You can request Steward, Global Sysop, and Global Patroller permissions on this page.
Any user who registered before a request was opened may vote in that request. Only one vote per user per request is permitted, and it cannot come from an alternative account. This is to prevent abuse.
All archives by year can be found here.
Please make your request below the line.
Fearless (Global Administrator)
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- This request is successful, gaining the required 5 !votes and support ratio. Globe's concerns have been considered, and I too would like to encourage the candidate to ask a lot of questions to Stewards when in doubt. Justarandomamerican (talk) 16:56, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
Hey, I'd like to run for Global Administrator so I can assist in CVT-related matters and be able to help the platform on-wiki as well rather then only being able to help on the Discord Server, while being able to have a chance to be mentored by someone extremely experienced like Raidarr and grow my experience & judgement as well. Although I don't have many edits on Meta, I've been in the WikiOasis Discord Server for months now and have assisted in moderation, in addition to helping Skywiki getting merged to WikiOasis. All questions are welcomed and I'll try my best to answer them in a timely order.
Thank you for your consideration, --Fearless (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
Questions
- Do you believe that community facing users such as Stewards and Global sysops need to be professional when interacting with community members on-wiki and off-wiki? Does it matter with whom you are speaking to? -Globe (talk) 13:44, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
- I believe respect is for everyone (that is being reasonable) regardless of whatever position they are in or anywhere. However, I hold higher respect for people such as Raidarr whom has given me priceless advice before that I couldn't get elsewhere until recently this year. Though, for professionalism, while I would say I treat it similarly as respecting people, but it depends on where and context.
- If I'm in a public space, doesn't matter if it's on or off wiki (such as WikiOasis Discord Server at #general), I'll try to be a bit professional in my responses and be more patient for individuals who isn't being incredibly disrespectful (like calling volunteers nazis, for example).
- If I'm in a friend group, then I won't be professional at all, no need to be stiff when you don't have to.
- I hope I have addressed your question appropriately. Thank you. --Fearless (talk) 14:06, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
Discussion
- I will enter and say
Support, but other things as well. Generally, I think you could do reasonably with the role here; its a good place to grow from and you do improve as time goes on. It can help you get more used to features and working with people. As far as one thing to improve, Globe asked a good question and I think your answer is quite muddled. Now, I'm the one who will make it clear if I do not like you for your approach from the outset, I am after all the one who made this lock on Miraheze. But there are a few things to say about this. For one it was exceptional in proportion to the attitude. You can review that profile and see they really pushed the boundary and no less than that should elicit the most curt responses. Secondly even with that in mind, it really isn't the ideal response. It can feel good to make, but it's not very professional and it does not contribute to the better image of Miraheze. After the action I'd wondered if anyone would think so and I did not see comment about it, but if someone did comment about that they'd be well within their rights. So if there is anyone I hold in greater respect when taking actions its people like peer NotAracham who is consistently professional, and yet has a more 'fearsome reputation' in some circles (I'm told, anyway). Here I've said in a couple places Dream Indigo is the role model for representation, they remind me of Reception123 on Miraheze. A consistent face, friendly but capable of being firm. So what is a good answer to Globe? I think it is to commit to a baseline of respect. You give everyone a fair chance, an initially equal opportunity from the moment they first turn up. You resist the urge to withhold it, unless it is proven decisively that it is not deserved, as MrPseudonymousEgo did by attacking a volunteer, and doubling down when the consequences were delivered despite saying he was leaving anyway. Even then the above would apply, but then you're mixing both necessary professionalism with a honest reflection of principle, and not accepting the premise of abuse. You also set a very high bar before the claws come out. Not every occasion of bad attitude or being a dick deserves your rebuke, and a respect-first attitude helps you avoid making that call when it simply isn't fair. Food for thought, --raidarr (📡) 12:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
Support I would like to begin by stating that he has addressed my inquiries regarding his candidacy on Discord, and I must say that his responses were quite close to what I was seeking. I believe this could serve as a solid foundation for him to learn. --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 17:04, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
Support — I expect you to obviously make some mistakes, but I think overall you're in the right place and I think with some guidance you should be able to contribute positively to the project. --zippybonzo (c • ca) 19:05, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
- I've mulled over this for a few days, and I think I'm going to land at a
Weak oppose. I have a few concerns regarding Fearless's previous interactions with some of our communities and unfamiliarity with our processes. In the previous request, it was mentioned that despite Fearless's lack of experience on-wiki, they are still familiar with how the wiki operates due to them being active on the Discord. A few things have surfaced over the past few days/weeks that make me question this philosophy. I'll name a few:
- Asking stewards to close Raidarr's after it had been open for just three days, simply because of the vote count
- Asking one of our communities why they chose WikiOasis over Miraheze, and specifically inquiring about whether or not they were banned from Mira (they were not)
- Making comments in the Miraheze Discord server about how "oasis is basically like a not so great training academy [for mira volunteers] but it works."
