Shortcuts:

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:

User:User

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]

User:IAmThe789Guy

I have been editing on the wiki for more than two years (I've been here since July 2020) and I have amassed over 1000 edits (though I can no longer see how many edits I've done now). I know it is a big responsibility for me, but I know my way around the site, and if I were to get the rights, I would be able to warn users over mistakes and block any suspected sockpuppets. I know we have a lot of admins at this point, but I could help out if other admins can't provide help at any given moment.

Support

Support User does a lot of work cleaning up articles. Although you have been subject to some warnings, and the attitude is, well, something, I do think you have a shot at becoming admin, one way or another. Doctorine Dark (talk) 08:23, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Support I'd like to see you become an admin! I think you have the responsibility and courage to have the second biggest role on this wiki! (Talk to Me!) 19:55, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello. My name is Doctorine_Dark, member of this wiki since December 11, 2021. Now, to begin with, this is something I had thought of for quite some time. And yes, I know what you may be thinking, I am quite young (nearly 14) and this could a rather big responsibility for me, but I do not wish this to be something that concerns you. I want to be an administrator so that I could help with maintenance and hopefully against policy-breakers too. Until now, this is all I can provide, and I hope this is enough for that to happen. It would be an honor helping out a wiki that had become a part of my life as a youngster. Thank you.

As someone who has been active for almost two years and has exceeded the 1000 edit minimum, I would want to be an administrator, especially on blocking sockpuppets and trolls.

User:Livin'

talk · contribs · editcount · logs · block log · rights log

Similar to the above two users, this user has not been active for a long time. The last time he ever made an edit on this site prior to this request was in July of 2022, but his gradual inactivity stretches beyond that date, as his edits have lost steam starting mid-October 2021. Therefore, seeking this user for help on page deletions and user blocks would be redundant as of now. Expanding on this a little further, ever since his mid-October slowdown, he has mostly stopped using his administrator privileges.

User:CooleyBoy10

CooleyBoy10 has been an admin here for a long period of time. His time at the wiki, however, has been marred by some recent wrongdoings that have come to light. We recently found out that he had lied to a Steward about his a block he delivered to a user, along with many more unnecessarily harsh blocks without giving warnings. However, through Ethan, we were able to contact him, and he has stated he wishes to retire. With this RFR, I'd like to acknowledge that he has done wrong, but wish to give him a peaceful send off, and to thank him for his service to the wiki.

  1. I will Support this, but not without giving my thanks to you for your duties as admin over the past 8 years. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Compooper (talk) 11:46, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
  1. Support It goes without saying I must thank Cooley for his years of service, he has been an admin for as long as I can remember. While the recent revelations are disappointing I wish Cooley all the best going forward. Luke2505 (talk) 11:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
