This is the page where formal nominations for adminship are recorded and archived. An explanation of what administrator or "sysop" rights are can be found at the administrator project page.

Requirements

Users must have rollback rights to be nominated for adminship. Aside from that, there are no concrete requirements for a user to be an administrator. However, administrators will usually:

• Be a capable and constructive contributor to the wiki
• Be mature and trusted by the community
• Adhere to common principles relating to adminship

Procedures

• Users must have made 50 edits in a regular fashion and have been active for at least two weeks to be able to vote or nominate. These edits can be from the wiki mainspaces and/or from the discussions.

Stage 1: Nominating

1. When this page is opened, users may be nominated by others. Statements must be fewer than 100 words.
2. If the nominee accepts a nomination, community members may ask the nominee any questions they may have. The nominee may choose not to answer.
3. At the end of one week, nominations are closed, questions are closed and voting is opened.

Stage 2: Voting

1. When voting begins, community members may do the following:
   1. Place one "support" vote under the nominee of their choice.
   2. Place one "oppose" and/or "neutral" vote under as many nominees as the user feels strongly about.
2. Attach reasoning to your position. Every vote must be logical, reasonable, and in line with the stated requirements for adminship. It is the responsibility of the voter to ensure compliance. Unless they are later clarified in an acceptable way, non-complying votes may be discarded without notice.
3. Individual votes may then be critiqued or discussed at any time in a civil and reasonable manner.
4. At the end of one week, voting is closed. Voting is also closed if there are no votes for three days.

Stage 3: Resolving

• The nominee with the most complying votes is considered first.
  • If the nominee has a rate of support of 80% or above, the rights are granted.
  • If the nominee has a rate of support between 70% and 80%, bureaucratic discretion is to be used in determining whether rights are granted. Arguments from the votes provided and the responses of the nominee to questions will be considered.
  • If the nominee has a rate of support of 70% or below, the rights are not granted.
• If the nominee with the most complying votes is not granted the rights, then the nominee with the next most complying votes is considered. The same process of percentages and bureaucratic discretion detailed above is used until a nominee with a suitably high rate of support is found.
  • This means that if no-one has a rate of support above 70%, the nominee with the highest rate of support is granted the rights.
• When deciding which nominee has the most complying votes, any draws are resolved by considering the candidate with the most support from current administrators first. If there is a draw in administrator votes, bureaucratic discretion will be used to determine which nominee will be considered first.

Oh this is easy because I've been thinking about who would make a great administrator. I, King_Bumis_Heir, nominate Kassilon for adminship on Avatar Wiki. Why? Because why not? Guy makes and edits articles all the time and he's been on the wiki probably as long as I have AND gets along well with the community. His judgement skills are great.

I, Kassilon, accept this nomination. Thank you very much for your compliments, KBH. Kassilon (wall • contribs) 23:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Questions

• As an administrator, you would be involved in answering requests from users for discussion moderator rights. What would be your process for judging if someone is deserving of these rights? HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 17:18, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Hi, sorry for a somewhat late reply! Discussion moderator rights for me would be looking to see if the user is active, and has been able to lead discussions or mediate them before in a mature and respectful manner. I wouldn't make someone feel intimidated to apply, but to know that they would have to already be somewhat trusted by the community at large in discussions. Kassilon (wall • contribs) 20:40, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

• What particular characteristics do you feel would make you a good administrator? Where do you feel you could still improve? HAMMEROFTHØR (wall) • 17:18, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
  • In general I'm a very regular contributor and try to keep myself updated with news, and I also feel capable of intervening with disputes, leading discussions, etc. I also do try to look at edit history quite a lot in frequently edited articles where needless edits are sometimes done, and undo them sometimes if necessary. That being said, I'd like to become more frequent in the War Room, and definitely pay closer attention to daily edits across the wiki. Kassilon (wall • contribs) 20:40, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
