I nominate myself, User:DutyS12345, for admin. I want to edit site-wide CSS and JS because light mode sucks right now. DutyS12345 (talk) 01:27, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Questions

• Question — What are the strengths and weaknesses of the wiki as you see it? What does your ideal LoL wiki look like? — TehAnonymous <3 02:35, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

  The strengths of the wiki are the centralized data storage, a MoS that is adhered to, and the extensive information and detail for most pages (champion abilities and details, card details), which has gained the trust of most of the LoL player base. The weaknesses include the presentation of certain pages, the organization and links, and editor accessibility.
  The presentation of some pages are worse than in-game/in-client browsing for some functionality. Pages like LoR champions have detailed information, but do not offer a quick alt-tab reference. Deck building in LoR is not available on the wiki, which is fine (it's doable but might be slow), but the wiki currently doesn't offer deck-building recommendations or descriptive info more than credits, descriptive card text, and quotes. It's not always clear how to navigate from one page to another using links, which I believe can be improved with presentation/layout. Having a lot of lua templates and data templates is great for updating one place, but it makes it harder for new editors to contribute or maintain because they don't want to accidentally break something.
  My ideal LoL wiki is both the ultimate resource for theorycrafting strategies and builds by providing detailed information while at the same time offering people who have never played video games an insight into how the game works and learn what the game is. This doesn't mean offering builds that are meta, but helping people find things that work well together.

Support

1. Support — At first I was really hesistant, but you know what? What if we just skip the "being a moderator" step altogether. Duty is very resourceful and very handy with code (CSS, lua, even using the fandom API). Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think I've ever seen them mess up or do something unproductive once. I fully support this request for adminship. Tylobic (talk) 08:35, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
2. Support — I support your quest. NightfallWatcher (talk) 03:42, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
3. Support — Duty has great skills and, as shown by his answer above, a clear understanding of what a game wiki and especially this game wiki needs to achieve. Him becoming administrator would greatly help the wiki. The one thing I see as a shortcoming of Duty is his lack of a recognisable avatar icon on the wiki and discord; Presentation is important!

4. Support — Nothing to add that others haven't. Duty is a valuable and trustworthy member of the community. Inkybinky3 <3 - inkublu (talk) 12:06, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
5. Support — I support your request. Your skill with code is great and adminship will help you making the wiki better and future proof. Ninjamask (talk) 03:19, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
