  • Applicants should show some evidence that they generally meet the guidelines outlined there, and have a demonstrated need for the right.
  • Please note that most templates are not protected and can be edited without this access.
  • If a template you frequently edit had its protection level recently changed, ask the protecting admin if lowering the protection level is an option.

Howdy. I'm an active participant over at WP:DYK, and recently ran in WP:AELECT but did not pass the threshold. Discussion centered around lack of experience on WP:AIV, an area I expressed interest in getting involved in. A decent part of my running for adminship was wanting to help with processing WP:DYK queues, which are template-protected. In my election discussion there were no concerns raised about my professionalism, content creation or reviewing competency, which are the primary things needed with processing DYK queues. I do not meet some of the standard template editor guidelines (e.g. sandbox/significant template edits, etc), but I also do not plan on using the role outside of DYK queue processing. Thanks for your consideration. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 16:46, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any active DYKers that you are working with often that could leave support here? — xaosflux Talk 19:14, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As someone who has worked with Darth Stabro in the past on DYK and is familiar with his work, I would support him getting the permission. He is a DYK regular and is familiar with the ins-and-outs of the project. Plus, we're short on hands, and more people being able to work with Queues is a plus in our eyes.
