Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Request for Adminship/Emi

Administrator Candidacy Questionnaire

Why would I be a good Administrator?

So hi! My name is Emily.

I think perhaps the most important reason would be that I love Dwarf Fortress, and it's basically the only game I ever play anymore.

As for other reasons:

1. I am very familiar with the mediawiki software and wiki syntax.
2. I like doing rather tedious things, like complicated parser function templates, and things that generally just make a wiki easier to use and appear nicer.
3. I am a nice person -- most of the time.

Often times for testing purposes of the more tedious things it's necessary (or at the very least very helpful) to do some admin actions like page deletion. That definitely makes testing much easier. So I suppose my basic argument here is that there is a reason that the admin powers would be useful for me, I am knowledgeable about the wiki software, and this site isn't high-volume enough in terms of edits that any malicious admin actions on my part would go unnoticed. So I don't think there's much to worry about there. I am aware that this is a new account, but I'm hoping that there won't be as much of the silly bureaucracy that exists at enwiki here on this wiki -- afterall that's the reason I decided to join in on this wiki, enwiki's political stuff was really bugging me.

Now as for supporting evidence, there's not a whole lot on-wiki.

Supporting Evidence

• This is my Wikipedia userpage right here.
• I did a ton of work on the Article Version template.
• I also got involved in the discussion about how we'll be versioning pages, and several of my ideas seem to have worked their way in: like the more automatic av template, or the "dynamic redirects" that should make the whole process easier the next time a major version comes around.
