The '''Administrators''' are users with extra privileges, such as the rollback feature, the ability to protect pages, block certain users, delete and merge pages, or edit the MediaWiki namespace. See [[Wikia:Help:User access levels|Wikia's User access levels]] for more information.

Those wishing admin status should plead their case here under a separate section. If you think someone deserves admin status, you can nominate them, but admin status will not be granted unless the person accepts the nomination. Voting can take place any time after the nomination/self-nomination, and the period can last up to two weeks, unless there is an oppose vote.

Currently, requests for adminship are '''closed'''.

Currently, potential administrators must have a unanimous vote of at least three users. A week after the third support vote is placed, a bureaucrat should be contacted in order to officially give administrator privileges to the user. If no vote is placed two weeks after a nomination, then the discussion is closed and the user is taken off of the nominations list and placed at [[DC Animated Universe:Administrators/Archive]].

A user may be re-nominated a month after the previous nomination failed.

Support votes from users with less than two weeks experience should also be stricken, however a reason is not always necessary. The format for a request posting is included in the source code.

Requests for Administratorship

Currently, requests for adminship are closed.

Requirements

There are no concrete requirements for a user to be an admin. However, admins will usually:

  • Have a very strong history of contributions (including the content namespace), though quality is more important than quantity.
  • Be trusted by the community.
  • Have no history of serious blocks due to vandalism or sockpuppetry.

Procedures

  • Users must have 50 edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to vote or nominate.
  • Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of RfA and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
  • Users must have rollback rights to be nominated for adminship.

Stage 1: Nominating

  1. Users can nominate themselves for adminship. If users are nominated by another user, then the nominated user has to accept the nomination.
  2. Users may not nominate each other (e.g. A can't nominate B and B nominate A in the same RfA)
  3. There will only be one request at a time. A decision will be made on the current request (change/no change) before the next request is considered.

Stage 2: Voting

  1. Users may vote in support, be neutral, or oppose the adminship nomination. Users must provide a reason behind their position.
  2. Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
  3. The vote will last for two weeks.
  4. Bureaucrats may close votes early at their discretion if the applicant is obviously unsuitable with no chance of succeeding. Voters may also request this if they believe the applicant has no chance of succeeding.
  5. At the end of the two weeks, the active Bureaucrat will determine whether consensus has been reached. This means that admin requests require at least a two-thirds support rate to pass. Strength of argument is more important than the number of votes.
