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 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.
• 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.
• Candidates should describe why the wiki should want them to be sysops, not why they want to be sysops on the wiki.
• 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.
• Rollback status is not required for a successful RfA, but is highly encouraged. Users who only want sysop tools for quick reverts of vandalism will be 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.
• Users that have been blocked in the past, or who have previously made an RfA and failed, are no less eligible for adminship. However, such users should be able to demonstrate how they have improved since the block/previous RfA, lest their RfA find serious opposition.

Past nominations

• 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 two-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, and 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}}

Candidate, please summarize why you are running for adminship below.
I want to become a admin well because it looks fun blocking bad users ruining the wiki deleting pages the fun part is you can go to pages that only admins can access and i want to be one it looks really cool! running for adminship is really good idea!

Support

1. A support as strong as the TI4 grand finals were long in duration. MegaTron1 02:47, 28 May 2016 (EDT)

Oppose

1. I know what it's like to be a new user who wants to help, but this is misguided. Make an effort to contribute, and familiarize yourself with the way wikis work. This RfA is like asking to graduate after your first week of school. Miles (talk) 02:48, 28 May 2016 (EDT)

   i understand Pinkygirl (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2016 (EDT)Pinkygirl (Pinkygirlthehalf-humanneko)

2. Speedy Oppose - Not gonna even bother writing out a long response for this one. See WP:SNOW. Also, "because it looks fun blocking bad users" is, to say the least, quite the understatement of an admin's real responsibilities. --Timson622222 (talk) 02:52, 28 May 2016 (EDT)

   i know the responsible job of a admin no reason to look at WP:SNOW Pinkygirl (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2016 (EDT)Pinkygirl (Pinkygirlthehalf-humanneko)

3. Strong Oppose - Is that all you got? Looks like you really need to learn the rope of the wiki. I saw your contribution and you have never done something ambitious to become an admin. I never see how you handle a dispute. That's a lackluster. You really need to spend more time to help wiki, do something ambitious, and other very good elements/attributes that requires you to become an admin with huge effort to yield that result. I never see how you handle a dispute. You also underestimate admin's real capabilities and your reasons given are inadequate, not very good, and sound naive. Like Timson62222, see WP:SNOW. Unless you realize your critical mistakes, have high commitment, great dispute handling, and show dedication, you can never become an admin. Luigi540 (talk) 04:32, 28 May 2016 (EDT)

   ... i didn't need to look at WP:SNOW mario wiki doesn't have a RFA Pinkygirl (talk) 05:40, 28 May 2016 (EDT)Pinkygirl (Pinkygirlthehalf-humanneko)
