 * 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)

 * 1)  hes a good user why not. --Cocopuff2018  22:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 2)  Easily one of the most active users on Miraheze Meta. And his contributions for Miraheze speak for themselves. I am giving my full support!  23:45, 10 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |
 * 3)  Likely one of the most active users on Miraheze Meta. I can easily make big support, but it's slightly a bit too fast, to be honest, but still. One of my favorite users on Meta.  CircleyDoesExtracter  ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud ) 01:21, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 4)  Arguably one of the best and active user.  02:22, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 5)  Considering that she/he is currently running for Consul and Interwiki administrator at the same time.I'm worried that her/his work will be too much.However,there is no reason to disagree, so we will consider weak support.--松•Matsu (talk) 15:50, 12 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.

 * Comments/Questions
 * I don't know anything about this user. 01:12, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The user does seem to understand Miraheze and it's content policy, and we could always use more help with wiki creations. 01:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC) ］ |
 * 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.

 * Immature and doesn't maintain a consistent stature. --GondorChicken (talk) 01:36, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @GondorChicken I can say I highly disagree with you I am mature and I don’t even know you how can you even say I’m inmuture I am a mature young man and disagree with your vote towards me and I am fully Muture enough to handle wiki creator and can fully maintain a status atleast give me a shot at wiki creator to prove you wrong. --Cocopuff2018  01:53, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * User is incompetent and cannot follow Code of Conduct, I do not trust him with any advanced user right including wiki creator, and wont in the near future. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 01:54, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I also find the fact they call violating the code of conduct an "Oops" unsettling. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 02:10, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @Zppix dude I want to help out too how am I suppose to help out if I cannot be wiki creator ?? I mean people do change and I can follow the code of conduct I made some mistakes but i dislike your comment for reasons and dishonor your comment towards my request I can Do the impossible and I am trying to earn trust what happend via discord and irc should have no effect on my request --Cocopuff2018 02:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Theres plently to do, clerking, etc... as long as you follow local policies, but at this time in my capacity as a system administrator and a volunteer I do not feel you are competent and able to follow global policies enough to have wiki creator Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 02:12, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * because @Zppix your never gonna support me for anything like I am trying to change and you cannot seem to accept that or see it I’m sorry but same thing Still dishonor your response toward my vote --Cocopuff2018 02:15, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @Zppix and just fyi I want to help out if you would let me do something around here for god sake people change too you know you’ll never see good in me ever again --Cocopuff2018  02:17, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * its not up to you... and this just proves your not competent enough to hold advanced user rights thinking you can choose what votes are valid or not. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 02:19, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @Zppix how I earn your trust back? You’ll never support me on anything and I am aware I don’t make the calls for god sake it’s like your the ghost always going to be behind me to always oppose me And I worked hard Clearly you cannot see any good in me and it’s pretty sad as if --Cocopuff2018 02:23, 18 August 2020 (UTC)


 * 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)
 * Absolutely not. 1) I don't believe you know all needed policies. 2) You are not eligible for any advanced right, by me.--MrJaroslavik (talk) 06:02, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't trust you with a penny if I'm honest. You know full well this is extremely premature based on the recent events and everyone else has long said enough. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  17:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know what happened on non-wiki such as Discord, based on his/her replies on this request, his/her comments at Zppix's talk and his/her recent Wiki requests, I think he/she is not good for the Wikicreator now. --そらたこ (talk) 03:45, 19 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)
 * I echo my reasoning above. Zppix (Meta &#124; CVT Member &#124; talk to me) 02:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with doughs Proposal --Cocopuff2018 02:36, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I support cocopuff as wiki creator, because we do need wiki creators, I like this idea. There may have been passed issues, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. 02:39, 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. Dmehus (talk) 12:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Absolutely nonsensical proposal.--MrJaroslavik (talk) 06:05, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry I think it's too early in my words. 13:33, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * --GondorChicken (talk) 17:03, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * no, they just need to wait a few months. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  17:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

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.

 * 1)  That's a valid reason. --GondorChicken (talk) 17:36, 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.

Reception123 (Bureaucrat)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
 * Successful. John (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

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.

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)

 * 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.

 * 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)

User: CircleyDoesExtracter ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: Wiki creator Reason: Following my invitation to nominate him for wiki creator, has accepted my invitation to be nominated as a wiki creator. As I stated in my request, CircleyDoesExtracter is very active on Meta, helping users on the noticeboards, answering their questions, and reporting problematic single-purpose vandalism only and spam only accounts. He manages several wikis, and is familiar with Content Policy. With the recent inactivity and retirement/resignation losses we've seen recently, we've seen a net decline in our number of total and active wiki creators, despite the additions of myself and. As a result, in the near- to medium-term, we require both English speaking and multilingual wiki creators, and CircleyDoesExtracter would be excellent in this role. Of note, I've been particularly impressed with the way in which he has taken to the initial patroller guidelines, which demonstrates he is incredibly receptive to constructive feedback given.

 * Nominated Candidate's Acceptance Statement: Ah yes during 2020 which is a hard day for many wiki creators to stay active, as of result, many have their wiki creator rights revoked by inactivity or resignation. Now there are only 23 wiki creators, which results in slowing down between the wiki request and wiki creation. I recommend that we should have around 35 wiki creators to fasten up the process of the wiki being created. So I approve this. :)  Circley  Does Extracter    ( Circley Talk  |  Global   |  Email the Cloud )  19:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
