That doesn't say ANYTHING about how to even become an administrator. the only reason I went on that page was for that. [[Image:M&LBIS Sergeant Guy.png|50px]]{{User|Hyper Guy}}[[Image:M&LBIS Sergeant Guy.png|50px]]

I am posting here because the link from the edit page told me to contact the people on this page.  I don't have much Mario knowledge but am happy to fix links, clean up phrasing, standardize punctuation, and other edits that require no specialized knowledge, and I think that's still a valid contribution.  If you must use a CAPTCHA, please do the standard skewed picture of text.  It feels not only a bit trying but also somewhat exclusionary requiring that editors answer fanclub questions.{{unsigned|67.168.3.127}}

This is a wiki, it is a free encyclopedia. This proposal might seem a bit difficult to understand. As a member of the Wiki, I think all wiki members should decide who becomes an administrator and take care of the organization of the site. Each year, members choose (By Community Poll) who becomes Patrollers or Administrators for the next year. But, if you want post application to become patrollers you will need the agreement of the proprietor (Porplemontage) for your application to be accepted. After that, when it’s the Community Poll, the majority of members choose who becomes the next Patrollers or Administrators. (We should have at least 3 Bureaucrats , 6 administrators and 9 patrollers each year) At the next election of the Bureaucrats, Administrators and Patrollers. They have the right to represented again to continue having the job. Remember, the proprietor (Porplemontage) will always have the latest decisions that who will have the chance to have his application accepted and if you use this position as a means of superiority, you can lose his job. If you have question, comments.  If this passed, maybe in may, we will vote for our patrollers of may 2015 to may 2016.

:If I'm understanding you correctly, you're asking for there to be a page that lists current administrators that also shows onsite activity. While I'm sure something like that could probably be rigged, we already have a functional list: [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]].

Yesterday, I was surfing this wiki, and I saw that two admins, Gamefreak75 and Yoshi876, resigned from their admin positions! We used to have 13 ''active'' admins, and now we have only 11 admins! [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 16:41, 21 January 2019 (EST)

:How the list of patrollers/admins/bureaucrats are displayed is through a transclusion of the users with that right. In order for her to be removed, she'd have to lose her rights, which has been agreed to not happen. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:32, 21 January 2019 (EST)

Ok, this is getting awkward. We just lost another admin, and it doesn't look like any more people will be promoted to admin position anytime soon. Can resigned admins be replaced, so the balance is 14 admins again? [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 21:21, 18 February 2019 (EST)

== Merge ==
I’d like it if you merged [[MarioWiki:Administrators|this article]] with: [[MarioWiki:Patrollers]], [[MarioWiki:Bureaucrats]] and [[MarioWiki:Proprietor]] that’d be named “MarioWiki:Staff”. It should have a section for the proprietor ([[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]]), and the sub-sections would be the sections from the [[MarioWiki:Proprietor]] article, you know? It’d keep this formula with a section for the bureaucrats, another one for the admins and another one for the patrollers. In those last 3, there’d be sub-sections with the past ones of these (like, past bureaucrats, past admins and past patrollers). There would be also a section for everyone who’s ever written for the 'Shroom and all the Mario Boards staff (forum moderators; chat operators; awards committees; poll committees). I just realized “MarioWiki:Staff” wouldn’t be referring to the Mario Boards in the title, but you’ll think of something. And [[User:PorpleBot|Porplebot]] would be there somewhere. Please tell me what you think. [[User:Weegie baby|Weegie baby]] ([[User talk:Weegie baby|talk]]) 10:03, November 30, 2024 (EST)
