Permission: Administrator
Reason: As WikiOasis is currently moving forward into Community Governance, I believe it is reasonable for @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. --Fearless (talk) 04:22, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

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.

1. Tell me about yourself - Why did you want to become an Meta Administrator and what were the circumstances of your appointment to be one?
2. What do you consider the skills you bring to the role, and what do you think you need assistance learning?
3. 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?
4. What is your vision of what a meta sysop is, and what they do for the community?
5. 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.
6. 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, --Fearless (talk) 04:22, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Support

1.  Support no concerns --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 01:18, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
2.  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. Globe (talk) 01:24, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
3.  Support zero concerns. Justarandomamerican (talk) 15:46, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
4.  Strongest support They are 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. Good luck!! ~ Dream Indigo ✩ 17:56, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
5.  Support Per above AlPaD (talk) 02:36, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
6.  Strongest support Per above. --PinkPugPrincess (talk) 11:52, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
7.  Weak support I don't see why not, anyway. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:53, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
8.  Support Why not? - FNFGamer718 (talk) 17:58, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
