ToaMeiko - Bureaucrat/Administrator[edit source]
The following section is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. The result was passed
I haven't been extremely active in the editing aspect but do check back frequently on the community and monitor some vandalism and spam despite not being able to do much about it. I resigned my sysop and bureaucrat rights voluntarily when I went mostly inactive but since we don't have an active bureaucrat anymore I'd take up that responsibility again. I'm active in the Discord channel where most of our community lives these days so if anything is ever needed I'm readily available. --ToaMeiko (talk) 17:29, 27 May 2020 (UTC) Support

This site hasn't been very active lately, so I'm not quite sure if gaining admin is even possible at the current moment. Even though this site doesn't see the same levels of activity, I want to help it not be overun with vandalism. I try to look over the recent changes here when I can, but there isn't much use in reverting edits when vandals are not banned. I have experiance as admin on various LEGO Fandom wikis and have been a rollback/patroller here since 2015. Albus Potter (talk) 16:52, 18 May 2020 (UTC) Support

For almost two years I've been a system administrator for the Brickimedia wikis (because saying "Brickipedia + GBC + Meta that really should be closed by now but isn't" sounds just awkward), but my wiki experience goes well beyond that. I made my first edit on a wiki — pretty sure it was the English Wikipedia — over a decade (!) ago and for the past eight years I've been writing MediaWiki extensions and skins, which are used on various MediaWiki wikis out there. GlobalUserPage, the extension which allows you to have a single user page on a wiki farm, was originally written by me for ShoutWiki, but it's now used on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis! On Brickimedia I've contributed to the Refreshed skin, which is our current default skin, as well as fixed various software bugs ranging from simple typos to logic errors in actual program code. But I've also written a few reviews (and hope to do more of those in the future!), participated in policy discussions and most recently written a detailed write-up about the Fabuland theme. In addition to all that, I've also moved badly named files, deleted unused low-resolution files and blocked vandals and spambots — all of which require admin tools, to which I've had access as a sysadmin. Questions, comments, concerns, anything? Feel free to ask in the comments section below! --Jack Phoenix (talk) 03:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC) Support

My experience with wikis has been since February 19, 2012 which started out on the My LEGO Network Wiki(a), which is about 5 years (4 years and 9 months to be more exact). I've travelled across many smaller wikias during that time to learn about wiki markup, after getting interested from looking at the source code of pages. Over this time I have talked with other wiki members and started gaining insight of how a community works, and learning that collaboration is one of the most important keys. My main self-improvement started when I discovered LEGO CUUSOO Wiki (which is now LEGO Ideas Wiki) and although it is in the process of being closed and it no longer has much of a use in current times, it's helped me learn a lot, and one of the reasons how I came about here today. This was the first time where I was working on a wiki with over half a thousand articles, and have a decent amount of users to talk with and edit with. Discussions would happen, and we all learned how maintenance is truly important, along with communicating ideas (no pun intended!) of how bring a wiki a step forward. Although I have gained a lot of technical experience, I believe that I've also developed wiki experience along the way and would be able to assist as a role of an administrator and not just a system administrator at Brickipedia.

I've been contributing to this site for over four years now, making over 2,000 mainspace edits. I'm an active editor; Currently I'm a patroller (I have been since 2013), and in the past I was a QCG member as well as a chat moderator. I believe I have a good understanding of the policy and enough experience to be an administrator on this site. LCF (talk!) 20:39, 14 August 2016 (UTC) Support

(Putting this here because every time I make a request on Meta, it gets ignored.) I have been here for nearly 5 months and I am an admin here and on meta and I would like to be a global sysop so that I can take care of things like spam or things that have to be applied on all wikis such as mediawiki messages.

Soupperson1 - Admin (2)[edit source]
The following section is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. The result was Successful
I wasn't originally going to try again but a friend (who I'm not sure wants to be mentioned) convinced me to go for it. I'm #5 on the leaderboard (higher if my old account's points were merged) and the only "Outstanding Brickipedian" not to be an admin. I edit frequently (as you can see above) and I like to see myself as chief editor on the Friends, Elves, Disney Princess and Scooby Doo articles. I've wrote more reviews then any other user since joining media. I try to contribute frequently to the forum, comment on blogs, vote on votes, read reviews and I constantly check recent changes.

