This is because new staff members are not always needed, and when they are, we often require specific skills rather than just approving anyone who asks.

			This page is for the policy & procedure surrounding promotions to staff.

			*'''To nominate someone to become staff, please see [[Grand Theft Wiki:Promotion/Nominate\|Promotion/Nominate]]'''
			*To discuss current promotions, please see [[Community:Promotion]]
			*To see old promotion discussions, please see [[Community:Promotion]]
			*To see who has been nominated, please see [[Community:Promotion/Nominations]]
			*To see what staff positions exist, see [[Grand Theft Wiki:Staff\|Staff]]


			==Process==
			For someone to be promoted, the process is as follows:
			#They are nominated (by themselves or someone else) at: [[Grand Theft Wiki:Promotion/Nominate]]
			#This creates a nomination entry at: [[Community:Promotion/Nominations]]
			#A Manager will then examine the entry, and decide whether it is worth starting the promotion
			#*If the user is a known vandal, or has too few edits, they can be excluded at this stage
			#The manager will create a promotion page (example) and this will be listed on [[Community:Promotion]]
			#Any user can ask questions on that promotion page
			#The nominated user should answer the questions, and explain why they should become staff
			#When everyone has had a chance to discuss, a Manager will decide whether or not to promote the user
			#The user will be given staff rights, and can then use the staff titles, icons, colour and templates
			#The promotion page will be protected and maintained as an archive


			Managers have full authority in deciding who is to become an Administrator or Inspector on Grand Theft Wiki. Only Executive Managers can promote users to Manager or above.

			Speedy promotions may be carried out by an Executive Manager. This can be an instant promotion without discussion. The reasons for such a promotion may be an old staff member returning (where there is no need to discuss suitability), an emergency which requires additional staff, or where the promotion is required for technical reasons (ie server administrators).

			If you disagree with any nomination or current promotion, you can comment on the talk page. If you have concerns about the conduct of any staff member, report it to a Manager or Executive Manager immediately.
