{{discussion top|outcome= This request is successful, gaining the required 5 !votes and support ratio. Globe&#039;s concerns have been considered, and I too would like to encourage the candidate to ask a lot of questions to Stewards when in doubt.

Hey, I&#039;d like to run for Global Administrator so I can assist in CVT-related matters and be able to help the platform on-wiki as well rather then only being able to help on the Discord Server, while being able to have a chance to be mentored by someone extremely experienced like Raidarr and grow my experience &amp;amp; judgement as well. Although I don&#039;t have many edits on Meta, I&#039;ve been in the WikiOasis Discord Server for months now and have assisted in moderation, in addition to helping Skywiki getting merged to WikiOasis. All questions are welcomed and I&#039;ll try my best to answer them in a timely order.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for your consideration, --[[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 13:30, 25 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe that community facing users such as Stewards and Global sysops need to be professional when interacting with community members on-wiki and off-wiki? Does it matter with whom you are speaking to? -[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 13:44, 25 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I believe respect is for everyone (that is being reasonable) regardless of whatever position they are in or anywhere. However, I hold higher respect for people such as Raidarr whom has given me priceless advice before that I couldn&#039;t get elsewhere until recently this year. Though, for professionalism, while I would say I treat it similarly as respecting people, but it depends on where and context.&lt;br /&gt;
:*If I&#039;m in a public space, doesn&#039;t matter if it&#039;s on or off wiki (such as WikiOasis Discord Server at #general), I&#039;ll try to be a bit professional in my responses and be more patient for individuals who isn&#039;t being incredibly disrespectful (like calling volunteers nazis, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
:*If I&#039;m in a friend group, then I won&#039;t be professional at all, no need to be stiff when you don&#039;t have to.&lt;br /&gt;
:I hope I have addressed your question appropriately. Thank you. --[[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 14:06, 25 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

# I will enter and say {{support}}, but other things as well. Generally, I think you could do reasonably with the role here; its a good place to grow from and you do improve as time goes on. It can help you get more used to features and working with people. As far as one thing to improve, Globe asked a good question and I think your answer is quite muddled. Now, I&#039;m the one who will make it clear if I do not like you for your approach from the outset, I am after all the one who made [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?logid=1747055 this lock] on Miraheze. But there are a few things to say about this. For one it was exceptional in proportion to the attitude. You can review that profile and see they really pushed the boundary and no less than that should elicit the most curt responses. Secondly even with that in mind, it really isn&#039;t the ideal response. It can feel good to make, but it&#039;s not very professional and it does not contribute to the better image of Miraheze. After the action I&#039;d wondered if anyone would think so and I did not see comment about it, but if someone did comment about that they&#039;d be well within their rights. So if there is anyone I hold in greater respect when taking actions its people like peer NotAracham who is consistently professional, and yet has a more &#039;fearsome reputation&#039; in some circles (I&#039;m told, anyway). Here I&#039;ve said in a couple places Dream Indigo is the role model for representation, they remind me of Reception123 on Miraheze. A consistent face, friendly but capable of being firm. So what is a good answer to Globe? I think it is to commit to a baseline of respect. You give everyone a fair chance, an initially equal opportunity from the moment they first turn up. You resist the urge to withhold it, unless it is proven decisively that it is not deserved, as MrPseudonymousEgo did by attacking a volunteer, and doubling down when the consequences were delivered despite saying he was leaving anyway. Even then the above would apply, but then you&#039;re mixing both necessary professionalism with a honest reflection of principle, and not accepting the premise of abuse. You also set a very high bar before the claws come out. Not every occasion of bad attitude or being a dick deserves your rebuke, and a respect-first attitude helps you avoid making that call when it simply isn&#039;t fair. Food for thought, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 12:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
# {{support}} I would like to begin by stating that he has addressed my inquiries regarding his candidacy on Discord, and I must say that his responses were quite close to what I was seeking.

# I&#039;ve mulled over this for a few days, and I think I&#039;m going to land at a {{oppose|Weak}}. I have a few concerns regarding Fearless&#039;s previous interactions with some of our communities and unfamiliarity with our processes. In the previous request, it was mentioned that despite Fearless&#039;s lack of experience on-wiki, they are still familiar with how the wiki operates due to them being active on the Discord. A few things have surfaced over the past few days/weeks that make me question this philosophy. I&#039;ll name a few:&lt;br /&gt;
:# Asking stewards to close Raidarr&#039;s after it had been open for just three days, simply because of the vote count&lt;br /&gt;
:# Asking one of our communities why they chose WikiOasis over Miraheze, and specifically inquiring about whether or not they were banned from Mira (they were not)&lt;br /&gt;
:# Making comments in the Miraheze Discord server about how &amp;quot;oasis is basically like a not so great training academy [for mira volunteers] but it works.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:# Taking it upon themselves to make statements on behalf of WikiOasis in semi-public spaces, such as &amp;quot;I do know so I can make the comment. But WO is in no position to host such a wiki. We have zero manpower.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:These are just a few that I recalled when writing this, but more have appeared through our interactions that have given me pause to support a request for global sysop if this is what they have done &#039;&#039;without&#039;&#039; any additional tools. All of these together, combined with no on-wiki experience anywhere that I am aware of and the extremely vague response to my question, concerns me. If elected, I would encourage Fearless to familiarize themselves with more of our inter-workings and ask frequent questions of the team before acting. -[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 21:09, 29 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I suspect the third one is partially my fault because I have expressed the thought that oasis for its much more informal structure and younger management can act as a sort of &#039;proving ground&#039; to consider at Miraheze, but a not so great training academy is a poor way to phrase that and it is by no means anything official. I will concur the need to be far more careful in open statements, especially 2 and 4. 1 is a procedural quirk I assume has already been corrected. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 12:01, 30 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
: Going to go with a {{support|weak}}, I have had ok interactions with Fearless but I understand there have been some issues. Not sure I can comment too much, mostly because I&#039;m the new kid on the block. [[User:Crystalite13|Crystalite13]] ([[User talk:Crystalite13|talk]]) 21:26, 30 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

{{discussion top|&#039;&#039;&#039;Withdrawn&#039;&#039;&#039; as said on WO Discord, and this request would not have passed due to canvassing, inexperience and have no interactions with the global community nor have any credible contributions in similar wikifarms (Miraheze). A few community members suggested the candidate to run for Global Patroller instead, and the candidate is encouraged to not canvass their vote, involve themselves in the global community by contributing or interacting with discussions, and learn how certain Global Roles work before creating a similar request in the future.

Hey, I’m Sapphire Jack, the owner of the largest wiki on this platform, the Italian Brainrot Wiki. I’d like to run for global administrator so I can gain perspective on how different wikis are managed and gain experience working with different moderation teams, as well as overall helping the platform grow as a whole. If you have any questions about me or my prior experiences, please let me know. [[User:Sapphire Jack|Sapphire Jack]] ([[User talk:Sapphire Jack|talk]]) 03:26, 12 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
# What do you currently do that requires Global Administrator capabilities?&lt;br /&gt;
# How do you feel the role of a Global Administrator fits in/complements existing local administration teams without so to speak &amp;quot;cramping their style&amp;quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
# (shamelessly stolen from raidarr) Do you believe you have made mistakes on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# Global Administrators are responsible for wiki creations, how would you go about approaching the following requests, including additional action you may take following the acceptance/denial of each request?&lt;br /&gt;
#* A well known troublemaker on the platform decides to request a new wiki, describing it as a new &amp;quot;uncensored encyclopedia on politics&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
#* A brand new user decides to request a wiki saying that they are going to &amp;quot;create their version of Wikipedia&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
#* A brand new user requests a wiki and fills the request form with racial slurs and abuse towards our staff members?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:# I’m an experienced moderator, and would like to be able to help moderate other wikis, while ensuring everyone follows global policy. Also, on my current wiki, there is a frequent amount of users requiring to get globally locked for underage/breaking other global rules. I could deal with those global locks entirely, so other global admins/stewards could spend their energy elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
:# Global admins try to help deal with major vandals, however, each wiki has its own structure, style, and way of running. Aside from enforcing global policies, we don’t need to interfere with that.&lt;br /&gt;
:# I don’t believe I’ve made any mistakes on the platform so far, and after taking a poll, the users on my wiki agree that I’m the “Best owner ever.” &lt;br /&gt;
:# For the first example, I would simply deny the request, no further action needed. For the second example, I would also deny the request: we don’t need a forked wikipedia. However, for the third example, I would not only deny the request, I would also Glock them and ask a Steward to run an alt check to see if they’re an alt of an existing vandal.&lt;br /&gt;

*&amp;lt;s&amp;gt;{{oppose}} submitting an opposition. I strongly encourage the candidate to explore alternative ways to contribute that do not involve advanced permissions before requesting any such permissions. Furthermore, I do not currently feel comfortable granting advanced permissions to someone who is not well-known within the community without demonstrating the necessary skills and trust required for these permissions. Being a moderator alone does not justify sufficient experience to warrant the level of expertise needed for these permissions, as there is much more involved than merely understanding the fundamentals of moderating MediaWiki functions and knowing how to utilize the tools. --[[User:Cocopuff2018|Cocopuff2018]] ([[User talk:Cocopuff2018|talk]]) 16:31, 12 May 2026 (UTC)&amp;lt;/s&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Where its usefulness comes in, like what kind of argument it makes or even the fact its an llm, would be a post-closure determination. It would weigh rather less for being incoherent or wrong, while it may have greater influence if it is well reasoned. I believe this is the steward duty, rather than a pre emptive full strike since the alternative is people just don&#039;t offer reasoning at all, like what actually happened. I do agree the initial position was rather nonsensical.

*{{support|weak}}: ultimately I don&#039;t see a major difference between your credibility and that of the other GS/Stews. I think there&#039;s room here to coach and grow. The work on IBW — wrangling a fairly substantial number of misbehaving children without leaving it as someone else&#039;s problem — is definitely something in your favour, however I don&#039;t know whether GS is the way to go for this. I commend you throwing your hat into the ring. I implore to you that if this request does succeed that you take things slowly and learn how they work before doing anything drastic, but generally I don&#039;t have any significant concerns beyond the general lack of experience, although it&#039;s not incomparable to what already exists on the team, and I&#039;d hope you could shape into a fairly active contributor globally with the right guidance, but I won&#039;t jump the gun there.

*{{oppose}} I&#039;m not thrilled about them canvassing. They also show a lack of knowledge of what the duties of a global SYOSP are, which leaves me to oppose this request. I&#039;d strongly advise the candidate to find other ways to help that don&#039;t require global rights; perhaps in the future they can be reconsidered. And coached on how to use the tools if they can show maturity in the future. I don&#039;t find them being an &amp;quot;admin of Italian brainrot&amp;quot; a sufficient reason to be a global admin, as there is way more to it than just being a local admin and other tools to learn how to use that a global admin has access to. Their reasoning is also not convincing enough as to why they need These tools, IMHO, --[[User:Cocopuff2018|Cocopuff2018]] ([[User talk:Cocopuff2018|talk]]) 17:31, 12 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

*going to go with an {{oppose}} here, while I applaud your efforts and acknowledge you&#039;ve been helpful but I personally believe the GA toolset is too advanced for someone who has little presence outside their own wiki.

