Welcome to the wiki! I hope you enjoy it here. :)

Becoming an administrator is a gradual process, and most people don't become one. That's not to say you won't though. =)

A few things we look for in admins would be:


 * Experience
 * Administrators are experienced users, who know how to edit and moderate well, and who have had prior experience as a moderator, and preferably a rollback/patroller. Most administrators are on the wiki for months and months before becoming one.


 * Dedication
 * We look for dedicated users who have many edits and are involved with the community. Most admins have thousands of edits.


 * Relatibility
 * Admins should be connected to the community and not distand or aloof.


 * Skill set
 * Oftentimes users with specific skills that are needed on the admin team have a better chance of being chosen.


 * Discernment
 * Another big part is good judgement. Admins have a lot of responsibility, and need to have a good deal of common sense. Only mature and constructive users are considered for administrator.


 * Leadership
 * And lastly, another thing looked for is good leadership skills. How do users react under pressure, how do they resolve conflict, etc.

Mostly, however, we just want you to be yourself, have fun, and follow the rules. Don't try and act a certain way just to get admin.

See you around the wiki!
