 * About 1 I'd decline.Description is too few.
 * About 2 Probably I'd decline.same as answer 2.
 * About 3 I'd apporove.Actually there are wiki imported from fandom and so on.
 * About 4 I'd apporove.I think description is enough.
 * About 5 I'd decline.In fact,most of movies are protected by copyright. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 02:39, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.


 * 1) Oppose. I don't usually comment on RfPs but I find these answers alarming and am not sure if the candidate has even read the pages for content policy and the expectations for wiki creators Naleksuh (talk) 04:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  I agree with Naleksuh here, all the the answers given are very alarming for a wiki creator. While you may have been right about declining some of them, it would have been for very different reasons. Universal Omega (talk) 04:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  per UO
 * 4)  Failed all scenarios as far as I'm concerned. While the surface level "yes/no" may sometimes be incidentally correct, these answers lack nuance.  dross  (t • c • g) 04:49, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

} Group: Wiki creator Reason: LisafBia is one of the most trusted and respectful Users. He is a user who loves to patrol and work on the Turkish Wikipedia. I believe that you can easily finish and do wiki requests. I hope he accepts my candidacy.  Hey Türkiye  message? 17:20, 4 October 2022 (UTC) ✅ --LisafBia (talk) 16:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate
Hello, @LisafBia I hope you have accepted the nomination, if you have accepted the nomination please answer the following questions;


 * Public wiki named "Bad Celebrities Wiki" - Description "A wiki that discusses bad celebrities."
 * I would deny this request, because the wiki's content violates the Content Policy.


 * Private wiki named "Super Happy Tree Wiki" - Description "I want to make a wiki for me and my friends"
 * If the content of the wiki is not specified, I will reject the request and ask what the content is.


 * Public wiki named "The Legendary Witch Wiki" - Description "Recently, due to Fandom's policy changes, I would like to move my wiki here. This wiki will discuss legendary witches."
 * Public wiki named "Tropes Wiki" - Description "A wiki for all tropes in media. Tropes Wiki will cover tropes in several pieces of media, which is included but not limited to games, films, literature, and TV shows."
 * Public wiki named "Humor Wiki" - Description "A wiki for jokes. It will describe every singe joke in detail and their punchlines, alongside comedians. It will also cover comedy films and books as well."

--  Hey Türkiye  message? 17:22, 4 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "Crappy Games Wiki 2.0" - Description "Due to Qualitipedia shutting down, I would like to revive it alongside its contents." The Goose Named Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 01:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Discussion
Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.


 * 1)  he is a trusted user. I realize that he will successfully fulfill his mission, first support to him :)  Hey Türkiye  message?  17:20, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  Before less than two weeks ago the candidate for this position was not seen on Meta since July. That is for me a concerning sign considering that it is of utmost importance that wiki creators are regularly active in order to resolve wiki requests as quick as possible. There is not very much sense in a wiki creator who is only around sporadically - it must be someone who can check Meta regularly. It is understandable that there is not much activity that one can have on Meta due to its inherent nature but I would still prefer to observe more regular contributions. If answers to questions posed above prove to be very good and thought out I may consider changing my vote to a weak support as long as the candidate promises they will be regularly active in the future. Otherwise if the answers are not very good I am unable to support this at the time. --DeeM28 (talk) 07:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3)  Since not all the questions have been answered and concerns around the activity levels of the candidate, opposing for now. But like DeeM28 above, if a commitment to being active is given, and the questions answered to satisfaction, I will consider reversing this vote to a support. Universal Omega (talk) 08:04, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) for now. The candidate has not answered all the questions. Also, per above, there hasn't been a lot of activity as of recently on Meta. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 19:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 5)  per UO
 * 6)  Seen this user take steps before and put no effort into realizing their outcomes. Until that changes (for example, answering questions above to satisfaction and having a meaningful presence on Meta) then this is not a suitable candidate. --Raidarr (talk) 11:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Moisty (Administrator)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Closing under User close policy. (user rights) All 4 opposes point out that the user, Moisty, is requesting this too early. Moisty shows enthusiasm about the project, which is great, so I would suggest reading Contributing before running again. Many have also suggested running again in several months before this request may be successful. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 00:28, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Discussion
Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.


