== Nominating Asteralee for Meta Administrator ==
== Zippybonzo (Wiki Creator) ==
{{discussion top|outcome=This is unanimously successful. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 18:00, 3 May 2026 (UTC)}}
{{Userlinks|Asteralee}} <br>
Permission: Administrator <br>
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)<br>


=== Candidate Nomination Statement ===
{{Userlinks|Zippybonzo}} <br>
Thank you for nominating me. I accept! <span style="background:#f9e6f9;border-radius:7px;padding:0 2px;font-style:italic; font-family:Georgia, serif;"> [[User:Asteralee|<span style="color:#A76BCF">⯎ aster</span>]][[User talk:Asteralee|<span style="color:#9400A5">alee ⯎</span>]] </span> 19:50, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
Permission: <!--Meta Rollback, Administrator, Interface Administrator, or Wiki Creator.--> Wiki Creator<br>
Reason: <!--INSERT STATEMENT HERE--> While technically I can create wikis through the sysadmin toolset, I'd rather officialise it so that I can create wikis in the capacity of a Wiki Creator, rather than just for technical reasons as part of my sysadmin role. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 10:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC) <br>


=== Questions for Candidate ===
=== Questions for candidate ===
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.
# Tell me about yourself - Why did you want to become an Meta Administrator and what were the circumstances of your appointment to be one?
# What do you consider the skills you bring to the role, and what do you think you need assistance learning?
# 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?
# What is your vision of what a meta sysop is, and what they do for the community?
# 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've noticed you have not replied to me when I said hello to you in an volunteer channel.
# 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.
#* 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.
#* 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.
#* c. A newly registered account by the name "Food Porn".
#* 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.
#* 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.
#* f. Three accounts are created with incrementing usernames (idk, Fearless1, Fearless2, Fearless3...) and the first one has made several edits giving advice that isn't quite right.
#* 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.
Thank you, --[[User:Fearless|Fearless]] ([[User talk:Fearless|talk]]) 04:22, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

# {{Support}} Yes beside system administrator it would be more official getting this. [[User:TheOriginalOne|TheOriginalOne]] ([[User talk:TheOriginalOne|talk]]) 10:35, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
# {{support}}. This discussion is moot, not required, and was handled poorly. I have no concerns with Astralee’s use of the tools. They are trusted on Simple English Wikipedia as well. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 01:24, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
# {{support}} I liked the catch of the spelling mistake on the “frictional” wiki. No concerns. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 10:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
# {{support}} zero concerns. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 15:46, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
# {{support}} Zippybonzo was steward on other wikifarm and he knows WC policies and access. [[User:AlPaD|AlPaD]] ([[User talk:AlPaD|talk]]) 13:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
# {{Support|Strongest}} They are [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Asteralee Asteralee from Wikimedia]; they are a Rollbacker and a Patroller on Simple English Wikipedia, and they are Autopatrolled on Meta-Wiki. Clearly a trusted person with zero vandalic intentions, who knows how Mediawiki works, and who has the "wiki spirit": always kind, patient, respectful, friendly, collaborative. I trust them with the admin tools and, if they ever want to become one, I'd also support a future Global Adminship candidature.

#{{support}} While there may be concerns about your English-speaking abilities, our community embraces everyone. There's a possibility that a user who shares your language might request a wiki, and your fluency in those particular languages could be a valuable asset to us. [[User:TheAstorPastor|TheAstorPastor]] ([[User talk:TheAstorPastor|talk]]) 13:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
#: Yes, but English fluency is important for communication and understanding the interface. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 14:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
# {{support}} User is very trusted on other wikis, I believe that he can help as wiki creator. [[User:AlPaD|AlPaD]] ([[User talk:AlPaD|talk]]) 14:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

# <s>{{oppose|weak}}</s> {{oppose}} I have concerns about your fluency with english, and the fact you requested a wiki with 3 grammatical errors raises major concerns for me. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 11:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
#:Change to oppose due to the user saying private wikis aren't allowed, and declining request 2, as it should've been held and asked for more info about the game. [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 15:54, 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.
