Want

 * Pchart4mw? This could be cool for certain pages.
 * Editcount Added!

Want-not

 * Semantic Wiki/Semantic Forms Removed!
 * DataValues/DataValues Common/DataValues Geo/DataValues Interfaces/DataValues Validators

Will wait for any further comments plus a little extra time to get everything straight before pinging Gamepedia staff. Any extension we don't want or any extensions we have a fetish for? -Xbony2 (talk) 20:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * When would we use the chart one? --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 20:56, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Good question. A couple of mods are mathematical in function like RotaryCraft. -Xbony2 (talk) 21:08, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Anybody else want/not want Pchart4mw? I'm mostly proposing it to see what others think about it. -Xbony2 (talk) 14:10, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think it would harm anyone to add it, I'm just not sure when we'd even use it :P --  Satanic Santa F T B Wiki Admin 23:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Xbony2 for Administrator/Bureaucrat
The reason I'm applying for both is because my current group proposal has them combined.

I'm Xbony2. I've been on this wiki for a fairly long time- I registered on wiki.feed-the-beast.com on July 15th, 2014. This is my first edit (you can see my userpage has evolved much since then). I became mod maintainer and part of staff on October 28th, 2014. But I didn't really start editing seriously until January 2015; during that month, I made at least a couple edits every day, usually more. Wiki editing slowly became my "major hobby" over programming mods. I figured out how to markup pages and deal with translation, and became translation administrator after a vote that started on the 21st of April 2015 and ended on May 4th (a few days after my birthday. Cool, huh?) (Retep announced it on May 5th, but the user rights change on the 4th).

Since then, I've been wiking away. I've [arguable] become the most active editor ever on the Feed The Beast Wiki, and one of the top editors on Gamepedia in general (trivia: I own a Gamepedia shirt, Gamepedia mug, Hydra plushie and some other junk after Gamepedia gave free stuff to the top 100 editors based on wikipoints). I've created the Translation Restoration project, as well as overhauled how pages are marked up and marked up a very large amount of pages (likely the majority of them). I've documented a lot of mods, the newer ones including Immersive Engineering and Avaritia. I've done a lot of maintenance work too, G fixes, category restructures, cleaning up of articles, etc. I've welcomed and been generally friendly (in my somewhat humble opinion) to new users. I created the IP award.

I would like to have full administration/bureaucrat rights. If you don't know what this means or includes, look at Special:ListGroupRights. The bureaucrat group has the largest amount of responsibilities, excluding Curse. The mort important rights is that it allows me to modify groups, to block users, to change protections, to edit the interwiki, to edit all pages, to edit stuff in the MediaWiki namespace, to nuke and to modify many internal settings/filters. If given, I will not abuse these powers, as I believe I have not abused my current rights.

Retep told me all staffs' vote counts, not just administrators. This is pretty reasonable; a two-person vote would be a bit lame. Since my vote for translation administrator was over a period of about 2 weeks, this vote will close on February 28th.

Support

 * It took me more then an hour to right write this. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:01, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Mhhhh .... it seems to be a great responsibility (where I know about it less than the admins). But he does already many tasks about the entire wiki and I think he will do that all right, and will support/relieve SatanicSanta and Retep998. But as always with higher responsibilities, he must think 1 times more about his actions. And he has a "Gamepedia Mug" .... that's the right equipment for a bureaucrat, then he only needs coffee.
 * To be honest, I don't like coffee and have never used the Gamepedia mug for that. I've used it for soda and orange juice though. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:42, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Neutral/Abstain

 * No comment. Cblair91 (talk) 12:07, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * , I feel rights should be given on a "will use the permissions given" status. As bony doesn't do, and has a lack of showing, that the permissions given from sysop/crat will be used in an advantaged manner, I vote against.Cblair91 (talk) 12:17, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * To prevent confusion, Cblair's vote is considered neutral/abstrain. See the CurseVoice conversation below.

(Addressing this comment in a minute) -Xbony2 (talk) 12:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Cblair's point is that I do not need these rights. I disagree. I've had to request a large number of administrative/bureaucrative actions from Retep/Santa (usually the later), including edits to protected pages (especially Project:FTB Wiki Staff which took many requests to update, until thank god Santa removed the protection over that page), updates to user rights, and lastly (and most importantly) blocks. -Xbony2 (talk) 12:39, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
