Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/2005-Fan

(administrator)
Hello, so on 's talk page, he suggested that I apply for temporary adminship since I've been involved in restoring many of the old, previously deleted video game-related guides. He predicts that I will ask for more, which he's correct about, as Halo 2 and Super Smash Brothers 64: Strategy Guide are guides that have not been restored yet, and I want to have a go at restoring them if this request passes so that I have more independence in restoring some of the older video game guides. Thank you! 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 20:03, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * for a temporary period (say 3 months). I know we normally don't do temp admin at Wikibooks, but in this case the user has been legitimately submitting undelete requests as part of the strategy guide policy, as you can see at WB:RFU. OK with this request as long as it is temporary. A delete-only role (such as eliminator which some projects have) would be ideal, but we don't have that here, and hence admin would be the next best choice.

 * Comment. People voting need to understand that there is no technical way to limit the rights and therefore access will be granted to all of them - e.g., to block users. When assessing the request you need to both consider whether it is appropriate for the purpose requested (deleting) but also whether you trust the requestor to hold, but not use, the other rights.

 * Is there a way to attach a condition to their adminship? Similar to limited adminship on meta, I was thinking of something like "if the user uses the rights for anything other than undeleting without justification, they risk being desysoped".

 * There isn't a specific policy on this. We could amend the policy, but it's probably fine to just document here if the request is granted and then it can be used to ask a Steward to remove the rights if abused. E.g., the closing of the request could say "any other admin may request a Steward to remove the rights immediately if they believe they are being misused".

 * I think there's enough support for this one - could you action it? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 12:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Per Leaderboard. I'm not sure if this helps since this is English Wikibooks, but 2005-Fan appears to have a solid track record on English Wikipedia. Also they've been working hard on restoring strategy guides here, and this measure would turn what is now a two person job into a one person job, saving contributor time and effort. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 20:38, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - per Leaderboard. Also User:2005-fan can you please create a userpage? SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 23:01, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Done, why did you need me to make it 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 16:35, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - I think it's just me who's quite into userpages, but having a local userpage tells who you are, and what sort of things you do here. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 07:23, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I've created a possible addition to policy at Administrators/Temporary administrators to allow for this, which I will try to have ratified. I really feel that temporary adminship should be given the support of policy before this is granted; but with a policy change I see no problem with this happening. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 11:22, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see proposal at Reading room/Proposals. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 11:46, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Per Leaderboard.--Jusjih (discuss • contribs) 23:39, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Excuse the duplicate permission request, but I'm requesting uploader permissions because there are several broken image links on the wiki game guides needing to be fixed. I think said it's ok to upload under fair use (recommended: under 800x400px?) 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 11:46, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * ✅ as there's a valid need. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 11:48, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
