This is the requests for adminship page. If you wish to nominate yourself or another user to be an administrator, this is the place to apply. Other users may post comments for the requests below.

Nomination process

How to nominate

To nominate a user for promotion, add a level 3 header with their username (i.e. ===Name===) to the Nomination section below. The nominator should provide reasons for their nomination and sign with four tildes. Evocative poetry is encouraged but not mandatory. Other users can then review and comment on the user by adding bullet points below the initial nomination with Support, Oppose or Comment.

A nomination will always be archived once a Bureaucrat has pronounced judgement, unless it is a blatant troll nomination.

Minimum requirements

  • Average or higher wiki editing knowledge.
This means you have to have contributed regularly to some wiki (not necessarily this one).
  • Having started to contribute on SporeWiki (edits in fiction and content (as well as blog posts) are not taken too seriously).
  • Your first edit on SporeWiki should not be your application on this page.
  • Understandable, correct English (almost) all the time.
  • If u talk liek this, ur not rdy 2 bcome admin
  • Playing the game is nice, since you'll be editing and making decisions based on the game's content.
  • Be able to expand articles to make them more useful for the community.

Admin's job

Before nominating someone, or yourself, you must know what you're going into. An admin's job is:

  • Revert vandalism, warn and/or block vandals.
  • Move pages to correct pagenames, delete unnecessary redirects.
  • Have a strong voice when decisions have to be taken.
  • Participate in frequent discussions.
  • Have the final say in most arguments (unless one of your equals or superiors disagree).

Though these are the jobs expected of most admins, the only true responsibility coming with the admin powers is to not abuse them.
