Administrator Candidacy Questionnaire

Why would I be a good Administrator?

I know I'm not too well known, but I am an avid Wiki-er, wholly believe in the system, and have even created and administrated a small Wiki of my own. Unfortunately, I was not able to keep up hosting payments, and thus cannot show it, as it's been deleted, probably purged from their systems.

Either way, I know the system, I know the process, I even know a little about the software, both DF's and MediaWiki.

Special:Contributions/Aescula.
(As for knowledge of the DF system) User:Aescula

Public Q&A

Q: What was your wiki about, and what kinds of things did you do with it (besides contributing content and watching RC) that would make you good as an admin? Mason11987 11:57, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
A: It was an idea that I called "Wikiverse". It thought of it because I have a friend who delights in building worlds, designing races, and so forth, it was designed to allow people to write about and show any other world they would have liked, without having to also think of storylines and dialogue. In that one, I was a primary template-maker, and honestly had enough on my paws with all of the financial issues and technical issues I was having. However, I did learn a good amount about the MediaWiki software, and know how to do things such as identifying and banning spammers, and so forth, and even successfully fended off a troll attack before it could do lasting damage to the target's reputation.--Aescula 04:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Q: Great, thanks. Sounds similar to my experience, follup up: Did you have any work on using the wikipedia "qif" template or a similar type of template, or using parser functions? I think there is some opportunity here for organization in this wiki with infoboxes for items and world builder gens, or a lot of other things, and those are often really useful for that kind of work.

A: I remember building text boxes, similar to the ones that we have here for metals, stone, and workshops. Also, I'm one who, while not the most innovative, am very adaptive, and can usually come to understanding a language, like MediaWiki's, over a very small span, and then can work it as needed. --Aescula 23:22, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Support

SUPPORT: I stand in support of Aesc. I've known her for years, and I can vouch for her determination and, above all else, how much time she has on her hands. She'll make a good admin, because, if nothing else, she can always keep an eye on things. --Waladil 13:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
