Animal Crossing Wiki:Promote

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.

The following roles are not currently available:


 * Chat Moderator (Reason: chatmod role limit at/exceeded maximum)
 * Bureaucrat

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, 4 supports, without obtaining any oppose votes before the allotted two weeks have expired, he or she will be promoted. If the user receives an oppose vote, then an extra support vote is needed.

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.

Chat mod
In order to apply for Chat Moderator rights, an applicant must have:
 * 1) A minimum of 50 mainspace edits
 * 2) A minimum of 2 weeks of active membership
 * 3) Active in chat

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

Rollback
In order to apply for Rollback rights, an applicant must have:
 * 1) A minimum of 200 mainspace edits
 * 2) A minimum of 2 weeks 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 500 mainspace edits
 * 2) A minimum of two months of active membership

Regardless of the aforementioned requirements, a user must obtain a vote total of +4 or higher to be promoted (see Voting).

How to request promotion or demotion
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 (remember, doing it incorrectly looks really bad):


 * 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.

Rules
To vote, a user must:
 * 1) Be an active member of the Animal Crossing Wiki for at least one week at the time the voting begins.
 * 2) Have 10 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.

User:CaikCat - Administrator
I feel it is time. I feel it in my blood. I know that I am ready, and that is why I have been working my non-existant tail off throughout the week. I have 800 edits, 500 mainspace edits. Although, I will admit, I am not the best at coding, or designing. But I will do my best. I feel my position will mostly be used for issues with members, and such. I will lend my skills wherever applicable, and that is why now I feel it is time. I am ready to evolve from the world of chat moderation. I am ready to hold out my name to the life of an administrator. CaikCat (talk) 16:26, September 28, 2013 (UTC)
