User blog:Jessie1010/New Admin(s) Search!



Hey everyone it's Jessie1010, the head admin at the Austin & Ally Wiki! As the Austin & Ally Wiki begins to go through renovations, our admin team will be going though some  too! Yup, we are officially looking for new admins!



A admin (administrator) is a user who helps run the wiki. The admins keep the wiki in order and maintain it. Admins have the ability to delete pages, block users, lock pages, change the wiki skin, and more! We enforce the rules and make sure the wiki is a fun, safe place to be! We also make BIG decisions for the wiki! It's a really fun job but requires A LOT of reponsibility, skills, time, and effort.



How to become an admin? It is pretty simple! You MUST fill out an application and submit it to to an admin, which will be me! :D Anyone can apply for adminship, but please see the requirements below so that you will know exactly what we are looking for.

You have two options of sending in your applications. You can send it through here, which is my preferred way of recieving your application or you can send it to me on my message wall.



There are a few requirements for adminship. You do not have to fullfil all of the requirements but it is much preferred that you do. Anyone who lacks the requirements will have a less likely chance to be considered for adminship. Here are some of the things we look for in an admin: We are looking for 3-5 new admins!
 * You must have 500 to 2,000 article edits. The more the better. We will be checking your edits to make sure they are sufficient. Please check the edit count page with your username.
 * You have to have been on the wiki for at least  2 months.
 * We prefer for you to have admin experience or some type of responsibility experience. (admin experience is not a requirement but we highly prefer it).
 * You must be under the age of 19. To prevent pedophiles, we stick with only child administrators.
 * A great attitude!
 * A hardworker
 * A cooperative person
 * A creative user
 * Users who specialize/know CSS
 * Users who can come on daily or a few times a week
 * Users who can responsibly handle problems quickly and easily



Now it is time for the applications! To even be considered for adminship you must submit an application! Please use the format below to fill out the application as best as you can and as much as you can.

Name: (Who are you, please state your username)

Introduction: (Introduce yourself! Tell us about yourself, why you want to become admin, what you know about adminship, anything like that.)

Work ethic: (What is your work ethic? Do you work well with others? How do you work? Tell us as much as you can about your working style)

Specialty/Skills: (What are your specialties? What can you do? List any skills you have that will benefit you as an admin)

Admin experience: (List any admin experience you have. List the wikis you are/were admin on.)

Reccomendations: (This is a big part of the application. We are looking for just an admin reccomendation from a few users (for you), only has to be about two or more sentences. You can ask any user if they could write a reccomendation for you and you can send it with the application. We strongly prefer that the reccomendations are from users you have worked with before such as co-admins. Please send in at least two reccomendations and at most six.)

Other: (Tell us any other information you would like us to know. What are your goals for the wiki? What can you bring to the wiki? Anything!)

We are allowing you to format your applications anyway you want, just make sure it is neat and easy to understand. If we get a messy application, we will ask you to redo it.

There is currently no due date as to when the applications are due. Just please try to get them in as quickly as possible. This process will take a while and we strongly would appreciate your cooperation.

You will be notified when your application has been recieved. If you wish to ever make any changes to your application, you will be allowed to do so. You can always submit a new application.

After all applications are recieved and we close the submissions, the current admins will go through each one. We will be choosing a few users to interview in chat. If you are not asked to be interviewed, that is totally ok! We set up interviews to learn more about one and ask them further questions. However, if you are asked to be interviewed, it is not bad at all! :)

Once all interviews are over and done with, the admins will decide our next step. We most likely will do a public voting. Keep in mind that we are looking for 3-5 new admins, so we will be taking more than one person.

That's it! I can't wait to recieve all of your amazing applications! Again to submit your application you can either send it through here, which is my preferred way of recieving your application or you can send it to me on my message wall. Thank you so much everybody! Ciao!
