I made the decision to announce my interest in the position after some careful consideration. For a few months now, the design of the wiki has been one of my favorite things to study and tweak here and there, right after editing pages. Though that can only go so far and is limited to smaller changes like templates. With the proper user rights, bigger changes can be achieved and hopefully for the better. I believe I should be chosen because I have held this motivation since discovering how much I like being a part of this group, and with that:

Has a good eye for layout and design.
I’m sure I have an eye for both. In addition, I can work flexibly with various styles as well. Here, I’ve largely used "sharp" designs, but others that are more rounded, elegant, playful, or edgy are doable too. (The upcoming Fandom changes mean they will be modernizing many of their modules and changing a lot of the overall design, what would look nice today may not be so tomorrow. Being aware of that would certainly help.)

Knows how to make and code a website (familiarity with HTML, CSS and JavaScript required).
I’m comfortable with CSS and HTML, not claiming to be a specialized expert but I’m capable. Javascript is not one of my favorites to work with but much of it and its basics aren’t strangers. All in all, I know what each is and how to use them, that is, I can build a website.

Is a well-established editor of this wiki in good standing.
I believe I’m an editor in good standing; however, I’m not one of the most social of users here. Whether I’m well-established is up for debate, admittedly my time here has not been as long as some but my presence here I hope has made a difference enough to eliminate that issue.

Since there’s the idea that other regular users will review this: If you perhaps feels uncomfortable or hold any doubts with my interest in adminship, please, I would very much like to hear your thoughts, most importantly why.

Likes to work with others in a team and is open to criticism of their layout proposals.
I enjoy working with others in collaborative projects and such, it helps when they are just as invested in it as I am however. I like to think I’m open to criticism, meaning I can both evaluate and consider objections with an unbiased ear. I must mention though, that if a disagreement is presented, I expect it to be reasonably justified, therefore ideas and thoughts can be completely on the table and revisions and compromises can be easily agreed upon.

Some familiarity with Wikitext and the source editor.
As for wikitext and the source editor, the source editor happens to be my forte; wikitext was the first thing to learn as thoroughly as I could as soon as the source editor was known to me. (I had an issue with linking to diff pages and comments but that’s cleared up now) Ever since, basic galleries to parser functions have been a part of my growing knowledge.

Experience in an admin position at another wiki.
This is my main wiki and the majority of my free time is exclusively here, resulting in my standing in other wikis to be merely the user who drops by once in a great while, not exactly enough to convince a whole other community to consider me for adminship. However, I can properly use admin tools, for instance, the admin dashboard, blocking, page protection, theme designer, mediawiki pages, etc. And of course, currently as a content mod, I can use those tools easily as well.

[S]ome examples of website layouts you produced or some ideas how you would change the layout.
If it’s regarded as necessary, one or more layouts can be arranged for demonstration.

The main page would be the number one priority for improvements and redesign, though it will be the most time consuming. Other than that, everything from infoboxes, site navigations, and articles will be up for modification, all dependent upon what everyone here at the Tokyo Ghoul Wiki would agree to change.

I've summarized plainly how I meet these requirements and why I would be a good fit for redesigning the wiki as an admin. With that, I'll leave it to you all to decide whether or not I'm fit.
