New rights
Hey Tazenda (and congratulations on your new role)! I think because this was community-decided and not a full "traditional adoption" via CC, inactive admins/bureaucrats weren't removed once the rights were given. As a wiki manager I can remove the bureaucrat rights once requested and will do so right now. Feel free to remove the administrator rights.

I'm also able to assign the bot role, but I have to ask the reason why it's necessary - is it for maintenance edits?

Also, thanks for informing about the spammer - seems we have a persistent one. Did the VSTF mention anything about it on your request? I know now you're equipped to protect the wiki, but it's still annoying. If it becomes very persistent, I was going to suggest possibly disabling article comments, as it's the only place they're attacking - that way anonymous users can still edit (and not all of them edit in bad faith).

 * You're right, those pages do get overloaded in those cases - and seeing as the spammer may still be present, I have given bot rights to Tazenda-Bot. Playsonic2 14:42, June 17, 2019 (UTC)

Discussion mod
Hello there,

I'm here to propose an offer to you. I wish to be a discussion moderator on the twilight wiki. Although, I'm new here but I have some moderating experience as I moderate the Pottermore and Clash of clans wiki. So, it will be great if you could give me additional rights on the wiki? Hope you will grant my request. Newt Strike (talk) 05:46, June 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hey thank you for responding. I can understand what you mean and yes, I will continue participating on the Dboard. Although, at the moment it's not very active and messed up with repeated question/polls like "Team Jacob or Edward". And yeah, I will be in touch with you. Take your time to establish the Dboard as well. Thanks.

Re: Bot
I'm glad to hear that - were those all previous attacks? I saw you were taking care of those in recent changes and was afraid the wiki just had been attacked again.

By the way, I just added a beta functionality that includes some helpful videos for new editors (at Special:Community), it's something that is currently being tested and I felt Twilight Wiki could benefit. It can always be removed if you guys don't like it, though! Playsonic2 09:24, June 19, 2019 (UTC)

RE:Saxon genitive
Ah okay, I was not aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers. Newt Strike (talk) 04:44, June 21, 2019 (UTC)

MediaWiki upgrade
Hey Tazenda, I just wanted to share this staff blog post, which you may have seen promoted across Fandom. It explains Fandom's upcoming efforts in upgrading to a modern version of MediaWiki -- quite significant news to all communities! Playsonic2 10:02, June 21, 2019 (UTC)
