Extension:MobileFrontend/Deployments/2012-06-24

Hi. Extension:MobileFrontend/Deployments/2012-06-24 seems mis-named. Did you really intend 2012-06-24? --MZMcBride (talk) 04:22, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Good catch - thanks MZ! I just moved the page to 2012-07-24. Arthur Richards (talk) 16:58, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Glad to know you liked the Signpost android App. Hoping to meet you at the bangalore DevCamp. Shankar Narayan (talk)

Old mails on Tools

On Tools, the tool accounts bingle and bugello have 2037 and 4068 old mails in storage from when mail wasn't immediately forwarded to the maintainers' addresses. All mail is from March 9th to 14th, and most appear to be of the type "Your job 8774 ('bingle-analytics') has been submitted".

1. I could respool these messages to any mail address or group of such (I don't think the default "all maintainers" would be useful in this case given that bugello has three and bingle seven who may not all be interested in 2000 or 4000 mails :-)).
2. You (or another maintainer) could log into Tools, become bingle/become bugello and use mail or another command-line mail client to sort through them.
3. I could move the mailboxes to the tools' home directories, so you (or another maintainer) could view them, edit them, delete them.

Do you have any preference? --Tim Landscheidt 03:16, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Tim, thanks for reaching out. They are almost all certainly from cron and at this point would not be useful. IMO it should be safe to just delete them all. If you're uncomfortable with that, feel free to move the mailboxes to the tools' home dir and I can take care of it. Thanks again :D Arthur Richards (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't have been entirely uncomfortable with that, but it's always nice to leave deleting for someone else :-). I've moved the mailboxes to mbox in the tools' respective home directories. --Tim Landscheidt 02:35, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Cool - I entirely understand. Thanks a ton, Tim :D Arthur Richards (talk) 17:49, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Notice: Admin activity review

Hello Awjrichards,

I hope that this message finds you well.

I am writing to inform you that you may lose your adminship (and other advanced permissions) on mediawiki.org because of inactivity.

A policy regarding the removal of advanced permissions (e.g.: administrator, bureaucrat, interface-admin, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. While initially that policy did not apply to this site, the mediawiki.org community decided in August 2020 to opt-in.

You are being notified because we have identified that your account meets the inactivity criteria stated in the policy: no edits and no administrative log actions for the last 2 years.

• If you want to keep your advanced permissions, you should inform the community (at Project:Current issues) about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. A community notice about this process has been also posted on said page. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your advanced permissions, please contact the stewards at the stewards noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish for you to continue to maintain your advanced permissions.
• If you wish to resign your advanced permissions, you may do so by filing a request for removal on Meta-Wiki.
• If there is no response at all on one month after this notification, the stewards will proceed to remove your advanced permissions without further notice.

In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review.

If you have any questions, please let me know or feel free to message us at the stewards. If you feel we've made a mistake and your account is active, we'd also appreciate to let us know, and please accept our apologies.

Best regards,
--MarcoAurelio (talk) (via MassMessage) 22:13, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, today your admin flag has been removed. Einsbor (talk) 08:40, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