* This is not a voting comment but I will say that Sapphire Jack has a very thankless role with experience that is unique even among the current crew of global volunteers. It takes real effort to keep a community with heavy appeal to rambunctious children in order, and to do that actively. And Sapphire is at the top of that list, not just any moderator on the team. Now I address Sapphire directly. I think there is reasonable concern that a global role like this requires somewhat different skills from maintaining a single, although large community. These are things I&#039;m sure you could learn and your second answer is very promising. I think people would be generally more comfortable with you as Global Patroller where you can be included in global affairs and get an idea how they work/prove that capability, and then expand to larger access. But relative to the current volunteers I don&#039;t think your competence is out of range for advancing straight to Global Administrator. Regardless what you get, I wish you the best of luck and I&#039;m pleased you&#039;re looking into something new like this. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:19, 14 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;I&#039;m going to drop a {{support}} here. Your work handling the challenge that IBW can has been impressive and you&#039;ve always seemed easy to work with.

*: Changing to {{oppose}} for a few reasons. I&#039;ve monitored a few discussions between stewards and the candidate and they seem to show a fundamental lack of understanding of what a global administrator does and what they should not do. I wasn&#039;t initially planning to fully oppose, however, the candidate has [[w:WP:CANVASS|canvassed]] users to this discussion, which is far below what I expect of a GA.

* &amp;lt;s&amp;gt;I&#039;ll go ahead and drop a {{support}}. You have a clue and are not a jerk.

*{{Abstain}} The user in question, Sapphire Jack, is the &amp;quot;owner&amp;quot; of the wiki I most commonly edit in, hence I have some conflict of interest in this discussion. Nevertheless though, I do think he does have good intentions, however, again, good intentions isn&#039;t enough to get GA, which from what I can see is quite a senior role. Additionally, in the Italian Brainrot Wiki, he is mostly inactive outside of discussions regarding bureaucrats and relations with other wikis/the farm, and doesn&#039;t edit pages to much of a degree nor moderate outside of blocking people who insult him. Most of the administrative work is actually done by bureaucrats like me, to give an example, he haphazardly promoted a user called Cityngeon to the role of Bureaucrat, who changed the requirements of the vote, among other fishy actions (it otherwise wouldn&#039;t have passed by quite a margin), which I had to find and bring to attention to him. At the end of the day, though, he could be a somewhat decent candidate. --[[User:SPIRACY NOTCANON|SPIRACY NOTCANON]] ([[User talk:SPIRACY NOTCANON|talk]]) 07:12, 18 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

G&#039;day, my name is Vwregewrrergrge, though you&#039;re welcome to call me VWR. I am a bureaucrat on the largest wiki on WikiOasis (Italian Brainrot Wiki), and a Miraheze contributor with experience across multiple wikis. I actively maintain and contribute to several wikis including the Prehistoric Wiki, the Minecraft Wiki, and the Mathematics Wiki. As it stands, WikiOasis currently has no global patrollers, and I believe that is a gap worth filling. I am volunteering for this role out of genuine concern for the safety and quality of the platform, and to properly support staff in keeping it safe. Underage users are a serious issue on WikiOasis, they return repeatedly despite being blocked, and having a dedicated global patroller reporting directly to staff would make handling these cases significantly easier. On average, a blocked underage user creates around 5 alt accounts, and I have experience detecting them through patterns in writing style, user page formatting, and also grammar. I take this application seriously and I hope it is received the same way, and I am not trying to act like a security guard, what is this nonsense, Ii anyone is willing to guide me through any responsibilities associated with the role, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. [[User:Vwregewrrergrge|VWR]] ([[User talk:Vwregewrrergrge|talk]]) 2:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

*{{oppose|strong}} users should not be acting as vigilantes, especially not on the matter of child safety. They should report it to safety and not be soliciting their personal information through the platform. To be frank I am surprised that more action was not taken at the time of the incident, however this is definitely a no from me. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 15:01, 17 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
*:Understood, and I respect your concern, looking back I should have immediately reported it to staff rather than taking matters into my own hands, and I genuinely regret that. This role is exactly what would stop me from ever needing to do that again since I&#039;d have the proper tools and authority to handle it the right way.

== DarkMatterMan4500 (Global Patroller) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, I am DarkMatterMan4500 from Miraheze, and I want to apply for the [[Global Patrollers]] permission here on WikiOasis, based on my experiences from Miraheze, since I have been working hard on clearing away vandalism all across the wikifarm for the [[mh:m:CVT|counter-vandalism team]] from said wikifarm. Now, I understand that some of you may have questions and concerns for me, and I&#039;ll do my best to answer them in the best way I can, so feel free to give your [[mh:allthetropes:Brutal Honesty|honest opinions]] without sugarcoating anything. I am fully aware that Global Patrollers can block users all across the WikiOasis wikis (regardless of where disruption is taking place), delete pages, revisions, and use the basic tools, but with limited options, something that I&#039;m willing to take as a fellow editor. --[[User:DarkMatterMan4500|DarkMatterMan4500]] ([[User talk:DarkMatterMan4500|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/DarkMatterMan4500|contribs]]) 15:57, 18 May 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

*{{Support|strong}} - Candidate is well known in Miraheze and known in the MH Discord as a GP that deals with vandals or CVT issues at the CVT channel. Additionally after consulting Raidarr, the candidate has some issues that can be fixed (but no red flags) and 200 edits on Meta. This is what Raidarr said about DMM: &amp;quot;He has problems identifying and staying on the line and the overall approach, well, you can kind of tell by interacting long enough, that said he is one of the most determined watchers and catches things pretty much everyone in here wouldn&#039;t have time to look for, the act of patrolling he can do very well, knowing the line on pressing elevated buttons, always been an issue&amp;quot;.

Hey, I&#039;d like to run for Global Administrator so I can assist in CVT-related matters and be able to help the platform on-wiki as well rather then only being able to help on the Discord Server, while being able to have a chance to be mentored by someone extremely experienced like Raidarr and grow my experience &amp;amp; judgement as well. Although I don&#039;t have many edits on Meta, I&#039;ve been in the WikiOasis Discord Server for months now and have assisted in moderation, in addition to helping Skywiki getting merged to WikiOasis. All questions are welcomed and I&#039;ll try my best to answer them in a timely order.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe that community facing users such as Stewards and Global sysops need to be professional when interacting with community members on-wiki and off-wiki? Does it matter with whom you are speaking to? -[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 13:44, 25 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I believe respect is for everyone (that is being reasonable) regardless of whatever position they are in or anywhere. However, I hold higher respect for people such as Raidarr whom has given me priceless advice before that I couldn&#039;t get elsewhere until recently this year. Though, for professionalism, while I would say I treat it similarly as respecting people, but it depends on where and context.&lt;br /&gt;
:*If I&#039;m in a public space, doesn&#039;t matter if it&#039;s on or off wiki (such as WikiOasis Discord Server at #general), I&#039;ll try to be a bit professional in my responses and be more patient for individuals who isn&#039;t being incredibly disrespectful (like calling volunteers nazis, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
:*If I&#039;m in a friend group, then I won&#039;t be professional at all, no need to be stiff when you don&#039;t have to.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Discussion ===&lt;br /&gt;
# I will enter and say {{support}}, but other things as well. Generally, I think you could do reasonably with the role here; its a good place to grow from and you do improve as time goes on. It can help you get more used to features and working with people. As far as one thing to improve, Globe asked a good question and I think your answer is quite muddled. Now, I&#039;m the one who will make it clear if I do not like you for your approach from the outset, I am after all the one who made [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?logid=1747055 this lock] on Miraheze. But there are a few things to say about this. For one it was exceptional in proportion to the attitude. You can review that profile and see they really pushed the boundary and no less than that should elicit the most curt responses. Secondly even with that in mind, it really isn&#039;t the ideal response. It can feel good to make, but it&#039;s not very professional and it does not contribute to the better image of Miraheze. After the action I&#039;d wondered if anyone would think so and I did not see comment about it, but if someone did comment about that they&#039;d be well within their rights. So if there is anyone I hold in greater respect when taking actions its people like peer NotAracham who is consistently professional, and yet has a more &#039;fearsome reputation&#039; in some circles (I&#039;m told, anyway). Here I&#039;ve said in a couple places Dream Indigo is the role model for representation, they remind me of Reception123 on Miraheze. A consistent face, friendly but capable of being firm. So what is a good answer to Globe? I think it is to commit to a baseline of respect. You give everyone a fair chance, an initially equal opportunity from the moment they first turn up. You resist the urge to withhold it, unless it is proven decisively that it is not deserved, as MrPseudonymousEgo did by attacking a volunteer, and doubling down when the consequences were delivered despite saying he was leaving anyway. Even then the above would apply, but then you&#039;re mixing both necessary professionalism with a honest reflection of principle, and not accepting the premise of abuse. You also set a very high bar before the claws come out. Not every occasion of bad attitude or being a dick deserves your rebuke, and a respect-first attitude helps you avoid making that call when it simply isn&#039;t fair. Food for thought, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 12:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

# I&#039;ve mulled over this for a few days, and I think I&#039;m going to land at a {{oppose|Weak}}. I have a few concerns regarding Fearless&#039;s previous interactions with some of our communities and unfamiliarity with our processes. In the previous request, it was mentioned that despite Fearless&#039;s lack of experience on-wiki, they are still familiar with how the wiki operates due to them being active on the Discord. A few things have surfaced over the past few days/weeks that make me question this philosophy. I&#039;ll name a few:&lt;br /&gt;
:# Asking stewards to close Raidarr&#039;s after it had been open for just three days, simply because of the vote count&lt;br /&gt;
:# Asking one of our communities why they chose WikiOasis over Miraheze, and specifically inquiring about whether or not they were banned from Mira (they were not)&lt;br /&gt;
:# Making comments in the Miraheze Discord server about how &amp;quot;oasis is basically like a not so great training academy [for mira volunteers] but it works.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:# Taking it upon themselves to make statements on behalf of WikiOasis in semi-public spaces, such as &amp;quot;I do know so I can make the comment. But WO is in no position to host such a wiki. We have zero manpower.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:These are just a few that I recalled when writing this, but more have appeared through our interactions that have given me pause to support a request for global sysop if this is what they have done &#039;&#039;without&#039;&#039; any additional tools. All of these together, combined with no on-wiki experience anywhere that I am aware of and the extremely vague response to my question, concerns me.

