 * 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)

 * Successful. John (talk) 18:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

User: Amanda Catherine ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: To assist in cleaning out and preventing extensive backlogs in Special:RequestWikiQueue. I've noticed some backlogs going back several days (not the case as of writing, but that should never happen). IMO wikis should not be backlogged in the request queue for more than 48 hours, 72 hours at the absolute maximum. Now that I expect to be active again, I believe that I can help achieve this.

Additional comments: I previously held wiki creator rights, granted in July 2019. I voluntarily resigned in late August without being "under a cloud" or any other scrutiny (Special:Diff/81395) due to my unexpected wikibreak related to personal issues. However, given that I expect to be more active here, although perhaps not as proflic as I once was, I believe that I can volunteer as a wiki creator which I think is one of the most important volunteer positions to make sure there is no shortage of.

 * Comments/Questions


 * The user does not appear to be active on Meta (has less than 25 edits in the just under a month they have had an account), which is the only real criteria for wiki creator IMHO besides "not a jerk, has a clue". Additionally, the user failed to format this request properly despite there being boilerplate when opening a new request that clearly indicates what to change and what not to change, and they also didn't sign their comments here. Both of these things put question marks around the "has a clue" part of the general criteria for any permission. On top of that, being experienced with another hosting provider (such as Fandom as indicated) does not on its own indicate merit for wiki creatorship here, because every hosting system has a different style of handling new wikis. If I recall correctly, Miraheze is the only free host that actually requires you to request a wiki, and therefore experience with another host where users can create their own wikis on their own really does not demonstrate anything in terms of fulfilling the "has a clue" clause. Finally, the fact that the user is not active on Meta means that I cannot properly confirm that they satisfy the "not a jerk" clause since I have no record of how they interact with the local community here. Amanda Catherine (talk) 01:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Amanda Agree with this -- Sourav  Talk... 07:10, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I know that he's nice and helpful, but other than that I don't really know how he'd perform. I saw him confront a user that blocked him before, he said they were abusing rights, and I agree that the user was abusing rights, but Coco seemed pretty unprofessional during the incident. WickyHoney (talk) 01:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The 4th edit on Meta is a request for permissions. With not enough edits and a seeming tendency to hat collecting I would oppose this at this time. DeeM28 (talk) 08:05, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * While I believe that the user has good intentions, I also am aware that they have engaged in Sockpuppetry. Because of this, I cannot support. -EK ● 📝 ● 🌎 15:07, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

TheBuzzOnMaggieYes CaillouNo (sysop)
User: TheBuzzOnMaggieYes CaillouNo ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: So I can block people who break the rules, stop vandalism, and protect pages from vandalism, edit wars, etc.

 * No previous edits on Meta. Bonnedav (talk) 20:31, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * First things first, the elephant in the room: inappropriate username. Or at least, username with questionable appropriateness. That's an automatic deal breaker. However, username issues aside, I concur that with no previous edits on Meta, this user is not qualified to hold any advanced permissions, let alone sysop which is one of the largest and one where the most trust is required. Additionally, the request reason does not demonstrate a good understanding of what a Meta sysop would actually do on a regular basis. Edit wars in the true sense of the term almost never occur here, and pages are rarely protected as a result of vandalism (most high-importance pages are preemptively protected to prevent vandalism from happening). Vandalism on Meta quite frequently (but not always) goes hand-in-hand with cross wiki disruption and therefore is usually handled by a steward or CVT member, not just a Meta sysop. These are the kind of things that I would expect a candidate for Meta sysop, especially one who is not already a CVT member or a steward, to have mastery knowledge about. The fact that the user failed to sign their initial comments, while a minor issue, also doesn't help their cause. Sorry, but no. Amanda Catherine (talk) 22:14, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

User: Examknow ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: I would like to request sysop rights on Meta as I would like to get more involved on-wiki and I feel like becoming sysop would be a great way to do that. I could help with admin tasks such as deleting spam/accidental pages and dealing with any LTAs or vandals that might come our way. Our current sysop group here is rather small and I feel like it would be good to have some new members of the team.

Additional comments: It is also worth noting that have worked with and know how to use the abuse filters and I have developed many bots for Miraheze on IRC.