 * 1) I respect you as a user, but it's too early for this as you have ~50 edits here. You can help around in Meta noticeboards, and maybe in 5-6 months I can support this request. The Goose Named Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 01:16, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) You do not have enough of a presence here on Meta to qualify for administrator. Marxo Grouch  (talk) 01:49, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Not now. Having rights on Qualitipedia doesn’t automatically qualify you for having the right on Meta, as the wiki’s procedures are extremely different than each other, and as such, requires a decent amount of experience on-meta for me to support such a request. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 05:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4)  Per above, I feel this is a bit to soon. I encourge you to contribute a bit more here on Miraheze Meta, and then perhaps request again in a few months. Universal Omega (talk) 05:54, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

HeyTürkiye (Wiki creator) (2)
Group: Wiki creator Reason: Wiki requests can accumulate throughout our private lives. I want to serve the miraheze community without waiting for wiki requests. I actively provide roles in communities and wikis, even if my editing is minimal, I think I will remove this responsibility. Appreciation in our community.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:04, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Edit: My apologies to the Meta community for unwillingly closing this application, just because I put "partially retired" on my user page does not mean that I will be permanently inactive. I am opening my application again by wanting to inform the users, I would like to underline that if you have any questions, I will gladly answer them.  Hey Türkiye  message? 16:34, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * Public wiki named "Bad Celebrities Wiki" - Description "A wiki that discusses bad celebrities."
 * I would like him to explain in detail the purpose of the wiki, the subject and scope of the wiki, as the explanation is very inadequate.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is partially correct. This would be declined for violation of the Content Policy, specifically this line:
 * "Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people" ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 12:45, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ZeusDeeGoose I partially agree with your correctness, as the English language is a language that takes some courage to understand.  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:49, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Private wiki named "Super Happy Tree Wiki" - Description "I want to make a wiki for me and my friends"
 * Creating wikis with friends is wrong. Miraheze's purpose is to host information on the wiki farm. Since Miraheze is not a forum-style wiki, I would most likely reject it.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is incorrect, Miraheze often approves personal and core friend group projects although the description as to what it entails is lacking and it would be reasonable to ask for more. The 'forum style' and social focus prohibition is Fandom's stipulation, not Miraheze. But as long as the discussion material is compliant (you'll notice Content Policy doesn't even touch on this subject anyway), even a wiki with a social focus should be fine. --Raidarr (talk) 12:14, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think personal wikis will be a huge burden for Miraheze, our goal is for everyone to have at least 1 wiki here. Thanks for your response  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:33, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "The Legendary Witch Wiki" - Description "Recently, due to Fandom's policy changes, I would like to move my wiki here. This wiki will discuss legendary witches."
 * It's nice that he moved his wiki from Fandom to Miraheze, but I would say that the scope of the wiki is insufficient, I would refuse.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What would make this scope sufficient at a minimum, and how would it help your assessment of the wiki following Content Policy properly or not? --Raidarr (talk) 12:15, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What makes Scope sufficient is what the Wiki contains, for example the purpose of the X wiki is to create Brawl stars articles. But if that X article goes out of its purpose, then it is not possible to approve that wiki in my opinion dear @Raidarr, best regards  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:54, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "Tropes Wiki" - Description "A wiki for all tropes in media. Tropes Wiki will cover tropes in several pieces of media, which is included but not limited to games, films, literature, and TV shows."
 * The scope of this wiki is sufficient. I would approve of his wiki, provided it complies with its content policy.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This is somewhat tricky and you are not expected to know all wikis on the platform, but it would be highly beneficial to know what wikis are present and at least at the top of platform traffic. In this case AllTheTropes is a very large wiki for the platform covering everything described and so would be considered a fork and at least a direct competitor, which is a problem. For this reason it cannot be accepted and the user should be directed to the wiki doing exactly what they describe. --Raidarr (talk) 12:17, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find anything to answer right now :/, @Raidarr is there anything else you want to ask?  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:58, 2 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Public wiki named "Humor Wiki" - Description "A wiki for jokes. It will describe every singe joke in detail and their punchlines, alongside comedians. It will also cover comedy films and books as well."


