The Sim Wiki is currently in need of more admins. If you have proven yourself to be a valuable member of the community, and you think you're capable of doing the job, this is where to apply. Minimum requirements are:

  • Average or higher wiki editing knowledge.
This means you have to have contributed regularly to some wiki (not necessarily this one).
  • Having started to contribute on The Sim Wiki (edits in the content namespace are not taken too seriously).
  • Your first edit on The Sim Wiki should not be your application on this page.
  • Understandable, (almost 100%) correct English all the time.
  • Playing the game is nice, since you'll be editing and making decisions based on the game's content.
  • Be able to expand articles to make them more useful for the community.
  • You should not copy articles from Wikipedia and paste them here.

What you will do as an admin

  • Revert vandalism, warn and/or block vandals.
  • Move pages to correct page names, delete unnecessary redirects.
  • Have a strong voice when decisions have to be taken.
  • This is a "young" wiki with few established rules.
  • Have the final say in most arguments (unless one of your equals or superiors disagree).
More info and a list of current admins can be found at Administrators
