Adoption:Habitica Wiki (DE)

Adoption requests →

What is your username?  Taldin

Please link to the wiki here: Habitica Wiki (DE)

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 14, but 4,149 on the English version of the Habitica Wiki (https://habitica.fandom.com/)

How many days/months have you been editing there?  On the main wiki (where I'm already an Admin) since June 2014.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it?  JaneyP, May 3 of 2018.

Any other information: This is mostly just a request to add me as an Admin for the German version of the Habitica Wiki. We're supposed to have our main admins (myself, LadyAlys, and cTheDragons) added to the list anytime one of our editors extends the wiki to an interlanguage version, but that hasn't been done consistently. We have some active users on the German side that need some changes to the menu, and while we do have a Community Central person embedded with our English main wiki, it'd be nice if one of us had the ability to adjust stuff directly.

Best regards,

 * Thanks very much for your service to the Habitica community! Unfortunately, ti doesn't automatically follow that if you've been a big help in the EN community on a topic that you will be a good fit for the community in another language.


 * Adoptions are customarily done on the basis of your edits at the wiki you're trying to adopt. That means your edits at the EN wiki wouldn't be relevant to the DE version of Habitica. That would leave you with 14 minor edits at the German wiki, most of which are in the template namespace You haven't really added to the content of the wiki at all, which is a requirement. Another requirement is that you have about a consecutive week's worth of edits, and you only edited for the period of 6-9 September — over a month ago.


 * You can (and really should) use the German process for adoptions if you'd like to make a second application. But as things stand, you don't qualify for adoption of this wiki. Heck, I don't even know from your edits whether you actually speak German — something the DE adoptions people will need to assess further.

Thanks for the reply! And mostly it'd be for editing the things (menus and such) that a normal user can't fix. Like I said, we used to have a policy that we'd add our admins whenever we created an interlanguage Wiki, we'd add our English admins, but that wasn't done for the German Wiki. I have one of the German-speaking folks as my reason for asking for this kind of access -- you can see from my edits here on the Community wiki that we were needing help with a .css sheet bug in a translated page, and that didn't require German language capabilities, but it did require going through a lengthy bug submission process to get resolved. And no, I do not speak German myself, but I have users who do. I s'pose I could get the fella who is a German Wiki contributor to apply, but he's not Wiki versed so I'd have to guide him through stuff, and it's easier to do a 1:1 compare and copy when you have admin access on both Wikias, which are supposed to be pseudo-mirrors of each other.

Kind regards,
