Ao no Exorcist Wiki:Administrators

Administrators are experienced members of the community who have been entrusted with access to restricted technical features ("tools") which help with maintenance. They are a small set of editors the wiki considers to be highly trustworthy, mature and responsible, able to lead by example.

Those seeking help will often turn to an administrator for advice and information. In community discussion and interaction, administrators may help provide a thoughtful voice in some kinds of consensus, and can also be helpful as discussion moderators. However, administrators words and votes do not carry more weight in any form of discussions on the site.

Currently we are not looking any new administrators. However, if you wish to be considered, or wish to nominate someone else, please plead your case here or here.

Administrator Conduct
Administrators have been entrusted with the means to maintain the overall quality of the site. With this in mind:
 * Administrators have been given their privileges to act as the leaders of the wiki. However, they do not have the right to change any policies without community discussion, except during or after cases that would require immediate attention.
 * Administrators have authority over behavioral problems such as vandalism or intimidation, hence the ability to block and delete.
 * Administrators do not own the site. They cannot shut out the opinions of others.
 * Abuse of administrator privileges may result in a removal of user rights after community discussion.

Administrator Noticeboard

 * For the most accurate times, you should [ refresh the page].

Inactivity
Administrators should remain active to assist the wiki, who has entrusted them with additional user rights.
 * An active status is defined as:
 * Continuing substantial contributions, defined as edits that do not include modifying user space pages, or correcting spelling/grammar/formatting.
 * A steady flow of such contributions, defined as editing on most days each month.
 * Reasonable speed in replying to Message Wall messages, defined as replying before the poster of the Message Wall message is forced to make an alternative consultation.
 * Administrators should alert the community to a leave of absence by adding the inactivity template to their user page. The administrator should also mark themselves as inactive on the list of administrators. Leaves of absence may be for any length up to two months.
 * If the Administrator continues to be inactive for a prolonged period of time, removal of user rights will be considered by the active bureaucrat(s). Consideration will begin from when any leaves of absence were meant to finish.
 * Before an Administrator is removed from office, at least one Administrator must be informed.

Becoming an Administrator
In general, the wiki should not have more than five administrators at one. However, users may at always nominate themselves for adminship so that they may be considered if a position ever opens. The Chairman/woman of the Policy & Standards Order, under certain circumstances, may have administrative powers but this is usually temporary.
