It would be of great help if a page on meta was infrequently updated with b'crat info. This would help stewards and people seeking their SUL account renamed to know which wikis require local rename request and which wikis can be handled by stewards. Could this be implemented? The task could run once a week or month as b'crat info isn't updated regularly. Or it could run each time someone is promoted to b'crat (or demoted).
To clarify, you'd like to see a master list of bureaucrats on each wikimedia wiki? If that's the case, it can certainly be done by a simple bot (just in case for some reason it can't be done as a special page).
If a bot creates and updates the page regularly that's fine but I think such a function should be integrated. Information relevant for master page is weather or not the wikimedia wiki has any b'crats and if so what is the date of the latest activity of that b'crat. This is to establish if steward intervention s warranted.
I think it would be better if something like this were handled on the Toolserver, rather than through a Special page or a bot-updated wiki page. Actually, I think what you're requesting already exists. :-) All SRP and SRUC requests include a template which gives a link to the local 'crats and also gives a link to Pathoschild's stewardry tool. Is that what you're looking for?
Link please? :/ I still think this should be integrated as there is a lot of benefit with little to no loss.
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRUC> Example of the relevant line of a request: "Wiki: kl.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)" * http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stewardry/?wiki=kl.wikipedia * http://kl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immikkut:Brugerliste/bureaucrat Pathoschild's stewardry tool gives all of the bureaucrats (and also other rights holders if desired) and their date of last action. The tool also color codes them by last action so you know at a glance if there's an active one. A toolserver tool is always up-to-date and doesn't require adding something to MediaWiki through SVN that would then need to be approved by the community and enabled by sysadmins *and* it doesn't require a bot to be coded to continually update an often-outdated page at random intervals. :-)
Oh that tool, I remember it. I would have to run a new query per wiki. I want a list of all wikis on one page.
ask pathoschild to implement that. I don't think it is needed as part of the mw itself.