Hey, I’m Sapphire Jack, the owner of the largest wiki on this platform, the Italian Brainrot Wiki. I’d like to run for global administrator so I can gain perspective on how different wikis are managed and gain experience working with different moderation teams, as well as overall helping the platform grow as a whole.

# (shamelessly stolen from raidarr) Do you believe you have made mistakes on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;

I implore to you that if this request does succeed that you take things slowly and learn how they work before doing anything drastic, but generally I don&#039;t have any significant concerns beyond the general lack of experience, although it&#039;s not incomparable to what already exists on the team, and I&#039;d hope you could shape into a fairly active contributor globally with the right guidance, but I won&#039;t jump the gun there.

Hey, I&#039;d like to run for Global Administrator so I can assist in CVT-related matters and be able to help the platform on-wiki as well rather then only being able to help on the Discord Server, while being able to have a chance to be mentored by someone extremely experienced like Raidarr and grow my experience &amp;amp; judgement as well. Although I don&#039;t have many edits on Meta, I&#039;ve been in the WikiOasis Discord Server for months now and have assisted in moderation, in addition to helping Skywiki getting merged to WikiOasis. All questions are welcomed and I&#039;ll try my best to answer them in a timely order.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe that community facing users such as Stewards and Global sysops need to be professional when interacting with community members on-wiki and off-wiki? Does it matter with whom you are speaking to? -[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 13:44, 25 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I believe respect is for everyone (that is being reasonable) regardless of whatever position they are in or anywhere. However, I hold higher respect for people such as Raidarr whom has given me priceless advice before that I couldn&#039;t get elsewhere until recently this year. Though, for professionalism, while I would say I treat it similarly as respecting people, but it depends on where and context.&lt;br /&gt;
:*If I&#039;m in a public space, doesn&#039;t matter if it&#039;s on or off wiki (such as WikiOasis Discord Server at #general), I&#039;ll try to be a bit professional in my responses and be more patient for individuals who isn&#039;t being incredibly disrespectful (like calling volunteers nazis, for example).&lt;br /&gt;
:*If I&#039;m in a friend group, then I won&#039;t be professional at all, no need to be stiff when you don&#039;t have to.&lt;br /&gt;

# I will enter and say {{support}}, but other things as well. Generally, I think you could do reasonably with the role here; its a good place to grow from and you do improve as time goes on. It can help you get more used to features and working with people. As far as one thing to improve, Globe asked a good question and I think your answer is quite muddled. Now, I&#039;m the one who will make it clear if I do not like you for your approach from the outset, I am after all the one who made [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Log?logid=1747055 this lock] on Miraheze. But there are a few things to say about this. For one it was exceptional in proportion to the attitude. You can review that profile and see they really pushed the boundary and no less than that should elicit the most curt responses. Secondly even with that in mind, it really isn&#039;t the ideal response. It can feel good to make, but it&#039;s not very professional and it does not contribute to the better image of Miraheze. After the action I&#039;d wondered if anyone would think so and I did not see comment about it, but if someone did comment about that they&#039;d be well within their rights. So if there is anyone I hold in greater respect when taking actions its people like peer NotAracham who is consistently professional, and yet has a more &#039;fearsome reputation&#039; in some circles (I&#039;m told, anyway). Here I&#039;ve said in a couple places Dream Indigo is the role model for representation, they remind me of Reception123 on Miraheze. A consistent face, friendly but capable of being firm. So what is a good answer to Globe? I think it is to commit to a baseline of respect. You give everyone a fair chance, an initially equal opportunity from the moment they first turn up. You resist the urge to withhold it, unless it is proven decisively that it is not deserved, as MrPseudonymousEgo did by attacking a volunteer, and doubling down when the consequences were delivered despite saying he was leaving anyway. Even then the above would apply, but then you&#039;re mixing both necessary professionalism with a honest reflection of principle, and not accepting the premise of abuse. You also set a very high bar before the claws come out. Not every occasion of bad attitude or being a dick deserves your rebuke, and a respect-first attitude helps you avoid making that call when it simply isn&#039;t fair. Food for thought, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 12:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

# I&#039;ve mulled over this for a few days, and I think I&#039;m going to land at a {{oppose|Weak}}. I have a few concerns regarding Fearless&#039;s previous interactions with some of our communities and unfamiliarity with our processes. In the previous request, it was mentioned that despite Fearless&#039;s lack of experience on-wiki, they are still familiar with how the wiki operates due to them being active on the Discord. A few things have surfaced over the past few days/weeks that make me question this philosophy. I&#039;ll name a few:&lt;br /&gt;
:# Asking stewards to close Raidarr&#039;s after it had been open for just three days, simply because of the vote count&lt;br /&gt;
:# Asking one of our communities why they chose WikiOasis over Miraheze, and specifically inquiring about whether or not they were banned from Mira (they were not)&lt;br /&gt;
:# Making comments in the Miraheze Discord server about how &amp;quot;oasis is basically like a not so great training academy [for mira volunteers] but it works.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:# Taking it upon themselves to make statements on behalf of WikiOasis in semi-public spaces, such as &amp;quot;I do know so I can make the comment. But WO is in no position to host such a wiki. We have zero manpower.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
:These are just a few that I recalled when writing this, but more have appeared through our interactions that have given me pause to support a request for global sysop if this is what they have done &#039;&#039;without&#039;&#039; any additional tools. All of these together, combined with no on-wiki experience anywhere that I am aware of and the extremely vague response to my question, concerns me.

{{support|weak}}: ultimately I don&#039;t see a major difference between your credibility and that of the other GS/Stews. I think there&#039;s room here to coach and grow. The work on IBW — wrangling a fairly substantial number of misbehaving children without leaving it as someone else&#039;s problem — is definitely something in your favour, however I don&#039;t know whether GS is the way to go for this. I commend you throwing your hat into the ring. I implore to you that if this request does succeed that you take things slowly and learn how they work before doing anything drastic, but generally I don&#039;t have any significant concerns beyond the general lack of experience, although it&#039;s not incomparable to what already exists on the team, and I&#039;d hope you could shape into a fairly active contributor globally with the right guidance, but I won&#039;t jump the gun there.

Permission: Administrator &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Reason: As WikiOasis is currently moving forward into Community Governance, I believe it is reasonable for @[[User:Asteralee|Asteralee]] to be voted on by the community as well. Additionally I would like to know more Asteralee and their circumstances of being appointed as Meta Administrator. --[[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 04:22, 22 April 2026 (UTC)&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Candidate Nomination Statement ===&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for nominating me. I accept! &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;background:#f9e6f9;border-radius:7px;padding:0 2px;font-style:italic; font-family:Georgia, serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt; [[User:Asteralee|&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#A76BCF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;⯎ aster&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;]][[User talk:Asteralee|&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#9400A5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;alee ⯎&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;]] &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; 19:50, 22 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Questions for Candidate ===&lt;br /&gt;
Some questions which I believe are applicable for your role, admittedly I stole most of these questions from Raidarr, I will try my best to mix things up though.&lt;br /&gt;
# Tell me about yourself - Why did you want to become an Meta Administrator and what were the circumstances of your appointment to be one?&lt;br /&gt;
# What do you consider the skills you bring to the role, and what do you think you need assistance learning?&lt;br /&gt;
# As a very new candidate and figure to the platform, what would you say to concerns about electing/promoting a user with under 100 edits on meta to meta patroller or administrator?&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a meta sysop is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# How often do you intend use Discord to interact with community and coordinate with other volunteers? Will you participate in discussions on the WO Discord server in the future? I&#039;ve noticed you have not replied to me when I said hello to you in an volunteer channel.&lt;br /&gt;
# Suppose you have the following actions to use. Lock (reasons spam, vandalism, abuse of multiple accounts, long term abuse or username policy violation), issue a warning, and consult with peers if you do not have a clear answer or feel it is out of your scope. Which would you consider appropriate for these examples? You can write in something different if you believe it would be appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
#* a. An account that fills their userpage with text describing black marketing services for other games, and a day later edits links to an black marketing website on their meta userpage. New account, no other contributions, say within 3 days.&lt;br /&gt;
#* b. An account that fills their userpage with text describing their background as a wiki editor who really likes motorbikes, and they link to a personal blog about motorbikes at the same time. New account, no other messages, say within a day to a week.&lt;br /&gt;
#* c. A newly registered account by the name &amp;quot;Food Porn&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
#* d. A newly registered account with a userpage stating they are 12 years old but they have stated they have meet the requirements for consent in their country.&lt;br /&gt;
#* e. Two users engaging in a bitter argument with insults on meta due to an edit conflict, assuming you have no other context to go on at this time.&lt;br /&gt;
#* f. Three accounts are created with incrementing usernames (idk, Fearless1, Fearless2, Fearless3...) and the first one has made several edits giving advice that isn&#039;t quite right.&lt;br /&gt;
#* g. You are browsing a random meta page and come across a user who recently blanked large sections of the page for no apparent reason. The pages still have stuff on them, but they are now stubs. Someone last edited about it three days ago.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Any user who registered before a request was opened may vote in that request. Only one vote per user per request is permitted, and it cannot come from an alternative account. This is to prevent abuse.&lt;br /&gt;

