Hi, after several weeks, I have already been able to log in to Gerrit.

Similar to T216605 .

Did both of you login previously within the last week fine?

@AlvaroMolina: In addition, can you please also try logging in with lower case spelling of the first character of your username, if you used a capital first letter before?

Thanks!

@Aklapper Thanks! I've finally managed to create the paste P6383

If he has access to the form, I could privately give @Aklapper the text (by IRC or mail) so he could create the paste and speed it up.

Thanks , I've updated the steps so they should work now.

@Aklapper I followed that page before arriving here, however, the procedures on that page are outdated since, for example, the link in the second step does not work. On the other hand, I have a Committed Identity on my user page in Meta, I do not know if it is possible to do anything with that.

@Mainframe98: I've already given you the global permission that allows you to manage restricted abuse filters. Regards.

@Mainframe98: I've given you the administrator permission on the Beta Cluster so that you can act for yourself in case you encounter such situations. I close this task because the spam has already been removed and the accounts have been globally locked, if you have access to the restricted abuse filters, it would be appreciated that you could implement them so that it is not so easy to spam there. Regards.

Done, although the user does not have much trajectory in Wikimedia, I have seen its work in other external wikis and I do not see problem by now. Please use the permission wisely. Regards.

@Trizek-WMF: I have given you the administrator permission in Test Wikipedia so that you can work more comfortably with the resolution of this task.

@WhitePhosphorus: Done Here.

The Spanish language is not yet available on the bot, even though the translation was merged into GitHub.

I think the option here is to wait for Portuguese Wikivoyage to get local bureaucrats or, in its absence, to appoint the stewards to take over this permission on the wiki in the same way that is done with the administrator's permission.

This wiki does not have local bureaucrats and I am not sure if the developers/stewards will agree that the 3 admins there can grant and remove this permission (since it allows editing the CSS and JS of the other users and the MediaWiki namespace).

Hi, thank you for your request! I have only small question. Who should be able to grant and revoke it? Otherwise you'll need to go to stewards everytime.

I finally got access, WinSCP had deleted the SSH public key file I had set in the settings. Thank you anyway.

@AlvaroMolina can you provide more details?

What is the configuration of your setup? What VM are you trying to get into? Can you SSH into the bastion directly? What bastion do you have configured? Do you have more detailed logs of a connection attempt?

The file /data/project/alvaro/replica.my.cnf is readable by the tool itself:

scfc@tools-bastion-03:~$ ls -l ~tools.alvaro/replica.my.cnf 
-r-------- 1 tools.alvaro tools.alvaro 52 Apr 25  2016 /data/project/alvaro/replica.my.cnf
scfc@tools-bastion-03:~$

So you can become alvaro and, for example, cat replica.my.cnf.

(BTW, regarding "I need the credentials of my database to install MediaWiki on my server for testing purposes", I'm not sure what that means, but it's probably wrong to try and won't work anyway.)

There is no consensus for habilitation.

This special page is a part of FlaggedRevs (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs) so this extension must be enabled. Enabling an extension is a site configuration change and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes should be followed in this case.

In brief

1. Discuss it on-wiki and link to that discussion here.
2. Say the result here.
3. Your request will be processed if there is a community consensus.

Until the discussion is completed this is blocked on community so I'm marking it this way.

There are several users (including me) who use an image as part of their signature, I believe that this aspect should not be banned altogether (at least not at the software level). I personally since my beginnings in Wikimedia projects I use my image and I have never been questioned that anywhere.

The request was never taken care of after 2 months of having taken place, besides, I do not have at present a real necessity in that it is realized in the short term. Thank you anyway.
