Hey fellow editors! I'm BundleofYoy (you can call me yoy though). I am here to request for Content Moderator rights (or I can settle with Rollback) on the Roblox Wikia. This request may seem very premature for some reading this, as I am requesting for CM rights on this wiki not even a year after I signed up and started editing here. I actually agree with that and never had any intention for CM; however, since it's been suggested by some that I request for CM, I decided to give it a go. I was supposed to request this about a month or two ago, so this may be somewhat overdue (or too premature? Who knows). Also, if more people support me on having rb over CM, then I will be fine with that.

About me
I'm 17 and I live in the EST timezone. I have been playing Roblox for over 9 years (10 years this upcoming summer), and, although I don't closely follow these with the Hubble Telescope, I am somewhat aware of various Roblox events (new or old) and major incidents that have happened over the years on the site. I am also not an avid trader but I do know some basic terms that are used in the trading community.

Editing & Here on RW
As of initially writing this out, I have 2.8K edits on this wiki (on Wikipedia: 1K since I don't edit there often), been awarded with Super Cookies and am one of three users to have received Super Editor status, and I am well aware of basic MediaWiki usage and intermediate usage of WikiText (apart from anything related to tables; that is out of my comfort zone currently but I am practicing with it :P).

Currently, I try the best I can to update various articles (mostly catalog items) with basic information such as where it could be obtained (i.e. Gamecard or a Toy code), current sales and/or favorites, and the newly-created Template:Catalog history (to replace the older table). Also, I, if I know anything about the subject, try to help out anyone on the forums here, such as the proper way to report a Roblox issue or basic Roblox Studio building troubles.

I may also participate in WIKIOP when that gets set up and established a bit further; the ones that peak my interest the most are SOS and AQ.

Moderation history
I have not received a single warning (maybe a few reminders here and there), and I definitely know that I've never been blocked before; However, I will say that about 4-5 years ago, when I was in the prime of my immaturity, I did raid the One Direction Wikia with some other people and got my account indef. blocked by Wikia/Fandom. Never used Wikia again until last year when I made this account and started to seriously edit (I am way past vandalising and anything related to that).

Quarrels with other editors
For the most part, I've kept it clean with the other editors. I have unintentionally disappointed someone once on the forums here (would link to it but I can't find it currently; if someone can find it, can you link to it below? I will link it here if someone can find it for me + ROBLOX points for you :DD)

Why Content Mod? (Intentions with CM)
As far as I'm aware of, many of the current CMs are inactive or semi-active, and this wiki needs another active CM to ease some of the load for the current administrators here. I also have some basic knowledge of the tools that CMs use but have never used them on a larger scale such as this, so I will need some time to practice with the tools.

Also, because I'm usually online (usually avg. 17 hrs on the weekends/holidays and about 5 - 6 on school days) and have a very irregular sleeping schedule, I am (sometimes) willing to sacrifice my sleep and stay up later than usual to cover any small windows of time when most of the admins/CMs are asleep (only if needed to though) to keep the wiki in somewhat decent quality (but I do truly wish for this wiki to be in great quality).

I am well aware of and (somewhat) fully understand RW's policies and rules on both page creation and user conduct.

If not CM, then what about Rollback?
I think it's straightforward: Sometimes, multiple damaging edits take place and it would be much quicker to be able to rollback all at once rather than go through the edit history and find the last revision that wasn't vandalised and undo it (can be quite tedious).

Approaching future conflict
Even though this may rarely happen and it's technically not a CM's job to do so, if there's ever any conflict in the future, I will:
 * come to it with multiple viewpoints: Defender, Opposer, and Viewer/Spectator. They all have differing opinions and I will seek to fully understand all opinions equally to form my own judgment
 * stay as calm and neutral/unbiased as I possibly can before and while getting involved
 * ask an administrator (if none are lurking) to shut it down if things get out of hand quickly

Similar experience

 * Currently a Moderator for Typical Games (I moderate on games like Epic Minigames as well as the Discord server for TG)
 * Various moderation experience on Discord
 * Former Moderator for 2 Twitch streamers
 * Currently a CM on the (very dead) TG Wikia
 * I have co-lead a now-defunct clan/team on some other game that has died out (lasted for 5 months rip)

Questions?
If there's any additional questions that anyone wants to ask me, please comment them below. I'll try to answer them as detailed as I can!