 * The scope of this wiki is sufficient. I would approve of his wiki, provided it complies with its content policy.  Hey Türkiye  message? 09:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.

Support

 * 1)  Per raidarr. I strongly suggest undergoing a mentorship-type program with an existing wiki creator, or even a prior one; of course, if willing to help.--  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 15:47, 2 October 2022 (UTC)  vote striked to support. The user is generally trusted, and the questions had most answers correct. I trust that the user can learn from the environment, I still say, hey, you should try a mentorship-type program, but as long as you can correctly approve/decline wiki requests, it's a +1 from me. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * my goal is to help everyone anyway @Bukkit, I made this application to speed up the work of wiki creators, thanks for your vote.  Hey Türkiye  message? 16:09, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Switched to support, I personally think you'd do well as long as you give some practice and confer with your peers. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:16, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Have no doubt that I will ask questions when I do a transaction with peers @Bukkit, I wish you a pleasant day. Thank you again for changing your vote and voting. These comments inspire me. Kind regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:30, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) User answered most questions to my satisfaction. The Goose Named Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 16:43, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ZeusDeeGoose Thank you for your vote, I'm happy if my comments and answers satisfied you :) I wish you a pleasant day. Yours truly  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:27, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem. ZeusDeeGoose (talk) 20:39, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Active user and I believe the user can help in this role. AlPaD (talk) 19:36, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you @AlPaD for voting, seeing these trusts gives me courage. I wish you a pleasant evening (If You Use UTC time)  Hey Türkiye  message? 20:25, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1)  This candidate's strength is probably being multilingual, I think it might help to know what the other languages are. That said, native English understanding does not strike me as this candidate's strong suit, which could result in communication issues since all core volunteers and most requests are English based. More difficultly, this candidate has little operational experience or background understanding with the allowances and stipulations of requests. It would be helpful to work with an active wiki creator/core volunteer to develop this understanding since understanding 'the lay of the land' is critical along with good judgement based on the Content Policy. I abstain, but the issues mean I could not support at this time if pushed to a clear vote. --Raidarr (talk) 12:21, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Raidarr Thank you raidarr for your abstention, glad to hear that from an experienced steward. I can say that my mother tongue is not English, but Turkish. Of course, this experience is a bit too necessary for the wiki creator, I'm aware of that. but it still helps me if you tell me your thoughts. Kind regards  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:26, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah no prob, and I think with time you could get the necessary background. Not being correct initially is not a breaker, it's largely about attitude and growth. Turkish is unfortunately a very limited use language here (I think I've seen no more than two in my time) but having that and growing your English can still result in strength. I'd give similar advice to Buel who I missed above, and for anyone else with similar circumstances thinking about it. You can get a lot just from watching the request queue when processed (right now the key people aren't at their best unfortunately), and noting the exceptions, scruples and sometimes inconsistency that happens. And of course, you can get more information from someone experienced. used to offer some guides for best practices that are in extension of or cover holes with Content Policy in making decisions. --Raidarr (talk) 12:32, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Raidarr I guess now I realize that you were like me in the past. Dmehus was like me, he knew nothing. but he improved himself by taking notes. Thank you again for your words raidarr, I will continue to improve myself whether this application is negative or positive. Kind regards  Hey Türkiye  message? 