 * 1)  I personally feel that you will do well, and I like that you know things about the Abuse Filter and bots. You certainly are quite active, so I will be supporting as of now. WickyHoney (talk) 06:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  as well. We can definitely always use more local Meta administrators, I think, as the Stewards and System Administrators all wear so many hats. Looking at your number of attached accounts and the bot(s) on one or more of them, I probably would've thought you'd go for Global Sysop given your express interest in counter-vandalism efforts (and we can also use more global sysops, I think), but you've got a purpose as a local administrator, and we do need more of them, as you stated, so I have no problems supporting.

User: MrJaroslavik ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: Hey, i know, i am not here for long time, but i need any sysops perms. I work on pages intended for translation and sometimes it is necessary to delete part of the translation (for example after translation unit sorting change) + any pages are fully locked (protected), so i cannot edit it. Rights for mark pages for translation are great too (it is necessary after aby for example category or typo update). I know about TA but it don't have right for pages deletion. This is request for limited time only adminship (1 month), any questions? Ask me. Thanks for consideration.

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  your translations seem fine from the checks performed, got a use, you are trusted. Be careful, sensible and ask if you need help :)  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  10:34, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  This delegation of administrative permissions is a bit unusual but the user seems to be trusted so I do not think it is that bad as long as the user only uses the permissions for that purpose and nothing else. DeeM28 (talk) 15:19, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * 3)  I think that when you couldn't edit those translation pages alone, you shouldn't have edited (pasted delete) them and  should only made a request to AN. When I first looked at those edits(ex, this version), I mistakenly recognized your edits as vandalism. --そらたこ (talk) 01:35, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * 4)  Fairly active on meta, knows a language that I don't believe is known by any of the current admins, has a genuine use case, and is trusted on WMF. I would actually probably support granting indefinite sysop as long as they don't abuse during this period. If it is made temporary and not extended, then in light of their translation contributions, I believe they shuld be allowed to keep Translation Administrator after their sysop period, and maybe Rollbacker as well. So that they may continue to contribute to meta in an increased capacity. Bonnedav (talk) 14:14, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

User: Rock ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I want to help with wiki requests and believe that I can be active when others are not there. And I know its principles.I know my short edits but I have experience about wiki.

Additional comments: Why I want to get this right?

Answer: Because I want to help Miraheze

 * 1)  Can i Just say your reasoning is weak and the fact your not really giving a strong reason of why you should be given this role. Can you please explain how you plan to use the role? i Don't Feel your reasoning is strong enough? --Cocopuff2018  20:35, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  Your reason is not sufficient, and you haven't made enough of a mark on this wiki to portray yourself as a good candidate for this position. WickyHoney (talk) 20:50, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , very regrettably, per the above. I really dislike opposing candidates and would've preferred to abstain (that is, not provide opposition but not support either) per, well, the candidate's own lack of any provided explanation they understand the role, Content Policy, and Dormancy Policy. As well, while not necessarily a reason to oppose, per my own criteria, I am also somewhat troubled that this request was made merely eight minutes after the candidate requested re-addition of administrator and bureaucrat rights. As I stated elsewhere, I would strongly suggest, here or there, creating a personal sandbox and performing some constructive editing and writing sample tests. Thanks. If all of that were done, I'd be happy to potentially support in another month or two. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  Lets start with this...First off your reasoning is not strong enough. Another thing is the amount of local edits you have I would like to see more edits out of you then maybe a vote from me can come in the future I would suggest sticking around and getting to know more users, learning more about Miraheze/meta before your request is considered for my vote. Sorry --Cocopuff2018  23:39, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Successful. John (talk) 19:00, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

User: Dmehus ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: Looking through our current list of wiki creators, I see that we have about 23 wiki creators; however, of those, only about 12 have been active in the past thirty days. Given that we're all volunteers, we can't reasonably mandate a certain number of hours of activity per week. Plus, it's the summer season, so many are on vacation, some for extended periods. We should ideally aim to have all wikis created in less than 24 hours, subject to the requests providing sufficient explanation as to the requested wiki's scope and so forth. Finally, since we're all in different timezones, we should ideally aim to have 2-3 wiki creators from each of the timezones, as this should allow for absences, short periods of inactivity, etc., whilst still ensuring there's always a wiki creator available. Seeing a lot of wiki creation requests outstanding for several days in the past week, and similar to MrJaroslavik's request at the top of this page on wanting to help out with the wiki creation backlog, and having read our Content Policy and Dormancy Policy several times, I feel that I can make a positive contribution in this area (in addition to my contributions over at Public Test Wiki).

