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.

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).

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
 * 2) Have 150 or more mainspace edits.

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.

The Midna (Rollback)

I am requesting that The Midna be promoted to Rollback. Simply put, he is one of the nicest editors here, and I think if anyone deserves this honor, it is him. He is a few edits shy of 400, but still, I support this greatly. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 03:59, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Votes

 * Yep. TM is just about one of the nicest people you'll meet on this site. Also lots of good contributions! That's a good combination. --Auron  Kaizer !  04:02, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Complete agreement. He is one of the nicest people around here, and deserves this, many times over.-- C  2  / C C  04:03, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ummm, not much to say here that hasn't already been said. I just can't see any reason not to support.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv 
 * The Midna is the nicest person I've seen on Zeldapedia. He has never done anything wrong and completely deserves Rollback. I would have nominated The Midna myself as I was awaiting him to get 400 edits. Either way, 400 edits or less, he completely and utterly deserves it. I am sure that he will be completely capable of it and will handle it with respect. In this I have no doubt whatsoever. -- ⽩㤖㒾 - 㑻  04:47, December 5, 2009 (UTC), your man of the world.
