This is a mischaracterization. The normal discussion posts have not been locked by the admins, and continue without any major disruptive influences. The posts that have been migrated over from the forums have been attempted to be resolved by admins, which necessarily requires locking them once a decision has been made, as part of standard procedure - so people stop arguing over them.

Revision as of 19:46, 4 October 2020
Please put nominations (including self-nominations) for special user rights below. Do so by using the following format. Please cut and paste the entirety of this format, and put it underneath the most recent nominee in the section. Where the format says "UserName", please ensure you change it to their actual user name.
Newt Strike
- The rationale for nominating this user is: Greetings everyone, I'm Newt Strike, a Global Discussions Moderator and a Community Councilor. I seek local Discussions Moderator rights here especially due to the fact that this wiki lacks active mod team. Because of migration from forum the Dboard now is pretty much messed up that's why I seek to help the Dboard and run it smoothly. I know I have like zero contributions on Tardis wiki but the fact that I'm a global mod should be enough that I'm trustworthy and able to run this Dboard. Hope everyone will support my nomination and I can be granted the rights to steer the Dboard in the right direction. Thank you.
Support
- Please outline the reasons you support this nomination below:
Oppose
- Why do you oppose this nomination?
Neutral
- Feeling lukewarm about this user? Tell us why.
Comments and concerns
- Do you have specific concerns about this user that are getting in the way of you making up your mind? Leave them here for the nominee to address. To the nominee: failure to respond to comments left here may weigh against you when it comes time to close the nomination.
- For those of us who stick to the wiki side of things and don't really know what "Discussions" is: this would give you control over the content on this page, correct? Right now, it doesn't seem very active, likely owing to the fact that (a) it's an off-season and (b) there are already tons of extremely active Doctor Who fan communities on Reddit, Discord, and elsewhere. Is there a real need for active moderation on this wiki's Discussions page? Additionally, would there be any way to limit your capacity for closing/moving threads in the wiki-related categories, ie "Inclusion debates" and "The Panopticon"? – N8 (☎/👁️) 15:52, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct that being a Dmod will give me access to that page. Also, according to me Discussion is pretty much active as compared to other Dboards I'm a part/mod of. And tbh- yes it needs help cuz things have gotten complicated cuz of migration where both editors and Dboard users are using them resulting in most of the posts being locked by the admins. I think I can help them share the load a bit. Plus I have talked to an admin about this who told me Dboard will be once again restored for fans and editors will shift to some other platform. This way I think there won't be any need of me to limit the posts being shifted to wiki related categories.

Adjustments may be made for special circumstances, but in general there will be at least a one week comment period.
