<p>bot edit - &gt; fixing red links made by deleted page or typos</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Suspended policy proposal}}<br /> <br /> New proposal [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Adminship 2009-11-13|AdminProposalDraft4]]<br /> ----<br /> Guild Wars 2 Wiki is administered by the community. New [[Project:administrators|administrators]] are selected by a democratic process in the Guild Wars 2 Wiki. There are two levels of adminship: [[#Sysops|sysop]] and [[#Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]].<br /> <br /> == Administration and [[ArenaNet]] ==<br /> ArenaNet is not formally involved in the administrator selection process. Community decisions may not be appealed to them. ArenaNet staff may participate in the administrator selection process just as any other contributor in good standing, but their opinions are given equal weight as other members of the community.<br /> <br /> == Sysops ==<br /> {{shortcut box|[[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Practices and processes#Sysops|GW2W:SYSOP]]}}<br /> Sysops are administrators who perform cleanup tasks (deleting pages, undoing page move vandalism), can block accounts and IP addresses according to the rules of the Guild Wars 2 Wiki [[Project:policy|policy]] as well as a more general Administrative role of attempting to ensure a high level of professionalism on the Wiki while also keeping the Wiki as user-friendly as possible. Sysops also protect critical or unusually contentious pages from editing. Sysops, once promoted, are considered completely autonomous and may thusly utilize their powers as they see fit provided they fall within scope of existing policy. While this may seem dangerous, several established wikis such as Guildwiki and Wikipedia are a testament to the effectiveness of this system. Sysops are expected (but not required) to provide a publicly reachable e-mail address or other means of private contact.<br /> <br /> Sysops are selected by a review process based on nominations. New nominations may be made by any contributor in good standing, and nominators may nominate any contributor in good standing, including themselves. The nomination is reviewed for a fixed period of time, after which a [[#About bureaucrat|bureaucrat]] will assess the community consensus and appoint the nominee if the consensus is in favor. <br /> <br /> Sysops are appointed for life, but may voluntarily resign. Their status may also be formally examined by the [[#Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]].<br /> <br /> To start a new nomination, see [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Requests for adminship]].<br /> <br /> == Bureaucrats ==<br /> {{shortcut box|[[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Practices and processes#Bureaucrats|GW2W:RFB]]}}<br /> Bureaucrats are simply sysops with the added responsibility of appointing user rights as appropriate. As such, they are capable of promoting any other user to sysop, bureaucrat, or bot&lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/small&gt;, or removing the same rights.<br /> <br /> For a system-generated list of sysops, see [[Special:Listadmins/sysop]].<br /> <br /> &lt;!--== Contacting an admin ==<br /> <br /> Needs moar tables. I fail at making tables. Something with a column for the user (with a link to their user page), their talk page, their contact addresses if they want to add it in, and where they live (again, optional). If possible, the templates from PvX worked very well as we could move any one person&#039;s data up or down the list easily and easily edit the information. --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/small&gt;Bot status is used to allow a user-created program to be run (traditionally on a second account) and edit large numbers of pages in a short span of time. It is possible to remove these edits from [[Special:Recentchanges|the list of Recent Changes]].<br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Category: Suspended policy proposals]]</div>
