Forum:How to become an admin?

Hi, I am User:Trnka, a local admin, from Necyklopedie. We recently moved our uncy from http://necyklo.pedie.info to the new wikia site. We can understand that our admin powers are limited here but we feel that we need at least one admin with the rights needed for promoting Necyklopedie active members to the admin level. From my point of view (and clearly not only from my point of view) one of the hot candidates is Svišť. actually I was considering making Svišť an admin before our transfer to Wikia but I had decided to postpone the promotion until Necyklopedia is moved to the new location. I can understand that here we are living in a new environment and that being a member of the staff is a big responsibility but the current situation when we have lost much of our powers seems to be a drawback to us. Have you any idea what to do? Until recently the promotion process at Necyklopedia used to be a bit of anarchy, but it used to work fine. Actually we missed the fact that Necyklopedie was not going to be under our control when voting about the transfer.

 * Normally you could ask any local bureaucrat to promote users to admin status, but the problem is that Necyklopedie is running on MediaWiki 1.10alpha, which means that Makesysop extension is temporarily gone. This is a known bug and will be taken care of.


 * You need to ask a member of the Community Team to use Special:Userrights in order to promote users to admin status for now. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 09:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know that it is a bug but I have supposed this to be a feature. I am going to contact Community Team (but I must read first whom should I address). --Trnka 11:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems to me that Datrio is the right person. --Trnka 11:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
