Administrative Projects are a special requirement for wiki Administrators and Bureaucrats. Under community consensus, Administrators and Bureaucrats ("TSW Staff") are required to hold two (2) Administrative Projects at a time. TSW Staff are allowed to choose which projects they want to work in, subject to approval from a Bureaucrat. TSW Staff are still responsible for basic administrative tasks, regardless of the project they are working on.

TSW Staff may propose the creation of additional projects as necessary. These projects may be special to one particular TSW staff member, or open for multiple staff members to fill. New projects should be suggested on the project applications page.

Project Reports

From time to time, TSW Staff may be asked by a bureaucrat to report on work done in their project area. Staff should be actively working to fulfill the duties of their project area. Failure to show work in a project may lead to action against the staff, if necessary.
