I'm not a developer but I'm active in reverting vandalism and spam here. Sysop tools can help me in my work. Thankyou. -- CptViraj (📧) 17:39, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that you are a global rollbacker and I don't see a whole lot of deleted contributions from you. Is there anything in particular in the sysop toolkit that would be very useful for the work you're doing? --Skiz zerz 20:06, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With sysop tools I can ban spammers and vandals quickly. And I want to help out at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. -- CptViraj (📧) 00:48, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm going to leave this request open for a week or two so that others can find it and give their input if they wish. If it's been a while and I haven't looped back around to this, it's likely because I forgot so feel free to poke me or another bureaucrat :) --Skiz zerz 05:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mediawiki is not like any other content wiki, it is specifically for developers. There is really no emergency, if there were, Global sysops and Stewards can handle them since they can act here. Spammers is not really an issue here, we have active abuse filters which disallow them from spamming. Category:Candidates for speedy deletion are usually handled pretty quickly because administrators like Clump are active here. We have too many administrators who do maintainance work here, for a small wiki. I'd rather not have more local administrators on this wiki who do "only" maintainance related tasks. They should at least basic knowledge of Mediawiki, engage with this wiki's community, help out at Project:Current issues or Project:Support desk, and translate documentations. There are plenty of admin works besides reverting vandalism and banning spammers. In which, unfortunately CptViraj has not shown interest yet. He is trusted but I don't really see a need for his tools. He has about 100 edits here, which implies that he is not much active here. So Oppose.
