Truetech
Hi, I'm truetech. I am a user of all the wikimedia sites and I currently own and operate my own wiki website. I have good + knowledge of the wiki software. I am also currently working on a new skin. Starting from yesterday I will be contributing around 5 hours a day of my time to all wikimedia projects. Now I am wondering if I can be promoted to either a Bureaucrat or a Sysop (Bureaucrat would be nice ;)) I am requesting this not only because I have ALOT of spare time, but because this site has alot of broken redirects, bad formated pages, fixing up support page, ect and more. So I want to contribute. Thanks and Cheers! --' Truetech    (Talk)  '' 16:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment:
 * I would be against both sysop and bureaucrat in this case. Special:BrokenRedirects shows only one, and that's because it's just a link to en.wiki formatted like a redirect page. As for badly formatted pages, sysop tools are not required to edit and clean up pages. Also, I personally would like to see some more contributions here on mediawiki.org. Your third edit was requesting access on my talk page, and since then all you have made are user space contributions. Please edit more and do whatever cleanup you can on those pages that you claim need it, since very few pages are fully protected. -- Skiz zerz  16:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, Will do. Thanks for reviewing it. How many contributes till I can re post? --' Truetech    (Talk)  '' 16:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC) 16:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As many as you think are necessary, but keep in mind that not only do most of the sysops here have commit access to the mediawiki subversion, but we also already have over 30 of them, which is quite a large amount for a relatively small wiki. As such, you'll need to not only demonstrate your trustworthiness and knowledge of mediawiki's tools via contributions here, but also need to come up with a good, valid reason as to why we need another sysop. -- Skiz zerz  17:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Krimpet as temp. sysop

 * I've added Krimpet as a temporary sysop so she can correct her transwiki work. Expires 1 October 2008. Kylu 05:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Is temporary sysopship really necessary on such a small wiki? I've been away for a while; perhaps policies have changed, but I really think that adding the new "temporary" layer of bureaucracy to a wiki such as this can only be unhealthy. Krimpet, for one, is trustworthy enough to just have full sysopship, at any rate. -- Anon  Diss  10:01, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed on all accounts. -- Skiz zerz  15:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine. If there's no serious objections, we can leave it in place. Kylu 02:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well she hasn't really been active since 27th June..if she becomes more active again, then yup..make it permanent..if not, then I'll make sure it gets removed on October 1st...-- Cometstyles 04:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I can handle that just fine, thanks Comet. Kylu 19:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Slight update: Since Krimpet's got developer status now, she's entitled to the bit anyway. No removal will be needed. Kylu 03:20, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
