This page explains the rules behind the nomination, voting, and promotion of users interested in a staff position. On this page's talk page, users can be nominated for the rollback, administrator, or bureaucrat positions. If the vote is successful (rules for promotion qualifications are listed below), the nominated user will be promoted by one of the wiki's bureaucrats.
This page also explains the rules for the demotion of a staff member - if a staff member is found to have abused their power, broken wiki rules, or is deemed to have failed to properly carry out their staff duties, they may be nominated for demotion, after which, if the vote is successful, the user is to be demoted by one of the wiki's bureaucrats.
