Potatopedia:Requests for adminship

Requests for adminship is the process by which the Potatopedia users decide whether a user should become or not a Potatopedia administrator by voting.

About the requests

A request for adminship is opened when a user wants to nominate another user to become an admin or one user autonominates themselves. Keep in mind that if you're nominating another user, the nominee should be aware and agree to open the request.

Process

The process consists of a voting which lasts for 14 days. After the voting is closed, if there is at least a 75% of votes in favor the user should be given administrator rights.
