I cannot make any public statement about NDA issues. --Krd 15:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Note 范 was formerly an OS but is desysoped and deoversighted in January 2017 (4 years ago). Also there are possibly much more users affected by policy change (see zh:Wikipedia:志愿者回复团队#名单, but I can not point out anyone that is surely living in Mainland China; many are mainland Chinese citizens living abroad). --GZWDer (talk) 15:56, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- The policy change enforcement is currently done by WMF directly. In this respect VRT admins are acting on their order only. --Krd 16:03, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Notice of review of adminship
editHello Krd. In accordance with Meta:Administrators/Removal and because it looks that you have made fewer than ten logged administrator actions over the past six months, your adminship is under review at Meta:Administrators/Removal/October 2021. If you would like to retain your adminship, please kindly sign there before October 16, 2021. Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:04, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Title blacklist
editAdd the title "Facebook.comfavebook.comfacebook.com" to the title blacklist to prevent nonsense pages like the old deleted one with the title from being created. Thanks! --TylerMagee (talk) 21:27, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- The page has been created only once, do you have additional examples the qualify for a title blacklist entry? --Krd 08:27, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- Here are some examples of why:
- The subject does not fit the topic of any Wikimedia project, including Meta, Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikitionary, and MediaWiki.org.
- The title is used exclusively for libel and spam pages.
- It distrupts the Wikimedians and Wikipedians.
- Here are some examples of why:
- Also, indefinitely globally lock the IP or user that created the page and place
{{Indefblocked}}
on their talk page. I am usally not trying to troll you by placing a false block messqge on your talk - I used "nowiki", which disables wikitext.
- Also, indefinitely globally lock the IP or user that created the page and place
- --TylerMagee (talk) 09:10, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think the issue has already settled and no further action is required. If you disagree, please advise what I am missing. --Krd 09:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- You can create protect it instead. I will recreate the page with a creation protection request template and set the level to full to allow only admins to create it. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by TylerMagee (talk) 09:23, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

update
editHi, Could you please update VRT list, and remove both Freedom's Falcon and Fjmustak. Thanks.--Faisal talk 20:58, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- The list will be updated once a month. Is there any special need for immediate action? --Krd 22:09, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- No, but they should have been removed a few months ago I guess, and that's just a reminder to remove them with the nearest update.--Faisal talk 10:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- The mentioned accounts are still VRTS users. --Krd 14:02, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
editHi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Removing my VRT request
editHello Krd,
I noticed that you have removed my VRT request without any mail justifying it. Can you please explain. --Contributers2020Talk to me here 13:11, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

- Just mail at c2020wmc@gmail.com or tell on the talk page because I completely not understand why it was declined.--Contributers2020Talk to me here 13:33, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Inactive users
editHello. Considering that this RfC is likely failed at this stage, could you please (if you want and have time of course) amend the script populating User:Krd/inactive users to use the current Meta:Administrators/Removal criteria? This is so I can prepare for the upcoming April 1, 2022 inactivity review. For clarify, this still affects administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers and oversighters. Interface administrators do have a bit different criteria. See Meta:Interface administrators §§ Activity requirements and Involuntary removal. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Stay safe and healthy. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:06, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- That will take a few days, but think it should be possible until 1 April. --Krd 16:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Chances are still good that this will get finished in time, i.e. today. Will keep you updated in any case. --Krd 05:43, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- See: User:Krd/inactive admins Will be updated tomorrow morning and then every 6 months. Please double check for the first time. --Krd 11:19, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