 * Comments/Questions
 * 1)  Have you read the Content Policy and Wiki creators guide? If a wiki request said "Wiki to work on stuff" would you decline or accept? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 09:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  While I have had very limited interactions with this user and I do agree that Cocopuff2018 could've better elucidated their nomination's reason to indicate their knowledge of the Content Policy, I did have one positive interaction with the user on Discord in which they looked at an outstanding wiki creation request from a user and said, at the same time as I was composing my own response to the user, that the the wiki requestor's description was not adequate enough. They also suggested improvements, not as detailed as my response, but still sufficiently detailed enough that it would've been clear to the wiki requestor had Cocopuff2018 been a wiki creator. So, for that reason, I personally have no objection to Cocopuff2018's nomination. A clearer explanation from Cocopuff2018 would move me more firmly from the no opposition to clear support column. Dmehus (talk) 13:15, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * hi so if someone said a wiki to just work on i will decline this request clearly has not enough detail to prove why the wiki should be created i will also ask them for more details of what there plans are to do with the wiki --Cocopuff2018  14:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  You say you are patient, which you misspelled, but I do not think you are patient enough because you seem like you are in a hurry to type. You also misspell way too often to provoke any serious authority from you; with me at least. Please act like this is a job, not an achievement. WickyHoney (talk) 07:16, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  Your reason is unfortunately enough to push me from  to . It's full of grammatical and spelling issues and clearly rushed which is exactly what it says you won't do.  ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  14:29, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Symbol support vote.svg Weak support and no opposition The typographical errors and rushed self-nomination for the position, identified by WickyHoney and RhinosF1 above, do give me pause, but as I said above, I have no real reason to oppose as we do need more than one more wiki creator. The user does have a clue with regard to our Content Policy and I have seen instances on Discord in which the user stated how they would handle certain borderline requests. So, call this a moral support, with the view to a strong(er) support in another month or two. When and if you renominate yourself, I would strongly encourage you to make use of the "show preview" button before posting your nomination. A fully formatted nomination, mostly free of small typos (a couple exceptions are always forgivable, if you correct them right away), would likely see you supported unanimously or near unanimously. Dmehus (talk) 15:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 4)  I like the idea of having more users and users being encouraged to volunteer more but I do not think that this user is ready yet for the task of being wiki creator and I do not know if they would have enough judgement to take care of requests. I think it would be best to wait and show that you are capable. DeeM28 (talk) 17:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

User: MrJaroslavik ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: Good evening all. As probably you know, about a month ago, I was request a temporary sysop rights. Now I would request permanent sysop rights. Unfortunately, I failed to complete all the tasks as I intended, only a part. In part, this was because I was handling (patrol) of new pages on the Czech Wikipedia (due to coronavirus is backlog of new pages long). Now I will have a lot of free time (summer holidays) and I think I can also help with other administrators tasks, such as blocking LTA, deleting, granting rights, ... And of course I will complete all tasks I wanted this month. Any questions? Ask me. Thanks for consideration. Regards-- MrJaroslavik (talk) 22:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 * 1)   May I first mention, you have a weak reason to be requesting Wiki Creator. After looking at your edits, I would like to see more edits out of you before requesting to become a wiki creator, and would like you to prove to me and others that you are willing to take the responsibility of the role along with earning trust at the moment I have not seen enough evidence to prove you are ready to take this role, to me it looks like you rushed when you made this request and just want the role without a good reason attached to it. And due to your weak reason only proves you're not ready to become a Wiki Creator and you were rushing when making this request may I recommend you try again in a few months? Thanks and Happy Editing!!! --Cocopuff2018  22:11, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) I have seen that you have made many good edits around miraheze in total, and I would like to support you, but your reasoning is not really detailed, and it is not really a proper reasoning. In addition, you did not answer the questions. Maybe read up on the rules, keep going with your contributions, and re request in a few weeks, and you would likely get it! --TFFfan (talk) 11:16, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Per the candidate's own lack of a clear rationale in their nomination statement and the fact that they've yet to answer any of the questions posted, several days in to the nomination. Put simply, I can't assess whether the candidate understands Content Policy and Dormancy Policy, which are crucial for wiki creators to understand. So, on that basis alone, I can't support, but I also can't oppose, either. Dmehus (talk) 19:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Here is my answers
 * 1 Deny, because the wiki would be used for a chat room, because a wiki is not a forum.
 * 2 Accept, because it provides an account of what life would be like, and it provides historically accurate information. It could be used for educational purposes.
 * 3 Accept, because it could be an educational resource for political students looking for information about issues on all areas of the political spectrum, and for people wanting to get information about different sides of things, including the farther sides.
 * 4 Deny, because the content policy states that "A wiki must not create problems which make it difficult for other wikis." This could create difficulties in the other wiki, and could cause a dispute between editors, and cause others to not edit in good faith.

