RuneScape:The Wikian

is an in-game title awarded to editors of the RuneScape Wiki.

Guidelines
{subject to change via thread}
 * Users should have helped out the wiki in some way, for example
 * many edits
 * high-quality or high-profile edits
 * project involvement
 * community interaction
 * generally helping out
 * These are not hard requirements, so if you think a user should be granted the title, nominate them with your reasoning. The title is not meant to be exclusive.


 * Nominees, nominators, and commenters should have a wiki account of at least 2 weeks old
 * Currently blocked users are disqualified from being nominated (including being blocked during the process)
 * This does not include staff-applied global blocks, as they are hard to track and verify
 * Users may not nominate themselves
 * Nominations should:
 * include a description of why the user should be awarded the title
 * use the usual support/oppose/etc comments with optional reasoning
 * run for one week
 * There is no quota on:
 * The number of wiki users that can receive the title
 * The number of in-game accounts each user can have the title applied to (but be reasonable as it is a manual process)
 * Title removals should be done extremely sparingly

These rules were discussed in Forum:The Wikian.

Nominating
{possibly also subject to change} To nominate a user, please follow these steps: ===User:NOMINEE=== Describe why the nominee should be granted the title. Sign with ~
 * 1) Let the user know you wish to nominate them - they may decline, in which case stop here. While it is optional to ask before nominating them, it is better to do so beforehand.
 * 2) Add the request to the Nominations section of this page using the following format:

Account name(s): list the nominee's in-game account(s)

Discussion
Support as nominator. ~  If not ask beforehand, the nominee should make their declination known now  The nominee should fill in their in-game account name(s) in the marked section, or check them if already filled in. Make sure that exact spelling of the name(s) is clear:  The request is now ready for general commentary.
 * Take care with similar-looking characters, e.g. I l (uppercase i, lowercase L), O 0 (uppercase o, zero), etc. When in doubt, use all lowercase.
 * If the name contains more than once space in a row, use underscores _ (as MediaWiki trims excess spaces).

Completing
After a week, an administrator should determine consensus and close the nomination. The discussion should be archived in the current (or a new) archive.

Successful nominations should have the user (and accounts) added to RuneScape:The Wikian/Users, and the current owner of the Wikian book (Gaz Lloyd) notified - remember that both users (the Wikian book user and the successful nominee) have to be in-game at the same time to grant the title.
