Halopedia:Requests for adminship

Requests for Adminship, abbreviated as RfAs, are requests for users to be granted Administrator positions on Halopedia. As Halopedia's community size and article count grows, more Admins may be required to maintain its operation, as well as replace administrators who have become inactive.

Halopedia does not elect Sysops and Bureaucrats separately, instead any RfA that passes will grant a user both user rights, meaning that Halopedia Administrators have both abilities; being able protect, delete, and block pages and users as well as changing user rights for them.

RfAs can be closed early if current Administrators see that the candidate has little chance of success, but only an admin may do this. Requests may also be withdrawn at the request of the nominee or the person who nominated them.

Requirements before beginning an RfA

 * At least 2,000 total edits, including at least 1,000 main space edits
 * Having been a member of Halopedia for at least 3 months and having been active that entire time, or having been active for the three months prior to submitting the RfA.
 * No history of vandalism or abuse of Halopedia for the user in question, and no history of compromised accounts for the user in question.
 * No history of blocking on the basis of harassment or personal attacks.
 * Having held Rollback Rights for at least one month.
 * An available position for Administrator, defined by a current Admin being inactive (no edits to pages other than their own user talk page in over three months) or current Admins coming to a consensus that additional Admins are needed.

Procedures for submitting an RfA

 * The user will receive a nomination from another user who is an active member of Halopedia, or an administrator on the central wikia. This nomination will come in the form of a Forum post titled USERNAME RfA.
 * A current Admin will check the RfA before it can proceed. If the RfA does not meet the above requirements, it will be deleted and the administrator will inform the nominee why it can not proceed.
 * The community will be allowed to vote support, neutral, or against the nomination. The RfA will be open for at least two weeks while users submit their input. The nominee is fully encouraged, though not required, to publicly respond to any criticisms to allow differences to be sorted out.
 * The final result of the voting will determine the next step.
 * If there are few/no "against" votes which raise significant questions about the user's character or history, the RfA will pass after a two week period and at least 25-30 users in support.
 * If there are multiple unresolved issues with the user's character or history, the RfA will continue for longer until the questions are either satisfiably resolved, or an overwhelming majority of users still support the RfA.
 * In voting RfAs, the rule Halopedia is not a democracy applies. This means discussion will carry more weight than simple voting majorities, and users must submit their signatures in addition to their views to allow due process and prevent voting fraud.
