User: ChipWolf ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: Nominating myself for wiki creator to assist with the backlog. I'm comfortable with MediaWiki in both development and production environments; I've edited Wikipedia for over 4 years and now seek to build some wikifarm clout. ~  Chip 🐺 09:31, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

 * 2) I do not know this user who is merely 13 days old here on Miraheze, and am not very sure about giving him/her advanced permissions at so early a stage as this. All right, s/he might be well known on WMF projects, but that is that, and I personally even think that giving him/her autopatrolled was too early as well (since I saw him/her importing this Huggle thing, which is probably unnecessary for Miraheze as of yet).-- 11:14, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * They’d actually requested Huggle and we’re given the rights to import it. They’re quite active on discord. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  13:17, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I understood about Huggle. Still, I think s/he should be known more to the on-wiki community.-- 17:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) I think for wiki creators it is mostly important that they are trusted with the role and in my view this user seems trustworthy. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:12, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) No good reason to oppose, though I would typically prefer to see more global activity from creators, even as simple as having visited many wikis.  dross  (t • c • g) 01:59, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Comments/Questions
 * As I don't know the user well.-- 06:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Yep, that’s true! However, I want to address the fact that I’m committed to helping others. Brownlowe.2 (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, could you tell me about your translations to "ase" then? It looks like a copy of the original English version at least from my screen.-- 17:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That’d be American Sign Language. There isn’t a real script, so I tend to do it just to add a language. Brownlowe.2 (talk) 19:07, 13 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "" I don't want a wiki creator that would do it just because they can. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 20:06, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The translations to ASL show that they just clicked a button and went ahead without thought. We don’t even support the ASL translations as far as I can see. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  21:04, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
 * It appears no one is in favor of this request. Brownlowe.2 (talk) 18:03, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

User: シュヴァルツ ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I knew that the number of Wiki creators was low, so I want to help with the work of making wikis.

 * Comments/Questions
 * The user has over 4000 contributions globally, and I trust this user for what s/he has done on Japanese wikis. Given that there aren't many active wiki creators around (resulting in checking over 40 requests yesterday), we definitely need more wiki creators.-- 06:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Given the time zones of other users, I think that the time he is awake will contribute to miraheze.However, it must be noted that his age is less than 18 years old.I'm concerned that the requested wiki may contain harmful information under the age of 18.(e.g.alcohol,cigarettes,Game fan site with violent expression)When you create a wiki, it might not be a big deal because it doesn't contain any content.--松 (talk) 10:39, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Wiki creators do not have to check all the request (if a wiki creator thinks s/he is not capable, s/he can leave it to other wiki creators). Moreover, what wiki creators can see is not the wiki itself but the reasoning of the request (and if a wiki is not private, anyone can see it regardless of the permissions). He is (or at least, he claims to be) around 17 and age does not matter a lot in this case.-- 16:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * If he is 17, my concerns will be removed.--松 (talk) 23:37, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I quite like the possibility of another Wiki Creator, and I will side in favor of this user.
 * This user seems trustworthy enough 16:22, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
