Burrito Justice

Hello and thank you for applying. So far many of your edits have been along the lines of adding relevant categories and navboxes to pages that were never given them, and this is good because it's pretty arduous work that not many people are thrilled about wanting to do, least not on a grand scale checking every page like you have. Good job! Time spent on the server, I feel, doesn't have too much bearing on whether or not you should be on the team, so no need to worry much about that; as long as you feel committed to moderating the wiki and issuing corrections/creating content for users to reference to aid the overall server experience, then that's good enough for me. So anyways this is accepted. You'll be DM'd in the future.

Hello and thank you for applying. Sorry for not getting to this sooner. Baystation moved from Mediawiki to Wiki.js to my knowledge, and is sorta kinda cobbled into it's new website if you were wondering. Mixed reactions from me about that, but that's besides the point. Regarding some of the pages you worked on, it's true: I personally did nab a part (or all of it I can't remember) of Bay's hydro wiki article because I was lazy and the page looked good and correct for Aurora. Good job, by the way! And on that note, I have been keeping an eye on your recent edits to Aurora's wiki in the mod queue and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that you know how the tables work and have been making large edits to them. Really, not many people know how they work, so having you on to help moderate/contribute to those sorts of pages would be pretty nice. As for lore pages, it's important to keep in mind that lore maintainers have authority over them and practically any change to them needs permission from the lore writers first and foremost; grammatical corrections and better punctuation are fine, but changing the wording needs permission. Just something to know. All this considered, I'd like to see your talents on the team. This app has my approval.

Firstly, my apologies for not getting to this application sooner. I had said I would give it a look earlier (exactly one month ago, in fact. good grief) and somehow didn't. My bad. Secondly, as mentioned by Chada, there's not exactly a set time you're expected to contribute to the wiki for: if you joined the team to make one edit and leave then I'd think that would be weird but it's not really any skin off of my back, and that's not what you're applying for anyway, so all good there. And I can jive with the part about just being given the ability to contribute to the wiki without needing a maintainer's permission, heck that's why I signed up the first and second time, even. Anyways, I have no problems with this application and look forward to seeing you on the team. This has my approval.

In spite of my earlier support, I'll have to rescind my approval given that you're still unable to access the wiki with your account, and I'd hate to see this sit here and wallow for eternity, among other reasons that can be explained in DMs. Nonetheless, thank you for applying, and I'm sorry it turned out like this.

The fact that the wiki doesn't work for you after selecting an appearance is really unfortunate, @Arrow768 will probably have to take a look at it and help you out there. Other than that, I'd like to see your skills on the team, so +1.

I've spoken to administration and this all appears clear on my end. You've got my +1 now.

Regrettably - in spite of my prior approval -, this app must be denied. The reasons will be provided in DMs upon request. Though you won't be on the wiki team you are still free to edit the wiki and contribute to the community's resource of information. Thank you for your application and your consideration.

Hello and thank you for signing up for wiki work. As stated on other apps there is a 24 hour waiting process for others to weigh in with their two cents before a call can be made. Nonetheless, just a couple questions: Would you mind linking to pages that you've worked on in the past? I'm curious to see where you like to focus your efforts. With that in mind, what parts of wiki maintenance do you feel you are strongest in? Lastly - and I really don't mean to be rude, nor am I saying this app is already dead in the water before it's been given a fair shake - but a quick glance at your forum activity reveals a sort of interesting history. Obviously mistakes are made, some more egregious than others, but I'd appreciate input from others who have interacted with you previously before the call is made to make sure there's no trouble once all is said and done.

Trio's already on the team so this can go into archives.

Thank you for taking the time to submit an application. As always, inexperience doesn't reduce the potential to get your app accepted. What I'm really looking for in applications is a willingness to help contribute to the community's resource of information, and you show that in this app, so here's my +1. Apps are up for 24 hours before a call can be made. Unless there are any glaring/unaddressed issues presented by others who wish to point something out, this is going into approvals after a day.

The other wikis disappearing - along with your work - is a bit disheartening. But experience or no, I don't see why you shouldn't be on the team, so here's my +1. Apps sit for a minimum of 24 hours before a call can be made. I may as well ask though: why do you want to be on the team? What area of the wiki would you like to focus on, if any?

As a note to everyone, inexperience neither disqualifies nor dims your chances of getting on the wiki team. Unless there's something UNIGNORABLY AWFUL (or otherwise important) to say on this app, I don't see any reason to keep this waiting any longer than it should. EDIT: In spite of this, apps have to wait 24 hours before a call can be made. Oof! I'll give it 3 hours or so for input, otherwise I'm stamping it with my approval anyway.