Your answer to Q. 2 and 3 were correct, though I would just add that, for Q. 3, there could be other acceptable use cases as well. For Q. 1, we could have wikis that are, predominantly, used as forums, so you would be right to "deny" that request, but you would be denying it because there is not a clear topic. We need more information. For Q. 4, you would also be right to deny this request, but could've just clarified your response with a bit more information. So I would say you got all the answers correct, but for Q. 1 and 4, your rationales were either partially incorrect or could've been better articulated. As I say, though, your answers were great considering these were somewhat tough questions for a wiki creator that aren't often asked at Requests for permissions. Overall, great job! :) Dmehus (talk) 21:29, 24 July 2020 (UTC)


 * , possibly somewhat weak, per my positive interactions with and their responses. Some responses had varying degrees of correctness; other responses could've been improved. Nevertheless, nothing stands out, on its own, as a reason to either abstain or oppose. Crucially, the candidate is acting in good-faith in all or substantially all of their contributioons. Moreover, the candidate has shown a strong capacity to learn from their mistakes, which effectively nullifies any incorrect or somewhat incorrect responses they may have given above. If in doubt, ask questions of colleagues and/or follow-up with the requestor for more information, and you should do fine. Dmehus (talk) 18:27, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

User: Universal Omega ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I want to become a wiki creator, not just to be one, but in order to help out the Miraheze volunteers in any way I can. So I want to start out by helping out with this. It allows me to assist them with this position. The Miraheze volunteers are already extremely busy, and I just want to diminish their workload in any way I possibly can.

Additional comments: I understand I have not been around on Miraheze for as long as most, but I do believe I understand enough about how Miraheze is run to be able to successfully be a wiki creator. Even if I do not get to be a wiki creator to assist, I hope someone else does, if only to assist the already extremely busy, and very accommodating Miraheze volunteers. Even if I am unable to help in this capacity, I do hope to continue to assist in a non-positioned capacity whenever I can. Thank you.

 * --Dmehus (talk) 05:51, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Here is my answers to those.
 * Deny, because for one, the description is a bit vague saying "and stuff", and secondly a wiki is not meant for chatting. If you want something just to chat with, then Discord would be a better option than a wiki.
 * Accept, because wikis are meant to contain historical information. Although this may be a non-factual wiki, it still depicts historical information.
 * Accept, although some information may be non-factual, that is their choice. This type of wiki may be beneficial for certain audiences looking for certain material.
 * That one depends, I think it'd warrant a delay in either decision until an investigation is conducted whether or not it may cause difficulty, violate the policies of Miraheze, or does create duplicate content, that may lead to violation of copyright rules, or causes damage to the already existing, more established wiki.