12:42, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1)  Temporarily until finding more information. On the surface user looks trustworthy and competent. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 00:51, 3 October 2022 (UTC)  Simply put, the user only has 108 edits on Meta, 20 of which have come from this RfP alone. Most activity is only on the user's own wikis, and while that is amazing and I am in full support of their endeavors, I don't see a full understanding of Meta conventions and policies. I'd recommend being more active on Meta, and revisit this in a month or two, I'm sure you will receive a lot more support then. Other than that, I have absolutely no opposition to any other statistics, 12 months since account creation, 3,000 global edits, it all looks good. Just more activity on Meta. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 23:25, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @BrandonWM Thank you for voting, I serve you my cause and I will continue to do so, Miraheze for one, all for one! Kind regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 04:55, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  I just think it is too early.
 * @小美粉粉 Special thanks for your vote, I know it's too late for me to apply but my goal here is to collaborate with the wiki creator and ease their work. If you have any questions, I will gladly answer you :) Best regards,  Hey Türkiye  message? 04:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Per Raidarr mainly. I don't exactly have any issues with you being a WC however, I would like to see you more active on Meta so that I may be more acquainted with your judgement, reasoning, and amicableness and cannot support at this time without being able to see this up close.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 20:47, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm more active in Meta than I can be right now Agent Isai, I'm so sorry you said this, I know it's a late application but you better think about it, wiki creator miraheze's biggest problem and there is no one active. I think you should rethink your game.  Hey Türkiye  message? 05:41, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai edit: I'm not saying there's no one to take care of it, sorry for that. There is someone to look after, but the number of people active in the meta is very small.  Hey Türkiye  message? 11:56, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Universal Omega (Administrator)
Group: Administrator Reason: Hello, I am making this request for Meta Administrator because over the last few months we have lost numerous Meta Administrators to resignations. I have decided to request Meta Administrator to further my involvement in the Meta community, and to remain more active within the community. Recently, I have been active as a global rollbacker, monitoring the CVT feeds, and even creating a new IRC bot to further assist in CVT monitoring. I have also recently had more time on my hands to commit to the community. Miraheze has been lacking volunteers and this has not been improving much lately, while we do have more wiki creator request as of late, we have a lack of volunteers in most other areas. Over the past year Meta Administrators have been resigning. This included Southparkfan, NDKilla, Dmehus, and RhinosF1. Currently most of the other remaining Meta Administrators only seem to be active a couple times a month (if even that). Only about two or maybe three Meta Administrators are reliably around and active. I can't say I would be around as much as the most active Meta Administrators, but I would be available most of the time, and likely be around more than the majority of current Meta Administrators. Thank you! Universal Omega (talk) 02:01, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.


