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)

Support

1.  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)

2.  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

Oppose

1.  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)
