| - File:Symbol question.svg Additional information needed Do you have an account on any Wikimedia Foundation wikis (Wikipedia, Wikinews etc.)? TK999 08:23, August 15, 2011 (UTC) Yes the diff for that can be found here. Kangaroopowah -Briefing Room 08:58, August 15, 2011 (UTC) File:Face-smile.svg Thank you TK999 08:59, August 15, 2011 (UTC) File:Symbol question.svg Clarification sought: Hi ’roo! In your statement above, you say that you want to work here primarily to learn more about templates. You don’t need the sysop bit to work with templates. All of them are viewable by anyone. All the template sandboxes and testcase areas, for testing and working with the templates, are also editable by anyone. You can copy/export any template you want to your home wiki without any special privileges. I do not want you to think that I am endeavouring to keep you from the sysop bit. Not at all! Unless I’ve misunderstood your objectives, you already have the privileges you need to do what you want here. You would only need the sysop bit if you want to test/practise with the Administrator tools, or to do maintenance work on ATW itself. If I have misunderstood your statement, please set me straight. — SpikeToronto 08:05, August 19, 2011 (UTC)P.S. I do see that your accounts both here and at WP are quite new and that you’ve only been a sysop at 39 Steps Wiki for two months. So, were you wanting to be able to test/practise with the Administrator tools, so as not to damage your home wiki? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 08:13, August 19, 2011 (UTC) Well yes the templates were one part of it but I also wanted to test out administrative powers on a wiki where I wont hurt anyone seeing as I just downloaded a new piece of js yesterday so as to help with my administrative powers. Sorry for the misunderstanding. P.S. there are two cancel buttons in the editorKangaroopowah -Briefing Room 10:35, August 19, 2011 (UTC) Actually, there is only one Cancel button being loaded by the site. You see two because one is being loaded by the site’s MediaWiki:Wikia.js, while the other one is being loaded by your personal User:Kangaroopower/wikia.js. I also see two of them because I load one via my global.js so that I can have a Cancel button no matter what wiki I visit. As for you RfR, we’ll process it over the next few days. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 13:00, August 19, 2011 (UTC) To see how to remove the duplicate, see this discussion: User talk:SpikeToronto#Double Cancel Button. — SpikeToronto 05:52, August 29, 2011 (UTC) Oops, my bad. Also due to instances beyond my control I may not be able to have internet for he next week give or take a day. (although I hope I've done the rfr good enough so that you now dont need my help). Thanks, Kangaroopowah -Briefing Room 13:17, August 19, 2011 (UTC) Back, is my rfr fine? Thanks, Kangaroopowah -Briefing Room 17:07, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
* File:Symbol support vote.svg Support The user's contribution history makes him eligible for testing administratorship. I am looking forward to welcome you! TK999 11:14, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
* File:Symbol support vote.svg Support – This user seems trusted on 39 Clues Wiki, at least; there is no reason why he/she cannot test with the admin right on this wiki. —mc10 (t/c) 03:13, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
* File:Symbol support vote.svg Support- Kangoroo is nice and a good editor, he is a trusted user. Though his global edit count is low, he is seems to be one of those experienced editers. So i will support. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBen10Mazter (talk • contribs).

Background
1.
* WMF identity confirmed]. Approximately 150 edits at Wikipedia (account created 2011-06-21, first edits the same day). Empty block log at Wikipedia (WP). Received rollback rights at WP on 2011-08-26. Other logs uneventful. On Wikia wikis, User:Kangaroopower was created 2011-04-19. Kangaroopower has made over 3,500 edits. The majority of Kangaroopower’s work is on the 39 Clues Wiki where he has been an Administrator since 2011-06-18, and has over 2,250 edits (64% of his total). Block log is empty. Other logs uneventful. Kangaroopower is a frequent contributor to the Community Central Wiki, accounting for 10% of his edits. Kangaroopower was banned from Chat at Central, but it was for a mere two minutes because of an intermittent connection problem. Block log empty. Other logs at Central are uneventful.Decision
Image:Pictogram voting support.svg Approved. Kangaroopower is a trusted member of the 39 Clues Wiki in whose hands that community has placed the sysop bit. And, he has not abused that trust. He has clean logs and block records at Wikipedia, 39 Clues, and Community Central. File:Ambox Content.svg Caution: Kangaroopower, as a testing admin, there are the following that we would like you to be cautious of in your work here: 1.
* In the Template namespace {{ns:10}}, you may rummage around. But, other than the most basic of edits, do not edit in the Template namespace without first developing a consensus on whichever template’s associated talkpage. The pink background that appears when you open a Template namespace page in the editor is intended to further remind you to be cautious.For testing, each template has an associated sandbox and testcases area. Please use those. 2.
* In the MediaWiki namespace {{ns:8}}, you may test. But, your test edits must be reverted as soon as you have finished testing. The pages contained therein are as critical to the operation of this wiki as they are critical to the operation of every other mediawiki-based wiki here at Wikia. Consequently, it is usually only ATW’s Bureaucrats that make changes to pages in that namespace. From time to time, certain Administrators with demonstrated expertise in that area also contribute to work in the MediaWiki namespace. Therefore, I caution you that any edits you make to pages contained in the MediaWiki namespace must be easily and readily reversible, and you yourself will immediately revert any such changes once you have assessed their effect. If there are any permanent edits you wish made to pages in the MediaWiki namespace, you may feel free to request them through a given page’s associated talkpage using the {{edit protected...}} template, which serves to flag your request by adding the page to .The pink background that appears when you open a MediaWiki namespace page in the editor is intended to further remind you to be cautious. Additionally, because of the importance of the MediaWiki namespace to the smooth operation of this wiki, you will note that all of the pages in that namespace are grey, again as a reminder of the care with which one must edit in that namespace. 3.
* If you should want to import anything to the Admin Tools Wiki, you must strictly adhere to the instructions before you create your XML export file over at the source wiki. Namely, When performing the export, tick the box labelled Include templates. . Doing so overwrites any of those templates that are already here on the Admin Tools Wiki. If that happens, will have to go through each and every one of those templates listed in the import log, with that exact timestamp. And, will have to manually revert the pre-existing ones to the last stable version of each. We would ask that you seek assistance from a member of the Active Bureaucrats Group if you are intending to import to this wiki. It is because of the great risk associated with importation to a wiki, that only Administrators are granted this right, while anyone can export from a wiki. Your use, in any way, of the admin tools on this wiki will serve to signify that you understand and agree to these notes of caution, which of course apply equally to everyone here at Admin Tools Wiki. Failure to comply will result in immediate revocation of the sysop bit, a temporary block, and opening of a discussion regarding the possiblity of an indefinite block (if not permaban, depending on the degree of damage) at the Noticeboard. File:Face-smile.svg Otherwise, welcome! And happy testing! If you have any questions or need assistance: visit Contact us; contact directly one of the active Bureaucrats; contact directly any active Administrator; or, visit User help. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 17:03, August 31, 2011 (UTC) Ok I'll abide by all the cautionary stuff and thanks spike for approving me. Kangaroopowah -Briefing Room
