Votes formalize and document the consensus-building process and the decisions that the community makes. This page displays the full contents of recent, current and planned votes. Edit Wiktionary:Votes/Active to add new votes to the “active” list and remove old ones. Finished votes are added to Wiktionary:Votes/Timeline, an organized archive of previous votes and their results, sorted by the vote end date.

Policy and help pages, respectively: Wiktionary:Voting policy (including who is eligible to vote) and Help:Creating a vote.

See also Wiktionary:Votes/ for an automatically generated, less organized list of votes.

Before clicking the “Start a new vote!” button below, change “Title of vote” in the field just above the button to a short descriptive title. Once you have created your vote, add it to the list at Wiktionary:Votes/Active.

User:Surjection for checkuser

Nomination: I hereby nominate Surjection (talk • contribs) as a local English Wiktionary CheckUser. He is one of our most active and trusted contributors serving as administrator and bureaucrat from many years. He is a very prolific contributor with an incredible amount of experience in the field of patrolling and combating vandalism. He has also made a large number of checkuser investigation requests at WT:RFCU. Along with that, his availability, responsiveness and swiftness to act is also notable.

Rationale: Relevant parts of global CheckUser policy:

On any wiki, there must be at least two users with CheckUser status, or none at all. This is so that they can mutually control and confirm their actions. In the case where only one CheckUser is left on a wiki (when the only other one retires, or is removed), the community must appoint a new CheckUser immediately (so that the number of CheckUsers is at least two).

Any user account with CheckUser status that is inactive for more than one year will have their CheckUser access removed.

We currently have only two checkusers – Chuck Entz and TheDaveRoss; however, TheDaveRoss has been inactive from January 2024, which has been longer than one year. To continue having checkusers, a new checkuser must be elected per the above. Additionally, Surjection is hands down the best candidate for a new checkuser and who would make good use of the tools in making his administratorial and patrolling works more efficient.

Decision

User:Qäyur Bot for bot status

Nomination: I hereby request the Bot flag for User:Qäyur Bot for the following purposes:

mass-cleaning {{R:az:Obastan}} from entries where {{R:az:ADIL}} can be used instead as the former's reliability is under question (the site hasn't been available for a while and it's a 3rd party, unaffiliated with any official publishers);
probably doing some other repetitive tasks in the future for its master

the source code is available here; i've tested it with a smaller set of words on testwiki :3

Decision

Proposed votes

The following are proposals for new votes, excluding nominations, in cases where the proposer of the vote prefers that the vote is written collaboratively, or where the vote appears to require substantial revision. If you have not created a passing vote yet, it is recommended that you use this section and actively solicit feedback by linking to your proposal in discussion; your vote may have a better chance of passing if it is first reviewed.

Votes may linger here indefinitely. If changes in policy make a proposal irrelevant, the voting page will be requested for deletion. On the other hand, you do not have to be the creator to initiate one of the votes below. Place any votes with a live start date in the section above at least a few days before that start date arrives.
