| # Could you let me know what actions you would take for the following requests (i.e approve, decline, mark on hold):
| |
| ## '''Site name:''' BirdWiki, '''DBname:''' birdwiki, '''Comments:''' This wiki will house everything about birds, including care guides, etc.
| |
| '''Answer''' -:
| |
| (1) Accept the request because the user who requested it explains the purpose and it is correct according to our content policy.
| |
| ## '''Site name:''' Valerant, '''DBname:''' subdomainwiki, '''Comments:''' This wiki be about valerant and has looking for game.
| |
| '''Answer''' -:
| |
| (2) Decline the request because there is no game which is valerent, there is valorant, and it can be a typo but it shows that the user needing the wiki do not provide clear explanation.
| |
| ## '''Site name:''' XXX, '''DBname:''' xxxwiki, '''Comments:''' This wiki will be about NSFW and include lots of pictures.
| |
| '''Answer''' -:
| |
| (3) Decline the request: NSFW Content is prohibited by the content policy
| |
| ## '''Site name:''' notes, '''DBname:''' noteswiki, '''Comments:''' This is a private wiki for all my notes.
| |
| #: Thanks in advance! [[User:Zippybonzo|Zippybonzo]] ([[User talk:Zippybonzo|talk]]) 15:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

| #{{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)

| # {{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)

| *{{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)

| # <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. [[User:TheAstorPastor|TheAstorPastor]] ([[User talk:TheAstorPastor|talk]]) 16:16, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
| |
| #:::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)

| === 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. |
