COIBot logged out of meta +++

For the past week plus, the report data are being generated (according to IRC), though unable to be written to meta. IRC has been saying that COIBot is trying to login and write to Meta, though it has been saying that for many many weeks so not a good measure. I have never successfully managed to work out how to get meta login to work.  — billinghurst sDrewth 21:31, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Just came to report this myself, still going on DannyS712 (talk) 19:31, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

LinkWatchers on arwiki

Hi @Beetstra, I need a bot to monitor links on arwiki #wikipedia-ar-spam^connect. Thanks-- Gerges (talk) 14:19, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Linkwatchers

Hi, the linkwatchers haven't output anything to their IRC channels since at least last night. Hopefully nothing's gone awry. -XXBlackburnXx (talk) 23:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations, dear administrator!

Congratulations, Beetstra! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta-Wiki. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Adminstrators 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 Meta:Admin handbook to be useful. Please also check or add your entry to the Template:List of administrators. You're also allowed to subscribe to the metawiki-admins private mailing list (subscription instructions on that page). Again, congratulations and welcome to the team. --M/ (talk) 16:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC) Thanks! As said, I will mainly focus on the spam blacklist and on my bot pages, but may help a bit around other tasks where needed (and I feel comfortable enough). Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 19:48, 2 December 2024 (UTC) @M7, I don't seem to be allowed to connect to #wikimedia-admin, I'm not on invite list? Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 19:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC) Sorry for the delay with your IRC channel question. You have to ask Az1568 or AmandaNP: they have the appropriate bits to have you invited. Ciao, M/ (talk) 13:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC) Can you please provide your NickServ username and cloak and reping me. -- Amanda (she/her) 19:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC) @AmandaNP I'm also user Beetstra on liberachat. Cloak 'user/beetstra'. Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 18:28, 4 December 2024 (UTC) I have added access for you for the time being. That said, I've not added you to the invite bypass list, so you will have to manually invite yourself with ChanServ for now. For security purposes, I will need you to m:IRC/Cloaks obtain a non-user cloak. I can process that as soon as you have submitted. -- Amanda (she/her) 19:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC) @AmandaNP done that, waiting for approval of wikipedia/beetstra Dirk Beetstra T C (en: U, T) 22:20, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Notice of review of adminship (October 2025)

Hello Beetstra,

Pursuant to Meta:Administrators/Removal (inactivity) and because you have made fewer than ten (10) logged administrator actions over the past six (6) months, your adminship is under review at Meta:Administrators/Removal (inactivity)/October 2025. If you would like to retain your adminship, please sign there before October 08, 2025.

Kind regards, M/ (talk) 06:58, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

@M7 it is 19. This is the same over and over. Last time they were removed automatically during an absense .. this should REALLY make more consideration as to why someone is an admin and not some (erratic) bit counting. Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} (en: U, T) 08:41, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the signature and for your clarification. --M/ (talk) 11:02, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

TAIV

Admins already have temporary account IP viewer permissions, you just need to activate your access via your preferences by agreeing to the policy. Granting yourself that user group is redundant to your existing permissions. Johannnes89 (talk) 11:56, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

@Johannnes89 hah, that is it then. I've been trying and trying. Must have missed that in any of the instructions I read .... Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} (en: U, T) 13:03, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
