Topic on Forum:Wiki Talk

LulzKiller messaged me a few days ago about adminship, and I got to thinking:

It's been almost two years since I signed up for the Miraheze version of All The Tropes, maintaining the wiki from time to time with edits and redirects, also creating categories and adding them to applicable pages. But the thing is, I have to add a {{delete}} template each time pages, redirects and categories need to be deleted.

Gaining admin rights would help me do wiki editing more effectively. I didn't apply until now because I wasn't aware that being an admin would help me a lot, but now I feel I am ready for it.

As for the other responsibilities, I admit I lack the experience when it comes to vandals, blocks, page protections, etc., but I am aware of an admin's abilities and will listen to others when decisions are made.

I approve this request.

I see no reason to deny it, myself. Agreed.

As do I.

And I believe my approval makes the usual supermajority of admins.

This basically means when it comes down to admins (unless non-admins can vote), only Brent, Doc and Quest need to comment.

Quest has been AWOL since July, so I guess we don't get to see what he thinks.

I would tag Doc but this extension is being a complete shitshow and won't let me.

Brent is a crat, so it's best to also let him vote.

True - best to have all voices heard.

And of course non-admins can vote.

Yeah, but I'm like the least active 'crat ever. Let's go ahead and do this, then.

Basically everyone should be able to have a voice in these matters. Wikis are communities that should be open to all kinds of input. It's just that usually, people who have admin bit are the most active in the community anyway.

I thank you all for the approval.