 * As another matter, would you mind updating the timestamp format for your signature as . The small font and font colour are not problems, but if that comma, UTC parenthetical, and the fully spelled out month aren't there exactly, the bot has trouble reading the timestamps correctly and won't archive threads in which you've posted last to the thread. Dmehus (talk) 06:50, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * As long as someone else posted in the same thread with the standard timestamp, it will be archived. It's just that those with non-standard is ignored when calculating the time to decide whether to archive them. (And no, I am not going to support any other timestamps other than MW default.) &mdash; <tt>revi</tt>  06:57, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks for your reply. I honestly hadn't expected you to have the ability, or desire, to read the notifications/pings where Revibot is mentioned. Thanks for the added information, and I'm in complete agreement with you that we should all be using standard timestamps (adjusted only for font face or size); however, that doesn't seem to be occurring. We've had a number of threads on other Meta noticeboards in which another user, who also uses a transcluded signature (which doesn't seem to be the issue), uses a non-standard timestamp that omits the comma following the time, inserts hyphens between the date elements, abbreviates the month, and does not include the "UTC." If it simply ignores that comment because of the non-standard signature timestamp, how come it didn't archive the threads according to the previous comments (in the same thread) that had the standard timestamp format? Dmehus (talk) 15:13, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I understand where you are coming from, however, I do understand the Content Policy at least enough to do the job successfully (I did read it entirely), although, I have also read the dormancy policy, and know and understand it enough to have seen that the dormancy policy is not handled by wiki creators (it states: "All wikis eligible for deletion will be deleted at the discretion of the system administrators," although that is not exactly the core of the policy, it does mention system admins, not wiki creators, which is my point here, it also mentions stewards in it, but nowhere does it mention wiki creators at all), although it is still crucial for wiki creators to understand and know, it is not as big of a deal as knowing the content policy, as the content policy is the major determinate in whether a wiki should be created or declined. None-the-less, I respect and understand your opinion and vote here. Thank you!  19:18, 23 July 2020 (UTC) ］ |

Nevertheless, from my interactions with you on Discord, you have a solid technical aptitude and I'm reasonably comfortable with your willingness to heed advice from other wiki creators.

Cuddly Rainbow Guardian (Wiki creator)
User: Cuddly Rainbow Guardian ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: there are many wikis being requested that violate the content policy, such as wikis with no purpose or ones that supposedly promote hate, like most of the so called "remakes" of reception wikis. i saw that one of the wikis requested recently sounded like a remake of an already existing wiki, toxic fandoms & hatedoms. the original reception wikis were obviously made for the sole purpose of constructive criticism. i am even an admin on one of them myself (which is unfavorable wikis and users, to be exact,and we avoid drama.) also, i want to create people's wikis, but sometimes give further explanations to them and help the creators out. a majority of the ones i want to create are things from my field of interest, like animation, television, and art.

 * Successful. John (talk) 17:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

User: Dmehus ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: Meta is one of my two home wikis (the other being Public Test Wiki) where I am most active. Indeed, my edits on Meta comprise more than 60% of my total global edit contributions on Miraheze. On Meta, I am particularly active on all the noticeboards, answering users' questions, as a wiki creator and translation administrator, fixing broken redirects and double redirects, adding forgotten or missed signatures and timestamps to users' posts, adding to and creating informational content pages, and just generally performing a lot of WikiGnome- and WikiJanitor-type edits that, together, help to improve Meta overall. Additionally, I am also active as a patroller on Meta and, in the course of both my patrolling and WikiGnoming, frequently encounter pages that either require (a) deletion or (b) a retitling, where a trailing redirect would be unhelpful and/or unnecessary. Finally, as part of that maintenance and upkeep, I am still finding the need for certain templates (i.e., resolution templates, soft redirect templates, interwiki link templates, and similar). Speaking privately with other Meta administrators, there was a general agreement that certain enhanced tools (notably,,  , and  ) would be useful to me as part of my continued maintenance and content writing that I bring to Meta.

Over the near- to medium-term, with the  flag on my account, I intend to resolve outstanding issues with redirects (whether broken, double, or some other issue), improve the categorization of the templates on Meta, and implement a redirect categorization scheme to better track and categorize redirects (especially cross-namespace redirects), in addition to daily   chores like monitoring and actioning Category:Candidates for deletion, tending to requests on the Meta administrators' noticeboard, and all of the other daily tasks I've already been doing.

Over the medium- to long-term, I have a couple ideas that I've discussed with and others, privately and principally on Discord, aimed at improving the overall user experience for Meta users (especially new users). Drafts of these ideas would be built and tagged as such, and would be used a mock-ups to build community support for implementing the ideas in a future community discussion.

Finally, while not the primary focus for my reason for requesting Meta administrator user rights, several days ago where was an instance where there were no local Meta administrators or stewards available on Discord and, in the course of my patrolling, I noted a nonsense/attack-style page that I immediately tagged for deletion. Had I had already been a Meta administrator, I could've simply deleted the page and the sockpuppet account of an LTA user could've been blocked before it had had a chance to make more than a single edit. So, having another Meta administrator, based in the Pacific time zone (UTC -07:00), especially one who is also the most active non-administrator user on Meta, would be very beneficial in (hopefully very rare) cases like this.

