Consumer Rights Wiki:Moderator applications
The Consumer Rights Wiki needs YOU!
We're always looking for people willing to go the extra mile for consumer rights and help the Wiki be the best it can possibly be. This will serve as your guide to the moderator application process (don't worry, it's not too painful!).
Upon receiving an application, we will review it and aim to get back to you as quickly as possible. Applications should be sent to the email [email protected], and should contain an answer to the questions below, as well as your Wiki username and any other relevant (other sites you've modded on, Wikipedia edits you've made, etc.) so we can examine your edit history.
Requirements
We want to strike a balance between sensible caution over the handing out of privileges, and the need to make the application process accessible and relatively pain-free (we certainly don't want to end up with Wikipedia's situation, where the strictness of their system has essentially served to block them from recruiting new moderators). As such, here's an overview of what we're looking for in an applicant:
Edit history
Your edit history does not need to be long, but it does need to demonstrate that you have an understanding of what the Wiki's purpose is, and what makes a good article. We will mostly look at your most recent substantial edits, and assess how well they fit with the Wiki's policies and guidelines.
Application questions
- Why are you interested in moderating the Wiki?
- What do you see as the biggest non-technical problem with the Wiki or its articles at present?
- What is your time availability for the role, and what tasks are you most interested in carrying out as a mod?
- Have you read through the Wiki's policy documentation, and do you have any particular thoughts or comments on it?
