Stewards/Elections 2026/Statements/DreamRimmer

Hey everyone, I am DreamRimmer. I created my account in April 2021 and have been editing actively since March 2023. I currently serve as an admin and interface admin on Meta-Wiki and a temporary admin on Hindi Wikipedia (hiwiki). I have been a SWMT member since late 2023 and also serve globally as a global sysop since June 2025 and a global renamer since January 2024. On English Wikipedia, I am a member of the Bot Approvals Group.

I regularly work in areas where steward tools can help stop cross-wiki spam, vandalism, and abusive LTAs. I am a technical contributor who develops bots, tools, and scripts to support global users in their work. Three of my scripts have been promoted as gadgets, two for global rename workflows and one for the Simple English Wikipedia RfD process. I have been assisting at steward venues such as SRP for the past two years, manually archiving SRP requests for sixteen months before automating the process through my bot. Auditing global groups such as global IP block exempt, abuse filter helper, and global rollbackers was difficult and time consuming due to the scale of members and wikis involved, which CptViraj and I addressed by creating the https://globalgroupsaudit.toolforge.org tool that simplifies auditing for stewards. I have also contributed to maintenance tasks, such as writing a script to modify over 3700 global and local blocks to correct block reason text, which I could have easily handled myself.

If elected, I intend to assist with SRP, SRGP, SRG, and SRM, and I would also support requests at SRB given my interest and experience in bot development. While I do not yet have functionary experience on-wiki, I have worked with these tools in my local MediaWiki environment and through my technical work I am familiar with issues related to networks and IP addresses. I am also aware of steward policies and other relevant policies such as CheckUser, Oversight, Access to nonpublic personal data policy, and privacy policies. For most of the year my time zone is +5:30 and I remain active throughout the day, allowing me to handle requests consistently. There are currently no stewards from India, and I believe my experience and knowledge of Indic languages would be useful to the steward team. I acknowledge that I am not perfect, and I would welcome guidance from experienced stewards and will consult or defer to others whenever in doubt. If there are any questions, I am happy to answer them. – DreamRimmer ■しかく 16:28, 15 January 2026 (UTC) reply
