•  Support Knowing Nux's experience and dedication to other (well, to all) Wikimedia projects I have no doubts about his candidature. --czupirek (talk) 12:13, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
•  Support per their answer below, I believe the user is trusted and is experienced in technical admin work, so hence will bring valuable contributions to Commons. I would appreciate a higher activity level, but it is not an opposing factor for me. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 12:33, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

•  Support Nux wrote the Pie chart module for Polish Wikipedia which was adopted by a dozen other language Wikpedias, and was especially useful as the WMF was slow to roll out there own graphing solutions. When an older and hackier pie chart template was replaced with this module on English Wikipedia, Nux was granted Template editor permissions (to edit highly transcluded pages) although he had not previously had the need. He has since done excellent work in maintaining the module. Bug reports are quickly responded to and the module remains portable across languages. Rjjiii (talk) 06:11, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

• So far I am not convinced; higher API limit is only a minor argument for granting admin privileges; also it seems you don't bring a lot of experience in the Commons-Namespace. --Isderion (talk) 23:40, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
•  Comment My initial comment would be that you don't seem particularly active at present. Your last 100 contributions were over a period of 5 months. I guess I'd expect that to have been over a matter of days. (maybe it's me) Herby ^{talk thyme} 06:46, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
•  Question, @Nux, thank you for nominating yourself for adminship. Can you expand on what you plan to do particularly if you become an admin in Commons? You have mentioned "fixing US maps", "higher API limits" and "process requests from the Polish community", which as mentioned above, these don't seem to be strong arguments for granting admin privileges. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 09:42, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

  Hi. Sorry for not being very specific.

  • First, I plan to fix problems with the interface due to changes in the standard thumbnail sizes, which are currently causing the upload form to malfunction. But also MediaWiki:WSM.css, MediaWiki:Gadget-scrollUpButton.js and more. For that, I will need interface administrator rights.
  • Then there are more than 2,100 pages to fix (most of them look like links). I assume some of the pages to change are protected, so I would need administrator rights to edit them. I already have a script for that, so it should be doable in a few hours (unless there are some unusual cases that require more work). I could start now, but it's easier and faster for me to do it in one go.
  • I'm also a tech contributor for Wiki Loves Monuments in Poland, so I might need to update templates quickly as the event approaches. I have adjusted the Polish WLM campaign in the past (I only have temporary rights for that at the moment). I also have my notes for next year's WLM (just to show you this is not a one-time thing). So rights to change the campaign and some templates is something I might need to update once a year based on community decisions and technical reqs. It's not frequent, but when needed, it may require quick changes.
  • I'm active on plwiki community channels, so Polish-speaking users would know how to reach me. Most other admins here who speak Polish are not very active on Wikipedia, so I think I could help fill that gap. I'm also a CheckUser and an admin on plwiki, and I would be the only CU from plwiki who is also an admin here on Commons.
  • I also plan to subscribe to the admin boards and help when I can. So maybe some technical stuff, maybe some quick file rename and stuff like that.
  • I will also go through Category:Commons protected edit requests for interface administrators. Upon brief examination I noticed some of the requests have no comments from admins. I have extensive experience with JS and CSS, so I should be able to handle most requests quickly.
  • I will also go through Category:Commons protected edit requests whenever I have more time, but my priorities will be JS and CSS.

  So as I hope you can see now, most of the activities I could do I just cannot do. Hence you would see more of my activity on Commons when I would get the rights needed to do the activities I honestly just like to do :) Nux (talk··dyskusja) 11:40, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

  Sorry, forgot to ping: @Tvpuppy, @Herbythyme, @Isderion. Hopefully above answers your questions and resolves reservations / doubts. Nux (talk··dyskusja) 11:43, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

•  Question @Nux: mind activating the opt-in for the XTools edit counter? I get that you're applying as tech admin; and as such, I think that you're bound to receive "emergency calls" for help (like a request for RevDel of private data or the like - I'm one such guy who's actively contacting admins spotted in RC when I see nefarious stuff). I'd like to see when it's the most likely to meet you online. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 15:45, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

  @Grand-Duc interesting, I think I never had this request. You can see that here: https://xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/pl.wikipedia.org/Nux?sections=year-counts|timecard. Thought that's not the only time you can find me on wikis. There are times when I prepare tools offline or not with edits (like today for example I'm doing a tool on Toolforge, which is only reading API, not doing edits).
