Can you be an Admin if you have a history of Vandalism?

FA not supported; I don't think it would serve wikiHow's purposes to feature this article. Words like trophyism and power-hunger come to mind when I think of this in terms of actually featuring it. But that's just my personal feelings.

WikiBunny said:

Don't support FA, because I think lots of people who read the featured articles don't even know what a wikihow admin is, since they don't edit here; the featured articles should be more of stuff that people actually want to know, that apply to stuff in real life.

"Become a wikiHow Admin" is a former featured article candidate. The list for Featured Article Candidates is periodically reviewed, and articles that have been nominated for some time, but not chosen, are removed. This article was probably not featured for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Step-by-step images may be necessary to clarify and illustrate the instructions. If so, please feel free to take pictures for this article and re-nominate for featuring.
  • Content may not meet guidelines set forth in the Writer's Guide (formatting, accuracy, etc.) Steps should be action-oriented instructions, spelling and grammar errors should be corrected, information should be fact-checked, references added, and so on.
  • Discussion shows no support for featuring, or comments point to ways in which this article can still be improved.
  • Article may not yet meet the FA standard of being better than any other single page on that topic on the Internet.
  • Topic may be too specific or controversial to apply to a broad audience. Some topics just aren't good for featuring, no matter how well the article is written.

If this article is modified with regard to these criteria, anyone is welcome to nominate this article for featuring again. Following the instructions for writing a featured article on wikiHow will significantly improve its chances of being chosen for featuring.

Crud, I don't have enough time each day to be an admin. I have to get up at 7:00 in the morning, be at school for 6 and 1/4 hours, do my homework, do a little bit of stuff on my computer, and then eat dinner. Maybe I'll wait to do something as time-committing as this.

Is there a test that a contributor has to take to become an admin? How do people know that you want to become an admin and elect?

Please add a link to the test,if there is one!

Confusionist said:

Hey, guys! :) Nope, there's no test. By editing often and being involved in the community, the admins nominate you rather than you nominating yourself. The process seems to work pretty well in finding productive admins. We, then find some mentors for you if you're approved, e.t.c, e.t.c. Thanks for being interested! You might find that becoming a booster is a better way to be recognized, but it's definitely possible to become an admin without being a booster. ;)
