 * 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)

I would recommend starting your own wiki, become a better known member of the community, and then come back in about 4-5 months and request sysop. For now, I am going to have to say no to this.

 * 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.

Additional comments: i have been experienced with fandom and i am capable of handling request like these i think i should be given the opportunity to help others as i am good at doing so.

 * 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)

 * 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)

Examknow (sysop)
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.

 * Comments/Questions


 * 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.
