Zeldapedia:Requests for adminship

This is the page where users can request Administrator and Rollback rights and vote on other users who are requesting rights. Please read the following regulations and instructions completely before voting or placing a request.

For additional information about Administrators, please see the Administrators' how-to guide and What administrators cannot do.

In the event that an Administrator or Rollbacker is being unruly or breaking the rules, a request for their demotion may be placed below in the Requests for demotion header. The same voting rules apply for this as well. The vote totals required for their demotion remain the same as those for promotions as well.

Rules for requests
Each user's request will run for two weeks, during which members of the community will vote on the request. An applicant may and should inform other users of his or her application.

If the applicant meets the vote quota in that time, then he or she shall be given the promotion. If an applicant obtains the needed support votes without obtaining any oppose votes before the allotted two weeks have expired, he or she will be promoted without having to wait the remainder of the two weeks. (Note to Bureaucrats: In this situation, allow at least one full day before promoting a candidate in order to give users ample time to cast their votes.)

If the applicant does not meet the required votes in two weeks, the request will be archived as "opposed". After a failed request, both for Rollback and Administrator rights, a user must wait 4 weeks (1 month) before requesting again.

From the months of May-September, promotions for Administration will be disabled for all those who have not been active for at least two months prior to this start date. People who have been actively editing for two months prior to this start date will be excused from this rule and will be eligible for promotion.

Rollback
In order to apply for Rollback rights, an applicant must have:
 * 1) A minimum of 400 mainspace edits
 * 2) A minimum of 2 months of active membership

An applicant must obtain a vote total of +4 or higher to be promoted (see Voting).

Administrator
In order to apply for Administrator rights, an applicant must have:


 * 1) A minimum of 750 mainspace edits
 * 2) A minimum of two months of active membership after obtaining Rollback rights (4 months total).

Or
 * 1) A minimum of 1250 mainspace edits
 * 2) A minimum of six weeks of active membership after obtaining Rollback rights (3 1/2 or more months total).

In special occasions, a user may apply if he or she has less than the required time limit of active membership under the discretion of active admins (To be discussed on talk pages).

When an Administrator has been inactive for a substantial amount of time, their Administrator rights will be removed, but their rollback rights are retained. To regain their Administrator rights, they are required to actively contribute to Zeldapedia for at least 2 months, at which time they can reapply.

Regardless of the aforementioned requirements, a user must obtain a vote total of +6 or higher to be promoted (see Voting).

How to request promotion
After meeting or exceeding the said requirements, follow the following instructions to place your request.


 * 1. Add the following to the bottom of the Requests header, replacing "USER" and "RANK" with your username and desired rank, respectively:


 * 2. Under the header and user information, write a few sentences about why you are requesting a promotion and what qualifies you for the position. Users will then vote on whether or not you should be promoted to rollback or administrator status.

Rules
To vote, a user must:
 * 1) Be an active member of Zeldapedia for at least one month at the time the voting begins.
 * 2) Have 150 or more mainspace edits at the time the voting begins.

Templates

 * Support votes count as +1 toward an applicant's total
 * Oppose votes count as -1 toward an applicant's total
 * Neutral votes do not affect an applicant's total
 * An applicant's vote total can be found by adding up the supports and opposes. For example, an applicant receives 5 support (+) votes and 2 oppose (-) votes. His or her vote total is +3.

Green Rupee (administrator)

 * Green Rupee (talk · contributions · edit count )

Knows what he's doing and is around a lot more than I am as of late. Just recently we've had whole floods of users doing all kinds of things they shouldn't be including vandalism and just straight-up careless rulebreaking, and I think we need another admin around -- and because he's been an active editor and has dealt with most of the recent issues, I'm nominating him. He has a level head and clear editing skill and has been around for a good while now, and he more than fits the requirements. Also, insert joke about promoting him to Red Rupee. ~ Minish ( talk ) 22:24, February 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * As you said, he knows what he's doing and he's far more active than most of us have been. And he's dealt with the most recent stuff, as you said. He's been around for almost a year and, as you said, he knows what he's doing. Oh, and Red is a good color. – Enemy  Peacemaker  22:28, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Green Rupee is twenty times the man he was when he started as a mere pennyworth. Someday he may become a Huge Gold Rupee and surpass us all.  Xykeb  Yvolix   Zraliv  22:49, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been waiting for this. He knows what he's doing as well as any of the other admins, and he is more active than most of us especially me . That's pretty much all that needs to be said. Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:23, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Much too soon. -- Auron  Kaizer !  12:25, February 25, 2013 (UTC)
