Worm That Turned (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)
I'm not the most active of administrators, but it seems this is the best place for me to seek feedback - I would appreciate any thoughts on any parts of my on-wiki work, be it administrative or not. Also, if anyone does have any questions or concerns, I'd be willing to discuss anything here too. Worm · (talk) 10:10, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- You don't seem to use the admin tools that often... Is it possible for you to explain why? Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 21:09, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Certainly. I only use the tools when I see a problem and I'm absolutely sure that using the toolbox is the only solution, having exhausted all other avenues first. Given that I don't "hang out" at the places where all the problems are reported, but instead wander over when I see a talkpage note or periodically read them when I'm bored, I don't see all that many occasions that the tools are urgently required. Once I see a situation when the tools are required, say a block, I spend time looking into the background of the case, checking other options, wondering if warnings would reach the same outcome before pressing the button. Often, this will mean that other administrators beat me to the button press.
- Overall, I like to think of myself as a normal editor who has access to the admin tools, but not an "administrator". I might go so far as to say I see myself as the template for "all editors over a low threshold should get the tools" - it would take the magic away from them. Worm · (talk) 07:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Do you think then that you have a significant need to use of the tools then if you do not perform the traditional admin duties like patrolling? Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 19:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Certainly not a significant need for the admin tools. I check deleted contributions as part of helping editors (be it OTRS, adoption etc) but it is something I'd get by without. As I say, they're there as a convenience for me. Worm · (talk) 15:03, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Hghyux (talk to me)(talk to others) 16:02, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
