Universal Omega (Wiki creator)
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.

 * Comments/Questions
 * Please tell us how you action the following request(s). (Please reply following the format of the above two open requests.):
 * Sitename reads as "Star Wiki" and description reads "for fun, chat and stuff."
 * A wiki containing writings and information depicting what life would be like if the Germans had been victorious in World War II.
 * A wiki, sufficiently defined topicly, which epouses non-mainstream, far-right (or far-left) views and information, some of which may be factually correct but some of which may not.
 * A wiki, sufficiently defined topicly, which may have the same or similar purpose or scope as existing wikis but which isn't a wholly duplicate mirror of an existing wiki.
 * --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.

 * , Thanks for answering so quickly. I will not respond with the answers to the questions until after the other candidate has answered.
 * Since you and have now answered the questions and the other request has been closed, I can try and provide you some guidance with respect your answers. Your answers to Q. 1 through 4 were correct. For Q. 1, we could have wikis that are, predominantly, used as forums, as you would be right to "deny" that request, in a procedural fashion because there is not a clear topic. We need more information. For Q. 4, you would also be right to deny this request, and you hit the nail on the proverbial head with your rationale. Your response to Q. 4 was also impressive as you would be wise to probe for more information. 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) 21:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 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; revi  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) ］ |


 * Some of your answers were either fully or somewhat on point; other answers weren't quite right or were incorrect. 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. If in doubt, defer. If you are unsure, ask on Discord or IRC and you should do just fine. Dmehus (talk) 06:50, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem like a good candidate, and it appears you read the rules with your answers to the questions. I think that you could work great as a wiki creator. --TFFfan (talk) 10:03, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

そらたこ (Wiki creator)
User: そらたこ ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I only support Japanese requests. Before, when I was invited by 松, I didn't run for because there were two active creators who are native speaker of Japanese. These days, they are not so active, so I run for the creator. I will resign when they become active again. You won't need to use Google Translate to decide whether to approve or decline. --そらたこ (talk) 08:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * 2)  per nominee's statement and above. I like that they will only focus on Japanese requests as that's what they're comfortable with and, per  above, we do need more Japanese and really any wiki creators that speak any of the Asian languages. So, this LGTM. Dmehus (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

We can always use more wiki creators from the Asian region. Dmehus (talk) 01:33, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Dmehus (sysop)

 * 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.

 * Unsucessful. John (talk) 17:12, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

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 would also strongly recommend, but wouldn't necessarily require, that asks different wiki creators to peer review their declines and approvals, especially the approvals, for the first 30 days or so, and implement any constructive criticism and feedback given.

 * 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.

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.

Additional comments: i dunno.

 * 2)  I've never heard of this user, I suggest they wait until they have more contributions globally and/or on meta. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 17:42, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 3)  I'm somewhat familiar with the user, over at Public Test Wiki where they requested testing permissions, but have yet to make use of them. Importantly, I don't get a good enough sense from your reason that you understand and can apply Content Policy to wiki creation decisions, so my oppose is strictly weak on that basis as we do need more wiki creators. Dmehus (talk) 17:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 4)  I am pretty familiar with this user and has a okay reason, but there is a bit of issue with applying Content Policy onto wiki creation decisions. However, I can give an abstain as we do need a little more wiki creators.  CircleyDoesExtracter  ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 18:10, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 5)  I don't think this user understand our wiki creation policy's and feel its a bit early  I would suggest making more edits and trying again in a few months (: --Cocopuff2018  18:24, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Reception123 (Bureaucrat)
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.

Nominated by: Dmehus (talk) 15:37, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I accept the nomination. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 15:51, 21 August 2020 (UTC) I would like to thank Dmehus for the nomination, and while there are not many things to do as Meta bureaucrat besides close permission requests and RfCs, I think I could be useful and handle things quicker, especially since the two current bureaucrats have many other responsibilities and work to do as Dmehus also pointed out.

 * 2)  Now if I could give an even stronger support I would, I fully support Reception123 as bureaucrat.  15:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |
 * 3)  Reception is working on Miraheze strong since 2015, and I can guarantee that he will be ready for bureaucrat.  CircleyDoesExtracter  ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 15:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 4)  I like your reasoning but can you also point out other things you will do with this high rank and or other task you will use this role for? --Cocopuff2018  05:30, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * As I said in my acceptance message, there are not too many things that bureaucrats on Meta can do. If I am elected, I will close successful local requests such as sysop, for example as well as close any local RfCs in which I am not implicated. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 05:35, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Koyomiya5438 (Wiki creator)
User: Koyomiya5438 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: I would like to nominate Koyomiya5438 for the wiki creator.

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)

 * 1)  Trusted. Helpful. --そらたこ (talk) 10:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  I am only somewhat familiar with, in terms of contributions over at Public Test Wiki, which have been fine, so I cannot make an independent assessment of the candidate's understanding of Content Policy. 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. Dmehus (talk) 17:35, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 7) 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)

 * 10)  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)
