==Request for System administratorship== | ==Request for System administratorship== | ||
Hello. I've been a Steward for around solid year. I've also been involved in the behind the scenes technical stuff such as Phorge/Phabricator and GitHub for a while, writing requests and pull requests. I have basic technical knowledge as described in [[Test Wiki:System administrators]]. I think having an extra system administrator would speed things along on Phabricator, along with ensuring that there's a backup when MacFan4000 is busy. Feel free to ask any questions.

:I'm sure you can become one someday. Right now, it's your track record here on Test Wiki people are worried about, because you haven't been on here for all that long. All of our Stewards have had months to years of history here before becoming stewards, and there are no current non-founder sysadmins. I'd even encourage you to apply in the medium to long term future. We could use your help, but the community does not think you should be one right now.

:::I became a steward on my third request. When I put out a call for system administrators, there were no candidates. I doubt there will be too many system administrators by the time you try again.

==Systemadminstrator... or steward?== | |||
When would one be willing to accept me as a system administrator? I would be extremely unhappy to have to work for many months, a year or more! And would I have to become a steward first? Or could I be nominated and elected directly as a system administrator! Actually, the work itself says something about someone! Not the duration of the work [[User:Justman10000|Justman10000]] ([[User talk:Justman10000|talk]]) 18:10, 8 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
:This is probably due to your account age, and please do not take this for granted, but your suitability to those high-trust roles (non-test roles) are what might concern me.

::Why? I mean, rejecting someone just because their account is ''too young''... Actions are what define one, not the duration of one's collaboration [[User:Justman10000|Justman10000]] ([[User talk:Justman10000|talk]]) 18:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
:::System administrators can shut down the wiki at any time they please. They can also make decisions such as amending [[TW:PP|the privacy policy]] or blocking entire IP addresses from even being able to access the site. For this reason, the community wants to see quality and quantity of contributions from prospective system administrators. The same goes for prospective members of any non-test role that can make major decisions, such as [[TW:AFA|AFAs]] and [[TW:Stewards|Stewards]].
