The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

Discussion ongoing re: requiring Extended confirmed to transclude and remove RfAs

I noticed there's somewhat of a poll in progress at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Extended confirmed? that seeks to change protection status of Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to require "Extended confirm" to edit the page. It doesn't appear the discussion has been mentioned elsewhere. For your information. –xeno^talk 22:19, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lost access to account

Hello, all! At some point I apparently added two-factor authentication to my main account, though I don't honestly recall doing it. As such, I don't have a means to obtain authentication codes and no longer have access to my admin account. I'm not sure what the procedure is in this situation, but I don't expect I'll ever be able to access the account again, so it might be best to remove the admin bit. Otherwise, I suppose it'll be removed eventually due to inactivity. I have email enabled on both accounts if some verification is needed. Best, --auburnpilot's sock 19:31, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a Phabricator thing, not a bureaucrat one. Given this diff we can be certain that User:AuburnPiIot is the same person as User:AuburnPilot. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:03, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've temporary removed +sysop, per your request above. There are a few options, will reply below in a moment. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:07, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
