Forum:Rights request: Moderator (Joritochip)

 There is consensus to give the rights to Joritochip. &mdash; Mark Otaris (talk) 20:43, July 11, 2020 (UTC) Hello! I am joritochip (previously YouFoundJojo). This is my rights request for the Content Moderator and Discussions Moderator rights on the wiki.

About me
I am currently 15 years old residing in America (Mountain Time). Outside of editing on the wiki, my hobbies include programming and outdoor activities (like camping and hiking).

On the Roblox wiki
I have been editing on the Roblox Wikia since March 27, 2019. Here are some of the things I've accomplished/done since then:
 * Over 2,000 edits on my main account and 1,000 edits on my bot account.
 * Rollback rights just a few days after joining
 * Gained access to the Report channel on the Discord allowing me to report vandals and rule-breakers directly to wiki staff
 * Admin cookies in my first few weeks of editing
 * Super Editor on July 4, 2020 for significant contributions
 * Contributed to item infobox module by adding Premium discount argument
 * Provided resources for editors to assist in the creation of UGC articles
 * Created a script to write the base for UGC pages to be modified and published by editors
 * Created a Discord bot to list notable UGC items that are missing pages
 * Created a bot to automatically update sales and favorites for UGC items so that editors can focus on other things
 * Created the Timezone userbox which is being used on dozens of profiles
 * Assisted wiki staff in cleaning unused photos, videos, and other files from the wiki (on numerous occasions)
 * Participated in multiple discussions regarding notability policies and other wiki policies
 * Have never been warned on the Wiki for any reason
 * ... and more, see my list of contributions for a more detailed list of page contributions.

As you can see, I have made a lasting impact on the wiki through my edits and contributions.

On other wikis
My first experience editing on Fandom was on June 27, 2016. Here are the rights I have held in other wikis since then:
 * Moderator on the RoCitizens Wiki
 * Administrator on the Rovive Wiki
 * Founder/Bureaucrat on the MeepCity Wiki
 * Founder/Bureaucrat on the Yar Wiki

Although RoCitizens is the only wiki that is still active, they all taught me more about MediaWiki and wiki formatting as a whole. I designed the templates, page layouts, and wiki theme for the last three wikis listed on my own (with nominal amounts of code referenced from other wikis), which is a testament to my experience using MediaWiki.

Outside of Fandom
I have been playing Roblox since September of 2012. Here are some of the things I have done while on Roblox:
 * Learned to program in Lua (Roblox was my first programming experience)
 * Created a front page game, Flicker, with my friend.
 * Learned basic principles of user interface designing
 * Also learned how to apply these principles on Roblox

As you can see, these experiences have allowed me to learn a lot about the Roblox platform itself which will asisst me in ensuring content on the wiki is accurate and recent.

Regarding my activity
If any of you take the time to look into my contribution log, you'll notice that there are a couple large gaps. In mid-2019, I decided to step away from the wiki to focus more on Roblox game development. I returned for a short period in late-2019, and then left again for the same reason. However, with the outbreak of COVID-19 I have found myself with much more time to help contribute on the wiki. That being said, I have full intention of continuing with my current level of activity into the forseeable future, including after the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

I hope that these small gaps of inactivity do not sway your opinion, as my contributions and edits in the time that I have been active should be a testament to my dedication to the wiki.

Why request Moderator rights?
I am requesting moderator rights as I believe there is a small but increasing number of inactive or semi-inactive staff members on the wiki leaving many maintenance and management tasks not completed. Becoming a Moderator would allow me to ease the workload the currently active administrators have.

I also believe that, with rights, I can use my knowledge of Lua, MediaWiki, and wiki markup to improve the current templates and modules used across the wiki (which I cannot currently do due to most being protected). We have very few staff who know how to edit/create Lua modules, and even fewer (if any) who are not semi-inactive/inactive.

Conclusion
In conclusion, I ask that you look into my previous edits on the wiki and make a decision that you believe is best for the community as a whole. You can feel free to ask me additional questions about my credentials below.

Once you have all the information you need, please reply with a Support or Oppose template to show your opinion. Make sure to include a reason and additionally put a  tag under your reply to divide responses. Thank you :)

from me! You have shown you are extremely active and you improving the templates and modules on the wiki is one of the main reasons I support. It can be seen very clearly that you have what it takes to be a content and discussions moderator. Good luck! Michael (talk) 22:32, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

. The amount of work you have done for the wiki is amazing, especially with documenting catalog and UGC pages. We definitely need all hands on deck in terms of staffing, and I'd love for you to join us! Acebatonfan (talk) 22:33, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

. Full support from me! Jorito shown a lot in the community and we need more content discussion moderators even though the inactivity came pass he has came back full force he showed dedication to the wikia during his time. I'd love to see more content moderators coming on board. SupportTurtles (talk) 6:55 July, 7, 2020 (EST)

You are trusted by the admins and shown that you can be professional and you have also made a ton of edits. And for those reasons and multiple others that I probably forgot, you have my full support!MarmitaMorangona (talk) 23:05, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

In addition to your content contributions and help with maintenance, you have the right balance of skills to improve our templates. I see no issues with giving you these rights. Mark Otaris (talk) 23:09, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

From what I have seen, you seem like a good person. I think you would do well as being a Moderator. Anyone who gets anything from the Roblox Wikia means they can truly do it as a moderator. Keep it up with the good job!  Raz Mail (Message Wall &bull; Contribs) 11:46, July 8, 2020 (UTC)

Trusted, active editor and more than enough knowledge to help with back-end maintenance. BundleofYoy ✉Talk to me! 01:29, July 10, 2020 (UTC)

Main reasons have been stated by others. Jorito is trusted by all of the staff team, and has received numerous recognitions, including access to certain channels, super editor, etc. He has also shown us that he is extremely knowledgeable with certain core features of Fandom, as well as templates, which is useful knowledge to have on the team. ~Thunder (Page · Talk) 06:21, July 11, 2020 (UTC)