- Taking it upon themselves to make statements on behalf of WikiOasis in semi-public spaces, such as "I do know so I can make the comment. But WO is in no position to host such a wiki. We have zero manpower."
- These are just a few that I recalled when writing this, but more have appeared through our interactions that have given me pause to support a request for global sysop if this is what they have done without any additional tools. All of these together, combined with no on-wiki experience anywhere that I am aware of and the extremely vague response to my question, concerns me. If elected, I would encourage Fearless to familiarize themselves with more of our inter-workings and ask frequent questions of the team before acting. -Globe (talk) 21:09, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
- I suspect the third one is partially my fault because I have expressed the thought that oasis for its much more informal structure and younger management can act as a sort of 'proving ground' to consider at Miraheze, but a not so great training academy is a poor way to phrase that and it is by no means anything official. I will concur the need to be far more careful in open statements, especially 2 and 4. 1 is a procedural quirk I assume has already been corrected. --raidarr (📡) 12:01, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
- Going to go with a
Weak support, I have had ok interactions with Fearless but I understand there have been some issues. Not sure I can comment too much, mostly because I'm the new kid on the block. Crystalite13 (talk) 21:26, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Sapphire Jack (Global Administrator)
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Withdrawn as said on WO Discord, and this request would not have passed due to canvassing, inexperience and have no interactions with the global community nor have any credible contributions in similar wikifarms (Miraheze). A few community members suggested the candidate to run for Global Patroller instead, and the candidate is encouraged to not canvass their vote, involve themselves in the global community by contributing or interacting with discussions, and learn how certain Global Roles work before creating a similar request in the future. Fearless (talk) 09:22, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
Hey, I’m Sapphire Jack, the owner of the largest wiki on this platform, the Italian Brainrot Wiki. I’d like to run for global administrator so I can gain perspective on how different wikis are managed and gain experience working with different moderation teams, as well as overall helping the platform grow as a whole. If you have any questions about me or my prior experiences, please let me know. Sapphire Jack (talk) 03:26, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Questions
- What do you currently do that requires Global Administrator capabilities?
- How do you feel the role of a Global Administrator fits in/complements existing local administration teams without so to speak "cramping their style"?
- (shamelessly stolen from raidarr) Do you believe you have made mistakes on this platform so far? If so, what did you do to improve from those mistakes? You could elaborate on just one if you like, or a couple.
- Global Administrators are responsible for wiki creations, how would you go about approaching the following requests, including additional action you may take following the acceptance/denial of each request?
- A well known troublemaker on the platform decides to request a new wiki, describing it as a new "uncensored encyclopedia on politics".
- A brand new user decides to request a wiki saying that they are going to "create their version of Wikipedia".
- A brand new user requests a wiki and fills the request form with racial slurs and abuse towards our staff members?
Best, --zippybonzo (c • ca) 06:14, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- I’m an experienced moderator, and would like to be able to help moderate other wikis, while ensuring everyone follows global policy. Also, on my current wiki, there is a frequent amount of users requiring to get globally locked for underage/breaking other global rules. I could deal with those global locks entirely, so other global admins/stewards could spend their energy elsewhere.
- Global admins try to help deal with major vandals, however, each wiki has its own structure, style, and way of running. Aside from enforcing global policies, we don’t need to interfere with that.
- I don’t believe I’ve made any mistakes on the platform so far, and after taking a poll, the users on my wiki agree that I’m the “Best owner ever.”
