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.
  
== Applying ==
+
==Requirements==
Staff members are generally expected to meet the following standards:
+
To apply for staff, your account must meet the following requirements:
* Knowledgeable of editing Nookipedia and our policies.
+
*Your account must be at least '''two months old'''.
* Willing and able to communicate with and help users in a courteous manner.
+
*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.
* Fairly active.
 
  
Any editor can apply or nominate other users (with their permission). 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.  
+
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.
  
It is suggested that non-staff apply for the [[Nookipedia:Patroller|Patroller]] position. All applications are considered by the current staff, who offer input and support/opposition. Non-staff users can also provide input in the ''Comments'' section, which may be considered in the final decision. A week after an application is submitted, a [[Nookipedia:Director|Director]], [[Nookipedia:Bureaucrat|Bureaucrat]], or [[Nookipedia:Administrator|Administrator]] will determine the consensus of the vote and discussion (or extend the time period if needed). If your application fails, don't be discouraged! Take any advice into mind, and re-apply after a bit of time when you think you're ready again.
+
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==
 +
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.
  
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.
+
== Nominations ==
 +
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:
  
:<code>{{subst:StaffApplication</code><br>
+
*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).
:<code>|Username = <Enter Username Here></code><br>
+
*Staff members may nominate any user for a staff position, regardless of whether they meet the criteria or not.
:<code>|Position = <Enter Desired Position in Staff></code><br>
 
:<code>|Nomination = <Enter a few words on yourself or the user you are applying, then sign></code><br>
 
:<code>}}</code>
 
  
== Applications ==
+
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.

I check back often and love editing. I always review everything I post and look for new things to add on stubs and wikis under construction.
+
== Applying ==
 +
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.

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 [[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). 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.

I'm one of the patrollers at Zelda Wiki and I'd like to support this wiki and perhaps provide some obligational relief by serving as staff. I haven't been here long, but I have no issue finding my way through a wiki or finding what could use some improvement. You're welcome to [[ZeldaWiki:Special:Contributions/Pakkun|review my contributions at Zelda Wiki]] if it helps. [[User:Pakkun|Pakkun]] 07:04, 26 November 2012 (EST)

====Comments====
 
*I'll be happy to support before the end of the app's duration once I see a little bit of activity throughout the week (even just a few edits), just to ensure activity. I have no doubt you'd be a great staff member, and even though I see a great editor at ZeldaWiki, I'm uneasy with giving someone a staff position here when they have 0 edits to Nookipedia, for the sake of fairness. In my mind, work on another wiki can definitely be a factor to become a staff member, but can't be the primary and only justification. <small>Conspiracy: SuperHamster's clever ploy of getting more edits to the wiki.</small> <b>~<i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#07517C">Super</font>]]</i>[[User:SuperHamster|<font color="#6FA23B">Hamster</font>]]</b> <small>[[User talk:SuperHamster|Talk]]</small> 20:14, 26 November 2012 (EST)

He knows how to give constructive criticism, and I've seen this trait in about the 800 edits of mine that he has patrolled throughout my time on ZW. He would get my support for patroller on any wiki. --[[User:XXSuperXXNintendoXx|XXSuperXXNintendoXx]] 18:39, 26 November 2012 (EST)

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

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

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

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

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.