I welcome any question(s) users may have and look forward to your supporting my request for permissions. Dmehus (talk) 20:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much for your supporting my candidacy and, in particular, for your concern for the workload, which I feel quite strongly is definitely manageable. Many system administrators, stewards, and Meta administrators frequently hold and manage multiple roles. Having concluded my post-secondary studies as a library technician and not working on a permanent full- or part-time basis, I have a lot of time, and am treating my Miraheze volunteerism as though it were a full-time job. Consistent with Code of Conduct provision #5, if my other life priorities were to change in a materially significant way that I were no longer able to contribute as actively in the past, I would plan for a gradual withdrawal of certain roles that I could still manage. As well, while multiple roles may seem like a lot of involvement, it's really not. For example, currently, the requests for interwiki table additions are very minimal (though, through my wiki outreach efforts and planned future changes to be discussed with the community, there may be more requests). In tandem with those changes, with the local outreach, we should also see more local interwiki administrators appointed, and have a more streamlined global interwiki requests system that, together, create a more efficient process. Similarly, I take WP:NODEADLINES seriously, and use that in my managing my workload, bumping things that take higher priority. Anyway, I hope this addresses your concern for my ability to juggle the workload, but it's really about providing me, as a very active user, with the necessary tools and bits that actually make my workload management both much easier and more efficient.

User: Cocopuff2018 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: It has been a few months now and I am ready to request wiki creator so here is why I want to be a wiki creator because I want to help out more...not just because I want wiki creator for the heck of it, but with this role it will let me help out more and I understand I may have had a little bit of an "Oops" on the Discord server with 2 users and I am extremely sorry but want to move on from that and keep helping others and help out the community. I have read all I need to know about becoming a wiki creator and would like to do more around here now here is my proposal. While being wiki creator, an advanced user, has said he would help to guide me in this next step. However if you oppose me, then I will not be able to learn how to advance in this kind of stuff and I think wiki creator is a good start for me. If a user gives a reason like "Just Because," I will decline the  request and ask them to give me a better reason for it to be created I understand how to handle this role and am ready to reach the next level.

 * We do always need more wiki creators and I'm reasonably comfortable the user has a decent grasp of Content Policy to fulfill the responsibilities. Take heed of all the advice given from fellow wiki creators, in terms of feedback on your wiki creations.

 * I feel that this user does not have a good enough judgement to be able to effectively create wikis and determine which wikis should be created or not. Based on their recent behavior on Discord and their disregard for the CoC, I would not support them for wiki creator. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 04:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , at least for now. Please display for us, the community, that you are willing to do the work of a wiki creator, even without the rights. Contact users on their talk pages about potentially problematic wiki requests. Discuss how they can be improved, or why they won't be approved (e.g. Code of Conduct or Content Policy violations). Please know and acknowledge that only a minority of volunteer work (I'm talking like 2 clicks max when it comes to wiki creation) consists of clicking some extra buttons. You can always volunteer the best you can without the tools. I hope to see you back here soon! dross  (t • c • g) 05:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Alternative proposal idea - a time-limited wiki creator?
 * Given the above concerns, there are clearly some outstanding issues, mainly relating to trust. Is it possible that we could potentially support a time-limited wiki creator role (say, for 30 days)? I realize this would require the candidate to re-request this user right in that timeframe, but at the same time, it would allow the candidate to demonstrate that they're going to meaningfully take to heart the guidance of their fellow wiki creators. If they do not take the guidance, then the community will likely be reluctant to re-confirm their status in a month's time. Dmehus (talk) 02:26, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * As I said on Discord to, I thought it was a bit few weeks too early to request wiki creator, but I'm willing to assume good-faith here. If the approvals were so problematic in that thirty day timeframe, any Mirahezian can make a request for revocation to stewards at Stewards' noticeboard, citing appropriate evidence of WP:IDHT-type behaviour that the temporary wiki creator isn't taking heed of the advice given. Dmehus (talk) 02:43, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * In this section, it's a bit mysterious that voting will take place.The only purpose of this section is whether or not the candidate accepts the proposal to re-run for a limited time.The candidate has accepted this, so it's better to close this poll entirely and wait for the request to be sent again.--松•Matsu (talk) 03:11, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * When I created this sub-section, it was originally only intended to serve as a discussion on formulating an alternative proposal. The initial idea I put out there was actually to, instead of the above section passing, this idea, or the more formulated idea that stemmed from this, was to see whether there would instead be support for the candidate to serve as wiki creator on a temporary basis. If they did not resubmit a new application on this page before the temporary right had expired, then they would no longer be a wiki creator. Nonetheless, the discussion does seem to be moot now, and it's probably best for the candidate, as I suggested to them, to put some distance between their applications for global or Meta user rights. suggested a timeframe of three months on his user talk page, which seems reasonable.