So hey, apparently I've been made the new wiki lead. Funky how that works. And in spite of a nearly four year gap between this post and the original, Aurora's need for wiki maintainers remains true: the wiki still needs work and touching up in a lot of areas - especially for new content that hasn't had a page made yet - and the upcoming NBT is going to exacerbate this to another level in some regards. Thus we're going to need all the help we can get! Your work will mostly be the following: Cleaning up and updating any obviously old/incorrect pages and headings. Updating pictures and other media, mostly in the form of sprites. Creating new pages for important content that doesn't already have it. Creating, updating, or expanding upon guides for gameplay mechanics, jobs, and other stuff. Consolidating bits of information spread around the wiki into the relevant sections so that info isn't scattered all about. Moderating and approving/denying edits made by non-maintainers, according to the edit's accuracy and adherence to standards and legibility. All of the above can be done at your leisure; there aren't really any deadlines and I won't be breathing down your neck for something to be done. A lot of the stuff you'll be focusing on will probably come about from the community pointing out incorrect info or ugly formatting on pages that they've stumbled across. Lastly, if contributing to the wiki is something you want to do but have no clue how formatting, standardization, or how the general workflow of wiki work goes, I will teach you all of that. It's a lot simpler than you may think. Looking forward to seeing your application! Edit: In addition to becoming a maintainer, you get access to the staff discord where more important decisions are made and you're even given a pink name! WHOA!!!

For the record, this app's basically approved. Just gotta get the green light from a few people and you'll be in! App's approved, Chada's in. Send 'er to the archives.

Chada is a necessary addition to any wiki team and I really want them on it so +1. Get in here already

Hello, smoldering burrito here, late to Omi's first application but in time to blast root for them them in this one: Omi is a big silly person with big silly characters with a big silly way of typing, and by that I mean their writing ability and understanding of the English language far exceeds anyone else's capabilities in my circle of friends, therefore I can say that despite their recent arrival to this server, their roleplaying ability should not be discounted; they really read into what they're interested in, and I'm glad that IPCs caught their eye. I've seen Omi grow good characters, and I'm glad to say that I had the pleasure to take part in their growth, because they're fun to be around. I wanna see 'em beep. +1

Though I don't plan to play them in their current state, I don't believe they're a character that couldn't exist on the Aurora. They could, for instance, pay a visit to one of Nanotrasen's finest research stations in Tau Ceti for some PR and maybe sign some autographs. Who knows, maybe they hand out scraps of wreckage from their own craft to fans. Beyond visiting, however, I don't think finding a job on the Aurora that matches the pay of racing would be believable. If you strictly wish for a character that works on the Aurora daily, then perhaps they retired their racing career. Exploding on the race track all the time is fun to watch, but up until Xanadu's retirement it had probably become old hat, thus they were sold off to Hephaestus to contract out for supply work/mining, and happened to be thrown onto the Aurora, where they can safely recount the tales of their racing infamy and never be allowed anywhere near the controls to a vehicle ever again. If this still isn't what you're looking for then I'll draft up a character that is strictly a station character with a not-so-fame-and-fortune origin. Self preservation is indeed an IPC's top priority, and that fact may have escaped me when I wrote Xanadu. Regardless, Asoral racing is known to be white knuckle dangerous and borderline lethal, especially in the orbital league populated exclusively by IPCs, circumvented only partially by the safety measures installed on the racer's craft, which are renowned to be very good at what they're designed to do. Given that some of the danger ranges from dense asteroid fields to straight up laser cannons firing at racers, crashing intentionally is probably leagues safer than encountering any of the obstacles on a race track. I'd argue that Xanadu's faith in these safety systems aren't misplaced.

