AVID:Requests for Permissions

Requests for Permissions

---

Welcome! If you are considering requesting to become either a moderator or an administrator, you must read the Note below. Please see the Instructions section for guidance on how to request.

Note to Requesters

It is best to learn the ins and outs of being part of site staff, as it will be a big responsibility. So before you continue, please read the entirety of the AVID:Site Staff page, and take note of what we expect from a staff member.

Moderatorship

The Moderator role allows users to help out the Admins and Bureaucrats by gaining slightly elevated powers to help keep the Wiki clean and free from vandals, without the power to enact major changes to the Wiki. It is also a first step and learning experience with the Wiki's staff team for users who wish to become Admin or Bureaucrat in the future.

What are the requirements?

• You must have at least 250 edits and they must be in good faith. (Edits prior to May 2020 on the former CLG Wiki website are counted towards this threshold)
  • In addition, these edits must not be filler/useless (i.e. overly minor changes to text that are not needed, continually editing your user page and not contributing to mainspace articles). Do not pad your edit count just to meet this criteria.
• You must not have been strongly warned within the last 3 months or tempblocked within the last 6 months.
• You should show a keen interest in the site and willingness to get involved with the community.
• You should show evidence of helping out the Admin team in the past. This includes reporting users and alerting Admins, but it does not require you to have done any rollbacks in the past.
  • Actions users have taken on the Wiki's official Discord server will also be taken into account when considering users for Moderator.

I have the commitment needed for Admin. Can I skip Moderator and jump straight to Admin?
Absolutely!

Adminship

Administrators work to maintain AVID and keep it running. Administrators have a lot of power, and thereby have significant responsibility. They should use their powers to combat vandalism/spam, and keep the wiki running in an orderly manner.

I know I can handle being an administrator. What are the requirements to becoming one?
While bureaucrats do have some flexibility in deciding who becomes an administrator, there are a set of base guidelines that they look for in reviewing requests:

• User must have registered their account 1 year ago. In addition, you must have at least 1,000 or more edits. (once again, edits from the former CLG Wiki are included)
• User should not currently be disruptive to the wiki, intentionally or not.
• User has not previously requested for adminship within the past 3 months.
• User has proven knowledge of AVID and its site rules. This means that they follow editing guidelines, they fix and improve pages, they upload high quality logos and follow copyright rules, etc.
• User is active in fighting vandalism, sockpuppetry, and policy-breakers. This means that their editing history provides evidence of assisting administrators (i.e. editing talk pages of admins to alert them of destructive users), reporting users, and undoing/rolling back poor or nonconstructive edits.

I satisfy (or mostly satisfy) all of the above requirements. What now?
Remember that when you become an administrator, you are expected to increase in activity and effectiveness. If you are granted adminship, you are expected to edit often and use your powers responsibly. You are expected to continue doing all of the above and more. This includes approving and/or rejecting edits on the moderation queue, responding to user reports, responding to messages or questions on your talk page, monitoring the recent changes, participating in wiki discussions, maintaining the front/AVID/MediaWiki pages, and constructively utilizing administrator abilities. If your request is approved and you are caught abusing your powers, bureaucrats reserve the right to remove your rights and punish you accordingly.

I am prepared to do everything you just listed and more.
If you truly believe you are a fit to become an administrator, then we wish you luck! Be aware of how the requesting process works. This is a voting process. All users are permitted to vote, whether or not they are an administrator. They will either support, oppose, or comment. After a request is published, AVID editors have a maximum of one month to vote, although closure can occur earlier at the original author's request or if consensus one way or the other is overwhelming (SNOW). After one month is up, should none of the early closure exceptions apply, a bureaucrat will review the votes and make a decision. If more than one month has passed and a bureaucrat has not responded to a request, feel free to notify a bureaucrat on their talk page or via Discord. You are not permitted whatsoever to edit in the support or oppose sections after the maximum voting period has passed. You may add or reply to comments, but you may not modify or remove others' comments. If you are caught trying to influence editors to vote or change their vote, your request will be disqualified. Cheating, incivility, and harassment is prohibited. The Instructions section below will guide you on how to publish a request.

Bureaucracy

If you are an administrator who would like bureaucracy, contact a bureaucrat on their talk page or Discord.

Instructions for Requesting

Please ensure you have read the above section. Anyone requesting must have a valid reason to why they should be promoted, and understand how to use the abilities. Use the code below to request. Fill in each parameter with what is specified (except the "Request" and "~~~~" part, leave that alone). Remember that these abilities are not given out freely or carelessly, and that they are not for fun. If your request is ignored or rejected, do not feel bad. Take the voters' advice and begin to work harder so you can request again in the future.

Code for Requesters:

{{Request|Username|Reason as to why you should be a moderator/administrator|~~~~}} ===Support=== ===Oppose=== ===Comments=== Example When typing: {{Request|User|Because...|~~~~}} ====Support==== ====Oppose==== ====Comments====

The following would appear:

Instructions for Voting

All users are able to vote, but may only vote once per request. Please note that if a request has already been approved/rejected by a bureaucrat, you are no longer able to vote. In the Support section, users should sign if they think that the user has earned the abilities. In the Oppose section, users should sign if they disagree with the user being promoted. In the Comments section, users may add their opinion or questions as to why or why not the user should/nt be promoted.

Users vote using either of the following templates:
{{Support}} You make a good fit. ~~~~
Support You make a good fit. [signature]

{{Oppose}} You make a bad fit. ~~~~
Oppose You make a bad fit. [signature]

Requests

So do you think you are fit for the staff team? If so, then go ahead and make a request in any of the three sections below.