ToaMeiko - functionary[edit source]
ToaMeiko (Talk - Contribs - Block/rights logs - Logs) - (150 edits, 6,056 mainspace) |
I am requesting functionary rights because I have been active in preventing abuse on the wiki, most notably removing spam and blocking spam bots. Right now I hold global system administrator rights across Brickimedia which has given me all the same tools and access as functionary rights would, however I'd like to have the functionary flag anyways as CheckUsering spambots is technically not in the system administrator scope or responsibilities. Being a local functionary will assure that I'm not using my system administrator rights for more than they're intended for, and will also add some additional accountability and responsibility when using those tools, as I will be a local rights holder as opposed to a global rights holder.

I've been a part of the wiki for just over 2 years now, and have only recently started getting rights. I've been writing good quality news articles for us and have recently been editing articles with important information such as LEGO.com descriptions (among regular edits). I've been editing many articles to a good standard to be nominated for February's BOTM. I've also been identifying many spambots, and it would be a lot easier to be able to delete them myself than having to ask someone else to do so. I do have enough mainspace edits when combined with these edits (though I myself am not too sure how the user page count got so high :/), so I am qualified. After 2 years with the wiki I know how everything works and how we work as a community, so I do believe that I have the qualities that would make me a good administrator. I also believe that if I was granted administrator rights I'd be able to increase my abilities on the wiki with the extra tools that I would be given. Being granted administrator would only increase my ability to help and contribute to the wiki. BrikkyyTalk 04:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Support[edit source]
- I was surprised to see that your number of mainspace edits wasn't as high as I expected (I would have assumed around 2000 or something). That's not a problem, because as a user who contributes so constructively and regularly as you is proof that quality exists over quantity. Brikkyy is a positive member of the community who engages in all areas of the site and is attentive to current discussions and topics of interest going on in the community. Brikkyy is responsible and knowledgeable about the site and its various policies and its standards. I see him being a valuable asset to Brickipedia's team of administrators as he already shines as a valuable asset to the community as a whole. --ToaMeiko (talk) 04:38, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- I was surprised that you did this. Usually you can guess who will be next to post an RfA. Anyway, having talked to Brickkyy (and only just realised it has two y's) about it, I see no reason to not support. CJC95 (talk) 20:07, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- At this point, having an admin wiki will be redundant. :P Seriously, though, Brikkyy is a dedicated user, and I have viewed some situations in which he could have made good use of the rights. I don't have a concern about maturity at this point; I don't think he's had a single incident on Brickimedia. So.. yeah, can't see a reason why not to support.

- On the one hand, I don't think we need so many admins. On the other hand, who cares? If I really want less admins maybe I'll just remove my bit someday... I don't use it much any more. Ajraddatz (talk) 08:34, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Most of the current admins aren't remotely active so if we want to remove admin rights I suggest it's there's. Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3

* Does not meet minimum requirements (500 content namespace edits), closing NovaHawk 05:26, 7 January 2015 (UTC- Add his edits from Wikia to his edits here and he does meet requirements (580 content namespace edits total). His edits didn't transfer. --ToaMeiko (talk) 05:29, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'd personally like to see 500 main space edits, and more comments on community forums. Otherwise he's a great choice. Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3
- As Meiko said, I actually have 580 mainspace edits. Also, I don't cover much on the forums because my opinion has already been said and is shared by someone else. BrikkyyTalk 21:20, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- Community forums aren't a responsibility of an administrator. I don't comment on community forums either. He reads and comments on policy forums often enough though, which is all that matters as an administrator. --ToaMeiko (talk) 21:41, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

- What are community forums? :P --SCH 5.0 (talk) 01:11, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- But that's 580 between 2 years, which I personally don't think is enough for adminship. Maybe in a few months? @Meiko I know you don't/no admins comment on the community forums but you/they should/could at least try. :/ Soupperson1 Friends are Forever! <3
- We just lowered the restriction to 500 for a reason. When I put my request for administrator up I had just barely met the requirement (at the time 1000 total edits), and not nearly all of those would have been mainspace. Lower number of edits doesn't mean less experienced or less qualified. It's up to you though. --ToaMeiko (talk) 19:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
