Chadas Wiki Maintainer application

[Chada1]

Ckey/BYOND Username: chada1
Position Being Applied For: (Wiki Maintainer, Lore Developer, Deputy Lore developer): Wiki Maintainer
Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page?: YESSSS, I had a big part in the wiki teams creation and stuff.
Past Experiences/Knowledge: Well, I was the wiki manager for 2 years, I worked extensively on the wiki, it's hard to find a page that doesn't have my name in the edit history, I've also been studying coding in my hiatus and maybe I'll be able to work up some CSS changes if we need them, there's not much else to say past this.
Examples of Past Work: If this is required, I will provide some, but like, most of the wiki was developed by me in some way. The modern frontpage, while not created by me, was an improvement of my former wiki page, the Aurora starmap was an improvement in the same way, as well. Much of my work has been improved upon, but I've set some basic examples.

Additional Comments: I have no desire to resume wiki management, I need to make this absolutely clear. I would like that to remain with whoever has it right now, so don't think of me joining as trying to take my position back either. I left the wiki team because I was stressed out from management and I don't want to repeat that.

I'd much prefer to remain as just a wiki team member. I'm not applying to take on tons of work, basically, but to help Aurora, and I know in NBT Auroras going to need all the help it can get in wiki maint.

Thats a easy +1 due to your past wiki contributions

[Triogenix]

Easy +1 due to past work and the ease of which you can be approached by any player wishing to point out things that need editing on the wiki.

[Burrito Justice]

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

[Zelmana]

+1 Good Wiki-er, no brainer.
If they stepped away from management due to management stress, this is the best role for them.

I think you're fit, but I'm worried about your recent behavior (specifically, how you're bordering the line of hostility in Marlon's app), your past brawls and your dramatic posts on the forums (your “I'm leaving you, Aurora” forum post). I don't know much of the context for whatever issues you had with other members, admittedly, but it is a concern.

Edit: Also thank you very much for the input/feedback!

The bordering the line of hostility is due to how Marlon was treated in their Deputy Unathi developer app which was incredibly unjustified, a large number of people there had no examples of problems with Marlon in the past (6 years of time on Staff), and the reason I was focused on getting examples from other people in the Marlon app and informing about Marlons contributions/history as a maintainer is exactly because of that.

Notice my responses to Marlons deputy Unathi dev app, and you will see they were muuuch different, a lot less focused, and overall much more friendly and less annoyed.

You will also notice that I took efforts to ensure that my responses remained friendly, so I was very much taking responsibility for myself.

As for me leaving Aurora, I left for a multitude of reasons, one of which is that I was mentally unhinged due to the effects of the Corona virus pandemic, this lead to one of the few 'Brawls' I've ever had with anyone in Aurora history, with @Coalf, whom I apologized to at the same time as leaving. When my head was cleared and I thought I'd be fine, I came back. This can't be expected to occur again, the year in question I had multiple family members die from the pandemic ontop of one of my aunts who had raised me going through liver failure and dying, that is an INCREDIBLY specific and extenuating circumstance for mental grief. All of this together, it'll be clear that it's actually amazing that I was as well put together as I was. In my time away and while grieving etc I also studied coding and directed the time I was spending on Aurora to developing an indie game but that's kinda unrelated.

I didn't want to reveal most of this to anyone so the best thing I could do is post saying that I was fine and thanking everyone for my time on the server and to apologize to the person I wronged, that's the whole story.

Minding all of this, two things you've said don't really make much sense.

• The 'I'm leaving you Aurora', post, is better understood as a 'Thank you, Aurora, please take care', if you take the time to read it (See it here).
• The mentioning of 'Brawls' in that way is very odd, considering I've had very few things that could be considered a 'Brawl' for the entire time I've been on the server, but there were afew, at least.

Just a light reminder this app is a thing -- My first idea for an addition to the wiki is the start of a beta job-guide page for the NBT, using the currently known jobs and changes.

Ideally that page would make the beta-phase easier to adjust to quicker for the playerbase, which would lead to them being capable of giving better feedback to the devs.

If it were effective, positive feedback loop all around.

[Burrito Justice]

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.
