This is a policy page for Don't Starve Wiki. It contains widely accepted standards that editors should normally follow. Any significant changes must require community consensus. You can make a discussion in forum. |

See also Help:User access levels for more information about user rights. |
This page provides the guideline that users need in order to request for user rights.
There are 7 types of user rights available for request at the moment:
- Administrator
- Custodian (also known as Content Moderator)
- Rollback
- Discussion Moderator (also known as Forum/Blog Moderator)
- Chat Moderator
- Bureaucrats
- Bots
You can nominate a Don't Starve Wiki user or yourself at the comment section of this page. Administrators will review your request. In some occasions, administrators will nominate and promote users on their discretion. This is usually performed when the wiki needs more people to help with (e.g. several admins or custodians being inactive, high frequency of vandalism, wiki expansion, etc.)
Be a suitable candidate
These criteria are not compulsory, they merely act as a guideline for administrators to promote users. Administrators can act on their discretion by case to case.
- Good amount of constructive edits.
- Never commit vandalism.
- Promote healthy discussion in Forum or in comment section.
- Always fight against vandalism.
- Always active in the wiki.
Meanwhile there are expectations on you once you are granted user rights.

No active bureaucrats or admins
If there are no active bureaucrats or admins, please create a blog named "Request for <types of user rights>" to generate community discussion. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.
