This is the page where formal voting for administrator promotions and nominations for administrator demotions take place.

What are administrators?

Administrators are entrusted with the ability to block and ban users as well as edit and delete comments. They can also change the protection settings of pages and promote/demote chat moderators.

Procedure

When a new admin is needed, the existing admins will nominate competent candidates who are chat mod and rollback users. The candidate must accept the nomination and answer the questions dictated below. All users who meet the requirements set below may vote. At the end of a set deadline, the candidate with the strongest support in terms of number of supporting votes and strength of comments will be promoted.

All users who are nominated by someone other than themselves must accept their nomination in order for them to be promoted.

Requirements

• Users must have 50 edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to vote or nominate.
• Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of nomination and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
• Exceptions to these requirements may be made.

Questions for Candidates

1. What do you believe are the three most important qualities of an administrator?
2. What sets you apart from other candidates and makes you the ideal candidate for this position?
3. What key principles do you use in resolving conflicts between users?
4. What would you do if you feel that another member of the administrative team is not living up to the principles outlined in our policies and your prior responses?
5. What priorities of yours, if any, would change as a result of becoming an admin? How would those changes translate into your editing activities?
6. Adminship is not necessary for you to continue contributing as an active and helpful user of the wiki. That being said, why would you like to be an admin?

Any user may feel free to ask a candidate to answer a question by adding the question along with a signature to the end of the questions section for that candidate.
