Fallout Wiki:Administrators and moderators

	For the rules which govern administrative actions on Fallout Wiki, see Fallout Wiki:Administration policy. For the chat rules, see Fallout Wiki:Chat.

 

There are six kinds of users with additional powers on Nukapedia - chat moderators, patrollers, discussion moderators, content moderators, administrators and bureaucrats.

• Patrollers have the power to roll back edits with just one click and mark edits as patrolled.
• Interwiki are users that mainly or only add interwiki links. To avoid unnecessarily clogging of the patrol log, their edits are automatically patrolled.
• Chat moderators have the power to ban users from chat.
• Discussion moderators have the power to remove posts on the discussions board. Some also have chat moderation duties, and patroller duties.
• Content Moderators have the powers of a patroller, and can protect articles, delete articles and delete/rename files.
• Administrators have the power to - in addition to the powers of a moderator - delete pages, protect pages and ban users from the wiki.
• Bureaucrats differ from regular administrators in that bureaucrats can give and revoke other people's administrative powers.

User rights requests

For you to become an administrator, chat moderator or patroller, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one.

Please note that the additional user rights are not a reward for good contributions nor a promotion to have more authority than other users. Simply put, a special rights user is a user who is being trusted with access to certain technical features to aid in article or community maintenance.

Not everybody who meets the requirements will automatically become a special rights user, they are appointed on a per-need basis.

Making the request

If you meet the requirements above and want to become an administrator, content, chat or discussions moderator, then you need to start a thread in Forum:Wiki proposals and applications titled Chat Moderator Request – [your username] or Adminship Request - [your username]. In this thread, you should describe why you would like to become a moderator or admin and what your major contributions have been thus far.

For the position of discussions moderator or chat moderator, you also need – in addition to the edit (chat only) and activity requirement – an endorsement from an active administrator or chat moderator. This is as simple as having one of the aforementioned users openly support your prospect of applying and signing your application when it’s posted on the forum. An unsigned application for chat moderator will not be passed.

When your application has been posted, Nukapedia's community will be able to discuss whether or not you should be made moderator or admin over a timespan of at least one week (or more in case of controversy). All users who take part in any formal wiki vote are encouraged to post an at-least-basic rationale explaining why their vote was cast the way it is. In addition, administrators reserve the right to require voters' rationales for voting on certain polls, if and only if they feel a necessity. The final decision will be up to the bureaucrat(s) after the community has had its say.

In contrast to the other role requests, patroller rights do not require a community vote. If you wish to apply for patroller, and you meet the requirements, just write an application and leave it on a bureaucrat's talk page. They will then decide whether you have earned patroller rights or not. Bureaucrats are also allowed to give out patroller rights based on their own judgment and without users having to ask for them.

Voting

Requirements for those wishing to vote for the request are that they must have a registered account, and have made at least one edit or discussions post prior to the start of the vote.
