Admins

An administrator has special responsibilities to watch over the wiki. In order to make it easier to fulfill those responsibilities, and admin can block user IDs or IP edits, protect pages and revert pages more easily.

Nominations:

Bongolium500

The rationale for nominating this user is:

With The Power of the Doctor recently bringing countless new eyes to the wiki, I'd like to seize the opportunity to nominate Bongolium500 for adminship.

Since some of his earliest edits, patiently helping new users learn our rules in the absence of our welcome bot, Bongo50 has been noticing technical shortcomings on the wiki and going above and beyond to plug the holes. He's always lending a helping hand to editors new and old, whether it's designing complex new templates like {{Counterparts}} and {{SourceFilter}}; crafting new CSS themes to fix, among other things, our infoboxes and Spotify player; or laying the groundwork for the return of DPL Forums. When it was our wiki's turn to migrate to FandomDesktop, our admins turned to Bongo50 to get the job done. His commitment to the wiki has already been recognised with the prestigious "The Doctor's Golden TARDIS Key" award, awarded for editing every day for 365 days, which has been earned by only 14 others ever.

This wiki was built by technical admins, CzechOut chief among them, who designed our templates and themes to keep things running. However, most of these admins have naturally moved on to other priorities. Over my years and years on the wiki, Bongo50 is the first user I've seen who's taken the steps to help fill their shoes. But because of his user permissions, every fix and improvement he designs for (eg) {{quote}} or Tardis.css has had to be conveyed to an admin. If there's anyone we can trust with access to these tools, it's Bongo50. Let's make it official! – n8 (☎) 18:10, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the nomination! I would happily take on the position of admin as it would make a lot of things that I already do, like making changes to css pages and protected templates (which are often protected for good reason) a lot easier. I know my main namespace edits aren't as plentiful as some users and admins, but I hope my more technical changes can make up for this. Bongo50 ☎ 18:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Bureaucrats

A bureaucrat has the same rights as an administrator and the additional permission to create new administrators and bureaucrats.
