{{archive ArrestoMomentum - I would like to request rollback rights on the Harry Potter Wiki because I have made almost 700 edits, all with very positive intensions. Nothing in my track record suggests that I am untrustworthy and I feel as though, although I am still quite new to the community, I have a lot to offer in the future. Thanks for your time and all the best. {{unsigned|ArrestoMomentum}}

ArrestoMomentumBot
Hello all, so I've had a chat with a few users around the Wiki, and they seemed to think that having another bot could be useful so, hence, I am here today to make an application for my bot to be granted a Bot Flag. There are a number of tasks that I would like to carry out in collaboration with Ironyak1 (having chatted to him, of course), including mostly clean-ups to make our Wiki look as professional as it deserves to be. This bot uses both Pywikibot and AutoWikiBrowser (although only Pywikibot if it is necessary).

Currently, my bot is in perfect working order over on the LOTR Wiki, and my experience over there can hopefully be carried over here. Once again, (if granted the Bot Flag) I will be working alongside Ironyak1, and we will actively communicate over who is doing which project (so that our bots do not clash).

Thanks everyone for your time,

 * Having spoken with ArrestoMomentum about various tasks from page formatting to category fixing to many other issues, there is plenty of work to justify having two bots doing clean up IMHO. It also helps to have another person with bot experience to bounce ideas off and figure out the best method to accomplish various tasks or special requests.

Hi guys, I am Harrypotterexpert101, and I am requesting to become an administrator for various reasons. One is, our of the 20 administrators, only 3 are considered active, a few are semi-active, and the rest are listed as inactive. So that leaves 3 administrators to do a ton of work while some of the admins haven't been on in 10 years! I believe I am the best for the job because:

1. I have administrative experience.

2. I know when to hand out blocks and bans, and know not to abuse them.

3. I am familiar with administrative tools and technology, and therefore there will be less accidents if you chose me rather then another person.

4. I am familiar with the editing tools and guidelines, and know how to catch vandalism and how to deal with it.

5. I am familiar with dealing with wiki problems, in the discussions or in the editing part of the wiki.

I hope you will take me into considerstion, and thank you for reading this. Cheers, Harrypotterexpert101

Harrypotterexpert101 already's been tasked the responsibility of having to manage the Phoenix Files Wiki - are we really sure he needs (and deserves) this too? --Magnus

 * Sorry, but you need an admin to hold a vote, but before then you'll want to get User:Seth Cooper and User:Starstuff to weigh in on this as they are the active bureaucrats. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 16:57, October 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * FYI Seth Cooper also gave me permission to come here and post. It is in my talk page. Here:[//harrypotter.wikia.com/User:Harrypotterexpert101 https://harrypotter.wikia.com/User:Harrypotterexpert101]

The Discussions need an admin. Why? Several reasons: Interaction between users and moderators will feel more real, more engaging and more exciting for the users, they're talking to an admin! One of those people who run the actual wiki! We (the mod team) seriously believe that having an admin managing the discussions would increase dedication to the wiki. Secondly, administrators have that yellow icon in the top left corner of their pfps, users will immediately notice that difference, once again making them think they're talking to someone that is important, that is more than a simple user/moderator. On another note, administrators have the ability to change categories, hide posts, give d/mod perms to users, etc. This will greatly facilitate the administration of the discussions, and remove some burdens from the current admins. Finally, I want to make it clear that I don't enjoy the way that the discussions are run, I believe that administrators should be more involved in the discussions than just seven posts between all of them. Seven! Between twenty admin (albeit some of them became inactive before the introduction of discussions). I believe that having an admin on our team (d/mods) would allow us to more closely connect and find ways together with the other admins to increase the quality, and rate of such quality posts on the discussions, AKA, the involvement of the editorial fanbase of this wiki onto the discussions (we already have some ideas on how we could work that out, in a way that wouldn't bother editors). These reasons and possible future projects and interactions with the wiki as a whole is why I propose that I be made an administrator of this wiki.

I agree CosmicChronos, the Mod team needs an admin, and I think you should get admin powers. --Dave 22:59, October 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi CosmicChronos - I really have nothing against there being an admin focused on discussions. While I periodically review the posts there, I rarely interact as most of the discussion seems unaware they are on a wiki that would answer their question with a simple search or are having personal favorite type talks (which is fine, but unrelated to the wiki as well). As Fandom has setup discussions as an almost completely separate product it would be nice to add a separate admin permissions system as well, but without such an option, granting full admin permissions seems to be the only way forward to help you improve that area.

 * Hello Cosmic chronos and respected Admins.
 * I would disagree on this request mainly because of the basis of request. First of, it is not admin's job to moderate d/b, It is Dmods job to do so. And Dmods here have special block user permission as well as granted to them by Staff Bert hall upon agreememt with admin Seth Copper. So everything that a mod could possibly need is with him. Moderator says that having the admin cloud(which appears on d/b) will make him look like an important person. which is not the purpose of an admin title. It would in a technical way be violation if admin rights.(to use it solely for the purpose of its powers). Moreover admin rights mean something and there are other users who have righteously earned that title, to truly be an admin.  Whereas moderator on the other hand has d/b on his priority and nothing else. A d/b centric admin is not what this discussion board truly needs. If we do a proper break down of what other rights will the moderator get if this promotion takes place then we will find nothing that will be truly helpful for d/b. The only additional powers that he will get will be that of a content moderator.Currently the mods don't report the on going activity to the admins. Admin activity doesn't mean that the admin has to be active on daily basis. It mean that the admin should be kept informed about the changes that take place on his d/b so that the admin can stay in touch with it. User:Reverb frost (talk)
