Thread:Support/Admin_rights#Admin_rights_10615: May I get admin rights (probation) for giving translator rights for new users?

 Done Please obey this list of guidelines (also see past requests at Project:Translator):

• each request is acknowledged, granted or not.
  • Granted requires reply " Done" and a small welcome. I usually use plain "Welcome!".
• requests are not granted if no e-mail confirmed and no user page created. Red user page link should be replied with a link to Special:FirstSteps
• requests are not granted if the signature does not lead to user (talk) page.
• user page with babel, but no e-mail confirmed: granted, and ask them to confirm their e-mail address (with reference to Special:FirstSteps.
• fix up the user page if you can (de-duplicate multiple babel templates, and stuff).
• grant requests with reason [[portal:LANGUAGECODE|LANGUAGECODE]]. See Special:Log/rights for examples.
• do not give out offline translator rights before 100 contributions.
• do not give out sysop or bureaucrat without talking to a staff member.
• We've dealt with vandalous accounts/translator requests for ru/uk a while ago. Be positively suspicious about requests for those languages.
• When in doubt, ask a staff member (talk page, IRC, e-mail, whatever), and delay granting rights.

Feel free to check up on recent contributions of recently created accounts without a request, or granted accounts without edits. Send them a friendly mail and a message on their talk page inviting them to start translating and offer help through support. If granted users have made a few edits, compliment them on their contributions; they are valuable, we appreciate them, etc. Be at least a bit original, don't "template" them. I *think* these personal touches helps to keep (more) translators motivated and contributing.

Clear? :)

Thank. Clear.

1 question. User create user page, but do not request translator rights on Project:Translator. May I give translator rights?

Best not. We need a user to prove he understands what is asked of him. If you want to do anything, I see two things you can do:

• write a little note on the talk page
• send the user an e-mail.

In both cases, best refer to Special:FirstSteps.

Please check Special:FirstSteps. Confirmation e-mail is before requesting translator rights or not?

Confirming e-mail address is not required, but we do actively encourage it. Because it is not required, it can be done after requesting translator rights.

But You say: "Requests are not granted if no e-mail confirmed".

That's an out of context quote. I wrote: "requests are not granted if no e-mail confirmed and no user page created." One of the conditions has to be met. We need a babel template on the user page and some information, or a babel template and an e-mail address. Otherwise the rights assignment will be delayed until conditions are met.

Ok. Thanks.

Requests are not granted if the signature does not lead to user (talk) page.
This rule is active now? See 1, 2.