 * 1) A relatively active user, kind, and overall helpful. This user has all the qualities that I find good in an administrator. Given the current lack of sysops and good rationale, I can support this request. --  Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 05:45, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) The Goose Named Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|uploads|email) 13:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I have no problems. I thought you were a global sysop. Please be sensible and don't have the talk page problem etc. And be nice to people. Naleksuh (talk) 16:03, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) LovingHaydeL (talk to me uwu!) 9:44, 5 October 2022 (PST)
 * 5) per above. by Buel ·Talk·Wikimail 03:00, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 6)  As with my vote for Global Rollbacker looking at Universal Omega's contributions I do not have any concerns that they would be able to fill this role. As far as I am aware they have not had any real conflicts with other users and are a fair person. Since indeed we have lost some previous administrators it is sensible to have a new person fill the role. --DeeM28 (talk) 07:16, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 7)  I support Omega on the condition that he does not abuse his authority and treats people kindly, I hope to see your steward candidate as well..  Hey Türkiye  message?  16:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 8) Presence on Meta is distinguished. Never a single concern with this user's work, and I am more than happy to support.  dross  (t • c • g) 22:45, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 9)  One of my closest friends on this platform, honored to support. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 03:51, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Bukkit (Wiki creator)
Group: Wiki creator Reason: Hello, I am Bukkit. I am a fairly active user, and I am an Interwiki Admin, and (despite revoked due to prior conduct) previously, a patroller. I am requesting this right as it seems clear that there is a need for another wiki creator as the backlog is often clogged resulting in users having to go through “waves” to clear it out, which is clearly a problem, as the newer users expect wikis to be made in at least less than a day, and they may turn their business elsewhere, or grow unhappy with the status of Miraheze, alongside the stress and unneeded work for wiki creators, and as such, there's a growing need for additional members on the WC team. As a wiki creator, I should be able to clear the backlog, and even prevent one. I understand the Content Policy, the Code of Conduct, and have fully read the Wiki creators’ guide. Feel fere to ask questions, I should be able to answer them. As always, for your consideration. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 16:42, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate
Bukkit, although I support you, I have a few questions to ask you. This question will not affect my support. I hope you can answer my questions completely.  Hey Türkiye  message? 18:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Your support should never be blind as it appears to be now. You should always scrutinize a user before giving them your vote. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Agent Isai think like that; people can be angry sometimes, and if giving rights is an insult (in our religion), he has learned his lesson. Bukkit seems to have learned its lesson, too. Remember that Agent Isai; Every person has 3 rights, people are given 3 rights. 4. No rights are granted.  Hey Türkiye  message? 14:52, 8 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) These days, users are reacting to the closure of Qualitipedia wikis. Well, if a user receives a wiki request from you, such as another version of Qualitipedia hosting content (for example, Qualitipedia 2.0), would you accept it, and if you reject it, what would your answer be to that user?  Hey Türkiye  message?  18:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) You know, wiki requests are also created according to the subject, it is possible to see that the wiki requests are accumulated in 3 days if you do not look at them. So in this case, would you work with the common user?  Hey Türkiye  message?  18:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) You created the wiki and noticed that the local Bureaucrat who requested the wiki created a wikimedia fork wiki. What steps do you take to close it, open a discussion to close it to the community, or close the wiki by justifying it individually?  Hey Türkiye  message?  18:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) We need wiki creators right now because there are so many requests, but are you busy in your private life, can you contribute to Miraheze?  Hey Türkiye  message?  18:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Decline, as per the Content Policy § 3: "A wiki must not create problems which make it difficult for other wikis." as well as the wikis were closed by community consensus, are generally toxic, and causes reputation problems for Miraheze.
 * I'm sorry, but I cannot understand what you're trying to say, could you please explain and/or rephrase it?
 * Create a discussion on the Stewards' noticeboard and notify the user about the thread.
 * My activity should usually remain the same as it is now, and if it's going to go down, I should be able to post a notice on my user page, and step-down if medium to long-term. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 19:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * In the second question, I tried to explain this; Wiki requests can pile up if they are never approved or rejected by an administrator. So what would you do with the proliferating wiki requests? I asked a question. I hope it will be explanatory.  Hey Türkiye  message? 19:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would likely use my spare time to clear it, most likely with another wiki creator if able to. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 19:52, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * so much for answering my questions directly when I asked them. I have no doubt that you will take care of your wiki creator requests on Miraheze with @ZeusDeeGoose. Best of luck to both users again, with respect and love ❤ (The answers to the questions satisfied me, I forgot to write that too)  Hey Türkiye  message? 19:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) What do you bring to the team that others don't?  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Mostly more activity, some of the wiki creators are there at times and some aren't, there are a few wiki creators' that are active leading to creations taking a little while to be created, leading to users joining the discord and asking for their wikis to be created/reviewed. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 17:16, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Do you foresee yourself being active in the immediate future?  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * As mentioned in my IWA request, my activity should be better than the last few months as I have better managed my time. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 17:18, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) How well-versed would you say you are with policy and convention?  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * 1) Have you read the WC guide and Content Policy?  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 14:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Wiki name: "Polandball Wiki Users" Wiki database name: "pbwuserswiki" Visibility: Public Description: "Wiki documents all users within the Polandball Wiki community, their accomplishments, goals, controversy, and history"
 * ❌ per Content Policy § 3; Miraheze does not host wikis with the sole purpose to spread unsubstantiated insult, hate or rumours against a person or group of people.

