IN ENGLISH

Greetings, I would like to continue protecting and expanding this wiki to the best of my abilities. I have been made a sysop here for more than 4 times, first was a month trial, then a 3 month, a year and so forth. I would like to have permanent adminiship.
LITTLE BACKGROUND
When I joined this wiki, it only had few articles (around 150), of which 95% were mixed with English or other languages. When I became active and woke the wiki up, I

• created hundreds, thousands of articles
• localised all the templates and modules into local language.
• had came up with the idea of the need for this wiki to have its own wiki logo in its language. I requested it on meta by contacting @User:Goran tek-en who created it (and to whom the credit goes) and wiki logo is found here. Request was here.
• transformed the dull home UI (User Interface) into catchy and beautiful style to attract natives that the wiki is actually alive and kicking.
• created loads of automatic home templates that change each day with new content.
• translated the entire wiki alone into local as it was not yet translated.
• uploaded local media found in local areas of interest to the language.
• contacted Wikimedia technical team to add Tumbuka language to the list of wikis with Machine Translation. See here.

It is also important to note that I was not alone on the journey. I also had to seek help from User:Caro de Segeda who helped to create thousands of articles and hundreds of templates. User:CubanoBoi helped create alot of articles and customised maps, templates. Other users who played major roles include all other natives such as User:Anthonymunthali44 among others. On translatewiki, I had help from User:Amire80 who walked me through during the translating process, as well as @User:Ferien who had been correcting me in my earliest days.
So I would like to have permanent administrator rights in order to keep on protecting the wiki and fighting against vandalism, among other areas. If anyone contradicts with this, please comment below. Thank you. --Tumbuka Arch^★_★^★ 18:16, 31 Disembala 2024 (UTC)
