Requests for Staff

Requests for Staff (RfS) is the process by which the community decides who will become staff members, who are specially recognized users for a given field. A user either submits his/her own request for staff (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. For record purposes, we will be keeping previous applications on file as reference and for public access in the Archive.

Requirements
Before submitting a request for staff, users must meet a list of requirements. The requirements are listed below:
 * The user must have completed at least 400 (or 100 if applying for chat moderator) or more mainspace edits at the time of their submission.
 * The user must have been an accounted member of the wikia for at least three months at the time of their submission.

If a user submits a request without matching one of these requirements, their submission will be removed immediately. They can re-submit their request at a later date, with an existing admin's permission.

Request Process
1. A user submits their request for staff or is nominated by another user. Submit your request by leaving a message detailing why you feel you are qualified for the position and why you would be an asset to the community. Follow your message with your signature.

2. Users in the community will have a period of time to support, oppose, or remain neutral to a user's request. IPs, or users without accounts are not allowed to vote.

3. After a reasonable amount of given time, voting will end. If the request has at least 8 supportive votes* and more supportive votes than opposing votes, it is qualified for admin voting. If not, the request is denied.

4. If the request is qualified, the admins will have to vote. They will submit their votes via the administrative board on the forums, or anonymously amongst themselves. The request needs a simple majority of the voting admins** to be approved.

5. If the majority of the voting admins and community staff support the candidate, an admin/bureaucrat will promote the user to a staff member.

Support a User by leaving a signature and a reason why you support, and the same for not supporting. Non-constructive posts will be removed.

Staff members are decided through a person's contributions and their activity on the Wiki. Before requesting a staff position, take a look at where your edits lie (we prefer that Staff members have at least 400 edits). This also applies to supporting or opposing to a user's request. If they are lacking constructive edits or their edits are within a different field than the one they're applying for, they obviously aren't cut out for the job.

IPs are not allowed to edit this section.

How to vote
To vote, simply place one of the four voting templates below the request, along with any existing votes. The voting templates to choose from are "Support", "Oppose", "Neutral", and "Comment". After placing the template, explain why you cast that specific vote. Provide valid reasoning; don't support a user simply because they are your friend or oppose a user because you don't like them. Provide solid and clear reasoning. Keep in mind that you are not only voting on the request, but also trying to persuade the admins to support or oppose the submission. Follow your reasoning with your signature.

Janitors
Janitors are users who are always on the lookout for spelling errors, coding errors, useless information, run-on sentences, etc.

Hello Everyone. This is TWDFan630 aka Nathan. Many edits of mine on here are from the TV Series, Comic Series, and others while fixing and updating pages. If there's something not up to date, then I would be here to fix it up. I'm a huge fan of the TV and Comic Series, and I'm willing to help out on this wiki as a Janitor. If you're looking for another Janitor, then you're staring at the right guy for the job! TWDFan630 (talk) 05:45, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

No, sorry. Just give it some time, you should pull around. But, now, you're just not ready. M O N K I E B O I 12:47, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

I Support You seem like you know what your doing compared to most people like ^ up there but yeah i'd say you know enough to be a janitor. RickGrimes Sheriff

 First off having quotes isn't going to make you seem mature and fit for the job and second off you haven't been very active in the last couple of months. In conclusion, NO. Sorry but become more active and then maybe...just maybe you'll be fit for the job. Pigpen077 (talk) 20:49, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

in sorry man, but I had seen the way you behave, NO staff member should be acting like that, please don't take this personally, but I don't think it's a good idea. Sorry --Camjf123

We've got enough active janitors, you've been fairly inactive as of recent times, and from what I've seen, you can't really take criticism well which could be a problem if an editor criticised you reverting one of their edits. You also tend to report users for the most immature reasons such as changing photos which you claim to be against the wiki guidelines, no it's not. Using quotes isn't even a constructive way to make you seem right for the job, nor does it even back up the reasons on why you should be supported.  Riley Heligo The Forgotten Sinner

Corkeyandpals
Hello all! This is MonkieBoi nominating Corkeyandpals for the videogamer staff position (Permission given here.) I have noticed he has done a big part in editing to this wiki, ESPECIALLY to the video game section. He is only a photographer, though. I feel he should be moved up to videogamer staff position because he dose a lot more than photos of the video game. --Some monkey (talk) 17:41, May 7, 2015 (UTC)

Despite being the one who nominated him, I give support. Some monkey (talk) 14:33, May 9, 2015 (UTC)

I'm quoting Kaley on this. Please refer to your talk page. MonkieBoi.

"It's allowed for you to nominate someone else for a position on the wiki, but they have to be informed about it and need to accept the nomination on the page in order for their requests to be completed.

I'm stressing, "and need to accept the nomination on the page in order for their requests to be completed." Corkey did say yes but then again he did not indicate it in this page that says "I accept the nomination." Till' then nobody should vote. I'm sorro.-- WalkerMaimer ( talk ) 09:57, May 16, 2015 (UTC)
