Hello everyone.

Recently I've gotten some people asking me if they could apply for the Enforcers and/or the council. Since the procedure and the structure behind those are kind of different (from the Update Team) I wanted to make an explaining forum post about it. Before I explain the procedure, I want to answer the question by stating that the Enforcers and Council/Admin applications are always open, but it's usually the admins that would contact you if they're looking for new members in particular. However applying is always a good idea to put yourself out there

The explenation ;

The Enforcers are given rollback rights. Therefore we need to be really sure that you understand the rules of this wiki and we can rely on you to have the proper means to point out to users who break the rules so to say. As you'll see on the Enforcers page, the edit requirements are not so strict because we feel like being an enforcer has nothing to do with how many edits you do.

For being on the council, you'd have to be really willing to put a lot of effort into the wikia. We're trying to have a diverse team on the council, so you should have a really motivational reason as to why you'd want to be on the council. You would also do well in gathering support. I know it might be a bit awkward to do so, but simply asking people (blogpost, forum...) if they'd think you'd be a good applicant already shows a lot.

Something else that we require for both positions (but mostly The Council) is a Skype. The Admins talk on Skype on a daily basis and it's our way of keeping this place up and running. If you were to join the council we would have a group conversation where any ideas or changes for the wikia could be discussed. As a councilmember you'll be given the chance to voice your opinion, and maybe vote in some matters about changes made in the wiki. If you don't have Skype, it's very easy to make. If you do, you can always PM me in chat so that your skype account remains private from the rest of the wiki.

Overall, the biggest change from the Update Team-application is that these applications need to go directly to an admin. You should post a message on their message wall (in this case, mine) and inform them what position you'd want to apply for and then write down the requirements and the other stuff that I explained above.

Has this motivated you to apply? Go ahead and read the requirements on the pages. If you plan on sending me a message to apply, let me know in the comments that you're interested, that way I can keep track of all the applications.



Kind Regards,
