Transfer mod ownership
I'd like to take over ownership of the StickyNotes mod, having gotten permission from the author (viewtopic.php?f=92&t=30980&start=40). Would it be possible for the devs to transfer it to my account?
Re: Transfer mod ownership
Bumping this as a request to make this function available to mod authors.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.

Re: Transfer mod ownership
Additional suggestion:
Allow multiple authors. Sometimes you just want to allow someone else to do the management without relinquisihing all your own rights. As a full fledged permission system is probably out-of-scope, how about two categories:
Owner: Can do everything.
Collaborator: Can do everything except changing permissions.

Went ahead and implemented this. It is now possible to add collaborators to your mod as well as transfer your ownership of it. Thanks for the suggestion.eradicator wrote:Additional suggestion:

Thank you for your quick work. That was waaay faster than expected :D.Sanqui wrote:Went ahead and implemented this. It is now possible to add collaborators to your mod as well as transfer your ownership of it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Edit: Hm. Did a quick test. Adding collaborators has no confirmation dialogue (which is fine), does ownership transfer have a confirmation (i don't dare to click and try...)? Would be kinda scary otherwise. :D
Re: Transfer mod ownership
It does have a confirmation screen. But make sure you know what you're doing ^^eradicator wrote:Thank you for your quick work.
