*{{abstain}} I have been asked to comment but wish to remain neutral as a potential closer of this discussion. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 16:39, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
*Unless this farm will appeal to certain languages very strongly, it is probably essential for a candidate to have a strong understanding of English. If not for what will likely be the majority of requests, then for communicating with the primarily English-speaking management of this farm. The Content Policy itself is not especially thorough, drawing what it has almost verbatim from Miraheze, and does not even approach the matter of private wikis. A mishap here is a failure of management to make this clear, not of the candidate, given the newness and lack of mold in this project. Really there should not be wiki creators at all who are not core team members, as it is the core team members who should not only understand what is supposed to be hosted but also to discover and patch up key holes like the private wiki question when they come up. I was told on Discord this isn't even intended to be a particularly large farm, so I don't see the need for a wiki creation team at all beyond the core staff who can take a glance. Unlike Miraheze it is unlikely this project will be buried in requests anytime soon.  Food for thought. --'''[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]''' '''('''[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]''')''' 21:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

#:: For private wikis, the content policy specifies that "WikiOasis is meant for collaborative knowledge sharing," so a personal wiki for note-taking wouldn’t be permitted. Regarding the gaming wiki, the repeated misspelling of "Valorant" as "valerant" indicates a lack of interest, suggesting the user may not be genuinely invested in the wiki. This also raises concerns about their ability to establish an effective governance structure for it. So he can proceed with declining the request.

#:::It doesn't say private wikis are explicitly forbidden, and the gaming wiki, it might not indicate lack of interest; they may not be able to spell it because their native language isn't english. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 10:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
#::::Even though it doesn't explicitly state that private wikis are forbideen - but [[https://meta.wikioasis.org/wiki/Content_policy?diff=prev&oldid=501|here]] you can clearly see it mentions "collaborative knowledge sharing" and not commercial ventures; additionally, the policy states - "foster a positive community focused on collaboration and knowledge sharing" ; a private wiki for keeping personal notes won't fulfil the purpose. And for the gaming one, it might be that because their native language isn't English, then here itsboyhappy's ability to speak other languages might be useful :)
#:::::It's moot now because the group has been removed, but that is just the thanks for abiding by the content policy bit, it's not a main part of the policy. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 11:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