== Justarandomamerican (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! I&#039;m Justarandomamerican, and I am filing a request for stewardship, because the board has abolished the staff role, and for staff members to keep their permissions, they must stand for election. I&#039;ve been here since 2024, when the farm was founded. I hope the community trusts me. Thank you for your time! [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 21:10, 16 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;small&amp;gt; This candidate has signed an NDA with the WikiOasis Foundation, as is required for stewardship. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 01:23, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates.  Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, what do you currently do that requires Steward capabilities?&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users appear in the CheckUser interface who both appear to be using Tor who are regular editors on a large wiki, which is also being attacked seemingly out of nowhere by an assailant who is using Tor and free VPNs. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest their editing styles are similar (but no major stylistic tells)? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
# How would you close a vote proposing a change in which seven people essentially say support and maybe a few words, nothing really in depth, and three people have articulated major concerns with the proposal at the level of detail of these questions? Would that process change if it was only one oppose like this to seven support, and if that oppose appeared just before you were going to close the RfC?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Steward for Zippy ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{User2|Zippy}} • Hiya, I don&#039;t think I really need to offer much in the way of introduction, as you most likely know me already, I&#039;ve served the platform since October 2024 in tech, and have helped out in global enforcement since day 1 as well. As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration. Please feel free to follow up with questions below (preferably related to steward work as opposed to tech, but I&#039;ll answer tech questions too), and I look forward to hopefully serving you. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 01:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;small&amp;gt; This candidate has signed an NDA with the WikiOasis Foundation, as is required for stewardship. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 01:23, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users are connecting from T-Mobile USA with IPs that are absolutely all over the place. One uses an android and windows 10 and the other regularly connects from a different browser on windows 10. One has been there a long time and the other &#039;user&#039; is a string of alt accounts that spam gibberish. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out? Am I missing an important detail that would make the connection (or not) more clear?&lt;br /&gt;
# How would you consider a request for permissions which has six supports, three oppose, and three abstains, assuming there was no dealbreaker in argument or an unaddressed concern by the requestor? Would your approach change if there was a minor question left unanswered?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:# Many many mistakes, an abridged list is:&lt;br /&gt;
:#* My approach to deployment of codebase changes was scrappy until very recently, causing regular downtimes because I typed the wrong thing, it&#039;s changed now in that they are tested on staging first which is a completely separate server (apart from database due to time constraints of setting up a fully separate environment and beta cluster)&lt;br /&gt;
:#* My approach to the behaviours of an LTA (you&#039;ll know who I mean), and my relation to the activities other team members who crossed a line, which I shouldn&#039;t have had the level of involvement and awareness that I did&lt;br /&gt;
:#* My attitudes to others have sometimes been less than acceptable, I have lost my temper at times and made comments that in hindsight I was less than proud of&lt;br /&gt;
:#* The growth of tech was handled by both me and others on the board at the time poorly, onboarding close to half a dozen people with no clear goals in sight leading to me still doing all the work because even of the willing volunteers none knew how to do shit&lt;br /&gt;
:#* The expansion of the feature set of TSPortal was way more than it needed to be, in an attempt to somewhat mirror what miraheze does despite the need not really being there for what it could do&lt;br /&gt;
:# At the scale WO runs at, it&#039;s not very impressive compared to keeping the lights on, but essentially as privileged helpers, who can resolve some frontend issues, along with filling in for local authority when needed to handle vandalism or abuse issues, and to an extent governance if such an issue were to arise&lt;br /&gt;
:# I wouldn&#039;t link them particularly closely, if they geolocated closely or had editing patterns/timings similar then it could be a possibility, but I wouldn&#039;t consider it to be a possibility generally as it&#039;s too vague to be able to consider them anything beyond a tenuous link&lt;br /&gt;
:# I&#039;d review mostly based on my own judgement of the arguments presented within the discussion, along with my assessment of the candidate, potentially involving other stewards if necessary in a way that may add value — if a question was left unanswered, would depend on whether the question could&#039;ve led to some argument being significantly weaker/stronger, but it probably wouldn&#039;t make a significant difference, and it would be based on my assessment of the discussion and candidate&lt;br /&gt;

In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, what do you currently do that requires Steward capabilities?&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users appear in the CheckUser interface with an identical user agent and IPs that are different but both fall within a 192.94.21.0/24 range. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
# An RfC proposing a major change languishes after a few weeks with two strong supports and one abstain. Lets say  for the sake of something to work with that it introduces changes to the Content Policy and there&#039;s nothing about it that would inherently deserve a veto. How would you approach this RfC?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:# Wiki requests and managing abuse filters are the two key responsibilities that Stewards handle - handling CheckUser requests is a close third.&lt;br /&gt;
:# My mistakes don&#039;t really involve my use of the Steward toolset, but rather my overzealous approach to threats of legal complaints (which is mostly a Safety thing). I admittedly haven&#039;t improved on that yet, but I would think carefully and determine if there is merit to the complaints and if they can be resolved without involving the Foundation in the courts, and not let emotion cloud my judgement in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
:# A Steward represents the community aspect of policy legislation and enforcement, as opposed to the Board which handles legal policy and Safety which enforces that policy.&lt;br /&gt;
:# Given the fact that the IP range belongs to a university, the user agent + behavioral evidence is more important than usual. If the accounts are likely to belong to the same person, that would be grounds for a lock. If there is reasonable doubt, err towards the side of caution and wait for concrete proof of multi-account abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
:# There would be a quorum of votes required to pass an RfC - that number will obviously shrink and grow as time goes on. If the quorum happens to be 3 votes minimum, the RfC would have to be closed as successful if it does not contradict Board policy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

== Globe (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! My name is Globe, and I am also a founding member of WikiOasis making this RfS as part of the recent board decision to transition to a community governance model. I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users based in China appear in the CheckUser interface with a user agent that indicates Google Chrome on an android device (no apparent difference) and identical IPs from a common VPN. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
# A user requested a wiki say a year ago, made a very large number of edits for say six months, and for the last six months has completely disappeared. A new user comes in and successfully manages to be appointed bureaucrat by a peer. This user also makes many contributions but is running things very differently then how they were originally. A few weeks later the original bureaucrat returns and is absolutely irate about the new guy. The two have a massive pissing match and block each other which goes as well as you expect and it comes to your table. What is your approach to this situation?&lt;br /&gt;
# What were the merits of appointing Crystalite as a Global Sysop initially? Was it a team decision? If applicable, should such decisions be a team decision, excluding the scenario where it becomes election only?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I really do appreciate the questions! It actually gives these elections some purpose and the community a better idea of who they’re electing. &lt;br /&gt;
:# Absolutely I have, none of us our perfect. The thing I’ll talk about here is teamwork. Working as apart of a team is difficult, no matter whether that’s in person or online. People have different views and feel quite strongly that their way is right. This is the same for me. I need to be more open to comprise and less “my way or the highway” per se. I’m actively working to do better at that both here and in real life. &lt;br /&gt;
:# My ideal vision of stewardship would be a team of users empowered with special tools to assist the communities of WikiOasis. Whether that’s be handling abuse globally or assisting with requests on meta, my goal would be that all stewards are simply doing their best to make the best decisions and actions for the community. &lt;br /&gt;
:# Definitely not a “slam dunk,” but a connection is definitely possible. User agents are very rarely a reliable means to determine sockpuppetry and usage of the same VPN indicates they may be related, but it could also simply be two users happening to be connecting to WO via the same proxy (especially if they are located in China and have to use a VPN). I would first talk with my team. As this is obviously a potentially complex case, I would want to talk with the other stewards before doing anything unilaterally. I would also look for any other similarities (editing pattern/history, usernames, etc.) I wouldn’t take any action without discussing with the team for a case like this, however, for the sake of answering this question, I don’t think it would be a bad idea at all to email the user in question (assuming all of their edits are in good faith and positive) asking if they are aware about our policy on multiple accounts. &lt;br /&gt;
:# I’d say the existence of an active community really comes into play here. If an active community exists on the local wiki in question, I would coordinate with the other stewards to facilitate a community discussion about the direction of the wiki. If the changes made to the wiki are sufficient enough to change its entire scope, I would suggest that the “new user” bureaucrat request a new wiki, given that changes in scope are prohibited without approval. &lt;br /&gt;
:# When Crystalite messaged me after the announcement in the WO Discord server looking for global staff, they mentioned they were active on Miraheze. As Miraheze is a respectable (pause to look at Fandom) farm with somewhat similar workings and policies as WO, I was willing to consider the application despite limited experience on WO. I then contacted Tali64 regarding the application, as he is active on Miraheze as well. He shared the Crystalite had been extremely helpful with CVT reports. He also agreed that with the recent hosting of Italian Brainrot Wiki, more help would be needed. We then discussed what position they would be best for, which I will not share out of respect for information that was shared privately to me by Crystalite. We landed on global sysop and they were appointed later that day. Global sysops are now election only I believe so the second part is moot. -[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 03:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I do want to add on to the question about Crystalite. When I was looking at their Miraheze experience, I was also looking at their temperament and attitude towards other users. I was looking less at their actions directly, which while important, can always be taught. Their conduct and demeanor towards users was always extremely helpful and respectful. That’s what impressed me the most. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 03:34, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your view on the boundary between the board and the community, and where the line is drawn between what the board and what the community govern?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:# That line is at an ever changing point right now. Currently, the bylaws allow for direct election of the steward role by the community, but not much else. I wouldn’t be shocked if that changes in the near future, but currently, that is the only direct way the community has to “govern” itself. However, I don’t believe that it would be a stretch to think that the board would listen to and comply with community requests through processes like Requests for Comment. For me personally, I believe the board has sole authority and discretion regarding legal compliance and financial decisions (although both should be done transparently). I also, though controversially, believe that part of legal compliance involves site governance. So I do believe the board, by default, has control over the governance of the site, unless specifically stated otherwise in the bylaws (such as direct election of stewards). I hope this makes sense, I’m very tired and kind of rambling. &lt;br /&gt;
:# That’s a tough question as many of the candidates are extremely knowledgeable and qualified, but I’d have to say a different perspective. I’m definitely an outside the box thinker (whether that’s a good or bad thing, you can be the judge) and I really like to try new things to test how we can improve users experiences on WO. Some of my ideas aren’t super technically feasible, so there’s that. :)&lt;br /&gt;
:# I’d say anything that borders on the lines of illegal or severely violates our terms of use/service. Anything surrounding harassment, the immediate safety of our users, or legal requests (data removal, underage users, etc) should be directed to trust and safety. Simple vandalism, including sockpuppetry and long-term abuse, that does not involve and legal issues is fine to allow global enforcement to handle. &lt;br /&gt;
:# If you could be more specific, that would be very helpful. “An issue” is super broad and could mean anything from a simply spam edit bypassing the filter to a complex community discussion where users are attacking each other. &lt;br /&gt;

#*{{oppose|weak}}, your general ability to handle steward situations such as counter vandalism and MAA is fine, however your view on the board role within the community is one that I disagree with, especially given discussions that we&#039;ve had internally.

# {{oppose}} I&#039;ve noticed some discrepancies between your vote with me and Crystalite Requests for Global Roles. I am quite sure me and Crystalite is somewhat in a similar situation, that being having practically zero edits on meta until recently, however you pointed it out in my request and didn&#039;t point it out in Crystalite request, telling them &amp;quot;good luck&amp;quot; without anything more attached to it. I believe you hold some bias against me for some reason (either that or you wanted to nepo Crystalite in, which is a stretch), and Stewards should be impartial when handling situations as Stewards exercise a lot of judgement on the platform so I believe you should not hold this role.

#:Hi fearless! That is not at all the case. You are running for two (very) different roles. I would probably weak support you for global sysop, with something like global patroller, meta sysop, or wiki creator being what I think you’d be best suited for. For the record, I wouldn’t support Crystalite for steward either. &lt;br /&gt;
#:My main pause with steward vs. global sysop is access to the CheckUser tool. Your answers to raidarrs question gave me some pause in that area.

