Howdy. It is I, Tewahway (Te), humbly seeking the gilded seal of approval from the bigwig(s) of the wiki for the role of discussions moderator / rollbacker.
Why Do You Want These Rights?
Well, strictly speaking, I don't. What I want is for the world to live in harmony, where we can all hold hands while writing good pastas with our free hand.
Unfortunately, you and I both know that's not the world (wiki) we live in.
I believe that there's always work to do, and the administrative staff are stretched thin as it is. I'm trying to lighten the load. No one should come online and feel overwhelmed/stressed by the mountain of problems to solve. I'm dedicated to this community, and I already try to make it thrive as a common user.
More selfishly, I get a bit cheesed at people doing dumb shit (mainly in discussions) and not being able to do anything about it (other than cry to Cleric, Empy, or Billy.C). Not that I intend to act irrationally, or with any measure of bias. I pride myself on my objectivity and my ability to diffuse and prevent conflicts in discussions.
The Requirements (for rollbacker)
- Must have been active on the wiki for at least two (2) months: I've been a contributing member since September, so coming on seven (7) months.
- Must have at least 450 article edits OR at least 25 cases of reverted vandalism: My article edit count sits at just over 600 (627 as of me writing this), and I've reverted many cases of vandalism. I've not kept track, but I'd ballpark 30, on the low end.
- Must know the wiki naming conventions: My understanding is that it's basically APA. For example, my story Over The Moon is wrong, and I probably deserve to be lashed in front of the community for it (it'll be my first fix, I swear).
Why do you deserve this? You Think You're Hot Shizzle?
No, perhaps lukewarm shizzle though.
In the almost two months that Empy has been gone, I've endeavored to uphold the standards of the site, to the best of my capabilities. While there are no clear requirements for discussions moderator, I'll list what I believe are my credentials.
- I've undone plenty of vandalism/poor edits/bad faith edits.
- I've given users advice (in efforts to prevent low quality/rule breaking pages).
- Directed users to the workshop (in which I've also given fair and in-depth feedback), rules, and quality standards.
- Marked plenty of pastas for deletion (in obvious cases).
- Marked pastas for review in cases of uncertainty (plagiarism, blacklisted subjects, quality, OCs, etc).
- Edited M4R pages in attempts to bring them to QS, if/when possible (still a bit of a gray area for me).
I believe I've established commitment and care for this wiki, and the users. I operate under the belief that it's more prudent to prevent deletion-worthy pages than it is to simply delete them.
Despite having all the on paper requirements for admin (except the rollback position), I don't intend to push this hard and fast. I've never held any sort of moderator/administrative privileges on a wiki. I don't feel comfortable with having too much authority, as of yet, but I'm very comfortable in my qualifications and capabilities to perform as a rollbacker and/or discussions moderator.
Three reasons to 
Oppose -:
I'm no expert in terms of the fine line between what barely skirts QS, and what doesn't. I believe that's something that will simply come with time and experience.
You feel I'm far too loquacious.
You can't pronounce my name, and think it's stupid. Also, I mistitled one of my stories and advertised it in this application.
Three reasons to 
Support -:
You believe that I'll actually fulfill this role adequately.
You are convinced by my track record.
You find me charming, and downright irresistible.
Thank you for reading my application.

Support - I haven't been around in a while, but I have been keeping an eye on the recent changes lately since I noticed a worrying lack of active admins, and from what I've seen you seem like a good potential candidate for the position. If you're comfortable with it, of course. I'm aware you might have reservations at the moment. For the time being, I'd say rollback is a no-brainer. LOLSKELETONS (talk) 21:17, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the vote, Gigglebones. I'll do my best to uphold the wiki's standards and conventions. Guess I'll need to stir the pot and scrape the barrel to get more users to vote.

Support - You've got my vote, hands down, Te! Can't wait for you to be an official admin. User:MakRalston
- Thanks for the vote, Mak. I appreciate you putting your faith in me. I won't let the community down!

Support - This is the easiest decision I've made in my twenty years alive on this planet. You've got a great sense of humour, an unmatched ability to defuse situations and an almost bottomless amount of helpfulness. You've absolutely got my vote, friendo. ZugZuwang (talk) 19:31, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
- Haha, that's very sweet Zug. Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully I never find the bottom of my helpfulness...

Support - I see no reason why you shouldn't get this. Good luck!

Support - Well, I said I'd leave a message, and here it is. Not that it looks like I needed to. What is there to be said that hasn't been already? Not a whole lot, to be perfectly honest. Like everyone else, I have absolute confidence in your ability to fulfill this role (no pressure or anything). Just don't turn evil and I think everything will be fine.

- Don't worry bud, I don't plan to turn evil until I get bureaucrat at least. Thank you for your support.

Support - Sorry Te... that incorrect title is a deal breaker for me. Though, I suppose I can look past that in favor of your acitivity/consistency, your positive attitude, and you being an overall massive help for this Wiki ever since Empy stepped down. If you aren't qualified for Rollback, I don't know who is.
Custom signature? pfft, as if I were that creative (talk)
- I'll give myself another lashing session in the alley out back, over the title. Oddly enough, the scars so far have formed the word "The" with a capital T. At least it's not mid sentence. Thanks for the support Icy.

Support - Shoo in, like I said. I’ve got my hands full myself so having another rollbacker around to pick up the slack would be fantastic.William See (talk) 18:59, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
