Welcome to Nookipedia's '''Staff Application''' page! Nookipedia is always looking for active and experienced editors to become a part of its [[Nookipedia:Staff|staff]], who are granted a few extra tools to aid in the maintenance of the wiki. If you feel that you or another editor is ready to become a staff member or be promoted to higher staff position, please follow the application instructions below.

==Requirements==
 +
To apply for staff, your account must meet the following requirements:
 +
*Your account must be at least '''two months old'''.
 +
*You must have made at least '''200 mainspace edits''' since you joined. This only includes edits in the 'Article' namespace; other edits do not count.
  
Before applying, you '''must''' meet the following criteria:
+
While not required for an application, a verified email address is required before a user can be promoted to staff. If a verified email is not added within 30 days of a successful application, the application will be rendered null and the user will not become staff.
 +
*''For Administrators applying for Bureaucrat'': While not required for an application, [[Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] is required before a user can be promoted to Bureaucrat. If it is not enabled within 30 days of a successful application, the application will be rendered null and the user will not be promoted.
  
*You must have had an account on the wiki for at least two months.
+
Additionally, users cannot apply for staff or promotion if they have:
*You must have made at least 200 mainspace edits since you joined. This only includes edits in the 'Article' namespace. Edits in other namespaces do not count.
+
*Had an unsuccessful application in the past 60 days.
*If you post an application and it turns out to be unsuccessful, you must wait at least 60 days, starting from the date the application was closed, before you may apply again.
+
*Been promoted in the past 60 days.
  
Failure to meet the above criteria will result in your application being removed on sight. There is, however, one exception detailed below.
+
==Standards==
 
 
*In addition, although not required at the time of application, Nookipedia staff members must have a verified e-mail address attached to their account. If an e-mail address is not added and verified within 7 days of promotion, your staff permissions will be temporarily revoked until an e-mail is verified. However, it is not mandatory (but nevertheless recommended) to have notifications enabled or allow other users to e-mail you.

Non-staff must first apply for the [[Nookipedia:Patrollers|Patroller]] position. A user must first be a Patroller to apply for [[Nookipedia:Administrators|Administrator]], and one must first be an Administrator to apply for [[Nookipedia:Bureaucrat|Bureaucrat]]. Users who were previously Administrators or Bureaucrats and resigned from their position or were [[Nookipedia:Staff demotion policy|demoted]] due to inactivity may apply directly for their former position.
  
It is suggested that non-staff apply for the [[Nookipedia:Patroller|Patroller]] position. All valid applications are considered by the current staff, who offer input and support/opposition. Non-staff users can also provide input in the ''Comments'' section. A week after an application is submitted, a [[Nookipedia:Director|Director]] or [[Nookipedia:Bureaucrat|Bureaucrat]] will determine the consensus of the vote (in order for an application to be successful, there must be at least 65% support). If your application fails, though, don't be discouraged! Take any advice into mind, and re-apply (after at least 60 days) when you think you're ready again.

|Nomination = I am a very active user here on nookipedia. I edit with my best intend, and always try my best to make the wiki better. I have {{Special:Editcount/Acnh Player}} edits, with {{Special:Editcount/Acnh Player/Mainspace}} edits in mainspace. I always have a positive attitude. I have uploaded a bunch of images and included them to pages that need them. If I become part of the staff, I will help contribute even better, assist users, and patrol other's edits. Since there are only a few active patrollers on Nookipedia today, I believe that nookipedia will become a better wiki, if I, Acnh Player, become a patroller here. I believe that Nookipedia should be a great place with many, happy editors. I also play animal crossing every day, and I know a lot about it.

*While I appreciate your determination in improving the wiki, your edits so far have had several issues, and the staff regularly have to either undo or correct your edits. Many of these issues have been pointed out to you on your talk page. I strongly recommend carefully going over those messages and working to improve your own edits before considering becoming a staff member.

**But, the last many edits, which was adding images to pages, was ''very'' constructive. Those edits weren't reverted by a staff.  Plus, the current patrollers are lacking activity.

*Premature application. I can appreciate the positive attitude and determination, but being a Patroller requires much more experience, and making edits that are largely free of issues over a longer period of time.

***The criteria is the minimum needed to apply. Meeting the criteria to apply doesn't necessarily mean you are ready for a staff position.

