Your administrators do a great deal of work to maintain this site. Not only are they regular contributors to the Family Guy Wiki, but they also have additional responsibilities, such as reversing vandalism, maintaining various aspects of the site, and working on site publicity.

Due to the fairly stable nature of this particular wiki, promotion is rare, but not unheard of.

New administrators are selected when the need arises, based on current activity and usefulness of edits. Changes just for the sake of increasing edit count including unneeded 'standardization' are discouraged. 'Useful edits' include spelling and punctuation where needed, locating obscure facts, interesting quotes and updating/maintaining pages such as Fourth wall. Candidates should also have a good knowledge of our editing guide. Depending on the infraction, previous bans are not an automatic disqualifier for consideration.

Administrator conduct

Administrators have been entrusted with the means to maintain the overall quality of the site. With this in mind, an administrator is expected to:

  • be friendly, welcoming, and helpful to others
  • be a capable and constructive contributor to the wiki
  • be open and welcoming in their communication and respond to messages on their wall in a reasonably timely manner
  • address disruption on the wiki by other users, including breaches of civility.

In addition to following the code of conduct, an administrator must not:

  • act like they own the site. Family Guy Wiki belongs to the community, and administrators are the protectors of the community.
  • abuse their administrator privileges to censor or otherwise unfairly inhibit reasonable discussion.
  • misapply or selectively apply the code of conduct in their moderating role.

While administrators are not above regular users in terms of importance, they should be aware that their status makes role models out of them, and they should carry themselves accordingly. It should also be noted that admins are editors themselves and will act in the best interest of the wiki.

Removal of rights

If it is believed that privileges are being abused by an administrator, the following process should be applied.

  1. Communicate with them. Try to talk it out and come to an agreement.
  2. If attempts at communication fail, bring this to the attention of another administrator and/or bureaucrat to mediate. In absence thereof, reach out to the assigned Wiki Representative or Fandom Staff.
  3. Removal of admin rights will be considered by an active bureaucrat. If a decision to remove admin rights is taken, detailed reasoning with reference to local policies or Fandom's Terms of Use must be provided in order to satisfy a standard of accountability. One or more of the following must be shown:
    • Sustained, deliberate misuse of the privileges given
    • Sustained failure to follow the conduct guidelines

Administrators should remain active to assist the wiki. In cases of prolonged inactivity, removal of user rights may be considered by an active bureaucrat based on the needs of the community.

Becoming an administrator

New administrators are selected based on a necessity for the community. Taking wiki activity and general need for moderation into account, an active bureaucrat will decide when nominations for adminship are accepted. Any community member that meets the requirements to nominate can send an active bureaucrat a motivated request to open the nomination page.

Nomination requirements

To become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat rights must make you one. While the final decision to give someone adminiship rights belongs to the bureaucrat, the community can get involved by nominating good candidates with the aforementioned administrator conduct code in mind:

  • Nominators, nominees, and commenters need to have made a minimum of 50 edits in a regular fashion and have been consistently active for at least two weeks prior to the date of the nomination.
  • When an opening is posted, anyone, including administrators and bureaucrats, meeting the involvement requirement can nominate themselves or someone else to become an administrator on Family Guy Wiki.
  • Any nomination must be accompanied by a logical, reasonable statement in line with the requirements for adminship, detailing why they would be a good fit for admin.
    • It is the responsibility of the nominator to ensure compliance.
    • Unless they are later clarified in an acceptable way, non-complying nominations will be rejected by an administrator or bureaucrat without notice.
  • Nominations may be critiqued or discussed underneath the nomination at any time in a civil and reasonable manner. Community members may ask nominees any questions they may have.
    • Critiques without proper reasoning or unconstructive comments will be discarded.
  • Community members have 2 weeks to comment on a nomination before an active bureaucrat will make a decision.
    • This period starts immediately in the case of a self-nomination, or after the acceptance of the nomination.

Receiving the rights

Two weeks after the nomination was made/accepted, an active bureaucrat will make the final call, but they will need to take the well-reasoned support/oppose comments into account. When going against the majority decision of the community, the bureaucrat needs to detail why, with reference to the administrator requirements and general wiki policies.