- For the first example, I would simply deny the request, no further action needed. For the second example, I would also deny the request: we don’t need a forked wikipedia. However, for the third example, I would not only deny the request, I would also Glock them and ask a Steward to run an alt check to see if they’re an alt of an existing vandal.

Weak support: ultimately I don't see a major difference between your credibility and that of the other GS/Stews. I think there's room here to coach and grow. The work on IBW — wrangling a fairly substantial number of misbehaving children without leaving it as someone else's problem — is definitely something in your favour, however I don't know whether GS is the way to go for this. I commend you throwing your hat into the ring. I implore to you that if this request does succeed that you take things slowly and learn how they work before doing anything drastic, but generally I don't have any significant concerns beyond the general lack of experience, although it's not incomparable to what already exists on the team, and I'd hope you could shape into a fairly active contributor globally with the right guidance, but I won't jump the gun there. Best, --zippybonzo (c • ca) 17:24, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
Oppose I'm not thrilled about them canvassing. They also show a lack of knowledge of what the duties of a global SYOSP are, which leaves me to oppose this request. I'd strongly advise the candidate to find other ways to help that don't require global rights; perhaps in the future they can be reconsidered. And coached on how to use the tools if they can show maturity in the future. I don't find them being an "admin of Italian brainrot" a sufficient reason to be a global admin, as there is way more to it than just being a local admin and other tools to learn how to use that a global admin has access to. Their reasoning is also not convincing enough as to why they need These tools, IMHO, --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 17:31, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
- Just so you know, I’m not just a moderator on the wiki, I’m the owner. I’ve been working with different stewards for quite some time now, and have been moderating for nearly a year now. Raidarr is a steward on miraheze, so he can fill you in on the details about his experience with me when the wiki was on miraheze. Sapphire Jack (talk) 21:29, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose here, while I applaud your efforts and acknowledge you've been helpful but I personally believe the GA toolset is too advanced for someone who has little presence outside their own wiki. I don't think simply having experience managing your own wiki makes you qualified for such a large hat. I would suggest trying to build a helpful presence such as on our Discord or here on meta. Crystalite13 (talk) 21:00, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
- This is not a voting comment but I will say that Sapphire Jack has a very thankless role with experience that is unique even among the current crew of global volunteers. It takes real effort to keep a community with heavy appeal to rambunctious children in order, and to do that actively. And Sapphire is at the top of that list, not just any moderator on the team. Now I address Sapphire directly. I think there is reasonable concern that a global role like this requires somewhat different skills from maintaining a single, although large community. These are things I'm sure you could learn and your second answer is very promising. I think people would be generally more comfortable with you as Global Patroller where you can be included in global affairs and get an idea how they work/prove that capability, and then expand to larger access. But relative to the current volunteers I don't think your competence is out of range for advancing straight to Global Administrator. Regardless what you get, I wish you the best of luck and I'm pleased you're looking into something new like this. --raidarr (📡) 22:19, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
I'm going to drop aSupport here. Your work handling the challenge that IBW can has been impressive and you've always seemed easy to work with.

Oppose for a few reasons. I've monitored a few discussions between stewards and the candidate and they seem to show a fundamental lack of understanding of what a global administrator does and what they should not do. I wasn't initially planning to fully oppose, however, the candidate has canvassed users to this discussion, which is far below what I expect of a GA. Globe (talk) 20:15, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and drop aJustarandomamerican (talk) 00:38, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Support. You have a clue and are not a jerk. This role isn't a big deal anyways, it doesn't include PII access or even global locks.

Weak oppose While I believe your work in keeping IBW from exploding is extremely respectable. I don't think you have enough interactions on meta here or have any credibility elsewhere I have observed, I would rather you be Global Patroller for a bit to learn how WikiOasis Global Enforcement works first before expanding, basically referencing Crystalite here.

