Requesting administrator rights is currently limited to rollbackers, discussion moderators, content moderators, and assistants only. Users who apply for administratorship will have their requests declined if they don't already have rollback, discussion moderator, content moderator, or assistant status.
This is the page where formal requests for administrator, assistant, content moderator, discussion moderator, and rollback rights can be filed.
Rollback Rights[]
Rollback rights enable users to use a [rollback] button to quickly revert vandalism from history pages. It is particularly useful on C.Syde's Wiki when an administrator is unavailable to take bigger action against vandals.
All administrators, assistants, and content moderators are implicitly rollbackers already. There is no maximum number of rollback users, so if you would like to obtain rollback rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.
Discussion Moderator Rights[]
Discussion Moderators are users who have additional tools available to manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having social discussions. They are able to delete blog comments, edit and delete article comments, remove and restore threads and replies from any user, and close and reopen threads.
In the discussions feature specifically, discussion moderators have the ability to move threads from one category to another. All administrators are implicitly discussion moderators already. There is no maximum number of discussion moderator users, so if you would like to obtain discussion moderator rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.
Content Moderator Rights[]
Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate parts of the community that host the wiki's content. They are able to change the protection levels of pages, delete and undelete pages and files, move pages and files without leaving redirects, and patrol pages on wikis with the recent changes patrol feature enabled.
All administrators are implicitly content moderators already. There is no maximum number of content moderator users, so if you would like to obtain content moderator rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.
Assistant Rights[]
Assistants are users who have additional tools available to moderate parts of the community that host the wiki's content. They are able to autopatrol their own edits to pages on the wiki, edit, move, and protect blog articles, toggle comments on articles, bypass rate limits[1], and disallowed title lists, search deleted pages, use higher limits in API queries, view unwatched pages, mark reverted edits as bot edits, and import pages from file uploads.
They can also view deleted history entries, without their associated text. All administrators are implicitly assistants already, although in practice they can no longer bypass rate limits like assistants can. There is no maximum number of assistant users, so if you would like to obtain assistant rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.
Administrator Rights[]
Administrators are users who have additional tools to available to ensure the functions of the community that host the wiki's content, and to manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having social discussions. They can block and unblock users from editing, edit the interface by changing system messages and skins, edit the wiki's theme design, give chat moderator or discussion moderator rights to suitable candidates, and more.
Administrator rights are particularly useful for keeping the wiki maintenance in check. There is no maximum number of administrators, so if you are already a rollback, discussion moderator, content moderator, or assistant and you would like to obtain administrator rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.

Procedures[]
Add your name as a subheading under the 'Current Requests' section, and give a concise explanation (no more than several lines) as to why you require these rights. Please make sure you have stated which rights you are applying for. Also please sign your posts.
Alternatively, another user may also nominate another user for user rights.
The applicant must already be either a rollback, discussion moderator, content moderator, or assistant, in order to be nominated for administrator rights.
If this is the case, the applicant only needs to say whether or not they accept the nomination.
Other users may or may not have questions or concerns. There will be no section for questions or concerns, if there are no questions or concerns. Voting on a user rights request is unnecessary,
If the user is requesting, or being nominated for discussion moderator, rollback, content moderator, or assistant rights, any administrator may step in, consider their request, and decide whether or not that user's nomination has been approved.
Administrators must make good judgement when accepting or declining a request. Any administrator who makes bad judgement when accepting or declining a discussion moderator, rollback, content moderator, or assistant request, will run the risk of being demoted to whatever position they were in prior to being an administrator.
If the user is requesting, or being nominated for administrator rights, I, C.Syde65 will consider your request and make a decision.
Please do not get too disappointed if your request is declined. You can always try again later.
Declined - Unfortunately you don't currently meet the requirements to have your rights reinstated. As you don't have Rollback, Discussion Moderator, Content Moderator, or Assistant rights. It has also been more than a year since you last stepped down from your position. I did try to warn you that you should consider keeping your rights when retiring from a wiki as opposed to removing your rights, should you ever decide to return. I would recommend applying for Rollback, Discussion Moderator, Content Moderator, and/or Assistant rights, and then try reapplying for Administrator rights a few days later. ― C.Syde(talk | contribs) 00:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Approved - As incredibly late as it is, it's obvious that I approve this request, since I gave you the rights nearly 20 days ago now. One issue that I do have is that you have revoked your rights twice beforehand and have wanted them back on both occasions. I would strongly recommend that you keep that in mind the next time you consider resigning, and declare yourself as retired instead. Other than that, I don't have any pressing issues with this request. ― C.Syde(talk | contribs) 23:51, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Notes[]
↑Administrators, Bureaucrats, and Content Moderators previously had this ability.
↑While it would be extremely uncommon to have a user with global user rights apply for local rights on this wiki, Fandom Staff don't need to have Rollback permissions to apply for Administratorship. This is because they already have all the user permissions extended to Rollbackers, although in practice they don't have the rights to pose as local Rollbackers.
