Welcome to Meta!

Hello, Shanmugamp7/Archive 1. Welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). Happy editing!

Terms of use/Banner/ta

Thank you for your translation, could you please revisit the page to set the status? Now it's unset yet, so I'm not sure if you want to work on it further or happy to publish. Cheers, --Aphaia (talk) 05:51, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi thank you for welcome. I have finished the translation. you can publish it now. How can i set status in that page?--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 06:54, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, now published. For setting status, visit the page and see the right and middle of the page. You'll find a pull-down menu (default: unset). Then select one from "in progress" to "ready" and then click the "set" button. Now it's published so you have not to touch it again, just for your further reference. Hope that helps :) --Aphaia (talk) 09:18, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Now i understood. Thank you....--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 13:08, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Translation of April Wikimedia Highlights

Hi Shanmugamp7,

thanks for contributing the Tamil translation of the current Wikimedia Highlights! Note that has been a small correction in the Financials section of the original which would be good to be reflected in the translated version. As noted on Translators-l, it is planned to announce completed translations tomorrow (Wednesday), do you think this might be sufficient time to complete the Tamil version? (Feel free to point out translation difficulties or ask clarification questions on the talk page.)

Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 12:28, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tbayer, I will do the correction now, and moreover i finished the translation, some 2 or 3 sections only remaining. I'll finish as soon as possible--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 12:33, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

A little change

Hi. I've made a little change on a subpage of yours. Delete template was sending it to deletion. I've used 'nowiki', but it shouldn't make any difference on the usage of that script. Regards.‴ Teles «Talk ˱_{@ L C S}˲» 01:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Teles--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 02:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your translations

Dear Shanmugamp7:

Thank you for helping to translate the WMF Grants program pages on Meta. Thanks to your efforts, these programs will be accessible to more people all over the world. We would like to send you something in appreciation of your work, so please contact us by Email at grants at wikimedia dot org with your name, shirt size (optional), address for delivery (not a PO Box), and telephone number (for delivery).

We would also like to let you know that our programs are growing and we will need to make some significant changes to these program pages in the next few weeks. When this happens, these pages may need to be retranslated, although much of the new text will be identical or similar to the text you've already translated: you've already translated this text, so you'd be able to copy and paste much from your existing translation. Please consider continuing to support the movement's work in this area, and please continue to let your multilingual friends and colleagues know that this support is still needed as our programs grow!

Please also let us know if you have any feedback for us: it's always welcome.

With appreciation,

Hi Goldenburg111, Thanks for your contributions but I guess you have used Google translate which has very poor quality. Please avoid using machine translation tools for Tamil. I will try to proofread and fix Grants:Index/ta. You are always welcome to contribute to Tamil wiki but please do not use machine translation tools :), you can do maintenance works like adding category, templates, etc..

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

Deutsch | English | español | français | italiano | 한국어 | Nederlands | português | Türkçe | русский | العربية | Tiếng Việt | edit

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our budget is smaller than Commons)

Shanmugamp7, congratulations! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta. 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-admin @ irc.freenode.net. 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.

Congratulations!

Hello Shanmugamp7,

On behalf of the stewards' election committee, congratulations on your election as a steward! Your permissions have now been set and you are able to start working.

You have been added to the list of stewards and the stewards' chart. Please take a moment to check that your details are accurate and update them if necessary.

You have been given access to the mailing lists related to your steward duties, which include: checkuser-l, the private mailing list for Wikimedia checkusers, stewards-l, the private list for stewards. In addition, you have been or will be given access to the related private wikis, one for checkusers and the other solely for stewards, details of which will be provided.

If you use IRC, you will be given access to several channels, including #wikimedia-checkuser^connect and #wikimedia-privacy^connect. Please also idle in #wikimedia-stewards^connect when you are available for duty.

Best of luck with your new tools; I am sure you will do a fantastic job. Please remember that your fellow stewards are always available if you need a second opinion, either via the mailing list or on IRC.

