From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki 2
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A sysop is a HRFWiki2 user with administrative rights and special abilites that are restricted to most users. A sysop's responsibility is to maintain the wiki according to the Fanstuff Guidelines. If you have a question, they're the people to ask.

Becoming a Sysop[edit | edit source]

The wiki does not take on new sysops very often, but you might still become one if you follow these guidelines:

  • Be mature and trustworthy. — We must be able to trust you with the power to edit, change, or delete anything you want (including the wiki itself).
  • Help the wiki as much as you can. — Sysops are supposed to be helpful. You don't have to be a sysop to help out, so try it and you might become one.
  • Edit frequently and stay active. — Obviously, you won't be promoted if you haven't edited in five years.
  • Stay positive and have a good sense of humor. — Nobody likes a negative sysop. Remember that this is a fan fiction site about a bunch of dumb animal characters.
  • Be technologically knowledgeable. — You should have a decent grasp on wiki formatting. This is not required, but strongly encouraged.
  • Don't call us; we'll call you. — You can ask to be a sysop, but if you do so, it is still unlikely that you will be promoted. Instead, if you meet this criteria, a sysop might come and ask you to be a sysop on your talk page.