BYOND Key: Burrito Justice (burritojustice) Character Names: Jayda Wilson, Anna Hashemi, Ayla Hawker, Alice Hoang (dang I got a lotta names that start with A) Species you are applying to play: IPC Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: As many as I could. Why do you wish to play this specific race: I've always thought robots and the concept of artificial intelligence (with varying levels of the aforementioned intelligence) was cool and think that, despite many perceiving it as just "metal human that talks funny", there's plenty of room to spin unique gimmicks that I don't think can be satisfactorily accomplished with other species, or at least humans. The current lore implemented for them and the aesthetic that they possess is appealing to me; I think all of the types of chassis mentioned are cool as heck, and their backgrounds provide better groundwork for creating a character. I feel that the potential for apparent character growth is greater for IPCs, or at least easier to witness, given the lore outlined on how a positronic can learn. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Though all IPCs are humanoid and mimic human behavior, there are many areas that separate an artificial life from a human one. Humans feel, IPCs might not: it's certainly left in the air about whether or not an IPC can truly feel anything later in life, but when it comes down to it, an IPC could care less about emotions, the feelings of others, or even consequences that don't involve itself as long as it can deduce that it is safe from harm. What also differentiates humans from IPCs is that IPCs are purpose-built to be mobile, autonomous tools: they are programmed and released into an occupation and they are expected to work in that occupation - if they don't, they get recycled, or in the case of being a free IPC, will suffer rather obvious consequences for seeking work that they don't know anything about, if they even get that far. A human, while obviously not ready to work right off of the press, more or less has a choice in what field of work they desire to learn and operate in. The last example I'll give is that machines are somewhat unanimously given little to no rights on the basis that they are not viewed as sentient: IPCs are sapient, and they are capable of solving problems, holding a conversation, and even simulating emotions later in life whilst they function in society, behaving like a human would. Sadly for them, this does not change the fact that they are only seen as over-glorified tools by most of the Orion Spur's inhabitants (unless you're from Dominia or are Skrell, then they're Space Satan), with the exception of the Republic of Biesel, which has seen greater-than-average attempts at granting IPCs rights within their space. Character Name: Xanadu Please provide a short backstory for this character: Xanadu is a Hephaestus G1 industrial frame belonging to the Killswitch team of the Asoral Racing Network. Before their time in the racing league, they were tasked with operating aircraft on the planet of Crosk to transport raw mining material from dig sites to refineries over long distances. This was easily accomplished with a VTOL tiltrotor, capable of vertical takeoff and high speeds afforded by the plane-like design. Xanadu's statistical lack of accidents earned them an offer from Killswitch to race for them, which Xanadu gladly accepted, being bought from the previous transportation company and transferring ownership to the racing team. Xanadu's training in orbital racing went off without a hitch, and they were inducted into the team without much to note. Other than that their skills were about average of what one could expect of a new member of the team. Perhaps the strangest thing, however, is that immediately after Xanadu's transition from practice to career racing, they have consistently earned a DNF on the leaderboards as a result of wrecking their spacecraft in inexplicable and outright bizarre ways, with only a handful of finishes towards the bottom-most positions, and even then, with their craft in terrible disrepair. The odd part is that most of these crashes have rarely been attributed to user error; lady luck simply does not shine favorably on the poor G1. One would think that after three back-to-back wrecks while racing they would be sold off of the team, but as it turns out, the comedic and entertaining nature of Xanadu's crashes have actually attracted a cult following that tune in specifically to watch them wreck. This period of unique crashes and wrecks suffered a brief intermission where Xanadu would attempt to crash on purpose, but would instead come out completely fine, in an average leaderboard position, thinning out their fans until the G1 went back to unintentionally crashing. Understandably, every craft they pilot is christened with a name related to bad luck. What do you like about this character? The thing I like most is that their backstory is silly, and is by and large a character flaw, which is not something I usually put much thought into. I think playing a character that is both in a somewhat revered position while also being basically trapped at the bottom rung of that position - at least in this context - is fun, especially with an IPC who's whole response to their own situation is "Darn." I also think their sturdy qualities as an industrial frame make them a good fit for this particular character quirk. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Sub-par, in my opinion, at least on Aurora. I've found that I haven't really been roleplaying as much as I could, and end up just opting to respond via speech rather than taking the opportunity to provide a greater response through words and actions. I imagine playing something slow like an industrial frame will perhaps change this, but I also don't exactly plan to play Xanadu on station - they have no reason to visit the Aurora anyway. Notes: im monky

Definitely longer than last time, if all goes well. Back then I was mostly just on the team to exercise my abilities as a wiki maintainer and maybe help a server lacking in maintainers out a bit without actually being that involved with the community other than taking suggestions from users on how to improve pages. I left because I had deemed most of what I wanted to change/update complete, and I had thought Chada had a handle on the rest of it. Now I'm actually planning to stick around. I of course don't know for how long exactly, but I'm trying to get a little more involved with the server and its lore, and I can see this helping to extend my stay. If anything, I at least want to be around when NBT comes to be so that I can tackle updating everything on the wiki related to it.

IT'S ME, I'M BACK Ckey/BYOND Username: Burrito Justice (burritojustice) Position Being Applied For: Wiki Maintainer Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page? Yes Past Experiences/Knowledge: Already been on the team before, mostly joined back then to fix a number of pages that were outdated/ugly/supreme yucky status. Now I'm back to... do the exact same thing! Except now I don't have to submit changes to be approved by someone else! Anyway, I took a break from maintaining wikis after I left so I've probably forgotten a few tricks of the trade, but I'm sure this won't be an issue. Examples of Past Work: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Guide_to_Medicine - Most of this https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Uplink - Setup the groundwork for this and added all of the uplink items at the time https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Guide_to_Hydroponics - Revamped this. Gotta update it now though https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Guide_to_EVA - This, as well as a guide to voidsuits and hardsuits. Glad to see they've been kept up to date! https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Job_Guides - Most of the meme descriptions here. Additional Comments: Currently my eyes are on fixing the chemistry wiki because wow it's still icky even though I was trying to find ways to fix it last time.

-1 so you'll play Ryliab more In all seriousness, Elliot's a good lad and fun to roleplay around with. I'm curious about how they'll pull this off, as it's quite a different backstory and character all together. So, y'know, +1 and all that.

Yeeeeeees give this silly person a squid whitelist! They're a blast to roleplay with and are totally down to earth with everything, an aspiring skrell chef character can only mean good things if Eliana's playing as them.

Provided the Moderation extension is installed and we do get something similar to pull requests, I'm entirely open to the idea, and wouldn't mind rolling around edit requests and approving changes to the wiki.