Useful links:

• Stewards policy
• Steward handbook
• Steward requests

Problem concerning forgotten passwords

Hello Mr/Ms Steward. I have a problem that I don't know where to ask for help so I decided to post here. My problem is that I have just changed my password yesterday and now I can't remember the new password. I also have not added an valid email for my account (my bad) so I am hopeless now. Could you help me or direct me to a appropriate place to ask for assistance? My account is vi:User:Conongchamchi.--Conongchamchi 04:39, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Global account

Hi! Sorry for bothering you on your user discussion but I don't know how can I solve my problem. I changed my username to another on Polish Wikipedia (pl:User:Skrzeczu94 -> pl:User:Tufor). Before this change I had global acoount and was thinking that nobody's got account "Tufor" on another Wiki. But on en:wiki there was somebody who in deed had that username and made 3 contributions (in 2007) to the Project. So I ended up with account only on Polish Wikipedia and I would like to still have global account. I hope you can tell me what to do, where to write a request. Thanks in advance. 77.253.249.233 10:29, 17 April 2014 (UTC) (pl:User:Tufor)

Hi Tufor, Please follow the steps mentioned in this page for usurpations on English Wikipedia. As per sulutil:Tufor you need to usurp on rowiki also if the existing account is not yours. Please check Sul#How_to_unify_your_accounts for Unification--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 10:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I already have usurped "Tufor" nickname on en wiki and it's just a matter of time on ro wiki. But still have one little question. I have some contributions made as "Skrzeczu94" at other projects, like commons (link) and it's not "transfered" to nickname "Tufor". So when I unify my accounts the way you told me, would I have username "Tufor" on some of them and "Skrzeczu94" on the rest? 77.253.249.233 20:46, 21 April 2014 (UTC) (pl:User:Tufor)

If you want commons edits to be carried to your new account, you need to rename there as well. If you unify your new account ("Tufor") you can use that account in all wikis but the old account will also be available on the wikis where you didn't rename.--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 05:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Translate some names for hundreds software projects including MediaWiki

Hello, I'm writing you because you subscribed to a Language support team. As you know, Wikimedia projects exist in almost 300 languages; supporting them all is a big effort so we partner with other organisations. One small but visible thing we miss is that many interwiki links in sidebar (among others) don't offer a translation of the language name when hovered. We're now able to translate 100 more language names in your language.

If you're interested, I can create you an account to submit translations on the CLDR web tool (within June 14): please send an email to ask one and I'll follow up with instructions. On CLDR you can translate and tweak many other things, if you desire; your work will impact hundreds of software projects. Thanks, Nemo 17:58, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decitions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

If you're requesting the removal of your own permissions, make sure you're logged in to your account. If you have multiple flags, specify which you want removed. Stewards may delay your request a short time to ensure you have time to rethink your request (see previous discussion on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed. Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access--6AND5 (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

@Աշոտ1997: Apart from what 6AND5 said, If there is no local crat's, after a community discussion/vote, you can request stewards at SRP to reinstate the removed permissions. Stewards will reinstate the permissions if community consensus exists--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 04:09, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia of opinions

Dear Mr. Shanmugam,

Hope you are doing good and trust that this message finds you well.

I, along with a few friends, are working on trying to create a Wikipedia for opinions. We are truly inspired by what Wikipedia has done and how it has benefited the world when it comes to representing neutral information. We want to attempt something in the same spirit for opinions and issues. Since you are someone who is a prolific editor of the Tamil and English Wikipedia, it would be immensely helpful if we could talk to you and get your guidance and feedback on what we are attempting. If you can provide me your email id, I can tell you about the idea in detail and seek your advice on how to proceed. My email id is santosh.sundaresan@yifp.in or snth247@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon sir.

