chaotic_idealism Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Ckey/BYOND Username: chaotic_idealism Position Being Applied For: Wiki Maintainer Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page? Yep. Past Experience/Knowledge: I can do general wiki editing, but I focus on adding mechanical information and correcting errors, whether factual or grammatical. I'm very good at spotting grammatical errors and rewriting awkward phrasing. Examples of Past Work: I used to work on the wiki for Baystation, when I used to play there. I can't find their wiki anymore; they must've taken it down; but I noticed some of the pages on your wiki are ones I worked on that have been moved over to Aurora because both servers use Baycode. Xenobiology, Guide to Food, and Guide to Hydroponics look particularly familiar, though much information has been added since I had my hands on them. Edited to add: You can see my contributions to the wiki on my contributions page. I've been busy! https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Chaotic_idealism Additional Comments: At the moment, since I'm new to Aurora, having joined within the past month, I won't be editing anything lore-related or adding any lore. I won't do anything lore-related until I've actually read all the existing lore. I might edit if there's a typo, but that's about it. It's going to be entirely mechanics for now. I was told to apply here so that I'd be able to edit the wiki without having to have each edit approved. Edited July 10, 2022 by chaotic_idealism
Burrito Justice Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 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.
