Max & the Midknights Wiki:Promotion Policies

Welcome to the Promotion Policies Page.

Important Note: Promotions may no longer be given out in competitions unless if it is considered a "Wikipossible" event or a "mega-event."

To become any staff member, you must be over 13 or over. If you live in the EU or in Californa, USA then you must be 16 or over.


 * To have a chance at becoming a Rollback, you MUST have 800+ edits, 300 achievement points and have a good understanding of how to create/edit pages and rollback bad edits.. There can only be 3 rollbacks in staff.


 * To have a chance at becoming a Thread Moderator, you MUST have 1000+ edits, 500 achievement points, 1 month on the wiki and have a good understanding of appropriate and inappropriate comments and how to use the moderator tools in the discussion threads and discussions area. There can only be 3 discussions moderators in staff.


 * To have a chance at becoming a Content Moderator, you MUST have 2000+ edits, 1000 achievement points, 2 months on the wiki and be able to have a knowledge of how to create/delete content, and what content is acceptable or inappropriate. There can only be 2 content moderators in staff.


 * To have a chance at becoming an Administrator, you MUST have 3000+ edits, 2000+ achievement points and 3 months on the wiki. There can only be 3 administrators.


 * To have a chance at becoming a Tech Op, you MUST have 3200+ edits, 2250+ achievement points 4 months on the wiki, and have a good understanding of media, CSS, and JavaScript. It is recommended you apply while you are an administrator, but your chances increase if you are in a forum group that makes codes. There can only be 1 tech op in staff.


 * To have a chance at becoming a Bureaucrat, you must have 3000+ edits you MUST already have Community Administrator rights and prove that you can monitor a wiki. There can only be 3 bureaucrats in staff.

Admins (and possibly mods) are the only people allowed to promote. Therefore, Non-Staff members and Discussion moderators cannot promote either.

A user may make an application by making a blog post, requesting any staff position and telling why they deserve that position. (The user requesting may be a normal user or a staff member trying for another rank.)

If the user makes an application and an admin approves of it, a thread in the forums is created where staff members either support or object the application by using these templates:.

If the application wins with the majority supporting the application, the user is promoted to the respective user group.

Notes:
 * Your chances of winning the rank are more slimmer if many of your edits are based off of forum or chat activity.
 * Try to have at least 50% of your edits be on articles.
 * A staff member may propose a staff rank for another user, so long as the rank is not higher than both the proposer and the proposed.

Staff Ranks Scale

 * 1) Bureaucrat/Admincrat
 * 2) Administrator/Tech Op
 * 3) Content Moderator
 * 4) Chat Moderator/Discussions Moderator

''By applying for user rights, you will be dubbed liable for rejecting reviews by anyone who objects to your application. Thus, we recommend you to remain calm and straight if you are rejected by comments that you might consider dejecting.''

''User rights will no longer be given during competitions that reward players with user rights. Such as Operation: Wikipossible III.''

Good luck 🍀!

(Asking more than once a week will simply result in a 3 day ban.)

(Rollbacks rights can be given, with the function of users being an “intern” of the staff so they can learn and experience of what it is like to be in staff, without having too many rights.)

Tips

 * Badge/achievement points is not the best source of telling why you should be promoted, as new badges have been added overtime, giving new users an advantage, which will no longer be used.
