Wiki creator

I've come back because Arcane says that the sysadmins are active again, and so I am willing to continue helping. I would like to be a wiki creator so that I can decrease the latency with wiki creation. With enough trusted creators, we could possibly cut latency down to only an hour. This is very important for getting people to join. Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 14:42, 21 July 2014 (BST)

I'm not against the idea of this really. I'd like either User:Southparkfan or User:Revi to chime in quickly however before I make my decision as a sysadmin. But so far; I'm going to say yes. John (talk) 14:48, 21 July 2014 (BST)

You just returned an hour ago - and as you were active in a period I wasn't, I don't know you. Besides that, I've got one question for you: are you familiar with Orain's ansible-playbook (on GitHub) and do you know how to edit it? Southparkfan (talk) 14:56, 21 July 2014 (BST)

On the topic of questions actually;

1) Do you use IRC? If so; could you please join #orain on freenode?

2) Do you know the best ways to contact the system administrators in case of a technical failure/emergency?

The above won't decide whether you get anything or not. They are purely informational for me. John (talk) 15:00, 21 July 2014 (BST)

I would like to see more activities from you (such as commenting on new wiki requests, etc). (I would like to repeat Southparkfan's question.) — Revi_Complaint? 15:13, 21 July 2014 (BST)

The playbook I could edit because I have experience using GitHub.

I haven't been using IRC, but I could use it if that is useful for discussing things here. It would be no problem.

If there were an emergency, I'd send emails to the sysadmins or the oversight address if relevant. If there's a phone number for really serious emergencies, I could use that. Lieutenant S., Geschichtsmeister des Lexipedium (talk) 15:14, 21 July 2014 (BST)

tech:User:John/Emails is a list of all mailaddresses. I don't know about a phone number. Southparkfan (talk) 15:16, 21 July 2014 (BST)

No phone numbers as we are just three people spread around and personal phones numbers are you know, iffy :). If you could be on IRC at times; it would be extremely helpful. I suppose I'll agree with SPF and Revi right. If you could become a bit more active and participate in any requests we might have, I see no reason not to grant you the rights shortly.