User: Reception123 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Bureaucrat Reason: Reception123 needs little introduction, as one of the early system administrators, a current Global Sysop, and one of one of the two longest currently serving, community elected Code of Conduct Commission commissioners. Currently, Meta only has the two founding bureaucrats, John and Southparkfan, both of whom hold multiple roles as either a steward and lead Site Reliability Engineer, in John's case, or as the director of the system administrators and technical team-nominated board director, in Southparkfan's case. Given Reception123's level of activity on Meta, which is currently not outpaced by any other Meta user, he should be able to ensure local Meta permissions requests, bot account requests, interface administrator requests, and any local Meta RfCs are closed within a reasonable timeframe. As well, as part of prudent business continuity best practices, it just makes sense to have more than two local bureaucrats in case one is sidelined temporarily for reasons of illness, power outage, or similar. So, with that, I'm pleased to nominate Reception123 to this position, and kindly ask that you wait until the candidate has accepted before !voting.

He has been an active contributor on Miraheze since March 2020 and already got over 500 edits across some wikis. He has admin rights on some Japanese wikis. And he uses those permissions properly. He is also kind and does what is best for Miraheze. I think he understand the Miraheze policies well. Content Policy, TOU and other global policies.

In addition, he is native speaker of Japanese. Miraheze always has many Japanese wiki requests, so he will be helpful. --そらたこ (talk) 03:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

However, seeing as  (Soratako) has nominated them, I'm willing to defer, completely, to Soratako's judgment here as we do need more Japanese language speaking wiki creators. So, I'm happy to support.

 * 3)  mainly per Dmehus, but I have had no interaction with the user, nor never heard of them, therefore I unfortunately can't give a great vote for support. However I'm willing to assume good faith and based off of the nomination being from a current wiki creator, and trusted member of the community, trust their judgement and give a weak support at least.  02:14, 25 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |
 * 4)  This user contributed this wiki 2 months ago, I think it's too early for Wiki Creator. Sorry...  10:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 5)  It's too early, and you're new and, on top of that, I don't feel you understand the wiki creation rules. Sorry try again in a few months --Cocopuff2018  13:44, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 6)  If there was a wiki request (for a public wiki) that had the description "This is a wiki that will be used by me and my friends" what would you do? Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 14:00, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll ask you what exactly you're going to use that wiki for and make a decision from there.--  ko  yo  mi  ya  5438   05:56, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a good answer to that question. Just a head's up, there's currently a known issue with "request comments" in RequestWiki wherein the requestor isn't notified via e-mail when you add a comment, so you have two options. One, you can add a comment, and notify them on their user talk page to go back and add to their existing description with the needed information. Or, two, you "decline" the request, procedurally, with your comments requesting more information and telling them to go back into Special:RequestWikiEdit/ ##### , where  #####  represents the wiki request ID, and add the needed information. Most of the wiki creators use the latter approach, including me, but either approach works. Dmehus (talk) 14:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  彼はウィキペディアでは巻き戻し者の権限を持っています. とても信頼でき、頼りになります. --デーモン閣下 (talk) 06:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipediaでは巻き戻し者の権限持ってません. 人違いだと思われます. --  ko  yo  mi  ya  5438   09:22, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1)  I weakly support this because while I didn't hear this user, we do need japanese wiki creators, as there's going to be japenese wiki requests coming.   Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 12:43, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm checking her/his user page, it appears to suspend activity on meta. She/He's a Japanese speaker so should I ask if she/he declines on her/his talk page?--松•Matsu (talk) 06:58, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Due to a busy schedule in the real world, I'm taking a break for six months to a year. I'm sorry to tell you, そらたこ(soratako), but I'm going to have to decline this request for now.--  ko  yo  mi  ya  5438   13:06, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
