This is the page where formal nominations for bureaucratship are recorded and archived. Bureaucrats are users who can add rollback, sysop and bureaucrat flags to other users, and remove rollback and sysop flags. On Xiaolinpedia, all bureaucrats also hold a Xiaolin Grand Master Flag.

Requirements

There are no concrete requirements for a user to be a bureaucrat, except that the user must already be an admin. However, bureaucrats will usually:

• Be among the biggest contributors to the wiki
• Be highly trusted by the community over a long period of time

Procedures

• Users must have 200 mainspace edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to vote or nominate.
• Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of RfB and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before voting.
• Users must have adminship to be able to become a bureaucrat.

Stage 1: Nominating

1. When this page is opened, users may be nominated by others. Statements must be fewer than 100 words.
2. If the candidate accepts a nomination, community members may ask the candidate any questions they may have. The candidate may choose not to answer.
3. At the end of one week, nominations are closed, questions are closed and voting is opened.

Stage 2: Voting

1. When voting begins, community members may do the following (providing a reason behind their position):
   1. Place one "support" vote under the candidate of their choice.
   2. Place one "oppose" and/or "neutral" vote under as many candidates as the user feels strongly about.
2. At the end of two weeks, voting is closed. Voting is also closed if there are no votes for three days.

Stage 3: Resolving

1. The candidate with the highest number of well-reasoned support votes and a very low percentage of well-reasoned neutral/oppose votes (therefore fulfilling "consensus") is promoted. Strength of argument is always of strong importance.
   1. If the candidate with the most support votes has a high rate of opposition, then the next candidates in order of number of support votes will be considered until one is found with a suitably low rate of opposition.
   2. Any draws will be resolved by choosing the candidate with the highest support from current admins. If there is a draw in admin votes, then the process will start again from stage 2 with only two candidates.