#::You would weakly support someone who is more familiar with the platform and has been on the discord team for months, led one of the largest community upheavals on SkyWiki (migrating to WO) than your seemingly preferred candidate for global sysop? Your immediate support for Crystalite with little comment other than &amp;quot;Good luck&amp;quot; doesn&#039;t inspire confidence in your neutrality on such a request, which as has been mentioned above, stewards should be impartial. I don&#039;t have confidence that you are impartial towards Fearless or Crystalite, despite how neutrality should be the principle underpinning the steward role. I&#039;d like you to clarify why you support Crystalite, who is new to the platform, over someone who is well established like fearless, for the benefit of all here --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 17:53, 19 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
#:I understand Steward and Global Sysops are very different roles. However I was mentioning on why are you giving them a Support vote and didn&#039;t point out the same issue you had with me when Crystalite had quite literally nearly zero interactions with WikiOasis until they got appointed as Global Sysop as Global Sysop still retains a lot of power, I don&#039;t believe requestors should be able to immediately get a hat, especially one as powerful as Global Sysop when they have never interacted with the community a lot before.

Hello! My name is Crystalite and I am running for Global Sysop (a position I was appointed to today) because the aforementioned staff role abolishment. I joined recently but am experienced in the wiki community, being very active around Miraheze. When elected properly, I plan to help out with Meta clean up, vandalism, and wiki requests.

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, I have a two part question; what do you consider the skills you bring to the role, and what do you think you need assistance learning?&lt;br /&gt;
# As a very new candidate and figure to the platform, what would you say to concerns about electing/promoting a user with under 100 global edits to a mid-senior CVT role?&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a global sysop is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Suppose you have the following actions to use. Lock (reasons spam, vandalism, abuse of multiple accounts, long term abuse or username policy violation), issue a warning, and consult with peers if you do not have a clear answer or feel it is out of your scope. Which would you consider appropriate for these examples? You can write in something different if you believe it would be appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
#* a. An account that fills their userpage with text describing automotive services, and a day later edits links to an automotive website on their meta userpage. New account, no other messages, say within a day to a week.&lt;br /&gt;
#* b. An account that fills their userpage with text describing their background as a wiki editor who really likes cars, and they link to a personal blog about cars at the same time. New account, no other messages, say within a day to a week.&lt;br /&gt;
#* c. A newly registered account by the name &amp;quot;Hentai&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
#* d. A newly registered account with a userpage stating they are 12 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
#* e. Two users engaging in a bitter argument with insults on a wiki with admins who are recently active, assuming you have no other context to go on at this time.&lt;br /&gt;
#* f. Three accounts are created with incrementing usernames (idk, Awesome1, Awesome2, Awesome3...) and the first one has made several edits giving advice that isn&#039;t quite right.&lt;br /&gt;
#* g. You are browsing a random wiki and come across a user who recently blanked large sections of several page for no apparent reason. The pages still have stuff on them, but they are now stubs. An admin last edited about three days ago.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you for your thoughtful questions, I will do my best to answer these questions!&lt;br /&gt;
:1. I think Patroller on miraheze Meta has helped me be comfortable in identifying stuff like spam, vandalism, and other issues quickly. I have had experience using sysop tools on the miraheze Grace Wiki, a semi-popular one, which I&#039;d say involves a lot of coordination and learning to work with people. For assistance, I&#039;d say I want help on more complex cases that aren&#039;t entirely textbook, especially considering policy interpretation and documentation is lacking a bit on meta.&lt;br /&gt;
:2. If I were an outsider, I&#039;d say my biggest concern would be giving someone so new such large hats. Sure, my Miraheze experience can also be counted a little bit, but WikiOasis has its fair share of differences. I totally understand why my appointment was a little shaky-I was pretty surprised myself, straightaway getting the role. Talking about myself, being, well...myself, I can&#039;t reasonably say I will be perfect in my role, because firstly, I&#039;m biased...surprise, surprise, and also because I&#039;m human. The simple fact is, the most senior stewards to the newest faces will all make mistakes, and I&#039;m no exception. If I am elected, all I can promise is that as a relatively new user, I will do my best and seek guidance from my fellows.&lt;br /&gt;
:3. I think what I&#039;d want most from global sysop is more distinction than just &amp;quot;sysop but everywhere&amp;quot;. It&#039;s a new role, so I&#039;d say what I&#039;d want from it is not only just maintenance of different wikis, but more interaction.  &lt;br /&gt;
:4A. For this, considering it&#039;s a brand new account, I&#039;d delete the userpage and llock with the reasoning of an account only made for spam/advertising purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
:4B. This wouldn&#039;t be too much of a concern to me if it&#039;s general info about them self and the link to the blog isn&#039;t very pushed/spammed everywhere. &lt;br /&gt;
:4C. Just a lock for this one.&lt;br /&gt;
:4D. For this, I&#039;d delete the local page and contact T@S to vanish the account and hide revisions.&lt;br /&gt;
:4E. For this one, I&#039;d only intervene straightaway if there&#039;s serious stuff, like death threats and similar. But if it&#039;s just a plain nasty discussion and the admin&#039;s aren&#039;t intervening, I&#039;d leave a message on the most recently active one, more like a friendly user giving a nudge than an action from a global sysop.&lt;br /&gt;
:4F. For this one, I&#039;m not totally sure. It&#039;s possible they&#039;re socks, but if they have done nothing I ask someone else and keep an eye on the accounts.&lt;br /&gt;
:4G. I&#039;d revert the changes, and if the user had made constructive edits before, issue a warning, but if not then I&#039;d lock with the reasoning of VOA. [[User:Crystalite13|Crystalite13]] ([[User talk:Crystalite13|talk]]) 02:42, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# What are your thoughts on your appointment to the role prior to this election? Do you feel that it was right for you to accept such an appointment without community involvement?&lt;br /&gt;
# What do you see yourself doing on the day-to-day, which areas would you most likely want to work within?&lt;br /&gt;
# Where do you see the overlap between stewards and global sysops, and where do you see the line between what should be handled by a global sysop and what would be best handled by a steward?&lt;br /&gt;
# How do you see local administration fitting into the role of global sysops and stewards?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 00:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:1. While I do admit, I think some of the &amp;quot;hey, why am I getting these rights so easily?&amp;quot; might have been lost somewhere in the &amp;quot;WAIT ME?? REALLY??&amp;quot;, and honestly, I understand how rights like these usually involve community trust and experience, but for the purpose of transparency, my accepting this nomination was done in mostly good faith, and I hope this election will validate it. &lt;br /&gt;
:2. On a day to day basis, i would focus primarily on cross wiki maintenance, like handling spam, vandalism, and unattended issues on smaller or less active wikis, or even the inverse, like very large wikis that can&#039;t handle their size. Recently, the Italian Brainrot wiki migrated from Miraheze to WikiOasis. &amp;quot;Migration&amp;quot; is putting it nicely; I think the proper word is &amp;quot;eviction&amp;quot;. Of course, I understand it was necessary, but a wiki having to leave Miraheze of all farms....it&#039;s going to be tough handling it. I think firstly though I would also see to some meta clean-up, since there aren&#039;t any sysops here yet.&lt;br /&gt;
:3. I would say there is some overlap in the two roles, but I see global sysops as focusing more on routine maintenance (e.g vandalism + basic cleanup), while stewards handle more sensitive or complex matters that come with their tools and rights like CU and Suppression.&lt;br /&gt;
:4. I think local administrators should always take priority on their own wikis and global sysops and stewards should act in a supportive capacity, not as replacements. I believe making that promise of &amp;quot;we won&#039;t interfere unless we absolutely have to&amp;quot; should be very important...though some wiki farms would disagree *cough cough* fandom *cough cough*. Jokes aside, I think finding the balance and knowing when to step in is something important that all global volunteers should know.

Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup is good in case of heavy loads as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki into WikiOasis. While I am quite vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around (somewhat) and know obvious signs of abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll also answer any questions that you may have as well. I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you for your consideration! [[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 10:12, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, how much do you know about the CheckUser and Investigate interface?&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users appear in the CheckUser interface. Both are Google Chrome user agents and both have many IPs that appear within a residential /64 ipv6 range. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
#* If you have takes on some of the CU-related questions for the other candidates feel free to chew on them if you like also, relative to your professed interest in investigations.&lt;br /&gt;
# A user requested a wiki say a year ago, made a very large number of edits for say six months, and for the last six months has completely disappeared. A new user comes in and successfully manages to be appointed bureaucrat by a peer. This user also makes many contributions but is running things very differently then how they were originally. A few weeks later the original bureaucrat returns and is absolutely irate about the new guy. The two have a massive pissing match and block each other which goes as well as you expect and it comes to your table. What is your approach to this situation?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:# Admittedly, not much, however I know you need to assign yourself the Steward&#039;s hat on a wiki locally then assign yourself the CheckUser hat to be able to see CU logs and perform CU. Then I can deduce that you can find the CU logs/tools at Special:SpecialPages and to CU 1 user specifically you can go to their talk page/user page and it&#039;ll have the option to do that.&lt;br /&gt;
:# I have definitely made some mistakes on this platform before, and not just here, but many other places as well, here is some of my mistakes I&#039;ve made on WikiOasis Discord before such as over-punishing or under-punishing users then necessary. For example, someone requested for help while the request was improper and called the WikiOasis Stewards Nazis, I&#039;ve only punished them for 3 days when I believe they should probably have been banned due to throwing an baseless accusation/defamation and annoying stewards. (I&#039;ve also forgotten other mistakes I&#039;ve made due to my forgetful memory, but this isn&#039;t the only mistake I&#039;ve done on WikiOasis)&lt;br /&gt;
:# My vision of what a Steward is simply an trusted volunteer by the community to assist in operating the farm, ensuring global policies are being met and helping local wiki communities with their toolset such as investigating cross-wiki abuse, assisting in elections for crats by CUing potential users who may be a sockpuppet, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
:# While I don&#039;t know much about IPs, after a quick search, I&#039;ve seen that if two users have different IPs but both appear within a residential /64 ipv6 range, it probably means both of these users came from the same network, they could be different persons that have the same interest in the platform or they are siblings. If my review of their edits suggest it could possibly be an slam dunk connection, then they are either: Probably the same person, or they are still different persons, but they are probably twins, receiving the same education and knowledge so that&#039;s why they&#039;d act similarly (I know the probability of this happening is low, but AFG should be assumed at all times). So depending how similarly both users edit, like 60% or less, and there are no vandalism/harm done I would just wait if there is anything else to go on and report it to the rest of the Stewards to see what do they think.&lt;br /&gt;
:# Unblock both and tell them to stop actioning on each other, review their edits and local wiki policies as running a wiki differently doesn&#039;t mean the scope has changed, and depending on the type of wiki and community I would take more actions such as:&lt;br /&gt;
::* Assuming it&#039;s your regular game wiki and there is only 2 contributors without any other activity from other users and both of their edits contributed positively to the wiki (by about equal to each other, 40-60% of the wiki), then they both stay as crats and they are both free to discuss how do they want to run the wiki. However they cannot block or remove each other without solid evidence either of them abused their permissions on-wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
::* However, if a community exists and it is community governed, even if a small one, then I would create an RfC within the wiki with the following options: revoke founder crat or appointed crat their permissions, let them keep both of them, or remove both of them and let someone else be the crat. This ensures that if either of them have abused their permissions negatively they will be removed according to the will of the community&lt;br /&gt;
: I&#039;ll also use Miraheze&#039;s policies as a &amp;quot;baseline&amp;quot; to move forward if no similar policies exists in WikiOasis as we&#039;re quite similar to Miraheze or discuss with the rest of the Stewards if something is unclear. There is tons of variables for some questions so I cannot account for every possibility, but I hope I have addressed most of the most important ones here. After taking action I&#039;ll report it to the team as well so they&#039;ll able to receive the information and take action if something else happens while I am offline.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you very much for the questions, I hope I was able to sufficiently demonstrate how capable I can be. [[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 13:26, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you may be better suited for a different global role (probably patroller), given your limited experience in such a position?&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your opinion on how to handle sensitive checkuser and suppression data?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 00:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:# I am definitely better suited for a lower-trusted role as I don&#039;t have any experience like Crystalite. However I have one singular advantage that I have already signed an Non-Disclosure Agreement with WikiOasis back when I moved from the SkyWiki incident, allowing me to handle sensitive data that others may not able, or may not want to do so. And I believe having a +1 to the Steward team would be to WikiOasis&#039;s benefit as we have recently accepted an very high risk wiki (Italian Brainrot Wiki). Additionally I will taking sort of a backstage position as a Steward to gain more experience from others as I notably lack experience and time to do so (I&#039;ll be more available once I graduate 12th grade) so I can improve myself for the platform. However, it is still reasonable if you believe I should make an request for an lower trusted role such as Global Patroller as well.&lt;br /&gt;
:# I believe to handle sensitive data such as CU and Suppression, you should have an secure account first (like enabling 2FA) and never use your Steward account to access WikiOasis on an public computer (if you have to do that, make sure the cookies are cleared before leaving or reset your password) as some people may be very much at risk if such data is leaked. Additionally you should only need to view these data when it is necessary, such as cross-wiki abuse as this is not a tool you should play with, if you need help on on how to handle situations that may or may not need an CU/OS as a steward, you can also contact your fellow peers for help as they are authorized and NDAed as well. Another thing you shouldn&#039;t do while handling NDAed data is that you shouldn&#039;t save it to your computer, taking a quick note to compare should be fine but it has to be nuked after you&#039;re done with it. The reason why these safeguard should be the base standard when handing PII is because it is a massive risk if an Steward account is compromised as they have access to CheckUser, meaning they can collect data (such as IP or User Agent) from other people and put them at risk if the compromiser knows what are they doing.&lt;br /&gt;

