 * 1)  The user has been actively collaborating with the project for less than a month. It is necessary to collaborate for a longer time and to be involved in habitual areas of the administrators in Meta (like to revert vandalism and mark pages for deletion). I know the work of this user in other projects and I have no doubt that in the future he will be a good administrator! —Alvaro Molina  (✉  - ✔ ) 00:20, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * My account has existed since the beginning of October. I have been active here for longer than a month. I mean to work with translations, delete spam pages, help out with the wiki etc. When I was active here last year, I did some of that, and just the other day, I notified a steward of some spam pages.

 * 1)  This user has just recently come back, has been contributing actively but I have had to undo their edits a couple of times (including blanking their talkpage), which makes me think they are not capable of being a sysop at this time. For translations, I'd say if you think it is necessary translation administrator could work, rather than full sysop. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 05:12, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

MacFan4000 (translationadmin)
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: translationadmin Reason: (Following https://github.com/miraheze/mw-config/pull/1673#issuecomment-328136211 ) I have been doing plenty with translations (including the fact that I have translationadmin rights on mw.org. It would be nice if I could mark pages for translation. I am experienced with translation markup. MacFan4000 (talk) 16:10, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

 * 1)  Since this is a more specific request, and I see that you know how translations work, this would be a good idea. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 05:17, 20 October 2017 (UTC)


 * This I am wondering what opinions people have on this? MacFan4000 (talk) 01:18, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

MacFan4000 (sysop)
User: MacFan4000 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: sysop Reason: I have been active for about 2 months now. I am currently a wiki creator and am autopatrolled. I have done some translation work here and plan to do more, but haven't done it yet because it would be tedious to do it without the pagetranslation permission. I have marked pretty much anything I see that doesn't belong here for deletion. I currently run my own mediawiki server, so I am experienced with the permissions. I hope to make meta a better place.

 * 1)  I support. Good work. -- Hersitede (talk) 17:38, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 2)  Unfortunately, my comments on the request you made a month and a half ago still stand. I still believe that sometimes you tend to take rash decisions, which would not be a good thing in an administrator role. The translation part should not be a reason to request sysop, if you need that you can request translation administrator, and if supported the permission can be created. There are currently 5 Meta sysops, and any deletions/protections/etc. have been done quickly, so I don't see a need for an extra person currently. Also, running a MediaWiki server is also different to being a wiki administrator. Reception123  (talk) ('C' ) 17:55, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I learn as I go basically. I eventually get better and better. At least 2 or 3 of the current sysops are not very active right now. I run the server and I have sysop rights on the wiki itself. MacFan4000 (talk) 18:43, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * 1)  I have not dealt with you until this morning, when you reached into my userspace and deleted Category:Miraheze help from my working copy of FAQ.  (The evidence is gone, and the problem is gone too, as the page is deleted and NDKilla installed most of my edits in the real copy.)  This suggests a zeal to clean up the wiki rather than figure out exactly what is going on (or ask me).  Based on my work at Wikia Uncyclopedia dealing with newbies whose eagerness to acquire power to do a job overtakes the need for the job to be done (and who rebut each ballot cast), I'll support Reception123.   00:48 20-Oct-2017
