Btw, the en:Wikipedia:Administrators page
absolutely
do not indicate this mailing list as being the

place to ask for sysop rights. It mentions it
*only*
for developper status.
The page recommand to ask sysop status on the
en.mailing list. Then I guess someone agrees for
the
new sysop, then by some magic, the user is named
sysop.
Sorry, I assumed this was posted to wikipedia-l, not
wikitech-l, since it's not a technical issue. Yes,
wikipedia-l is the right place to ask.
ok again. Changing the page.
And the magic is "update user set
user_rights='sysop'
where user_name='newsysopname';", which can be done
from a MySQL prompt on the server, or with the SQL
query page by any developer.
I know so little of database handling that I would
never dare doing it myself :-)))
Until a few more French and German an other foreign
language-speaking developers step up to help manage
things, you won't get quick response on lists the
current developers don't read.
So true. Sigh. But I can't resist a user making droopy
eyes because he asked to be sysop nearly a month ago
and still is not :-(((
