Magogre (Wiki creator)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * There is consensus here that the candidate is active on Meta Wiki, principally, and generally competent from their observations of the user's edits and other logged actions. Though there is no discussion on the candidate's understanding of the principal policy for wiki creators, there is also also no apparent dispute at present with regard to the candidate's belief in their stated understanding of Content Policy and ability to apply it in not only wiki request approvals but wiki request declines. On that point, and as a practical matter, I would encourage the candidate to exercise caution and, where they are unsure, to refer to colleagues or to stewards for advice. If unsure on whether to approve a wiki request, it is rarely, if ever, a problem to ask the wiki requestor for more details on the purpose and scope of their wiki. Additionally, it is never a problem to place it on hold for another wiki creator or steward if they are still unsure. That's all part of demonstrating good judgment in one's approach. Accordingly, this request is ✅, and I'll follow up with customary wiki creator tips following this close. Dmehus (talk) 04:35, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Group: Wiki creator Reason: Hi. I am Magogre, formerly edited as User:Mazzaz. I would like to become a wiki creator to help reviewing the wiki requests. I have been active since June 2021 and regularly edit Meta. I have read all the related policies and guides and I believe I have a good understanding of relevant policies such as Content Policy and Dormancy Policy. Thanks! --Magogre (talk) 10:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Apart from my main account (Magogre), I have used the following accounts to edit Miraheze: (used for tests on PTW),.The latter two were already disclosed on my User page and I don't know their passwords. --Magogre (talk) 07:45, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Questions for candidate

 * 1) What is your -N native language? Is there any notable work you have done on meta in this language?  dross  (t • c • g) 18:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 * A: My native language is ks-N (more specifically ks-arab-N) but I don't write it well. I know Urdu (ur-3) and a little Hindi I haven't contributed in my native language but I have translated pages into Urdu. I have also created pages in English such as Closed wikis and the recent one Shortcuts. --Magogre (talk) 18:35, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

 * , given Mag has been a regular contributor for some time, has been found in various areas of Miraheze doing decent work beyond just here, and in my experience has been open to communicate and discuss logic for decisions as well, something I think is desirable for holders of the WC bit. As far as his knowledge, I have not seen evidence to question it even if I don't think it's been tested often enough to say. But really, this bit is where it actually starts getting tested anyways. Ultimately I think his judgement is competent enough to carry the distance. --Raidarr (talk) 13:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

 * 3) I would like to make clear that I do not so much appreciate that the Wiki Creator group feels as though it has become a sort of "hat collecting" responsibility with the nearly unnecessary combined amounts of wiki creators and functionaries we currently have. However, I foresee serious benefit to having a wiki creator who might be able to fill some of the current approval time gaps. Considering all, I am inclined to believe that Magogre would be effective with this access.  dross  (t • c • g) 07:27, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * 4)  While it is true we are well stocked with wiki creators and that we don't tend to have a huge backlog generally with most requests being processed in a relatively short amount of time, having another active member on the team wouldn't hurt. We generally tend to fluctuate between 2-5 active wiki creators out of 23 wiki creators at this present moment so having a wiki creator who is actually active would be wonderful. Additionally, I also agree with Dross' statement above about Magorge being able to undertake this responsibility.  Agent Isai  Talk to me! 07:59, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
