  5. Bots

You can nominate a Don't Starve Wiki user or yourself by expanding the following section. Administrators will review your request, community members will also comment on your request. Please fill in your username in the form and click submit button. Then, fill out the information on the resulting page, and save the page.

In some occasions, administrators will nominate and promote users on their discretion. This is usually performed when the wiki needs more people to deal with daily issues and tasks, for example, when several admins or custodians being inactive, high frequency of vandalism, wiki expansion and etc.
