Requests for Permissions
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

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

Because...

Support

Oppose

Comments

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.

Now, this is a possibility I have tinkered with for a long, long time - about seven months ago was when I first thought of applying for this position, but I quickly threw it out, due to me not considering myself active or ready enough for the duties being an administrator comes with. Seven months have passed, and only now, roughly a month after the original Board left and came new bureaucrats (not elaborating more), do I think I'm confident enough to apply.

I admire the direction the Database is heading in right now, and I'd love to contribute more to it, to really be involved in its ecosystem. I'm also available in the European afternoon timeslot - I live in Hungary -, which is when it's still the morning in America, while it's already night in Australia (talking to you, Hb and Hibiscus, no offense). I'm not saying THAT is the strongest reaaon for my application, but it's pretty obvious. And although I'm expected to start factory work soon, I still expect myself to at least come here daily and participate in wiki activities.

Support

  • Support User is active at adding content and reporting vandals. Sure he can be a bit cynical to vandals sometimes but IMO he's pretty harmless (as long as he stops the cynical behavior once he becomes an admin). Logohub (talk) 16:55, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
  • Support This user works hard on this Wiki, per Logohub's description. The cynical behaviour would need to stop, but I can see that he has already acknowledged this so hopefully it won't be anything to worry about. Thus, he has my support. Luke2505 (talk) 10:01, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Comments

  •  Abstain I'm in the middle of the fence here. While you're a good editor and have a decent track record of responding to violators, I think your behavior needs more working, particularly with the occasional use of strong profanity on the site (does censored profanity really count?) and a rather cynical attitude towards violators, including people who are mostly in good faith. Camenati (talk) 23:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
    Hmmm... Fair point. I never really thought of that, so, that's somewhat a surprise? Woah.
    You're right! PM pinter (talk) 03:05, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Compooper, formerly known as IfYouDareThenPizzaIt. I've been an editor on the wiki for about two and a half years now (since the start of the Miraheze wiki), and I have put in a LOT of hard work to get to where I am now. I've been editing constructively and in good faith, and while my attitude has been a little iffy over the past few months, I know I can continue to work on it and learn from my mistakes, especially when I am about to be working as an Administrator.

With that aside, I've done a large amount of changes to many articles to get it to current formatting standards. I've also combatted against vandals and trolls if I have the chance by undoing edits and suggesting page/file deletions. I've done a lot of constructive changes to the wiki's overall look and feel. I have nearly 2000 edits on this wiki, and with the work I've done recently, I feel I qualify to be an administrator.

Even if I may be busy with school-related activities, I hope this is enough for this to happen.

Support

  1. Support This user does an incredible amount of work on this wiki, and has clearly demonstrated multiple times his passion and commitment to AVID. He has my full support Luke2505 (talk) 14:24, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
  2. Support As stated in the Discord, I've got your back on this one. Probably the most active contributor who isn't a moderator already. Strongest possible support for Compooper to join the upper ranks. (name change coming soon) 14:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
  3. Support per everyone else. Logohub (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
  4. Support Per everyone else. You have done an amazing amount of work for this wiki and have helped us out a ton with things like our Rules rewrite, and as Luke said, your work here has shown that you are very committed and passionate about this place! You'd make an excellent addition to the administration team! HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 18:05, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
  5. Support You have done good things for this wiki and I am exited to see admins like you help the wiki more. (• USER TALK! •) 18:10, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
  6. Support Per everyone else. You'd definitely deserve the role with all the work you've done on the wiki recently. PM pinter (talk) 18:28, 8 December 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)

  • Support A strong candidate for bureaucrat, as shown by his useful contributions to the wiki in stopping rule breakers, improving and fixing several elements of the wiki, and a considerate attitude towards the community. Camenati (talk) 00:45, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support Slam dunk/home run/whatever you want to call it. Thatvhstapeguy (talk) 00:47, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support Shouldn't it be obvious why I support them so much? They are fantastic, and are a great choice for Bureaucrat. Dreamcast99 (talk) 00:53, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support This person was bureaucrat previously IIRC, and is a good candidate. Daemonspudguy (talk) 00:58, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
    Nah, I was just an admin before. Talk · Edits 01:15, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support Your the perfect guy to look after the rebrand. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 01:34, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support This user's been a very active member of the Wiki for as long as I can remember, and I believe they demonstrate the necessary maturity as well as moderation skills to be able to handle the role of bureaucrat. Luke2505 (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support Per everyone else's reasoning! HibiscusCrown20 (talk) 02:18, 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. Camenati (talk) 02:27, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Support Great contributor to the wiki. Clearly a good choice. Snelfu (talk) 08:39, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • 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)
  • Support Very helpful admin, she's been blocking vandals and socks left and right, and has been doing a lot of help in spite of her only being promoted just a a month ago. `Logohub (talk) 03:47, 24 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.

Support

Support Definitely a good candidate. Their long experience in particular makes them a very worthy choice. Talk · Edits 05:46, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

  • Oppose Very good editor, but does not seem to fit the admin role very well, let alone a bureaucrat. You are not that active on this site and do nothing to respond to vandals or sockpuppeteers. However, if you get promoted to either role, I will not be upset about it. Camenati (talk) 07:46, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

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.

Speedy closing as invalid due to user not meeting the requirements for Bureaucrat. Agent Isai (talk) 02:51, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

User:NancerCLG

Wowee. This whole thing happened on my birthday, and I wasn't even awake to see it unfold. I just looked on the old wiki server and found that the BoD were gone and that ENunn had rebranded it as his own personal server. I then decided to make a new one and with the help of a few others, the server was pretty much identical to the old one. I'd like to become a bureaucrat as I want to help the wiki back up on it's feet and thrive once again, free of the toxic and restricting BoD. The past may have been crummy, but there's always the future to look forward to. NancerCLG (talk) 22:19, 29 September 2022 (GMT+1)

Oppose

  • Oppose Way far off the 1000 edit minimum, not to mention you do not edit too much on the wiki. Some of your cynical behavior also gives me doubt, not being the best for either admin or bureaucrat roles. And recently, you just voted on an already closed discussion so that gives serious doubt about your knowledge of the site's rules and what follows in wikis in general. Camenati (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose While you have taken the initiative to create and run the new AVID Discord server and I have noticed that you've become more receptive to criticism in the way the server is run recently, I cannot say you are ready for Bureaucrat at this time. You are currently a Registered User on this Wiki and have not even held an Admin position yet, and as has been said, currently you don't meet the minimum amount of edits. I won't comment on your recent behaviour as you have been taking steps in order to better it, which is a positive on your part. I feel like maybe you can learn the rules of the Wiki inside out and gain the moderation skills by continuing to run the Discord, while doing this you should step up your editing presence on the Wiki. Then perhaps apply for Admin (or Moderator, if it ends up being introduced) instead of trying to jump straight to Bureaucrat. I feel like you could absolutely become a Bureaucrat eventually, but not at the moment. Luke2505 (talk) 09:47, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
