ComradeRabbit95's Request for Administrator
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
- Closing as unsuccessful due to lack of votes and because the user no longer wishes to be affiliated with Polandball Wiki, for the millionth time. Agent Isai Talk to me! 08:51, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
User: ComradeRabbit95 (local contributions • CentralAuth • blocks log • local rights log •)
Reason(s) for request
I am requesting to become an administrator for Polandball Wiki. I am applying because the wiki has been somehow unmoderated recently, and the wiki could be vulnerable to vandalism and rule violations. I would moderate the wiki accordingly, to make sure that users follow its rules. I will also prevent vandals from damaging pages/creating spammy articles which don't comply with the wiki rules.

Support; there is a lack of proactive community admins and this user seems like he is responsible, well versed in the community, a good contributor and based on the wiki he operates, competent with the tools. While I can be contacted and am willing to act if there is vandalism or rule breakage reported to me or the Administrator's noticeboard, there's nothing wrong with another hand on deck especially as I was appointed to be a backup hand more than a front line admin. --Raidarr (talk) 19:16, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Shiningflair's Request for Bureaucrat
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
- This discussion was made during the TGC drama. Despite not getting the 13 votes required for a successful request for bureaucrat at that time, shiningflair did eventually become a bureaucrat. CastleFort1 (talk) 02:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
User: Shiningflair (local contributions • CentralAuth • blocks log • local rights log •)
Reason(s) for request
I am requesting to be a bureaucrat for the Polandball Wiki. I'm applying because I have been an active administrator here for the past eight months and I care about the quality and activity of the wiki. All the other bureaucrats except for Collisions and Agent are inactive and I believe that in order to keep the wiki in good shape, more active bureaucrats are needed here. Moderation must be stepped up within the higher ranks of the wiki and I intend to moderate accordingly as a bureaucrat.Shiningflair (talk) 16:29, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

- Support As a local bureaucrat, I strongly support this. Shiningflair has really helped the wiki pull through during our toughest times and with both me and Collisions being busy with other endeavors, I don't see an issue with this. She is nice and embodies what I want to see in an administrator. Agent Isai Talk to me! 16:33, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support - As a member of the PBW, I do trust and firmly support Shiningflair's request for bureaucrat. It is true that she cares for the community. She is open, honest, and listens to others. She is both active on the wiki and the discord. I have confidence that she'll provide unity to the community. CastleFort1 (talk) 16:38, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support - I definitely saw potential in Shiningflair's career as a staff member of both the wiki and the Discord. There are many reasons why I am a heavy supporter of her request for Bureaucrat. She is caring, welcoming, and friendly towards new and returning members, she is active in both the wiki and the Discord, especially in terms of moderation, and she has shown the capabilities of a high-ranked staff member on the PBW. As a close friend of her, I support this decision with pride, and I can almost guarantee that she will become a bureaucrat. RoboTheSkillIssue (talk) 16:46, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support - Shiningfalir is a great staff and a great person. She helps and takes cares of any problem she can see. She might be one of the reasons why PBWDS is still active. That's why I support Shiningflair to be a bureaucrat. I wish her luck! Trainjokerr (talk) 16:54, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support Shiningflair (or how I call her shine(on)) is (in my opinion) the most active, kind, calm staff I've ever seen in any server. She doesn't think her "job" is a joke and I do find pretty amazing on how she fits school and discord in one. She's also a very fun person to talk with and a very helpful contributer in the PBW and PBWDS. (she is also the third most active person on the PBWDS!) Shiningflair, shine on, I will always stay on your side! -Prussoc-Occì-Domine Prussoc1323 (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support I may not be active here, so I probably won't have as much as a say here, however, what I do know is that Shiningflair is both an authentic moderator who is both active in the wiki and also represents the will of the majority of reasonable people in Polandball Wiki. She is always online to make sure that nothing wrong happens in the wiki. It is due to these reasons that I shall cast my vote in favour of Shining's ascension to bureaucrat. User:Nguyenreich (talk) 10:29 AM, 8/17/2022 (UTC)
- Support She/He is nice to all users of polandball wiki, i hope this wiki would good for the luck Hyebun (talk) 02:09, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support A chill and nice admin, she helped contributing this very wiki with by adding up-to-date informations on certain articles. I too, also wish this wiki will have a bright future as well. Can't live without rice (Can't live without rice) 5:40, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support Perhaps I'm not very active here, but I'm just active enough to know how well this role would suit Shiningflair. She's been a significant contributor since the very beginning of this year, and clearly this community and its users are a priority to her. Since February, as a staff she's been very competent and good at stopping trouble and keeping peace on the wiki, and the same goes for the wiki's discord community. She's been an active user in this community since August 2021, I believe that Shiningflair would be a more than top-notch Bureaucrat. - Elixir (talk) 23:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Hurstbergn's Request for Administrator
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
- Hurstbergn has received the 7 votes needed for a successful request for administrator. As such, he has been promoted by shiningflair to the requested role. CastleFort1 (talk) 02:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
User: Hurstbergn (local contributions • CentralAuth • blocks log • local rights log •)
Reason(s) for request
I am requesting to be an administrator for the Polandball Wiki. I am applying because I have seen a significant drop in quality with wiki pages, and a lot of users that are breaking rules and are getting no consequences for their actions. I am an active, helpful, and dedicated to preserving a good quality level on Polandball Wiki, and I intend to keep those same principles and values if this request is accepted.

