User:Arcane21
I am a MediaWiki code tester that has been quite active on this site testing extension compatibility and reporting bugs and other errors, as well as having provided some assistance to MediaWiki extension developers. My primary interest in becoming an administrator would be to remove spam and out of project scope pages, which I have frequently tagged for removal, since I have no tolerance for spam and other related nonsense, as it detracts from the purpose of the wiki and creates more work for the administration, so I wanted to be an administrator so that I might help assist with dealing with spam and other vandalism.
 * You do not have many local edits on this site, but otherwise this request seems OK.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:12, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Part of my contributions have been to extensions and skins. On my user page are links to extensions I added code or did bug testing to, and I also helped co develop a custom MediaWiki skin based on Vector. I don't have a lot of experience with Git or Subversion, so I have not made contributions in that capacity, but I have helped co-develop all the extensions and skins listed on my user page (either by doing bug testing or submitting code changes in a non Git/Subversion related manner). The rest of my edits are testing extensions and my reported findings for bugs and compatibility, though admittedly those aren't too many in number. If that is still insufficient for the purpose of considering me for elevated rights, I understand completely. Arcane21 (talk) 01:33, 7 September 2013 (UTC)Arcane21