(to start, I'm typing this from school so I can't see any messages sent to me on the server right now). I have been with AVID since its rename and after recent times helping out the staff team during when I was first let back in again beforehand, as well as showing what I could do on the server with contributions there after I was ranked in September, I and a couple of others feel that I have what it takes to take my abilities a step up and fully cross-platform my moderatorship. I am always active on the wiki and have my eye out for things that go on around 'ere and I think that I can prove myself worthy over here as well as I do on the server. Other background info can be seen on my userpage, thank you for reading!

Support

1. Support You have shown immense growth since 2022, and now I can safely say that you are now ready to become a moderator. Logoarto (talk) 16:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
2. Support Per Logoarto. (Talk to me!) 16:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
3. Support Milkywave. A user who runs Reconstruction Zone. A user who is tremendously received by the community. A user who makes good faith contributions on the wiki. A user who has become an effective moderator in the Discord. A user who wasn't even supposed to be unbanned until a few years from now, suddenly has a chance to become a wiki moderator. If that doesn't speak Milkywave's massive growth for the past two years, I have no idea what will. Compooper (talk) 20:38, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
4. Support With perhaps the biggest improvement of public image in the past two years, I have no questions asked about your abilities. Big thumbs up. Dison (talk) 20:55, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
5. Support I agree, per everyone above. - GutterBoy8001
6. Support per others. You have grown tremendously since 2022. · Talk · Edits 07:22, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

I first edited on the wiki in 2021, and I've been contributed to it since then. While I have a rough start to edit, I kept being patient, perseverance on working and right now I'm a well-known editor to many, along with being a creator of one of the AVIDproject on the wiki. Being experienced in editing myself, I'm also knowledgeable about American commercial or educational broadcasting, as well as Brazillian TV stations. Granted, I didn't have the greatest reception before today, as I had controversies in the past related to the wiki and the server. But for a while now, I've been let back in after showing to everyone that I've changed for the better; while helping the staff, getting along with the people on the server and overall did good-faith contributions. All and all, I believe in myself to be a good moderator on the site and will get through all the hardships that I'll have when I get this job. Thanks for reading!

i've been given an opportunity to become a moderator, so i decided to see how it is like to be it. i've been in the wiki since 2021, and while i haven't edited much back then, i slowly started editing and creating pages, thus improving my editing skills and grammar. i helped wiki by expanding pages, helping out with some drafts and making changes off some of the passed RFCs. alongside, i've made several user reports then, reverted changes if a vandal came and helped out with avid:logos from year. besides, i avoided any drama and controversial things on the wiki and the server.

if i become a moderator, i totally understand that i have a responsibility now, and i promise that i will put all my effort to become a not-so-bad moderator.

1. Support Probably one of the best contributors on the wiki, has a good reputation on the server as well. Logoarto (talk) 11:19, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
2. Support I give full support based on your high-quality contributions on the wiki, not just on pages, but on rule enforcement as well. I think this role will do you best. Compooper (talk) 11:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

A very good admin on the Discord server. A wiki veteran hailing from the WikiFoundry era. IMO they're often are the voice of reason within staff, which is why they're considered a head admin on the server. Also very good contributions to the site and is quite knowledgeable on British media as well as technology. Like with VPJ, I believe they would make a good admin on the site. Logoarto (talk) 18:44, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Support

1. Support I've seen you too along with VPJHuk. Having someone who's been around since the old days is great and I think you're qualified. - GutterBoy8001
2. Support I think Logan will make a perfect fit for admin on the wiki. They have my vote! 19:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
3. Support Logan really knows their Stuff. They're one of the most valuable users on this wiki, making quality edits and additions to the site, and seeing they are being considered for admin on wiki, whilst already having a tremendous track record as head admin in the Discord, really shows the weight of their contributions in the community. Compooper (talk) 19:51, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Has proven to be a good administrator on the Discord server. A wiki veteran hailing from the WikiFoundry era. Notifies staff about any ruckus going on, very good contributions to the site and very knowledgeable on rare logos. Is often the "mediator" when drama happens on the server. Therefore, I believe he would make a good fit as admin for this wiki. Logoarto (talk) 18:44, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Support

1. Support I've seen you around for a while, and that's a good sign, that someone is dedicated to help the logo community with captures and edits. You have my vote! -GutterBoy8001
2. Support VPJHuk has really been a great admin and contributor to the logo community. He's been doing a great job and I believe he deserves to be admin on the wiki.
3. Support VPJ's knowledge success in the logo hunting field is a valuable asset in the community, as well as bringing quality wiki contributions. This is another user I'm happy to see being nominated for wiki admin. Compooper (talk) 19:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
4. Support VPJ is another great asset to our site. · Talk · Edits 20:04, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Compooper/Inaudible has consistently proven to be one of the most dedicated and impactful users on both our wiki and server. Not only did he contribute significantly to the fresh AVID design elements that we enjoy today, but he’s also always on hand to help reinforce our site rules and maintain the integrity of our community. He’s been instrumental in shaping our rules and tutorial pages post 9/9. Beyond his contributions to the wiki itself, he stands out as one of our most reliable and respected admins on the server. His active participation in staff discussions, keen insights, and ability to communicate effectively make him a key member of the team with a great reputation among users. Given his unwavering dedication and the positive influence he brings, I am thrilled to nominate him as our fifth bureaucrat. Logoarto (talk) 12:40, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
