Jimp ( talk · contribs) – You might notice that a fair proportion of my editing at WP is in the template namespace. I have created and or improved quite a few templates. My problem is that the templates I'm working on tend to get protected due to their ending up being used on hundreds or thousands of pages. This slows the process down significantly. I must resort to edit requests for the most minor fixes. This not only takes up a lot of my time but it takes up a lot of admin's time.
The template {{ convert}} is in constant need of work as we strive to keep up with the demands of this ever-expanding encyclopædia. Minor fixes are a routine thing (we've even got a talk subpage specifically for edit requests) but what we'd really benefit from is a major restructuring. It would be impractical to do this through edit requests. I would like to be granted admin tools so that I can contribute more usefully to the template space.
Now, I don't actually restrict my editing to the template space nor do I expect this to be the only place I apply the mop. In my six odd years here, amongst my roughly fourty thousand edits, I have also made contributions to the mainspace and the Wikipediaspace. I've reverted vandalism, split and merged articles, organised articles, brought articles in line with MoS guidelines, worked on the said guidlines, etc. I spend a good deal of time on talk pages discussing various issues. I expect my admin work, if granted adminship, to be similarly varied.
I feel I owe a debt of gratitude to the many admins who have helped me out with tasks an ordinary user cannot perform. If granted adminship, I'd like to repay the dedt by helping out others as I've been helped out. I've put in a number of edit requests; I'd like to take some up. I've put in a fair few speedy deletion requests; let me repay this debt too. I've brought various templates to TFD; let me try my hand at judging. I believe I am somewhat aware of the pros and cons of protection; let me help in the process. JIMp talk· cont 22:39, 7 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikipedia as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:
#switch
}}. The new version uses an array of subtemplates instead. The redesign allowed the template's usage to be expanded far beyond what it had been capable of up to that point. It also introduced various features such as input-sensitive rounding. I have been working on it ever since. The template now appears on hundreds of thousands of pages.Please keep discussion constructive and civil.
