We need new admins!

Ladies and gentlement, we have reached a situation very much like last year; there are no longer anyone around with the authority to manage this wiki (and by manage, I mean be able to delete articles, ban vandals, uphold rules, etc.). While the former management system was more of a monarchi, we strive for a democratic solution, we therefore need a handful of people (3-6 to be more specific) who has the time, knowledge (both of Kingdom Hearts and of Wiki Markup), and will to become admins (sysops). If you think you fit the bill, then give me a heads up and we'll talk it over. And for those of you who don't make the cut (in case too many apply), no worries, any suggestions you make in the future will, of course, still be taken into consideration and your voice will still mean exactly as much as everyone elses ^_^ So, I hope to hear from any interested parties soon. --Hecko X 18:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Blue。 20:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC) Hey there, Hecko. I am newcomer to this Wiki and I would like to apply for the position of admin. My expertise are more towards FF, but I have completed Kingdom Hearts and CoM, and have been with my younger brother enough to know some bits of Kingdom Hearts II. But what is more important is the fact that I want to help cleanup the mess that this wiki has become. I want to learn to make a proper wiki so that I'll be able to organize another wiki properly. Hope you take this into consideration.
• BlueHighwind 20:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC) I'd love to be apart of a wiki that isn't all about idiot Forum threads being repeated over and over again. Plus its always been a dream of mine to ban at least one Vandal jerk. If you want credentials, I too am a Mod on the Final Fantasy Wiki, and I've played and beaten every Kingdom Hearts game ever made.
  • I don't have the pateince to hang around here anymore. Two minutes to load a page is bullshit. - BlueHighwind 21:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• Hexed 23:15, 19 December 2007 (UTC) Hey Hecko, I'd like to nominate myself for admin, I have completed Kingdom Hearts I&II and know general Wiki markup.
• Cloudofdarkness:I wouldn't mind the job, I completed KH2 with a 100%, and am leveling up enough to beat Kurt Zisa. And I have plenty of ideas.
• Nelo: WE STILL NEED MORE Admins, last time when I visited this site, some goddamm son of a bitch vandal messed up Roxas, Demyx, and Axel's, page. Since I don't have rollback rights, it gave me hell reverting it. Curse you all vandals, curese you all. If possible, I'd like to take the job.

Well, it would seem that we have a couple of able bodies ready to take on the job. But for all fairness sake, I'll wait before notifying Sannse, in case people didn't notice this topic, but want to apply.
(EDIT) I'm bumping the topic, so it doesn't get lost in the depths of the recent changes list. But if no one else applies, I'll notify Sannse of the current list, and in case more able people want to help out, we can take it as it comes. --Hecko X 13:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

• I would like to nominate myself for Admin too. I just fixed the forum, and would like to create templates for the site also :) -Azul 02:04, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

So is everyone happy that all those volunteering above should be admins? or would you rather vote on a few? You might also want to consider making some of you bureaucrats, so you can make your others admins in the future without having to come to staff... -- sannse<staff /> (talk) 17:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

So the final list of admin nominees are:

• Hecko X
• Bluerfn
• Hexedmagica
• Cloudofdarkness
• NeloAngelo
• Azul81677

We should vote? Or should I just pick....hehehe... Blue。 19:53, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

As things are right now, I don't think we have enough "regulars" to be able to make any kind of voting system work. Out of the five others, I've only regularly seen Blue make stuff from scratch in wiki-markup, but I'm pretty sure that Hexed and Azul usually go around fixing talk templates and other stuff on the FFWiki. I have no idea of what Nelo's skill level is, but I know that Cloud needs more practice, but if he sticks with it and learns the markup, then sure, one day. By the way, any word from... Jay(???) on the bottom banner thing messing up on IE? --Hecko X 20:55, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to help, and I'll do so if I can. But my schedule is somewhat uncertain since in 2008, I'll be starting secondary school. I don't really know but I've been told that I'll only have three subjects to deal with during the first three months, and if that is true, I should have a fair amount of free time, because seriously, my daily life consists of school, this computer and homework. But I'd need to know the problems first.TheSwordofDoubt 09:00, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Vote for Bureaucrats

OK, so how about this... we could make all 6 of you admins, and also two of you bureaucrats. We could have a quick vote here, with each person naming their top two choices for bureaucrat. I will be happy with the result if at least the six prospective admins vote, and very pleased if a few others do too. This could be more of a discussion than a vote if you like... what do you think? -- sannse<staff /> (talk) 21:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hexrezi NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3S1G4T1ON !! I guess that could work.

Yes, that would probably work. As for Bueaurcrats, I nominated myself and Blue, solely based on that I have to vote, and out of the six, we are the most experienced with wiki-markup and inner workings of a wikia. --Hecko X 03:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hexrezi NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3S1G4T1ON !! I set my vote for Bureaucrats as Hecko and Bluer, as they as far as I know are the most skilled in coding and wiki-markup out of all of the nominees

All right, then for Bureaucrates I vote for myself and Hecko, simply because both of us are more than interested to handle and maintain the wiki, and both have knowledge on the wikia works. Blue。 23:52, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I vote Blue and Hecko :) -Azul 03:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

We're waiting for Nelo and Cloud's vote, though by right we already have a majority. Someone should notify them of this. Blue。 22:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I vote Blue and Azul, no pun intended. Cloudofdarkness

I personally think that we do not need that many admins. Six is too much. Even in the FFWiki we only have an active four. I think four is just enough. Two bureaucrats and two sysops is more than enough. Blue。 23:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

By that he means four active sysops, two of whom are also bureaucrats, not two of each. Just so there aren't any misunderstandings along the way... --Hecko X 23:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

What about mods? The people who aren't admined or whatever, can they be moderators? Just throwing it out there. -Azul 00:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Nelo:Blue and Hecko.

We need all the help we can get for this wiki, so more admins, the better, and yeah, two Bureaucrats, even though I don't know the differnce. Cloudofdarkness 03:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I doubt that. Even without being an admin, an editor can edit all pages as necessary. Admins are involved on more technical issues, while bureaucrats have the capability to choose admins. Moderators can rollback changes when needed. If FFWiki managed with just four admins at its helm, why won't KHWiki? Srsly, we can do this with just seven, all we need to do is be here constantly to discuss changes. Blue。 03:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you mean that you'll let us all be admins without starting a fuss, cuz' these people get worked up easily (looks at Hecko). And i'm most likely the youngest of us all, I'm 12. Cloudofdarkness 04:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Has Everyone Voted? It's obvious Hecko and Blue are the bureaucrats, with that being said Blue who are your two choices of Admins/Syops? -Azul 04:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Haven't voted, Azul, but I know it doesn't matter. And I'm about as young as CloudofDarkness.TheSwordofDoubt 05:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure it does. Admins are decided by the community and since ours isn't that big we need everyone to vote :) -Azul 05:34, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Now that you mention the community, where are the rest of the users/contributors? Faethin 05:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Looks like the "community" consists of FFWiki editors. -Azul 05:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Nelo:EDIT CONFLICT' Speaking of admins, It's better to choose those who edits from neutral point of view, most the previous editors here are somewhat "obsessed".

Vote for Admins & Mods

All right. We've voted for Bureaucrats. I would think the rest should now vote on who would better be admins and who would become moderators. I won't vote in this one, I'd like you guys to pick two of the admin nominees, aside from me and Hecko who you would want to be admins. The rest will be moderators. You can vote for yourself, of course, but be honest. Blue。 10:10, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Hexrezi NO 1 C4NT S33 YOU DUMB4SS BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3S1G4T1ON !! I vote for myself and Nelo.
