I am posting here because the link from the edit page told me to contact the people on this page.  I don't have much Mario knowledge but am happy to fix links, clean up phrasing, standardize punctuation, and other edits that require no specialized knowledge, and I think that's still a valid contribution.  If you must use a CAPTCHA, please do the standard skewed picture of text.  It feels not only a bit trying but also somewhat exclusionary requiring that editors answer fanclub questions.{{unsigned|‎67.168.3.127}}

<br><small>Rule 16--"Proposals cannot be made about promotions and demotions. Users can only be promoted and demoted by the will of the administration."--applies to TPPs as well.</small>
 
This is a wiki, it is a free encyclopedia. This proposal might seem a bit difficult to understand. As a member of the Wiki, I think all wiki members should decide who becomes an administrator and take care of the organization of the site. Each year, members choose (By Community Poll) who becomes Patrollers or Administrators for the next year. But, if you want post application to become patrollers you will need the agreement of the proprietor (Porplemontage) for your application to be accepted. After that, when it’s the Community Poll, the majority of members choose who becomes the next Patrollers or Administrators. (We should have at least 3 Bureaucrats , 6 administrators and 9 patrollers each year) At the next election of the Bureaucrats, Administrators and Patrollers. They have the right to represented again to continue having the job. Remember, the proprietor (Porplemontage) will always have the latest decisions that who will have the chance to have his application accepted and if you use this position as a means of superiority, you can lose his job. If you have question, comments.  If this passed, maybe in may, we will vote for our patrollers of may 2015 to may 2016.

:If I'm understanding you correctly, you're asking for there to be a page that lists current administrators that also shows onsite activity. While I'm sure something like that could probably be rigged, we already have a functional list: [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]].

Just want to know, why this rank (Adnministrators) is not name Sysop, because I saw on Userpedia that their name is Sysop and that the name Administrator is also a name use to describe Patrollers, Sysops and Bureaucrats? --{{User:LudwigVon/sig}}  19:30, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

:"Sysop" can be interchangeable with "admin", although sometimes, "admin" is used as the umbrella term for all users entrusted with additional tools (I personally don't like the term "admin"), but sometimes, it's used to refer to the rank usually above the patroller rank. The context matters the most in this case, but I hope I helpfully explained the usage of the term in this wiki. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 21:12, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

==Spamming IP==
http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Contributions/23.27.250.220 is meerly spamming pages and immediately reverting them. Obviously they do not intend to edit properly. [[User:CrashBash|CrashBash]] ([[User talk:CrashBash|talk]]) 03:15, 23 November 2015 (EST)
:It's just a recurring spambot that changes its IP, just directly inform admins. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:37, 23 November 2015 (EST)
== View and restore deleted files ==
Can Sysops view and restore a deleted image as well because it missed that bit in viewing and restoring deleted pages and their history, does this mean once an image is deleted it's gone for good? {{User:Fawful's Minion/sig}} 04:41, 14 June 2016 (EDT)
:We can undelete images as long as it's not before a certain date. Older versions of mediawiki didn't allow that, but it's possible now. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 08:30, 14 June 2016 (EDT)

Yesterday, I was surfing this wiki, and I saw that two admins, Gamefreak75 and Yoshi876, resigned from their admin positions! We used to have 13 ''active'' admins, and now we have only 11 admins! [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 16:41, 21 January 2019 (EST)
:They weren't too active on here anymore editing-wise, if you look at their contributions. Might have maintained the server, though. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:43, 21 January 2019 (EST)
::They left on their own accord. That's how it's usually done unless someone absolutely cannot be contacted for some reason. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:27, 21 January 2019 (EST)
:::For those of you looking at my previous comment and saying "It's 14 active admins, not 13 active admins!" and "It's 12 admins, not 11 admins!", did you know that Walkazo died in a traffic accident near the end of March 2016? [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 21:11, 21 January 2019 (EST)
::::Those of us that do typically prefer not to be reminded, I imagine. I didn't even ''know'' her personally, but still held her in high regard, and was hurt deeply when that happened. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:59, 21 January 2019 (EST)
:::::Yes, we knew that. There wasn't anyone correcting your numbers, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:06, 22 January 2019 (EST)
== Walkazo ==
Shouldn't Walkazo be removed from this list? I know her account still has administrator rights, but I don't think she should be on a list of current admins. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:29, 21 January 2019 (EST)
:How the list of patrollers/admins/bureaucrats are displayed is through a transclusion of the users with that right. In order for her to be removed, she'd have to lose her rights, which has been agreed to not happen. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:32, 21 January 2019 (EST)
::Ah, I see. I thought it was just a regular list. Nevermind then. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:12, 21 January 2019 (EST)

Ok, this is getting awkward. We just lost another admin, and it doesn't look like any more people will be promoted to admin position anytime soon. Can resigned admins be replaced, so the balance is 14 admins again? [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 21:21, 18 February 2019 (EST)
:That's up to the staff. Admins come and go, and there's no set number. No need for the commentary, please. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:23, 18 February 2019 (EST)