 * Wiki name: "Polcompball Reloaded" Wiki database name: "polcompballreloadedwiki" Visibility: Public Description: "Polcompball Reloaded will be a spin-off of Polcompball which will allow for more self-insert OCs and less left propaganda that's inundating the wiki. We'll let users make their own ideology balls and won't restrict them as much as PCB and PCBA do."

 * Wiki name: "Grand Grimoire Wiki" Wiki database name: "grandgrimoirewiki" Visibility: Public Description: "OC group. We saw your service and we would love to have a wiki on it. You offer a lot more flexibility than other wiki hosts so we chose you over other hosts like Fandom from where we come from.

Discussion
Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.


 * 1)  Bukkit is a trusted user. He loves helping people. If my wiki creator accepts my candidacy, my offer is as follows; Would you like to work with me? Whether the application is approved or not, my support is always full. I wish the result good for Miraheze. I wish you luck Bukkit. With my love and respect  Hey Türkiye  message?  18:51, 7 October 2022 (UTC)  I may not know you a little bit, Bukkit, sorry. My reason for changing my vote; insulting you in the past. I'm not sure you've read the global policies or anything, but I wish you luck with your application.  Hey Türkiye  message?  14:55, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) While reviewing in waves is the norm, wiki requests rarely take more than a day. And when they do it's because the wiki creator asks a question that the requestor doesn't answer. Naleksuh (talk) 19:56, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Even then, it takes hours for a request to even get declined or accepted due to the wiki creators going in waves. -- Bukkit  [ cetacean needed ] 20:12, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah and? Naleksuh (talk) 20:27, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1)  Know and trust user. Thanks - BrandonWM (talk • contribs • global • rights) 23:54, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Group: Wiki creator Reason: Hi. I'm ZeusDeeGoose. I am making a request for wiki creator for similar reasons to the above. Since the 503's of Miraheze have started, I noticed that Wiki requests grew, usually leaving 1 creator, usually a steward, to clear out the requests in one go. I would like to request the right as well. I am typically active on Meta during the early morning and afternoon. I have fully read all wiki policy pages and understand that misuse may lead to my rights being revoked by a Steward. I will answer any questions you may have, although keep in mind I have requested a global rename recently, so I may answer under my other account User:ZeusDeeGoose (public). --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 19:16, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Questions for candidate
ZeusDeeGoose, I supported you as well as Bukkit, but I have questions to ask. I expect you to answer these questions.  Hey Türkiye  message? 19:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) I think a wiki creator should be kind to users. That's why someone's request for wiki generator is insulting etc. If found, would you complain to the first rulers or would you be kind to him?  Hey Türkiye  message?  19:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would decline this wiki request. Miraheze doesn't host hate wikis. If the requester is being rude, I would ask them to calm down. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 19:47, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) You notice that someone has spammed a wiki. first, immediately close wiki requests, do you want the user to be blocked by administrators, or do you close wiki requests?  Hey Türkiye  message?  19:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I would close all requests, then ask a Meta sysop to assign the RequestWiki blocked flag temporarily. --Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 19:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) You've noticed a wiki with a fork of Wikimedia. To close the wiki, would you first warn the local Bureaucrat and close it again, or would you close the wiki directly?  Hey Türkiye  message?  19:36, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Should I have the wiki creator right, this would not be possible. Wiki creator only contains the right to review wiki requests, not global ManageWiki. It would be best left to a Steward. If a wiki request like this were to appear, I would check existing Wikimedia forks on Miraheze and make sure that it is not a duplicate of another wiki. --<span style="font-weight: bold; background:linear-gradient(#ff00ff,#c800c8,purple,#c800c8,#ff00ff);; -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent">Zeus  (talk|contribs|accounts|email) 19:43, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @ZeusDeeGoose for answering my questions, your questions have been answered to my satisfaction, since there are no more questions, I wish you luck :) Regards and love  Hey Türkiye  message? 19:51, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

 * 1)  Immediate response to the sudden wiki creator request :) ZeusDeeGoose is well aware of the Wiki generator shortfall, knowing that any abuse will be taken by the stewards. Miraheze started to develop a lot after these 503s, so I agree with you. You killed two birds with one stone, I wish the best for Miraheze and send my regards and love to ZeusDeeGoose.

 * 3)  Please don't take this personally (I know it's easy to think  = this person doesn't like me - we all, including myself, have fallen at some point into that line of thinking) however, while I don't have any issue with your character, I would like to get better acquainted with you and your reasoning and judgement by seeing you around more on Meta. I think this request came just a tiny bit too soon and would have liked to see it in maybe a month or two when you've more experience on Meta as your main bout of volunteering started in late August/early September. I haven't been able to see your judgement up close and thus, cannot support just yet but am definitely willing to perhaps in December. Judgement is key in this position as you often come into close call situations where approving a wiki could have potentially caused many issues to the farm and you thus dodged a bullet. I'd recommend in this time to perhaps get in contact with a WC to have them mentor you or to become acquainted with some WC practices by going over wiki requests or going through the WC guide, Content Policy, and other global policies.