*I admire your dedication to Nookipedia, but I agree that you need more experience. Let me be clear that your edits are not ''bad'', but continue to require explanations, changes or corrections from staff. I think if you continue to provide edits that improve the wiki, you can become properly accustomed and knowledgeable about the standards here.<br/>Additionally, I am not sure why you would need to be a patroller anyway— it is not a mere badge of honor or status, but a set of tools granted to editors who stand to assist the wiki with them. You can be a constructive, respected editor without needing these specific abilities. (While the details differ there, I am fond of {{Wp|Wikipedia:Administrators|Wikipedia's analogy}} of wiki administrators to janitors: you get some special tools and keys to help out, but you also have to clean up after everyone else.)

* If you really want to be a patroller for Nookipedia one day, then you have to earn it. The amount of messages left by staff regarding your conduct plus the needlessly canvassing of staff to get in your favor and a contribution list that is small, yet not contributive. Even if you have the role bestowed upon you, it is a commitment that you have to do. You have to be responsible for the entire wiki, and I don't see you doing a good job with that role. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 04:43, April 14, 2024 (EDT)

* Going for a role such as patroller ''should'' mean that you make good quality edits and are able to add something to the staff team. While you do edit with good intentions, it is clear that you are not fit for the role, given the amount of clarifications on your talk page from other staff. Additionally, as Chubby Bub has stated already, becoming staff is not a requirement to be a good editor, and the patroller status should not be taken in the regard of a certificate. You shouldn't need to apply for a set of tools when you don't really need them. While you do meet the criteria, the criteria is also the bare minimum for becoming staff (and it has been discussed as being "too little" on this talk page). Exceeding these expectations would give you a higher chance at being accepted into the position. ~ [[User:Vivian|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:#6299c1">Vivian</span>]] [[User talk:Vivian|<span style="font-family:Coustard;color:#3a5fb1">(talk)</span>]]    [[File:Vivian Sig Pic.png|20px|link=Special:Contributions/Vivian]] 12:02, April 14, 2024 (EDT)

Welcome to Nookipedia's Staff Application page! Nookipedia is always looking for active and experienced editors to become a part of its staff, who are granted a few extra tools to aid in the maintenance of the wiki. If you feel that you or another editor is ready to become a staff member or be promoted to higher staff position, please follow the application instructions below.

Requirements[edit]

To apply for staff, your account must meet the following requirements:

  • Your account must be at least two months old.
  • You must have made at least 200 mainspace edits since you joined. This only includes edits in the 'Article' namespace; other edits do not count.

While not required for an application, a verified email address is required before a user can be promoted to staff. If a verified email is not added within 30 days of a successful application, the application will be rendered null and the user will not become staff.

  • For Administrators applying for Bureaucrat: While not required for an application, two-factor authentication is required before a user can be promoted to Bureaucrat. If it is not enabled within 30 days of a successful application, the application will be rendered null and the user will not be promoted.

Additionally, users cannot apply for staff or promotion if they have:

  • Had an unsuccessful application in the past 60 days.
  • Been promoted in the past 60 days.

Standards[edit]

Although not mandatory, it is also recommended that you show the following qualities and skills before applying, as this will give you a greater chance of success:

  • Knowledge of editing Nookipedia and our policies.
  • Willingness and ability to communicate with and help users in a courteous manner.
  • Being fairly active.

Nominations[edit]

Any editor can nominate other users for promotions. If nominating another user, you should discuss the nomination first and get their permission. Additionally, the following rules also apply:

  • Non-staff editors may only nominate users that meet the criteria detailed above (200 mainspace edits, two months since account creation, and no failed application in the last 60 days).
  • Staff members may nominate any user for a staff position, regardless of whether they meet the criteria or not.

Remember, becoming a staff member isn't a big deal—no user is higher than another, and being a member of staff simply means that you have been trusted with extra tools to help out with.

Applying[edit]

Non-staff must first apply for the Patroller position. A user must first be a Patroller to apply for Administrator, and one must first be an Administrator to apply for Bureaucrat. Users who were previously Administrators or Bureaucrats and resigned from their position or were demoted due to inactivity may apply directly for their former position.

All valid applications are considered by the current staff, who offer comments and a Support/Oppose vote. Non-staff users can also provide input in the Comments section. Seven days after an application is submitted, a Director or Bureaucrat will determine the consensus of the vote (in order for an application to be successful, there must be at least 65% support). An application must receive at least five total votes before a consensus can be determined; if five votes have not been cast after seven days, the application will be extended for another seven.

If your application fails, don't be discouraged! Take any advice into mind, and re-apply (after at least 60 days) when you think you're ready again.


If you think you or another user is ready to become a staff member or be promoted to another staff position, simply fill out the following template and paste it in the Applications section below.