# {{oppose}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! &#039;&#039;&#039;Edit:&#039;&#039;&#039; Some of the responses to Raidarr’s questions are concerning to me, specifically with the lack of familiarity with CU, especially when that is something Fearless mentioned as a priority (cu investigations) in their request. And when asked about why they wouldn’t apply for a lower position first the response was that they had already signed the NDA, which didn’t make much sense to me.

# My position is mostly {{abstain}} but I wish you well, and I believe global admin would be a fair position alongside Crystalite because I think you are in a similar place as far as needing growth but being coachable, and the role &#039;one step down&#039; would help you ease into being a platform-facing figure. This is purely based on my personal assessment of both of you and what I&#039;ve seen you handle. You have the deeper investment in the platform although it is exclusively on Discord so far. Either role would help you grow, stewardship as something of a trial by fire as far as how you would handle things being on fire on the field. Would you need training regarding tools like CU? Absolutely. Can you be trained? I think you can, and could do some good if some more senior volunteers took you under their wing. Projects like IBW offer relatively easy and plentiful opportunities to build investigation skills, which ultimately can start even as a GS since a lot of the job involves information already in the open. I encourage asking questions and working with peers closely, especially if you are entrusted with the Steward kit. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 14:24, 19 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi, I am Bosco (aka PB2008 on Miraheze) and I am requesting for global sysop here. I joined WikiOasis for 17 months and would like to help dealing with LTAs, especially for wikis using Chinese. I am a global patroller on Miraheze for nearly two months and was a steward before SkyWiki was merged to here in March. I am sure that I have the experience to this permission. Thank you.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Raidarr (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did not expect to fire for this role at first, on account of being in quite a few places and being on projects that must take higher priority. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing existing requests I have shifted in this position, and I believe I would offer some value as a figure providing second-opinions who can temper decision making, a presence in appeals, and occasionally someone to complete first line actions if I am in the right spot and ahead on other projects, among other aspects a Steward is involved in. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would also like to exert some influence in developing the community model with insights from, but not directly mirroring Miraheze. Indirect activity like this I consider a major aspect of a community facing role such as Steward. I am interested in other organizational aspects such as pushing for the reduction of direct board bureaucracy in local governance and optimizing the procedures the platform uses in favor of more straightforward and thoughtful service. Stewardship is a role offering gravitas quite useful in these fields even if it does not directly control them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the capacity I offer if the project would like to have it, I welcome critical votes and any questions that might interest you.&lt;br /&gt;

# {{support}}, I think raidarr is the person we need on the community and governance side who is prepared to make difficult decisions that others will not, and has a unique position to make judgement and pass guidance from a more external perspective to help guide things when others are doing so poorly.

# {{support}} per Zippy, WikiOasis desperately needs someone that has a large amount of experience and insight as Raidarr, having Raidarr here to even at least train the WikiOasis Volunteers here would be an massive benefit to the platform overall and helps each of us WO Volunteers grow individually as well.

== Justarandomamerican (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! I&#039;m Justarandomamerican, and I am filing a request for stewardship, because the board has abolished the staff role, and for staff members to keep their permissions, they must stand for election. I&#039;ve been here since 2024, when the farm was founded. I hope the community trusts me. Thank you for your time! [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 21:10, 16 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates.  Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, what do you currently do that requires Steward capabilities?&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users appear in the CheckUser interface who both appear to be using Tor who are regular editors on a large wiki, which is also being attacked seemingly out of nowhere by an assailant who is using Tor and free VPNs. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest their editing styles are similar (but no major stylistic tells)? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
# How would you close a vote proposing a change in which seven people essentially say support and maybe a few words, nothing really in depth, and three people have articulated major concerns with the proposal at the level of detail of these questions? Would that process change if it was only one oppose like this to seven support, and if that oppose appeared just before you were going to close the RfC?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# How do you see your history as president of the WikiOasis Foundation fits into this role, and the trust that the community will be placing in you that may not yet have been rebuilt?&lt;br /&gt;
# What do you think that you would bring to the steward team that other candidates may not?&lt;br /&gt;
# Can you discuss what your reasoning behind [https://italianbrainrot.wikioasis.org/wiki/Special:Log?logid=23008 this] was, as there were local administrators at the time who could&#039;ve handled this apparent one off incident?&lt;br /&gt;
# How do you feel that team discussion fits into the handling of appeals by banned and locked users, do you think that an appeal should be solely handled by one person without discussion?&lt;br /&gt;

== Steward for Zippy ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{User2|Zippy}} • Hiya, I don&#039;t think I really need to offer much in the way of introduction, as you most likely know me already, I&#039;ve served the platform since October 2024 in tech, and have helped out in global enforcement since day 1 as well. As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration. Please feel free to follow up with questions below (preferably related to steward work as opposed to tech, but I&#039;ll answer tech questions too), and I look forward to hopefully serving you. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 01:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users are connecting from T-Mobile USA with IPs that are absolutely all over the place. One uses an android and windows 10 and the other regularly connects from a different browser on windows 10. One has been there a long time and the other &#039;user&#039; is a string of alt accounts that spam gibberish. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out? Am I missing an important detail that would make the connection (or not) more clear?&lt;br /&gt;
# How would you consider a request for permissions which has six supports, three oppose, and three abstains, assuming there was no dealbreaker in argument or an unaddressed concern by the requestor? Would your approach change if there was a minor question left unanswered?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:# Many many mistakes, an abridged list is:&lt;br /&gt;
:#* My approach to deployment of codebase changes was scrappy until very recently, causing regular downtimes because I typed the wrong thing, it&#039;s changed now in that they are tested on staging first which is a completely separate server (apart from database due to time constraints of setting up a fully separate environment and beta cluster)&lt;br /&gt;
:#* My approach to the behaviours of an LTA (you&#039;ll know who I mean), and my relation to the activities other team members who crossed a line, which I shouldn&#039;t have had the level of involvement and awareness that I did&lt;br /&gt;
:#* My attitudes to others have sometimes been less than acceptable, I have lost my temper at times and made comments that in hindsight I was less than proud of&lt;br /&gt;
:#* The growth of tech was handled by both me and others on the board at the time poorly, onboarding close to half a dozen people with no clear goals in sight leading to me still doing all the work because even of the willing volunteers none knew how to do shit&lt;br /&gt;
:#* The expansion of the feature set of TSPortal was way more than it needed to be, in an attempt to somewhat mirror what miraheze does despite the need not really being there for what it could do&lt;br /&gt;
:# At the scale WO runs at, it&#039;s not very impressive compared to keeping the lights on, but essentially as privileged helpers, who can resolve some frontend issues, along with filling in for local authority when needed to handle vandalism or abuse issues, and to an extent governance if such an issue were to arise&lt;br /&gt;
:# I wouldn&#039;t link them particularly closely, if they geolocated closely or had editing patterns/timings similar then it could be a possibility, but I wouldn&#039;t consider it to be a possibility generally as it&#039;s too vague to be able to consider them anything beyond a tenuous link&lt;br /&gt;
:# I&#039;d review mostly based on my own judgement of the arguments presented within the discussion, along with my assessment of the candidate, potentially involving other stewards if necessary in a way that may add value — if a question was left unanswered, would depend on whether the question could&#039;ve led to some argument being significantly weaker/stronger, but it probably wouldn&#039;t make a significant difference, and it would be based on my assessment of the discussion and candidate&lt;br /&gt;

In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, what do you currently do that requires Steward capabilities?&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users appear in the CheckUser interface with an identical user agent and IPs that are different but both fall within a 192.94.21.0/24 range. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
# An RfC proposing a major change languishes after a few weeks with two strong supports and one abstain. Lets say  for the sake of something to work with that it introduces changes to the Content Policy and there&#039;s nothing about it that would inherently deserve a veto. How would you approach this RfC?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:# Wiki requests and managing abuse filters are the two key responsibilities that Stewards handle - handling CheckUser requests is a close third.&lt;br /&gt;
:# My mistakes don&#039;t really involve my use of the Steward toolset, but rather my overzealous approach to threats of legal complaints (which is mostly a Safety thing). I admittedly haven&#039;t improved on that yet, but I would think carefully and determine if there is merit to the complaints and if they can be resolved without involving the Foundation in the courts, and not let emotion cloud my judgement in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
:# A Steward represents the community aspect of policy legislation and enforcement, as opposed to the Board which handles legal policy and Safety which enforces that policy.&lt;br /&gt;
:# Given the fact that the IP range belongs to a university, the user agent + behavioral evidence is more important than usual. If the accounts are likely to belong to the same person, that would be grounds for a lock. If there is reasonable doubt, err towards the side of caution and wait for concrete proof of multi-account abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
:# There would be a quorum of votes required to pass an RfC - that number will obviously shrink and grow as time goes on. If the quorum happens to be 3 votes minimum, the RfC would have to be closed as successful if it does not contradict Board policy.&lt;br /&gt;

