Template:Administrator Discussion

Administrators
Administrators (or "admins" or "sysop") are trusted users, who are generally chosen by the community and also have access to the administrative tools.

Administrator's Tools

 * See Help:Administrators for an overview of advanced editing tools available to admins

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.

Administrator Traits One Should Have

 * A kind approach to fellow members of the community.
 * Is helpful to other members of the community by trying to answer questions or complaints.
 * Is familiar with basic editing in source mode on Wikia.
 * Has a well-rounded knowledge of the content in Knights and Dragons.
 * Is respected by other members of the community.
 * Is able to work well with others.
 * Seems like their contributions to the Knights and Dragons community would benefit with the administrator specific tools.

Discussion Procedure

 * Upon receiving sufficient vouches, one of the Admin Team will open up a discussion thread for the possible promotion of the user. The user will be notified about the discussion thread once it is set up and opened.
 * Upon opening the discussion thread, community members are allowed to ask whatever questions they need to get an answer with, in terms of the user running for Administrator. The discussion thread will be opened for 1 WEEK.
 * Questions must be clear AND related to the Administrator's job.
 * The candidate is expected to answer pertinent questions.
 * RESPECT shall be the word of order at all time. Not agreeing with the candidate being possibly promoted does not allow someone to disrespect that person.
 * A failure from the candidate to answer a question for more than 48hrs during the discussion(candidate shall be expected to be active during the discussion process) will result in a cancellation of the upcoming vote.
 * After 1 week, the Admin team will evaluate the user's answers to any questions the community asked; determine whether the user is going to be a beneficial for the community if ever the Administrative Tools are granted. This will take 2 Weeks.
 * After 2 weeks of Staff Evaluation, a bureaucrat will then notify the user on his/her Message Wall whether he/she has been promoted for admin or not. A detailed reason will be provided in case the request is declined.
