Linguistics Wiki:Administrators policy

The administrative community of the Linguistics Wiki may appoint administrators to perform such functions as deleting pages, editing and renaming policies, and making executive decisions. A registered user may be nominated to be made an administrator by an administrator adding the tag to the top of the user's user page. The administrator must then add a section in the at the bottom of the user's user page entitled 'Nomination for administration', and specify his/her reasons for nominating the user within the section, signing the end of the section. The administrator must then create a subsection entitled 'Discussion'. Within this subsection, users may state arguments for or against such an action, entitled 'Positive' or 'Negative' respectively. After a 12-hour time period, a subsection entitled 'Vote' must be created, and administrators may vote by creating sub-subsections entitled 'Positive' or 'Negative' respectively, signing within the content. After a 12-hour voting period, a subsection must be created entitled 'Voting result:Positive' or 'Voting result:Negative' respectively. If the result was positive, then the nomination tag must be replaced with the tag. If the result was negative, then the nomination tag must be removed. The bureaucrat appointing the user to be an administrator in the event of a positive vote must add the tag to the top of the user page.
