Board Thread:Wiki Running/@comment-3225604-20160106132717

Prior to some users thinking the system needs revision as some rules are a bit unreasonable. I propose the following:

First method
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. The details of how to become an administrator on this wiki are as follows:

Nomination
In order to become a candidate in this wiki's admin, you must do the following things:
 * Write a letter of nomination to any one of the bureaucrats (, or ). State why you want to become an admin, what you are going to do in order to improve this wiki and what makes you qualify to become an admin in this wiki.
 * You must get a word of support from either of the admins ON THIS WIKI (let the admin write a recommendation letter for you, stating reasons of the admin support your promotion to admin and qualities for you to qualify; writing as comments in blog posts or under the supporting user comment/message will not be accepted), and 4 more users supporting you with reasons ON THIS WIKI. The list of admins could be found here. Please include them in your letter of nomination with sources of the admin's recommendation and the 4 users supporting documents.
 * You must have joined this wiki for at least .
 * Candidates having more than 2 blocks in their history will be admitted only if two of three bureaucrats establish that the misbehavior, cause of the block history, no longer applies to the user, and provided the third bureaucrat does not oppose.
 * Candidates having more than 2 blocks in their history will be admitted only if two of three bureaucrats establish that the misbehavior, cause of the block history, no longer applies to the user, and provided the third bureaucrat does not oppose.

Voting

 * Receive at least  votes from normal users (IP users don't count!)
 * Receive 80% votes from admins  and 70% support votes from admins
 * Have at least 70% of support votes (IP users' votes count!)
 * You can have neutral votes, but does not count as part of the support votes.

For voters, you must:
 * State why you support the user
 * Post your vote once. If sockpuppeting is observed, your vote including your first vote is deemed invalid and may get blocked.
 * Not vote on every other accounts you manage, as well as your IP addresses. If the admin candidate is found to sockpuppet, s/he will be disqualified in the voting and may get blocked.

Second method
The bureaucrat can nominate users to be admins. However, if this should happen, it must fulfill the following:
 * The user must have joined this wiki for at least .
 * Candidates having more than 2 blocks in their history will be admitted only if two of three bureaucrats establish that the misbehavior, cause of the block history, no longer applies to the user, and provided the third bureaucrat does not oppose.
 * Candidates having more than 2 blocks in their history will be admitted only if two of three bureaucrats establish that the misbehavior, cause of the block history, no longer applies to the user, and provided the third bureaucrat does not oppose.

If the above is fulfilled, a forum post should start, so that users can vote for or against the candidate.

Voting

 * Receive at least  votes from normal users (IP users don't count!)
 * Receive 80% votes from admins  and 70% support votes from admins
 * Have at least 70% of support votes (IP users' votes count!)
 * You can have neutral votes, but does not count as part of the support votes.

For voters, you must:
 * State why you support the user
 * Post your vote once. If sockpuppeting is observed, your vote including your first vote is deemed invalid and may get blocked.
 * Not vote on every other accounts you manage, as well as your IP addresses. If the admin candidate is found to sockpuppet, s/he will be disqualified in the voting and may get blocked.

Third method
This is something similar to how most wikis elect administrators.

Nominators

 * They must be registered users.
 * They may only nominate one user at one time (you can nominate another one right after).
 * They should nominate users by contacting one of the bureaucrats.
 * They may not nominate the user again within 30 days if it is not elected in the process.

Requirements in order to be eligible for the voting process

 * The user must have joined this wiki for at least .
 * Candidates having more than 2 blocks in their history will be admitted only if two of three bureaucrats establish that the misbehavior, cause of the block history, no longer applies to the user, and provided the third bureaucrat does not oppose.
 * The candidate must accept the nomination.
 * The bureaucrat contacted must approve.
 * The candidate must not be nominated in the second time within 30 days.
 * The candidate must not be nominated in the second time within 30 days.

Voting

 * Receive at least  votes from normal users (IP users don't count!)
 * Receive 80% votes from admins  and 70% support votes from admins
 * Have at least 70% of support votes (IP users' votes count!)
 * You can have neutral votes, but does not count as part of the support votes.

For voters, you must:
 * State why you support the user
 * Post your vote once. If sockpuppeting is observed, your vote including your first vote is deemed invalid and may get blocked.
 * Not vote on every other accounts you manage, as well as your IP addresses. If the admin candidate is found to sockpuppet, s/he will be disqualified in the voting and may get blocked.
