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, without the need of time or edits made into the community. 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.

Voting rights change

Right now, any user can vote for a bureaucrat, with no limits for edits or time in the community. What about if we limit the voting ability to users whose first edit where made atleast before the beginning of the election ? This would help sort sockpuppets and other assorted cronies. --People's Commissar Hagnat talk mod 13:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
