Linja 41:
:Hello, I saw you on meta. Congrats for your appointment and sorry for your waiting. Right now I called stewards online on irc, but both of them were away; perhaps someone would see your request after the Easter holiday is over ... anyway have you considered to request for not only sysopship but also bureaucratship? I am also a sysop on a tiny project, Japanese Wikiquote, and currently found it is annoying we have no bureaucrat on the project, particularly in case a candidate was approved but no steward was available. Nowadays many projects, like newly created Wikinews start with a sysop and bureaucrat. And I think it is a good idea; you can avoid visiting meta only for request for permission. --[[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 16:55, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
::I asked for just sysop but was granted both.
Congrats. I saw your comment to Node on meta. In my personal opinion you are not necessary to care for any anonymous comments, but perhaps it would be better for us that you waited a week after requesting for sysopship. But I don't think there were something wrong. It is much better to do something even with some tweaks than do nothing.
My main topic: we can't unproect MediaWiki messages, if I recall correctly. Since MediaWiki 1.3 all files under MediaWiki namespace are protected preventing vandalism. If you want to let ordinary users edit those files, you can put their content in another namespace and have them edit the latter as below:
*write <nowiki>{{Wikipedia:Recentchangestext}}</nowiki> in [[MediaWiki:Recentchangestext]]
*Edit [[Wikipedia:Recentchangestext]]
*Then appear the content of the latter as the content of the former.
But in my opinion it is absurd to deal with all MediaWiki files in this way. There are over 100 files in that namespace.
