Nominations:

Bongolium500

 * The rationale for nominating this user is:

With The Power of the Doctor recently bringing countless new eyes to the wiki, I'd like to seize the opportunity to nominate Bongolium500 for adminship.

Since some of his earliest edits, patiently helping new users learn our rules in the absence of our welcome bot, Bongo50 has been noticing technical shortcomings on the wiki and going above and beyond to plug the holes. He's always lending a helping hand to editors new and old, whether it's designing complex new templates like and ; crafting new CSS themes to fix, among other things, our infoboxes and Spotify player; or laying the groundwork for the return of DPL Forums. When it was our wiki's turn to migrate to FandomDesktop, our admins turned to Bongo50 to get the job done. His commitment to the wiki has already been recognised with the prestigious "The Doctor's Golden TARDIS Key" award, awarded for editing every day for 365 days, which has been earned by only 14 others ever.

This wiki was built by technical admins, CzechOut chief among them, who designed our templates and themes to keep things running. However, most of these admins have naturally moved on to other priorities. Over my years and years on the wiki, Bongo50 is the first user I've seen who's taken the steps to help fill their shoes. But because of his user permissions, every fix and improvement he designs for (eg) or Tardis.css has had to be conveyed to an admin. If there's anyone we can trust with access to these tools, it's Bongo50. Let's make it official! – n8 (☎) 18:10, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Support

 * Please outline the reasons you support this nomination below:


 * I support Bongo's nomination as an admin, not only has he done some great job as an editor, but I really respect his technical work, and as someone who has been greatly looking forward to the return of the forums, I find all his help on that side commendable. I think he would be a good addition to the Tardis Wiki admin team, and could only help make this a better place. Liria10 ☎  18:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm definitely in support of Bongo's nomination for adminship. Their consistent presence on the Wiki has been an observable good and their care for long-term problems (e.g., forums and template designs) are both admirable traits for an editor and outright requirements for a Wiki Admin. I'm 100% down with this. NoNotTheMemes ☎  18:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm fully in support of this. I've already commented that I find his forays into SMW incredibly interesting, and I look forward to seeing what can be done in that area as we move into the new era of Doctor Who. Najawin ☎  19:39, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I wholeheartedly support Bongolium's nomination. His contributions to the wiki, both general and especially technical, have certainly improved it. Bongo also most definitely shows the editing and personal qualities for being an admin, and the admin rights would let him help better the wiki even more.

 * BONGOLIUM FOR ADMIN 2022/2023!!!... alright, but seriously, I support Bongo becoming an admin too because his work on the wiki is excellent, both in the public spaces and knowing where and how within the depths of the site all the css coding stuff works. It’s not easy to maintain a whole website, but Bongo proves that he knows his stuff and can manage it, and I think that an admin position will make it much easier for him to take action. —Danniesen ☎  23:04, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the nomination! I would happily take on the position of admin as it would make a lot of things that I already do, like making changes to css pages and protected templates (which are often protected for good reason) a lot easier. I know my main namespace edits aren't as plentiful as some users and admins, but I hope my more technical changes can make up for this. Bongo50  ☎  18:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
