Admin?
[edit]Just wondering, but given you've been active for several years now and have a solid understanding of core Wikivoyage practices, would you be willing to nominated for adminship? Happy to nominate you as such if you're up for it. (ftr I'm not really concerned about the enwiki block – that was a long time ago and the enwikivoyage community is usually very forgiving of past mistakes, especially when it was half a decade ago) //shb (t | c | m) 08:07, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm willing for it. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 08:15, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- Done – see Wikivoyage:User rights nominations#Sbb1413 (sysop). //shb (t | c | m) 08:31, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

- You are now an admin. Reach out to any of us if you'd like an explanation of any of your new tools, but I think the most obvious one is probably rollback, which is best used only to revert vandalism and high-volume or spambot touting. Normal reversions should be done the same way every other user does them, with an explanation in your edit summary and/or a user talk page message. Thanks for being willing to pick up a mop and pail and help us keep the vandalism and spam at bay! Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:25, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Mars
[edit]Hi. Just a quick note that I reverted your edit, because Mars is not in "Regions" and has never been visited by a human. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:35, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
- Oh thanks. I thought it's mentioned there as I'm updating various outdated content. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 03:37, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
- It isn't. I checked. And it shouldn't be until people visit it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:40, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
Don't go overboard with redirects
[edit]I consider your redirect for Hamas highly inflammatory and inappropriate and have nominated it for deletion. I'm not so sure about redirects for "Cat" or that we really want "Third Reich" to be a term on this site. Could you reflect a bit more before creating redirects? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:31, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
- Well, I created "Hamas" because I thought some travellers to Gaza Strip would find it useful. For Third Reich, I redirected it to World War II in Europe since it indeed covers the Nazi regime. For Cat, I expect people would search for "cat safety" or something, so I redirect it to travel with pets. I created them in good faith, following ttcf.

- I'm not suggesting bad faith, just questioning your decisions. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:38, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
- That's ok, and I'm open to questions. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 09:39, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

If someone sesrches on those terms, they will get a list of articles that include them. We do not need redirects for them. Ground Zero (talk) 09:41, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
Unilateral district renaming?
[edit]Hi. Did I miss a thread on Talk:Hyderabad where you proposed to rename districts and got a consensus behind you? Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:09, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you. I unilaterally renamed Hyderabad/West to Hyderabad/Cyberabad, Hyderabad/North to Hyderabad/Secunderabad, and Hyderabad/East to Hyderabad/Malkajgiri. However, due to its unilateral nature, I'm already reverting to previous names and formally proposing to rename them instead. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:12, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: I have reverted the unilateral renaming. Follow Talk:Hyderabad for updates. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:13, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