== Globe (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! My name is Globe, and I am also a founding member of WikiOasis making this RfS as part of the recent board decision to transition to a community governance model. I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users based in China appear in the CheckUser interface with a user agent that indicates Google Chrome on an android device (no apparent difference) and identical IPs from a common VPN. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
# A user requested a wiki say a year ago, made a very large number of edits for say six months, and for the last six months has completely disappeared. A new user comes in and successfully manages to be appointed bureaucrat by a peer. This user also makes many contributions but is running things very differently then how they were originally. A few weeks later the original bureaucrat returns and is absolutely irate about the new guy. The two have a massive pissing match and block each other which goes as well as you expect and it comes to your table. What is your approach to this situation?&lt;br /&gt;
# What were the merits of appointing Crystalite as a Global Sysop initially? Was it a team decision? If applicable, should such decisions be a team decision, excluding the scenario where it becomes election only?&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I really do appreciate the questions! It actually gives these elections some purpose and the community a better idea of who they’re electing. &lt;br /&gt;
:# Absolutely I have, none of us our perfect. The thing I’ll talk about here is teamwork. Working as apart of a team is difficult, no matter whether that’s in person or online. People have different views and feel quite strongly that their way is right. This is the same for me. I need to be more open to comprise and less “my way or the highway” per se. I’m actively working to do better at that both here and in real life. &lt;br /&gt;
:# My ideal vision of stewardship would be a team of users empowered with special tools to assist the communities of WikiOasis. Whether that’s be handling abuse globally or assisting with requests on meta, my goal would be that all stewards are simply doing their best to make the best decisions and actions for the community. &lt;br /&gt;
:# Definitely not a “slam dunk,” but a connection is definitely possible. User agents are very rarely a reliable means to determine sockpuppetry and usage of the same VPN indicates they may be related, but it could also simply be two users happening to be connecting to WO via the same proxy (especially if they are located in China and have to use a VPN). I would first talk with my team. As this is obviously a potentially complex case, I would want to talk with the other stewards before doing anything unilaterally. I would also look for any other similarities (editing pattern/history, usernames, etc.) I wouldn’t take any action without discussing with the team for a case like this, however, for the sake of answering this question, I don’t think it would be a bad idea at all to email the user in question (assuming all of their edits are in good faith and positive) asking if they are aware about our policy on multiple accounts. &lt;br /&gt;
:# I’d say the existence of an active community really comes into play here. If an active community exists on the local wiki in question, I would coordinate with the other stewards to facilitate a community discussion about the direction of the wiki. If the changes made to the wiki are sufficient enough to change its entire scope, I would suggest that the “new user” bureaucrat request a new wiki, given that changes in scope are prohibited without approval. &lt;br /&gt;
:# When Crystalite messaged me after the announcement in the WO Discord server looking for global staff, they mentioned they were active on Miraheze. As Miraheze is a respectable (pause to look at Fandom) farm with somewhat similar workings and policies as WO, I was willing to consider the application despite limited experience on WO. I then contacted Tali64 regarding the application, as he is active on Miraheze as well. He shared the Crystalite had been extremely helpful with CVT reports. He also agreed that with the recent hosting of Italian Brainrot Wiki, more help would be needed. We then discussed what position they would be best for, which I will not share out of respect for information that was shared privately to me by Crystalite. We landed on global sysop and they were appointed later that day. Global sysops are now election only I believe so the second part is moot. -[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 03:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I do want to add on to the question about Crystalite. When I was looking at their Miraheze experience, I was also looking at their temperament and attitude towards other users. I was looking less at their actions directly, which while important, can always be taught. Their conduct and demeanor towards users was always extremely helpful and respectful. That’s what impressed me the most. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 03:34, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your view on the boundary between the board and the community, and where the line is drawn between what the board and what the community govern?&lt;br /&gt;
# What do you think that you would bring to the steward team that other candidates may not?&lt;br /&gt;
# Where do you think the line between what is considered a T&amp;amp;S issue compared to one that can be handled by global enforcement?&lt;br /&gt;
# When do you think it is appropriate to leave local administration to handle an issue as opposed to you doing so as a steward?&lt;br /&gt;
# Mirroring the above, what was your thought process between the appointment of Crystalite with little to no internal discussion?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Best, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 00:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:# That line is at an ever changing point right now. Currently, the bylaws allow for direct election of the steward role by the community, but not much else. I wouldn’t be shocked if that changes in the near future, but currently, that is the only direct way the community has to “govern” itself. However, I don’t believe that it would be a stretch to think that the board would listen to and comply with community requests through processes like Requests for Comment. For me personally, I believe the board has sole authority and discretion regarding legal compliance and financial decisions (although both should be done transparently). I also, though controversially, believe that part of legal compliance involves site governance. So I do believe the board, by default, has control over the governance of the site, unless specifically stated otherwise in the bylaws (such as direct election of stewards). I hope this makes sense, I’m very tired and kind of rambling. &lt;br /&gt;
:# That’s a tough question as many of the candidates are extremely knowledgeable and qualified, but I’d have to say a different perspective. I’m definitely an outside the box thinker (whether that’s a good or bad thing, you can be the judge) and I really like to try new things to test how we can improve users experiences on WO. Some of my ideas aren’t super technically feasible, so there’s that. :)&lt;br /&gt;
:# I’d say anything that borders on the lines of illegal or severely violates our terms of use/service. Anything surrounding harassment, the immediate safety of our users, or legal requests (data removal, underage users, etc) should be directed to trust and safety. Simple vandalism, including sockpuppetry and long-term abuse, that does not involve and legal issues is fine to allow global enforcement to handle. &lt;br /&gt;
:# If you could be more specific, that would be very helpful. “An issue” is super broad and could mean anything from a simply spam edit bypassing the filter to a complex community discussion where users are attacking each other. &lt;br /&gt;
:# See my reply to Raidarr. If you have any other questions to follow-up that, I’d be happy to answer them. —[[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 03:31, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Crystalite13 (Global Sysop)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! My name is Crystalite and I am running for Global Sysop (a position I was appointed to today) because the aforementioned staff role abolishment. I joined recently but am experienced in the wiki community, being very active around Miraheze. When elected properly, I plan to help out with Meta clean up, vandalism, and wiki requests. Thanks for listening to me! [[User:Crystalite13|Crystalite13]] ([[User talk:Crystalite13|talk]]) 02:00, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates. Some I admit are bundled questions, feel free to answer to the extent applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, I have a two part question; what do you consider the skills you bring to the role, and what do you think you need assistance learning?&lt;br /&gt;
# As a very new candidate and figure to the platform, what would you say to concerns about electing/promoting a user with under 100 global edits to a mid-senior CVT role?&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a global sysop is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Suppose you have the following actions to use. Lock (reasons spam, vandalism, abuse of multiple accounts, long term abuse or username policy violation), issue a warning, and consult with peers if you do not have a clear answer or feel it is out of your scope. Which would you consider appropriate for these examples? You can write in something different if you believe it would be appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;
#* a. An account that fills their userpage with text describing automotive services, and a day later edits links to an automotive website on their meta userpage. New account, no other messages, say within a day to a week.&lt;br /&gt;
#* b. An account that fills their userpage with text describing their background as a wiki editor who really likes cars, and they link to a personal blog about cars at the same time. New account, no other messages, say within a day to a week.&lt;br /&gt;
#* c. A newly registered account by the name &amp;quot;Hentai&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
#* d. A newly registered account with a userpage stating they are 12 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
#* e. Two users engaging in a bitter argument with insults on a wiki with admins who are recently active, assuming you have no other context to go on at this time.&lt;br /&gt;
#* f. Three accounts are created with incrementing usernames (idk, Awesome1, Awesome2, Awesome3...) and the first one has made several edits giving advice that isn&#039;t quite right.&lt;br /&gt;
#* g. You are browsing a random wiki and come across a user who recently blanked large sections of several page for no apparent reason. The pages still have stuff on them, but they are now stubs. An admin last edited about three days ago.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you, --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 22:45, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Thank you for your thoughtful questions, I will do my best to answer these questions!&lt;br /&gt;
:1. I think Patroller on miraheze Meta has helped me be comfortable in identifying stuff like spam, vandalism, and other issues quickly. I have had experience using sysop tools on the miraheze Grace Wiki, a semi-popular one, which I&#039;d say involves a lot of coordination and learning to work with people. For assistance, I&#039;d say I want help on more complex cases that aren&#039;t entirely textbook, especially considering policy interpretation and documentation is lacking a bit on meta.&lt;br /&gt;
:2. If I were an outsider, I&#039;d say my biggest concern would be giving someone so new such large hats. Sure, my Miraheze experience can also be counted a little bit, but WikiOasis has its fair share of differences. I totally understand why my appointment was a little shaky-I was pretty surprised myself, straightaway getting the role. Talking about myself, being, well...myself, I can&#039;t reasonably say I will be perfect in my role, because firstly, I&#039;m biased...surprise, surprise, and also because I&#039;m human. The simple fact is, the most senior stewards to the newest faces will all make mistakes, and I&#039;m no exception. If I am elected, all I can promise is that as a relatively new user, I will do my best and seek guidance from my fellows.&lt;br /&gt;
:3. I think what I&#039;d want most from global sysop is more distinction than just &amp;quot;sysop but everywhere&amp;quot;. It&#039;s a new role, so I&#039;d say what I&#039;d want from it is not only just maintenance of different wikis, but more interaction.  &lt;br /&gt;
:4A. For this, considering it&#039;s a brand new account, I&#039;d delete the userpage and llock with the reasoning of an account only made for spam/advertising purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
:4B. This wouldn&#039;t be too much of a concern to me if it&#039;s general info about them self and the link to the blog isn&#039;t very pushed/spammed everywhere. &lt;br /&gt;
:4C. Just a lock for this one.&lt;br /&gt;
:4D. For this, I&#039;d delete the local page and contact T@S to vanish the account and hide revisions.&lt;br /&gt;
:4E. For this one, I&#039;d only intervene straightaway if there&#039;s serious stuff, like death threats and similar. But if it&#039;s just a plain nasty discussion and the admin&#039;s aren&#039;t intervening, I&#039;d leave a message on the most recently active one, more like a friendly user giving a nudge than an action from a global sysop.&lt;br /&gt;
:4F. For this one, I&#039;m not totally sure. It&#039;s possible they&#039;re socks, but if they have done nothing I ask someone else and keep an eye on the accounts.&lt;br /&gt;
:4G. I&#039;d revert the changes, and if the user had made constructive edits before, issue a warning, but if not then I&#039;d lock with the reasoning of VOA. [[User:Crystalite13|Crystalite13]] ([[User talk:Crystalite13|talk]]) 02:42, 18 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions targeted towards individual candidates across the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# What are your thoughts on your appointment to the role prior to this election? Do you feel that it was right for you to accept such an appointment without community involvement?&lt;br /&gt;
# What do you see yourself doing on the day-to-day, which areas would you most likely want to work within?&lt;br /&gt;
# Where do you see the overlap between stewards and global sysops, and where do you see the line between what should be handled by a global sysop and what would be best handled by a steward?&lt;br /&gt;
# How do you see local administration fitting into the role of global sysops and stewards?&lt;br /&gt;

