About RfB

Bureaucrats are administrators with the additional ability to make other users admins or bureaucrats, based on community decisions reached here. They can also set bot status on an account.

The process for bureaucrats is similar to that for adminship above; however the expectation for promotion to bureaucratship is significantly higher than for admin, generally requiring a clearer consensus. Bureaucrats are expected to determine consensus in difficult cases and be ready to explain their decisions.

To nominate a user for Bureaucratship, simply create a new RfB page as you would for an RfA (using the template here, then add a link in the section below. New bureaucrats are recorded at StrategyWiki:Successful promotions. Failed nominations are at StrategyWiki:Unsuccessful promotions.

-'''Requests for promotion''' ('''RfP''') is the process by which the StrategyWiki community decides who become [[StrategyWiki:Administrators|administrators]] (also known as admins or sysops), who are users with access to additional technical features that aid in [[:Category:Maintenance|maintenance]]. A user either submits his/her own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user. Please be familiar with the the few [[:Category:Enforced policies|enforced policies]] and understand [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Vandalism the nature of vandalism] before submitting your request.
+ATTENTION: Your nomination will be considered "malformed" and may be reverted if you do not follow the instructions at http://strategywiki.org/wiki/StrategyWiki:Requests_for_promotion/Nominate. -->

-==About RfA==
-The community will grant administrator status only to trusted users who understand policy. Therefore, nominees should have been on StrategyWiki long enough for people to determine whether they're trustable and knowledgeable about policy. Administrators are held to high standards of conduct, as they are often perceived as the "official face" of StrategyWiki.
-;Nomination standards
+<!-- Please place new nominations for adminship at the top. -->
-:There are no official prerequisites for adminship, other than having an account and having a basic level of trust from other editors. The only major consideration for whether a user should become an administrator is evidence of how the user will use administrator tools.  Since users can't use the tools before they receive this status, their actions made towards performing administrative functions even without the tools to expediate it are looked upon.
-;Decision process
+==About RfB==
-:Any user may nominate another user. Self-nominations are permitted. If you are unsure about nominating yourself for adminship, you may wish to talk to a [[StrategyWiki:Administrators|current admin]] first. Nominations remain posted for seven days from the time the nomination is posted on this page, during which time users give their opinions, ask questions, and make comments. At the end of that period, a [[StrategyWiki:Administrators|bureaucrat]] will review the discussion to see whether there is a consensus for promotion. The numbers of people supporting, opposing, or expressing another opinion on a candidacy are a significant factor in determining consensus, but a request for adminship is '''''not''''' a ballot.
+Bureaucrats are administrators with the additional ability to make other users admins or bureaucrats, based on community decisions reached here. They can also set bot status on an account.
-:Bureaucrats may also use their discretion to close nominations early, if a promotion is unlikely and they see no further benefit in leaving the application open. Only bureaucrats may close a nomination as a definitive promotion, but any user in good standing can close a request that has no chance of passing; please don't close any requests that you have taken part in. In the case of vandalism, improper formatting or a declined or withdrawn nomination, non-bureaucrats may also de-list a nomination, but they should make sure they leave a note with the candidate.
-:In exceptional circumstances, bureaucrats extend RfAs beyond seven days or restart the nomination so as to make consensus clearer. If your nomination fails, please wait a reasonable period of time before renominating yourself or accepting another nomination.
+The process for bureaucrats is similar to that for adminship above; however the expectation for promotion to bureaucratship is significantly higher than for admin, generally requiring a clearer consensus. Bureaucrats are expected to determine consensus in difficult cases and '''be ready to explain their decisions'''.
-;Expressing opinions
+To nominate a user for Bureaucratship, simply create a new RfB page as you would for an RfA (using the template [[StrategyWiki:Requests for promotion/Nominate#Bureaucratship|here]], then add a link in the section below. New bureaucrats are recorded at [[StrategyWiki:Successful promotions]]. Failed nominations are at [[StrategyWiki:Unsuccessful promotions]].
-:Any StrategyWikian with an account is welcome to comment in the Support, Oppose and Neutral sections, except for the candidate (who may respond to the comments of others).  Always be respectful towards others in your comments.
-==Nominating==
+==Current nominations for bureaucratship==
-Nominations must be accepted by the user in question. If you wish to nominate a user, contact them first before making the nomination page. If they accept, create the nomination and ask them to sign their acceptance. To nominate either yourself or another user for adminship, [[StrategyWiki:Requests for promotion/Nominate|follow the instructions on this page]].
