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)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 02:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

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

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)

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)

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)

Define link target. Please change [[Wikipedia:Course coordinators|course coordinators]] to [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Course coordinator, instructor, online and campus volunteer|course coordinators]] Mlpearc (open channel) 18:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Adding event coordinators

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)

 Done Nice catch. I put EVC before course coordinators as that group is deprecated and won't be adding any more entries. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 20:01, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

I trimmed it a LOT more, see edit summary. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:14, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

@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)

@L235: how is it now? — xaosflux ^Talk 10:23, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Looks good to me! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 12:57, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

The log does <strong>not</strong> show:

... to use semantic markup, avoid extra indentation with colons, a MOS:DASH fix, and wikilinks m:Stewards. Thanks! (The styling on the <kbd>...</kbd> borrows the CSS for <code>...</code>.) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Please change this page to the version at User:Graham87/sandbox32, which updates the help text to note that user rights changes from stewards are now mirrored here per T6055 (example), and also changes "prior to" to the simpler wording "before". Thanks! Graham87 (talk) 16:40, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