Regards, Santosh Sundaresan

Central notice for wiki loves food

Howdy. I saw you created/turned on the wikil loves food campaign. I would like to suggest/request you lower the priority of these banners, they are showing up a lot in India (I'm sure you already know, just in case you don't). I don't know about any new developments recently, but I think banner fatigue was something the staff and the community wanted to avoid. This particular banner is showing up a hell of a lot for a lot of people (possibly hundred(s) of million of viewers). It's easy sometimes overlook how much visibility this gets and when that visibility crosses the line into an annoyance. Anyway, I'd just request lowering the priority (it was weightage earlier I think....) for india specific campaigns. I'll leave a similar message for ravi (I didn't see any priority specific request from ravi in his RFH). If you were only acting on his request, please do still keep my point in mind. Thanks. Kind regards. Theo10011 (talk) 20:27, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Theo10011, I kept high priority for this campaign as other campaigns already had high priority, it won't show up at all if we didn't keep high. There is some option called 'Limit Traffic', I think we can use that and reduce the traffic but the other campaigns should also reduce the traffic, else you will see one or the other. Anyhow this campaign is going to end tomorrow, so i am not reducing traffic now, will keep it in mind for the next campaign--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 02:25, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks shanmugamp, much appreciated. I see your point and I'm glad to know you will keep my point in mind for future campaigns. King regards. Theo10011 (talk) 20:12, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December

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 anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. 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 (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Back in February I emailed the CN-admin list regarding part of my role to look into the Central Notice process and see where we could make improvements including: the campaign process; its functionality or lack thereof; and fundamentally the documentation that supports it. You can see many of the issues that I identified at CentralNotice/Process_Review. If there is anything additional that you feel has been left out then please feel free to leave any comments on the talk page.

My first task is to improve the requesting of campaigns by communities and affiliates. I am looking to set up a more formal request process, similar to those used in many projects. The aim is to: increase the transparency of Central Notice; improve the support provided to affiliates (including making such support more consistent); to provide a forum for community input into campaigns.

I have been working on a very rough strawman version of the process and I would be interested in hearing you comments about what such a process should involve and what you think it would require. Please feel free to leave such comments at the process talk page section. I would like to have a working page in place by the end of May. This would not need to be a final version. The process can be improved upon over time as we learn about how well it works.

Given your role as a Meta Administrator who is active in the area of Central Notice, I encourage you to:

• Review the strawman request page and request template and make changes as you feel necessary
• Leave comments
• Join the centralnotice-admins mailing list
• Feel free to contact me to discuss this further via: my talk page, jseddonwikimedia.org or on IRC (Nick: Seddon)

Regards

Me too. Why do block 10000s of Internet addresses when only one IP is a problem? That's blatant censorship, what does EFF think?

My IP has been blocked

Why you have blocked my IP? I'm not so much techie person . I really don't understand what is the problem in my IP & also I don't know about the open proxy... Please tell me how to prevent this IP blockage ?Indefatigable tanija (talk) 21:14, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

could you please provide the full block message that you are getting, so that I can assist you with the block, also if you don't want reveal the ip you can email me using Email this user link on the sidebar --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 03:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

My account was also blocked and directed to this user.

Here's the message I've received:

Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis.

The block was made by Shanmugamp7 (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy: + spam from 155.254.192.226; soften Ticket#2015080910000253.

Start of block: 15:47, 24 December 2015 Expiration of block: 17:22, 27 March 2020 You can contact Shanmugamp7 to discuss the block.

Me too. Why do block 10000s of Internet addresses when only one IP is a problem? That's blatant censorship, what does EFF think?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 155.254.86.18 (talk)

The IP range is blocked because of m:NOP. The block was initially made by another steward so i am not sure how many ip's are abused. I have softened the block long back to allow logged in users to edit. Please create an account and continue your editing. Please let me know if you still have any issues. --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 05:16, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Issue on EnWiki

Dear Shanmugamp7, I see you are online, hope you can help me out with an issue with my account on en.wikipedia.org. During my last edit there, I made an error, and submitted a javascript to my user subpage w:en:User:Dan Koehl/common.js, which makes me looping around once I enter Enwiki, can you just revert my last edit, or go back in the history and save the version before I inserted that javascript, thanks,

I think this was the eveil script, which makes it impossible for me to enter EnWiki:

Hi! A month ago you said you'd look at this list of Tamil words. Things don't always go as we plan of course, but I just wanted to know if you still plan to do so? /Johan (WMF) (talk) 14:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Hey Sorry Johan (WMF), I forgot about that. will do it. Generated list seems mostly unrelated, i have to manually create it. Also its difficult to create informal words list since our writing and specking style is bit different, and we might need to consider the words we use for speaking as informal in writing :)--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 15:43, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Johan (WMF), I'm done with the words list. As i said earlier its very difficult to list the informal words. I will update the list whenever i come across any other words :). --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 17:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Also i have checked the generated words list,it seems they are unrelated.--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 17:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the global lock. I'd been rather frantically searching through Stewards to request a lock-or-desysop, looking for anyone who had been active today, and I wasn't finding anyone — I was afraid we'd be back to Robdurbar (only while writing this message now did I remember that bureaucrats can handle desysops now) with nothing we could do about it until someone found a steward. Nyttend (talk) 13:15, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

