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.

Right now we have only one active admin, JML. Having a second admin would mean that JML doesn't have to rename and delete everything by himself. I'm also one of three active rollbackers, and I don't think Oni wants to be an admin and SL33 is too new. I've been here for over two years now so I know what I'm doing. I know that I was gone for almost 6 months, but I'm not going to disappear without warning like that ever again. Green  Rupee  19:08, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Speaking for myself, it would be great to have someone help out with the heavy lifting, and you're absolutely qualified. Incoming Red Rupee jokes Jedimasterlink (talk) 20:01, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I know who you are. That's pretty much enough credentials to warrant my support at this stage. Oni Dark Link 20:04, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure we even have six active users eligible to vote, so if nobody minds, I'll probably promote him as long as he has a clear majority of supports. Jedimasterlink (talk) 20:06, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we should eventually change the requirements for these rfas to reflect the amount of active users we actually have. Red Rupee also sounds nice. Green   Rupee  20:33, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

 * He's qualified, he's a great editor, he keeps a level head, all that important stuff. Also, with my experience at the Xenoblade Wiki, it's very useful to have more than one active Administrator. — Ceiling  Master  23:33, June 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm tired of the inactivity, so if having two active admins would help the cause, I'm all for it. Hylian Hobbit (Edit count) 22:42, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, that's five votes... — Ceiling  Master  23:04, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that's all the votes I can actually get. Green   Rupee  23:48, July 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's basically every user that's been editing for the last week or so. — Ceiling  Master  00:19, July 4, 2014 (UTC)
