Revision as of 17:28, 1 October 2016

This page lists users who have special privileges on the Happy Tree Friends Wiki and therefore, who to ask for help.

Bureaucrats

This user is a bureaucrat. Don't mess around with us, or we will take action!

A bureaucrat is an administrator with the additional responsibilities of granting (and revoking) rollback permissions and promoting users to the role of an Administrator or Bureaucrat. However, once a user has been promoted as a Bureaucrat, he or she cannot revoke their Bureaucrat right. It can only be done by Wikia staff members or by the user themselves.

Administrators

This user is an administrator, don't do anything funny or we will kick your ass!

Administrators, sometimes called system operators or just admin, are members of the community charged with smoothly maintaining the operations of the wiki. They can protect pages, ban/unban users and IPs, delete pages and images from the system and editing the interface by changing system messages and skins. Administrators are given a few extra rights, but this does not mean they are better then others or that they have more say in decisions. They are just normal users with a few extra rights who help other users on the wiki.

When you have a problem or a question regarding the site, an Administrator will help you any way he or she can.

Administrators are selected on a needed basis only. There are no official criteria to become an administrator. However, there are a few basic guidelines. When an administrator is needed, a few users will be recommended and will be voted on by the community. To be appointed, the user must:

-==Elections and Demotions==
-On this wiki. We have very specific rules on how admin and bureaucrat elections and demotions are handled.
-===Elections===
-Happy Tree Friend Wiki holds elections whenever an admin resigns or is demoted. There is no specific number of admin or bureaucrats that this wiki should have, but the recommended number should be 3 to 5 admin and 2 to 4 bureaucrats. Before we can start an election. The administration of this wiki must discuss if one is needed, and if one is. The admin should look into finding two suitable nominees. There must be two unless no other user meets the criteria and either nominee declines or accepts the offer. Elections begin after both nominees are decided on and either accept or decline the offer. Elections must be put on the voting board on forums, and they must last from 1 to 3 days before the 23rd of any month. They must be done in EST or UTC time. There is no vote threshold, and if a tie happens. The vote will be reopened until one more vote cast. After the election. The winner will be promoted on the 23rd of that month.
-===Demotions===
-Demotions are a very rare and sparingly used vote. Demotions should only happen for the following reasons:
-*The admin or bureaucrat will not peacefully give up their rights after many referrals and misnomers.
-*Admin or bureaucrat has blatantly abused his rights.
-*And/or is overall inactive for more then a month. (Exceptions for if they tell the wiki in advance they will be inactive for more then a month)
-Demotions must be decided on by the community as a whole in a discussion. After a consensus is made that an admin must be demoted. A vote will be held. A vote must last at least one day for a normal admin, and at least three days for a bureaucrat. It must be also timed either EST or UTC time. A vote must be at least 2 votes or more over the opposing side. If the vote is too close. The community will have a discussion over it, and decide if the admin should really be demoted or not. If the users is an admin and the vote is decided to hold. A bureaucrat will demote the user. If the user is a bureaucrat. A staff will be contacted, and will demote the user, if they will not demote themselves.
