Hey, would it be possible for this log to say it is also stewards, I know that this log also lists action from Special:userrights which is used by stewards. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 23:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 02:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've reverted. Steward actions show up on the Meta log (m:Special:Log/rights, which is already linked from the message), not here on Wikipedia, so here it really is a log of 'crat actions and nothing else. --ais523 15:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Dash

[edit]

Please replace the three spaced hyphens ( - ) with spaced en-dashes ( – ), per the Manual of Style. For consistency...

Also, why is that date blue? It looks like some sort of substitute for the appearance of date-linking; personally, I consider it redundant. Waltham, The Duke of 20:59, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done For consistency and not because of the Manual of Style. I don't really think the MoS matters outside of content namespaces. - Rjd0060 (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
They are two sides of the same coin really; Wikipedia has a house style, so it makes sense to display and promote it through the system announcements and warnings. I know the MoS technically only applies to the mainspace, but if the official pages do not follow it, who will? Waltham, The Duke of 22:20, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding event coordinators

[edit]

Due to the addition of the event coordinator user right in accordance with this RfC, please change:

This is a log of changes made by [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]], [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]], and [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Course coordinator, instructor, online and campus volunteer|course coordinators]] to user rights.

to:

This is a log of changes made by [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]], [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]], [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Course coordinator, instructor, online and campus volunteer|course coordinators]], and [[Wikipedia:Event coordinator|event coordinators]] to user rights.

Thanks, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Nice catch. I put EVC before course coordinators as that group is deprecated and won't be adding any more entries. ~ Amory (utc) 20:01, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I trimmed it a LOT more, see edit summary. — xaosflux Talk 20:14, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux: I think the intent of the material there was to be clear that only locally-initiated changes to user rights could be found in the log – do you think there's a more concise way of saying that? Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 04:03, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@L235: how is it now? — xaosflux Talk 10:23, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 12:57, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
