UDWiki:Administration/Bureaucrat Promotions
This page is for the election of Bureaucrats.
FAQ
- What is a Bureaucrat?
- A bureaucrat (aka. crat) is a user with the ability to promote and demote users for sysop and bureaucrat positions. The Urban Dead Wiki mantains two active bureaucrats at all times, with elections occurring every three months to promote a sysop into bureaucrat, filling the position of the one who has least recently had an election.
- A bureaucrat whose position is being filled can run for reelection, with no limits on how many times a bureaucrat can remain in the position.
- Can I become a Bureaucrat?
- Only System Operators (aka sysop) can become bureaucrats. Users who are part of the Urban Dead Wiki community for a set period of time and which have made a certain number of edits can be promoted to sysop, as long as they get the rest of the community support. For more information on how to become a sysop, read the sysop promotions page.
- System Operators can become bureaucrat if elected by the community. A sysop needs to be active in the previous months of the election in order to run for crat. If he becomes active AFTER the election begun, he will only be able to run for 'crat in the next election.
- Can I vote?
- Any user can vote. Unless said otherwise, you can only vote in one candidate per election, and any user who vote more than once will have all their votes stricken.
- Can I vote for myself?
- If you are a sysop and eligible for voting, you can vote for yourself.
Rules
- Rules for starting an election.
- When a Bureaucrat resigns, or loses his status due to demotion or inactivity an election is started immediately.
- A Bureaucrat that hasn't made a single edit in one month is considered to be inactive and forfeits their status as bureaucrat.
- After 3 months with no elections on a bureaucrat position, an election is called for the bureaucrat position longest without an election.
- If, for any reason, an individual Bureaucrat position hasn't faced an election after 8 months, then an election is called after that period.
- The election ends after two weeks wiki time counting from the when the election is started.
- The candidate with the most votes wins the election.
- In the event of a tied vote the remaining bureaucrats will decide between the tied candidates.

- Users with at least 12 edits in the 30 days before the election are considered "active" for purposes of the election.
- The Bureaucrat whose position comes up for election if said election is started under rule 2 of Rules for starting an election is automatically declared a candidate.
- Unless said otherwise, a bureaucrat who lost its powers through demotion cannot run for bureaucrat on the election that will fill its position
- A candidate can retract his own candidacy at any time.
- Rules concerning voting.
- All users have only one vote per bureaucrat position to be filled.

I still check udwiki several times a day but my activity is barely worth sysop powers currently, lest crat privs. I'm also not interested in the position. There are plenty of operators more than capable of handling the job properly right now. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 00:05, 15 August 2011 (BST)