Strongest support Hurstbergn has my full support. Per above, they have a very active interest in the wiki. Having an administrator who plugs the gaps and catches the blind spots would bring great benefit. CastleFort1 (talk) 03:15, 9 March 2024 (UTC)- Support Like Castlefort1 said, Hurstbergn is experienced enough for such a high position, and has an active interest in the wiki. We could always do with another administrator to keep an eye on things. Clintonfan1999 (talk) 06:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Strongest support Polandball wiki needs more administrators to get the job done. He fits the goal for our staff bureaucracy.TheElectricBomb (talk) 16:45, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support We need more active administration here (although this wiki is smaller in activity than what it used to be), we need more quality control and better improvements on what can we do, and more communication with the staff team. Icantthinkofanamexd (talk) 06:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Weak support We definitely need more active staff. However, I don't know enough about them to give an informed opinion. Based on other opinions, they seem to fit, so I'll at least support them. Grim kim (talk) 17:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)- Support Hurstbergn seems enthusiastic and qualified to administrate. If the wiki's moderation team is considering admin recruitment, I support their bid. Subsequentliang (talk) 02:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support They are quite active, willing to cleanup this wiki, have made many edits and honestly the PBW needs more admins that are more active. Gherweb84 (talk) 16:12, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Icantthinkofanamexd's Request for Moderator
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
- Unfortunately, the role of moderator does not exist. However, considering the fact that Devint (Icantthinkofanamexd) wants to be re-promoted back to moderator, I have decided to grant the role of rollback to him, as it is roughly equivalent to wiki moderator. CastleFort1 (talk) 02:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
User: Icantthinkofanamexd (local contributions • CentralAuth • blocks log • local rights log •)
Reason(s) for request
I am requesting to be a moderator for the Polandball Wiki. I am applying because I was an active moderator for a short time until the wiki migrated back, as well as during 2021 shortly before the wiki's closure on Fandom. I also want to place new and more information in pages if possible, introduce some new ideas, as well as to improve grammar and consistency in pages.
Additional comments given by user (if any)
I am not going to be that active like back then and I apologize if my edits are inconsistent or unfinished/messy, since I want to improve my not-so-great mental health, and I have to also focus on school.

- Support Icantthinkofanamexd is a great editor, and I think he would relieve a substantial burden off of the other admins and mods regarding page quality.
Hurstbergn (talk) 22:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC) - Support They edit frequently and can be trusted. Plus, we're on a shortage of active staff members, so the more, the merrier! Grim kim (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Grim kim's Request for Rollback
- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
- The role of rollback has been granted. Though you didn't need to request it, as rollbacker is granted at administrator discretion. CastleFort1 (talk) 02:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
User: Grim kim (local contributions • CentralAuth • blocks log • local rights log •)
Reason(s) for request
Before Polandball Wiki moved from Miraheze to WikiTide, I was given the rollback right. However, the move did not preserve the user right, so I am asking if I can have it "back" (even though it was never taken from me).
Additional comments given by user (if any)
If this new Miraheze (remerged with WikiTide) does not have rollback as its own user right anymore, that's okay. Currently, I am not requesting any others.

- Support He has been watching over the wiki very well and always knows when to come to me when something needs to be dealt with. He is a good partner so I will approve of him getting rollback. TheElectricBomb (talk) 13:44, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

User: Gherweb84 (local contributions • CentralAuth • blocks log • local rights log •)
Reason(s) for request
I have made numerous helpful and relevant contributions to the page and have no malicious intentions. I am capable of using Mediawiki code.
Additional comments given by user (if any)
I'd request on the admin's noticeboard but it's so insanely inactive it would lead to nought.
