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.

I want to become an administrator, because I am the good editor

Oppose

• Oppose While good in alerting others in files and articles suggested for review as well as sockpuppets, the reason why I oppose is due to your poor grammar, the fact you were only around for a month, your EXTENSIVE history of sockpuppetry on Logopedia, and overall not being a very constructive editor with your creation of stub pages and plagiarizing/duplicating other articles including this site and Logopedia. Camenati (talk) 22:51, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

I would love to become an adminstrator since I have edited on the wiki for a full year now and have passed around 5000+ edits in that time. I’ve also been helping out with documenting a heap of vanity plates (especially with ones on new shows that come out around the time) and also adding captures for video game logos from the old wiki.

Support

Definite support here. Would love to work with SuperMax as an admin. It would also be good to have another Aussie admin around, especially when I'm not as available during my semesters and when other IRL stuff is happening. Talk · Edits 08:27, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Well, he's an Admin on the Company Bumpers Wiki, so I think it's safe to say, he needs to here as well. Television Bois (Wanna chat?) 16:41, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Comments

User was promoted on Company Bumpers in the last couple of months. They're doing a good job so far dealing with sockpuppets and cleaning up their mess. They've also done some good work in the MediaWiki namespace with some of the interface messages to the point that I've ported some of his additions over here. Talk · Edits 05:07, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

I won't support or oppose. And here's my reasoning. It has nothing to do with the user. Seems like a good guy. But right now, am planning a bit of an overhaul of CLG administrators. Just plan to cut out ones who aren't really cutting it anymore. So I will ask to hold off on any promotions until further notice, so we can get everything straightened out. That's all I have to say MatthewLMayfield (talk) 13:30, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Are there any updates regarding this administrator overhaul? While I still have some ways to go to meet the criteria, I do want to look into becoming an administrator, mainly to help with the sockpuppet problem on the wiki. HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 01:00, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

1. You need to have been editing for a full year in order to request adminship; you have only been editing for six months. --CooleyBoy10 (talk) 00:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
2. Oppose Not just yet, given this warning from a former Steward for engaging in deceptive sockpuppetry 8 months prior to this request. Wait for at least another 6 to 9 more months, then we can talk business (even if I'm just a local non-Counter Vandalism Team member myself). --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 12:19, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

I would suggest you read the "Note to Requesters" part of this page first. Given the circumstances, I don't suppose you qualify for this position even in the slightest yet. --PM pinter (talk) 19:11, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Ever since I joined the wiki over a year ago, I’ve been helping out with documenting logos from foreign countries and have also helped out with reporting and otherwise alerting the administrators to sockpuppets and other troublesome users, reformatting pages that have been untouched since the move to Miraheze, correcting incorrect use of the FX/SFX sections and, whenever possible, readding captures from the old wiki to their respective pages. I have also amassed over the 1,000 edits needed and have a good grasp on the rules and policies of the wiki.

I mainly want to become an administrator to help combat any sockpuppet and other troublesome accounts that are created during the Eastern Time hours (giving them an even lesser window to screw around before being inevitably blocked) and to further assist with the quality control on here, particularly with image captures.

Support

• Definitely a strong candidate for admin. HC has been instrumental in alerting myself and the other admins to a number of vandals and sockpuppets. They've also been in involved in alerting the stewards to LTA accounts in need of Global Locking. I'd be more than happy to work with them as an admin. Talk · Edits 23:30, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

  I have to agree TVB (talk) 23:38, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

-Definitely. They're always on top of sockpuppets and alerts us on Discord. We could use one more good person to keep up shop. AnimeTVLogos (talk) 03:31, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Well hasn't this been a journey? And now it's finally time to move forward into a new era, which is something that I'd be glad to help with as part of the bureaucrat team. I believe in an inclusive, consensus driven community where all big decisions are discussed and voted on by the community not just between a few people behind closed doors. Exciting times are on the horizon for us and I'd love to be a part of that. Talk · Edits 00:39, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Wasn't this quite a ride? As a bit of background, prior to this huge round of drama that started with me and a few other admins being briefly demoted before Agent Isai of Miraheze's stewards stepped in, I was promoted to admin by Miraheze stewards in the absence of the Board of Directors after my Request for Adminship proved successful, this also being in the wake of a growing sockpuppet and other troublesome user problem. I've always wanted to join the admin team of the wiki to help out with these areas, and I have always dreamed of helping this wiki along in becoming a more welcoming and accepting place for editors who'll be able to have a say in the direction that this wiki goes, whether it be rule changes, rebrands, you name it, and not the oligarchic state the BoD brought that imposed rules on this community with no prior public communication with this wiki's community and also effectively attempted to censor any criticism of these decisions. I admittedly may not be proficient in the more techy side of MediaWiki, but I'm still hoping that I'll be able to help pull this wiki out of the state that it's been in under the BoD and help make this community feel safe and welcomed.

• Support Proven herself to be an excellent admin so far and a great force for good in this community. Talk · Edits 02:26, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
• Support Admin for only around 1 month, but really demonstrated her capabilities of keeping the wiki safe from sockpuppeteers as well as alerting others of rule violations. She is an active admin in the wiki who listens to what the community wants and delivers fair punishments to persistent rule violaters. A worthy bureaucrat for sure.

• Support This user has been very active in the short period she's held admin for, and has been especially helpful in keeping the Wiki in check and free from vandalism and sockpuppets, as has been stated by others. She definitely holds the right levels of maturity and moderation skills to be a worthy candidate for bureaucrat. Luke2505 (talk) 14:48, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
• Support In the short time she's been an admin, she's proven herself to be a strong leader, knowing the site inside and out (better than me even), dealing with spammers and sockpuppets beautifully, etc. She's more than worthy of being a bureaucrat. --AnimeTVLogos (talk) 21:03, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Welp, I'm coming to the conclusion that I should probably get my somewhat-deserved promotion here after the falling out we got. I come in to improve pages, am usually somewhat active on the wiki, and had several years underneath my belt as a moderator of the original site, so I feel like I have got what it takes to become a bureaucrat and help keep this site together when needed.

With a new era coming, I'd like to make this wiki a more inclusive, positive environment for all of us, where big decisions are decided openly unlike with the BoD. A fresh new start for this wiki to take a more serious step in logo archiving. I've always wanted this wiki to be on the same level as more serious communities like TVArk or LMW.
