The Vault:Administrators

From The Vault

For the rules which govern administrative actions on The Vault, see The Vault:Administration policy.
Shortcut:
VA:ADMIN

There are two kinds of administrators in The Vault - regular admins and bureaucrats. The only difference between administrators and bureaucrats is that bureaucrats can give and revoke other people's administrative powers.

Admin powers include deleting pages, protecting pages and banning users. For details, please see Help:User access levels.

Becoming an administrator

Shortcut:
VA:RFA

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. The minimum requirements for becoming an administrator are 500 edits in the article, category or template namespace (i.e. talk page, blog and forum contributions do not count) as well as a continued activity of at least 3 months at this wiki. The above requirements do not need to be fulfilled if you're already an active administrator on one of The Vault's sister sites.

If you meet these requirements and want to become an admin, you need to start a thread in Forum:Wiki general discussion titled "Adminship request - [your username]", where members of The Vault community will be able to discuss whether or not you should be made admin. In the thread, say why you think you should be made one. The final decision will be up to the bureaucrat(s) after the community has its say.

Please note that administratorship is not a reward for good contributions nor a promotion to have more authority than other users. Simply put, an admin is a user who is being trusted with access to certain technical features to aid in maintenance. Not everybody who meets the requirements will automatically become an administrator; admins are appointed on a per-need basis.
