Permission: Wiki Creator
Reason: 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. Zippybonzo (talk) 10:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Questions for candidate
- 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! Zippybonzo (talk) 15:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Answer-: (4) Decline the request : Private wiki is not allowed as per our content policy. Happy editing Itsboyhappy (talk) 15:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Support
- 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. TheAstorPastor (talk) 13:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but English fluency is important for communication and understanding the interface. 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. AlPaD (talk) 14:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Abstain
Abstain I have been asked to comment but wish to remain neutral as a potential closer of this discussion. 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. --raidarr (📡) 21:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Oppose
Weak oppose
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. 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. 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. 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. Zippybonzo (talk) 10:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Even though it doesn't explicitly state that private wikis are forbideen - but [[1]] 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. Zippybonzo (talk) 11:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Permission: Wiki Creator
Reason: I would like to become a Wiki Creator for WikiOasis because I would like to help with the wiki request process and I believe I have the required knowledge to be appointed to this position. I am a person with lots of enthusiasm and I feel this is a role for me. I have previously been engaged with projects like Miraheze and am currently engaged with the Test Wiki and on the English Wikipedia. I know many languages (Native English + Polish and German (non-native). -->