You are welcome. I have sent him an email as well. You can easily find active stewards on IRC channel #wikimedia-stewards^connect--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 13:19, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Do you have edit rights at the Foundation wiki? Legoktm deleted the main page and replaced it with a new message. Nyttend (talk) 13:25, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Oh. No, i dont have access to foundation wiki, will try to ping some staffs.--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 13:26, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! The account's still going crazy; a lot of staff accounts' userpages have been moved around, for example. Nyttend (talk) 13:29, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Krenair is looking into it. --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 13:36, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Alex Monk has also been helping (he moved the main page back from modulespace), but the hacker's still controlling the account and has started move-warring with Alex; the main page is in gadget definition talk space at the moment. Jimbo made an edit at his en:wp talk page a few minutes ago, so I asked him to go to Foundation and help clean up. Nyttend (talk) 13:39, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Krenair and Alex are same --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 13:41, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Ah, okay. He's finally deactivated Legoktm's account. Nyttend (talk) 13:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

PS, could you add https://ourmine.org to the global spam blacklist, with whitelisting (if possible) for en:OurMine and a willingness to whitelist it for any other Wikipedias that might create articles on the group in the future? Nyttend (talk) 15:08, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

I am not sure blacklisting that domain will serve any purpose, but we can propose this on the Talk:Spam_blacklist, also it can only be white-listed on each wiki en:MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist, not at the global level--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 15:17, 12 November 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)

Request of adminship

Hi, I recently requested adminship status and Steward Nahid told me it was due on 18th Nov 2016. Could you approve it for me? For evidence it's here cheers--Trunzep (talk) 06:11, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Done by Nahid --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 09:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Global locks; not a compromised-account situation

Question about the global locks process: I don't want to make a formal request, because I'm guessing that it's not (yet?) warranted, and I don't want the user in question to see this as a harassment attempt.

As detailed at d:Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard#User:Swineposit and en:Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Mass_.28and_probably_multilingual.29_addition_of_unsourced_birth_dates.2C_etc, User:Swineposit has been introducing large amounts of birth/death information to individuals' biographies across many Wikipedias — no problem per se, of course, but this information is typically self-contradictory. For example, as noted by User:Hoary at en:WP:AN, on 11 November Swineposit added birth dates to seven Wikipedias' articles about Dimitrios Maximos (Wikidata link), but significantly different dates: to English and Greek he added 27 March (he also added this date to French on the 15th), to Portuguese and Russian he added 21 March, the Italian he added 17 March, to Dutch he added 3 March, and to Spanish he added 27 February. The WP:AN and WD:AN pages contain lots of information about similar self-contradictory editing on lots of other biographies on lots of other Wikipedias.

Is this something where it could potentially be reasonable to request a global lock? In other words, if I made such a request, would it be considered, or would such a request get an obvious and very quick "no way"? As Hoary notes, it seems reasonable to request a global block for an IP that's doing this kind of thing. This definitely seems like obviously are otherwise being disruptive on multiple wikis, and he's so far gotten one indefinite block and is likely to get a block at Wikidata as well, although I'm unsure of whether he's facing any additional sanctions at other wikis at the moment. My biggest concern is activity — other than leaving some notes at his en:wp talk page over the last few days, his global contributions show that his last edits to any project were on 15 November. Aside from all else I'm thinking that this might automatically make him a non-candidate — thus my reluctance to make a formal request. Nyttend (talk) 22:50, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

This can be considered as disruptive editing, but mostly as a general rule we (I) will only lock if they are indef blocked on multiple projects . Since they didn't continue this behavior after the block on en wiki, i think we can wait and monitor his contributions. Global lock should be considered as last resort because it will not even allow the user to login. --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 07:12, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the guidance! Nyttend (talk) 22:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
