Can I be staff
Can I be Staff please? Why? Because I’ll be Useful. ThomasTheTrainFan2 (talk) 21:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)


 * ThomasTheTrainFan2 Thank you for your question, which I have procedurally moved from community noticeboard to here, where it is more appropriately placed due to the personal nature of this request. To your question, Miraheze has zero staff, so there's no staff, per se, to join. Miraheze Limited, as a corporation, is governed by a volunteer board of directors, currently consisting of four (4) appointees. All community aspects of Miraheze are run by community-elected global functionaries. The Miraheze board delegates the technical infrastructure management to system administrators, who are sometimes called "staff," but as can be seen, this term is quite inadequate and incorrect in many respects. At any rate, community-elected positions require high levels of trust. With two global edits, both of which were to this wiki, there's no way to establish that. You can, however, request a wiki, taking care to describe a clear purpose, scope, and topic(s) for your wiki in several sentences or so, and you will be "staff" on your wiki, as all Miraheze customer wikis are run by local functionaries elected by the local wiki community. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 00:33, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * My old Account is User:ThomasTheTrainFan, I lost it because I forget my password. ThomasTheTrainFan2 (talk) 23:53, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ThomasTheTrainFan2 Okay, well it looks like you've recovered your access to this second account, so perhaps you can try different password combinations for ThomasTheTrainFan and maybe you'll have success? At any rate, do be sure and add a confirmed e-mail address in Special:Preferences for this account. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

I made Tankipedia and I want you to change user type from normal to wiki founder. ThomasTheTrainFan2 (talk) 00:14, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ThomasTheTrainFan2, I'm conferring with other Stewards on possible next steps here, and will reply to you within 24-48 hours. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 03:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you going to change me to staff on Tankipedia? ( I made this wiki in ThomasTheTrainFan (1) ) ThomasTheTrainFan2 (talk) 19:56, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ThomasTheTrainFan2 I'm conferring with another Steward, Void, on a possible alternative method of transferring rights from your apparent alternate account to this account, but first we need to confirm that the two accounts are indeed the same. Please just give us another couple days. Alternatively, you may also hold a local election on Tankipedia for the positions of  and   on your wiki and ping me here in about 5-7 calendar days when your local election concludes. In the meantime, please just continue editing Tankipedia. Hope that helps. Dmehus (talk) 03:08, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

 * You don’t had to do it. Plus I will make another wiki. ThomasTheTrainFan2 (talk) 19:48, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * ThomasTheTrainFan2 I've ✅ this per your request, but as a soft redirect on your apparent other account's global user page so we (a) don't create hard redirects on every wiki, (b) the target user page does not exist, so would be a broken redirect, and because (c) interwiki hard redirects are mildly disruptive to users and should be avoided. In any events, have you started your local election as described above yet? That would be my preferred option to transfer rights to you. Dmehus (talk) 19:56, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