== Fearless (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup is good in case of heavy loads as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki into WikiOasis. While I am quite vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around (somewhat) and know obvious signs of abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll also answer any questions that you may have as well. I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you for your consideration! [[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 10:12, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the interests of making this more of an interesting process than a formality, I have a few questions which more or less mirror to all candidates.&lt;br /&gt;
# Based on your request, how much do you know about the CheckUser and Investigate interface?&lt;br /&gt;
# Do you believe you have made mistakes in your official capacity on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.&lt;br /&gt;
# What is your vision of what a steward is, and what they do for the community?&lt;br /&gt;
# Two users appear in the CheckUser interface. Both are Google Chrome user agents and both have many IPs that appear within a residential /64 ipv6 range. Is this a slam dunk connection, if your review of edits suggest &#039;maybe&#039;? Why/why not, and if not, what&#039;s the next step to find out?&lt;br /&gt;
#* If you have takes on some of the CU-related questions for the other candidates feel free to chew on them if you like also, relative to your professed interest in investigations.&lt;br /&gt;
# A user requested a wiki say a year ago, made a very large number of edits for say six months, and for the last six months has completely disappeared. A new user comes in and successfully manages to be appointed bureaucrat by a peer. This user also makes many contributions but is running things very differently then how they were originally. A few weeks later the original bureaucrat returns and is absolutely irate about the new guy. The two have a massive pissing match and block each other which goes as well as you expect and it comes to your table. What is your approach to this situation?&lt;br /&gt;

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better?

As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration.

== Globe (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! My name is Globe, and I am also a founding member of WikiOasis making this RfS as part of the recent board decision to transition to a community governance model. I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Fearless (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration.

== Globe (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! My name is Globe, and I am also a founding member of WikiOasis making this RfS as part of the recent board decision to transition to a community governance model. I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Fearless (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration.

== Globe (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! My name is Globe, and I am also a founding member of WikiOasis making this RfS as part of the recent board decision to transition to a community governance model. I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Fearless (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hello! My name is Crystalite and I am running for Global Sysop (a position I was appointed to today) because the aforementioned staff role abolishment. I joined recently but am experienced in the wiki community, being very active around Miraheze. When elected properly, I plan to help out with Meta clean up, vandalism, and wiki requests.

== Fearless (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi, I am Bosco (aka PB2008 on Miraheze) and I am requesting for global sysop here. I joined WikiOasis for 17 months and would like to help dealing with LTAs, especially for wikis using Chinese. I am a global patroller on Miraheze for nearly two months and was a steward before SkyWiki was merged to here in March. I am sure that I have the experience to this permission. Thank you.

Hello!

I&#039;ve been here since 2024, when the farm was founded. I hope the community trusts me. Thank you for your time!

{{User2|Zippy}} • Hiya, I don&#039;t think I really need to offer much in the way of introduction, as you most likely know me already, I&#039;ve served the platform since October 2024 in tech, and have helped out in global enforcement since day 1 as well. As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration. Please feel free to follow up with questions below (preferably related to steward work as opposed to tech, but I&#039;ll answer tech questions too), and I look forward to hopefully serving you. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 01:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Fearless (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi, I am Bosco (aka PB2008 on Miraheze) and I am requesting for global sysop here. I joined WikiOasis for 17 months and would like to help dealing with LTAs, especially for wikis using Chinese. I am a global patroller on Miraheze for nearly two months and was a steward before SkyWiki was merged to here in March. I am sure that I have the experience to this permission. Thank you.

== Steward for Zippy ==&lt;br /&gt;

As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration. Please feel free to follow up with questions below (preferably related to steward work as opposed to tech, but I&#039;ll answer tech questions too), and I look forward to hopefully serving you. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 01:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi, I am Bosco (aka PB2008 on Miraheze) and I am requesting for global sysop here. I joined WikiOasis for 17 months and would like to help dealing with LTAs, especially for wikis using Chinese. I am a global patroller on Miraheze for nearly two months and was a steward before SkyWiki was merged to here in March. I am sure that I have the experience to this permission. Thank you.

Hello! I&#039;m Justarandomamerican, and I am filing a request for stewardship, because the board has abolished the staff role, and for staff members to keep their permissions, they must stand for election. I&#039;ve been here since 2024, when the farm was founded. I hope the community trusts me. Thank you for your time!

== Steward for Zippy ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{User2|Zippy}} • Hiya, I don&#039;t think I really need to offer much in the way of introduction, as you most likely know me already, I&#039;ve served the platform since October 2024 in tech, and have helped out in global enforcement since day 1 as well. As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration. Please feel free to follow up with questions below (preferably related to steward work as opposed to tech, but I&#039;ll answer tech questions too), and I look forward to hopefully serving you. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 01:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Justarandomamerican (Steward)==&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! I&#039;m Justarandomamerican, and I am filing a request for stewardship, because the board has abolished the staff role, and for staff members to keep their permissions, they must stand for election. I&#039;ve been here since 2024, when the farm was founded. I hope the community trusts me. Thank you for your time!

== Steward for Zippy ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{User2|Zippy}} • Hiya, I don&#039;t think I really need to offer much in the way of introduction, as you most likely know me already, I&#039;ve served the platform since October 2024 in tech, and have helped out in global enforcement since day 1 as well. As the result of a recent board motion, stewards will now be community elected (yay), so I am putting myself forward for your consideration. Please feel free to follow up with questions below (preferably related to steward work as opposed to tech, but I&#039;ll answer tech questions too), and I look forward to hopefully serving you. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Zippy|zippy]]&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039; ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 01:08, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Globe (steward) ==&lt;br /&gt;
Hi there! My name is Globe, and I am also a founding member of WikiOasis making this RfS as part of the recent board decision to transition to a community governance model. I currently serve as the director of operations for WO and the Vice President of the WO Foundation board of directors. I would love to continue in my role as a steward to keep up my work in managing LTAs and abuse globally, in addition to handling some wiki requests. I have signed the required NDA for this position and am eager to answer any questions you may have. Happy editing! :) [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Hi, some of you may know me in the Discord Server as I had been moderating it. Today I&#039;m running for Steward due to Zippy&#039;s suggestion as I have already signed an NDA with the Foundation and having 1 Steward as backup in case of heavy loads is good as we have recently accepted the Italian Brainrot Wiki. While vastly inexperienced (even tho I&#039;m a little bit active at Miraheze), I would like to have an opportunity to be able to learn from having this position, I plan to help out with CU investigations and dealing with other tasks that other Global Roles like Global Sysops cannot. While I am inexperienced, I do know my way around somewhat and know obvious signs of abuse, I hope you&#039;ll vote for me as with others as well, thank you!

# {{oppose|weak}}. While you&#039;ve no doubt been very helpful in monitoring our Discord community, and that is much appreciated, I don&#039;t really have any way to know how you&#039;ll handle the tools of stewardship. Your first meta edit was today, which isn&#039;t 100% a dealbreaker with experience on other projects, but that wasn&#039;t mentioned in the request. I would personally encourage you to start out at a lower-level role to help build MediaWiki knowledge. A role like meta admin or wiki creator might suit your strengths better? Anyways, best of luck and thank you for running! [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 14:01, 17 April 2026 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Invalid Discord Invite ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Discord invite link on the [[Main Page]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Contact Us&#039;&#039; section is invalid. Just a heads up!&amp;amp;nbsp;[[User:Metrago|Metrago]] ([[User talk:Metrago|talk]]) 14:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Hey mate, thanks for reporting this. It is now fixed by Waki. --&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;(&#039;&#039;&#039;[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]&#039;&#039;&#039;)&#039;&#039;&#039; 09:50, 15 December 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trust and Safety groups deprecated ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because of lack of need at this time, WikiOasis [[Trust and Safety]] as a team has merged into [[Stewards]]. This means I am the &#039;Trust and Safety Representative&#039;, of sorts, but ultimately a Steward by role. Globe is now just Steward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To refresh on how the farm is run, it is governed by an Executive Team that includes stewards and sysadmins, who respectively handle community and technology affairs on the farm (though membership can and does overlap). There are other possibilities, for example we have some advisors and are willing to work with people who have decent ideas how to push the farm forward (we could always use some energy), and if you have a wiki project you&#039;d like to host we&#039;re open to discussing that as well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take care all,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Adding links ==&lt;br /&gt;
Please include important links in the main menu on the left side (you can edit MediaWiki:Sidebar as an IA), as this will provide easy access to them.&amp;amp;nbsp;[[User:TheAstorPastor|TheAstorPastor]] ([[User talk:TheAstorPastor|talk]]) 13:44, 31 October 2024 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Appeal to ban at Discord ==&lt;br /&gt;
Greetings everyone I, TheAstorPastor, am writing this to appeal the ban that was recently imposed on me at the official Discord server by Zippybonzo. The ban was issued after I shared screenshots of a random conversation in the official Discord server, which I had no connection to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initially, I was banned without a clear explanation, and when I enquired about the reason, I was presented with two screenshots (which I have emailed to staffwikioasis@gmail.com; if allowed by the stewards, I would post them here too). Upon reviewing them, I clarified that it wasn’t me involved in the conversation but rather someone impersonating me using my profile picture and name. Despite my explanation, Zippybonzo remained unconvinced and stated that the screenshots came from a &amp;quot;trusted source.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to emphasize that I have maintained a good standing in various communities, including TestWiki. I acknowledge that I was previously banned from Wikipedia for sockpuppetry, a very serious mistake on my part. However, I also believe that my contributions there were valuable, and I plan to appeal to the Wikipedia community in November to rectify that situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I kindly request that you reconsider my ban from the Discord server of Wikioasis. I value being part of this community and would appreciate the opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings regarding this incident. Thank you for your time and consideration.
