SmashWiki:Requests for adminship

This page documents an official SmashWiki policy, a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page.

This is the page for requesting adminship for SmashWiki.

Rules & Regulations

• Only self-nominations are allowed. If you think that another member would make a good sysop, then you can convince them to nominate themselves. You cannot, however, make a nomination on behalf of another user.
• After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
• Selections of sysops are not a simple vote count, or majority opinion. Users who wish to be promoted should demonstrate a steady commitment to this wiki, and be able to point to reasons that the sysop tools would allow them to do better editing.
• When supporting or opposing a candidate, give good reasons. Comments that describe in detail why the candidate should/should not become a sysop carry far more weight than simple support/oppose. Also, support comments that reference only edit count carry almost no weight in the selection process.
• Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. However, users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be refused and directed towards the appropriate request.
• Upon request, a prospective sysop may be given a scenario and asked his/her opinion on how s/he would handle it.
• If a user has been blocked for any reason (except an IP auto-block or a wrong button click), s/he must wait a period of at least four months from the expiry of his/her ban until s/he may even be considered for adminship. Even after this time period has passed, the user should be prepared to answer questions about his/her block.
• For users that have had previous unsuccessful RfAs and are planning to open a new one, consider the reasons that the previous nominations failed. Has anything changed about you that would make a new nomination successful?

Past nominations

• For a list of all previous requests for adminship, please see this category.
  • For a list of all previous requests for adminship that ended with the candidate's promotion, please see this category.
  • For a list of all previous requests for adminship wherein the candidate was not promoted, please see this category.

How to nominate

If you have not had a request for adminship page before, follow this 2 step process.

1. Go to the end of the requests section below, and add the following text:

   {{{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/Username}}

   Where "Username" is the name of the user being nominated.
2. Click on the created red link, and add:

   {{subst:rfa|Username|reason for nomination}}

However, if you have had a previous request for adminship, follow this process instead.

1. Go to the end of the requests section below, and add the following text:

   {{{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}/Username (#)}}

   Where "Username" is the name of the user being nominated.
   Where # is 2 for the second RfA, 3 for the third, and so on.
2. Click on the created red link, and add:

   {{subst:rfa|Username|reason for nomination}}

KoRoBeNiKi

Hello. This is KoRoBeNiKi. I wish to become an Admin on here after all that I have done for smash 64 moves and all smash 64 and melee stuff. I wish to become an admin to help get rid of vandals and get rid of combos that do not exist. I wish to be able to report combos that do not work because it is possible to get out of most combos in these games. I wish to be able to furthur my contributions and the "pro" scene of smash. Other good points is that I have never been banned from Any Board whatsoever. I am also a very old member of this wonderful site going back to the time when brawl was not even known about (before when it was just smashwiki). I added starting percentages for characters of smash 64 and I only will change when I am completely sure that I am right. I have been here from the time of character moves not being there for anyone correctly in smash 64 and not even everyone in melee. I have had trobule with editing in the beginning but now I am completely fine with this. Furthermore, I believe that I am responsible enough to hold such an honor. 20:02, 29 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by KoRoBeNiKi (talk • contribs)

Neutral Leaning Ever-So-Slightly Towards Support. I read your statement and was GOING to say support but... YOU SHOULD HAVE SIGNED YOUR USERNAME XD Kperfekt722 (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Weak Opposition Don't look so good when you don't even sign your own request. Also, I note many of your contributions are sparse, and marked by large periods of inactivity. Committment, sir, committment.Semicolon (talk) 20:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
