Trip over this triple trouble
I propose the following users gain the Editor role: (for his contributions to Gendustry, Career Bees, and Extra Trees),  (for his German translations and occasional other edits), and  (for his Russian translations and occasional other edits). All are at least somewhat competent and trustworthy. as Editor, you are not committing to anything but it is a recognition of you as a trusted and somewhat decent editor, and you gain a few rights that normal users do not have that may assist you in editing (see Special:ListGroupRights). The latter two should really join the Discord server. -Xbony2 (talk) 01:00, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Unable to access old account
I suppose I missed something in the transition to Curse/Twitch and now I'm not able to access my old FTB Wiki account,. It's tied to a different email that I also have control over, but which did not previously have a Twitch account (and now that it does, still does not have access to the old account info). I'm hoping to achieve one of the following, in order of hopefulness: I'm looking to make some edits but I wanted to retain my history and not post as trunksbomb + a bunch of numbers at the end of my name. Thanks in advance for whatever you're able to offer.
 * Regain access to the original Trunksbomb Wiki account
 * Or, move the edit history to this account, delete the old account, and rename this one to trunksbomb (ideally with a lowercase 't').
 * Hello, sorry that this is a few days late. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do myself, but I believe that if you file a report on the Gamepedia help desk you should get a response. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:21, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Results
I would say this passes, since it's 5-1. Retep may have valid concerns, but I think they more have to do with disagreements over the infobox than Canis' ability as an editor. -Xbony2 (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

3tusk's resignation from Editor, Translation Reviewer and other roles (if any) in FTB Wiki
I am not exactly sure which page this should go to, but I choose this one because it fits best.

It has been a quite long time since last time when I contributed to the Official FTB Wiki. Initially, I was thinking that one day I would regain some enthusiasm and be able to translate articles as often as I used to do, but as time goes by, I realize that the possibility is becoming smaller and smaller - I do not have second choice for real-life things, after all. Even my time spent on translation of Minecraft mods in general have decreased.

Further, I consider Fandom's acquisition of Gamepedia as a negative signal. I am not sure where the Official FTB Wiki will go, but I still worry about Fandom's and CurseMedia's current moves.

As such, I would like to resign from all my roles here. It was a very exciting and memorable experience to contribute here, but I think it is the time to put a period to this.

 * This is understandable; real life is important and stuff. We don't really remove the Editor role unless it's abused, so you will continue to keep it, but with no expectations of activity or anything. I don't know about the Fandom thing, I guess we'll see where that goes, but it is worth that noting that, even if worse comes to worse, FTB technically owns the copyright of the pages so we could pull out if we wanted (although that would be really bad). Please do stick around in the Discord though ^_^ -Xbony2 (talk) 21:01, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