Abstain The user in question, Sapphire Jack, is the "owner" of the wiki I most commonly edit in, hence I have some conflict of interest in this discussion. Nevertheless though, I do think he does have good intentions, however, again, good intentions isn't enough to get GA, which from what I can see is quite a senior role. Additionally, in the Italian Brainrot Wiki, he is mostly inactive outside of discussions regarding bureaucrats and relations with other wikis/the farm, and doesn't edit pages to much of a degree nor moderate outside of blocking people who insult him. Most of the administrative work is actually done by bureaucrats like me, to give an example, he haphazardly promoted a user called Cityngeon to the role of Bureaucrat, who changed the requirements of the vote, among other fishy actions (it otherwise wouldn't have passed by quite a margin), which I had to find and bring to attention to him. At the end of the day, though, he could be a somewhat decent candidate. --SPIRACY NOTCANON (talk) 07:12, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Withdrawn Globe (talk) 15:26, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
G'day, my name is Vwregewrrergrge, though you're welcome to call me VWR. I am a bureaucrat on the largest wiki on WikiOasis (Italian Brainrot Wiki), and a Miraheze contributor with experience across multiple wikis. I actively maintain and contribute to several wikis including the Prehistoric Wiki, the Minecraft Wiki, and the Mathematics Wiki. As it stands, WikiOasis currently has no global patrollers, and I believe that is a gap worth filling. I am volunteering for this role out of genuine concern for the safety and quality of the platform, and to properly support staff in keeping it safe. Underage users are a serious issue on WikiOasis, they return repeatedly despite being blocked, and having a dedicated global patroller reporting directly to staff would make handling these cases significantly easier. On average, a blocked underage user creates around 5 alt accounts, and I have experience detecting them through patterns in writing style, user page formatting, and also grammar. I take this application seriously and I hope it is received the same way, and I am not trying to act like a security guard, what is this nonsense, Ii anyone is willing to guide me through any responsibilities associated with the role, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. VWR (talk) 2:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose. You have solicited PII from suspected underage users. That is simply inappropriate, and this is a matter of public record. Justarandomamerican (talk) 14:57, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- I understand where you're coming from, I shouldn't have asked for that information and I won't do it again, I now know the right way to handle it. Sorry. Vwregewrrergrge (talk) 15:02, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
Strong oppose users should not be acting as vigilantes, especially not on the matter of child safety. They should report it to safety and not be soliciting their personal information through the platform. To be frank I am surprised that more action was not taken at the time of the incident, however this is definitely a no from me. --zippybonzo (c • ca) 15:01, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Understood, and I respect your concern, looking back I should have immediately reported it to staff rather than taking matters into my own hands, and I genuinely regret that. This role is exactly what would stop me from ever needing to do that again since I'd have the proper tools and authority to handle it the right way. There were some mistakes I have made, do not hate me for that. There are no Global patrollers. Vwregewrrergrge (talk) 15:04, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- The fact there are no global patrollers is not a reason to support your request. You have been acting as a vigilante against underage users, and then proceed to list that as a reason why you want the bit. You do not need the global patroller tools to make a safety report. --zippybonzo (c • ca) 15:06, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

DarkMatterMan4500 (Global Patroller)
Hi, I am DarkMatterMan4500 from Miraheze, and I want to apply for the Global Patrollers permission here on WikiOasis, based on my experiences from Miraheze, since I have been working hard on clearing away vandalism all across the wikifarm for the counter-vandalism team from said wikifarm. Now, I understand that some of you may have questions and concerns for me, and I'll do my best to answer them in the best way I can, so feel free to give your honest opinions without sugarcoating anything. I am fully aware that Global Patrollers can block users all across the WikiOasis wikis (regardless of where disruption is taking place), delete pages, revisions, and use the basic tools, but with limited options, something that I'm willing to take as a fellow editor. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 15:57, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Additionally after consulting Raidarr, the candidate has some issues that can be fixed (but no red flags) and 200 edits on Meta. This is what Raidarr said about DMM: "He has problems identifying and staying on the line and the overall approach, well, you can kind of tell by interacting long enough, that said he is one of the most determined watchers and catches things pretty much everyone in here wouldn't have time to look for, the act of patrolling he can do very well, knowing the line on pressing elevated buttons, always been an issue". I believe this person is fit for GP and the issues can be edged out in time. Fearless (talk) 10:20, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Fearless: I'm glad to hear that, especially from Raidarr indirectly. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 17:12, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
Strong support Always had good interactions for DMM, I have no doubt that they would put the tools to good use. --Crystalite13 (talk) (contribs)
