Before nominating

On this wiki, normal users can do almost everything - like editing any page, fixing bad edits, recategorising and reorganising the wiki, and writing new policies. Staff only have a couple of extra tools like deleting pages and blocking users. So you can help out here without being an administrator.

If you still want to become staff, you'll need to show that you have helped out a lot as a normal user, and that you understand the wiki really well.


Positions available

There are two staff positions available for regular users:

  • Inspector - This role has the responsibility to look around the wiki for problems, fix problems, and help users who are having trouble. Most promotions will be for this role.
  • Administrator - This staff role is a step beyond an Inspector, but it's still all about keeping the wiki running smoothly. Administrators are trusted a few extra tools to help them do this, such as deleting pages and blocking misbehaving users. Administrators also have some authority in disputes, but do not go around telling people what to do!

Currently, you should follow the same promotion procedure for either position. When assessing your application, the staff will decide which role to put you forward for.

More senior roles and groups such as Manager, Executive Manager, Checkuser, Oversight etc are only given out to existing staff, and you should not apply for these roles.


Nominate someone

To nominate someone for promotion , please type their username into this box, where it says USERNAME.

That will open an edit box. Change the word USERNAME in that code before you save.



For example, to nominate User:John, change the code on the next page to:

{{prosug| John }} ~~~~
