How do I a mod upgrade my rank?

Well, I am glad you asked.

First off. Let’s start with watcher to admin.

For a watcher to become an admin they will have to do things that admin is expected to do within their ability and go above and beyond.

First off, when warning someone, make sure that you are very clear as to the reason, as well. Put in effort into suggestions on how they can improve.

Second, make sure to do something huge, like fixing high priority wiki maintenance items. As well, watchers are expected to be calm and cool under pressure. For Admins that applies 10 fold. Get a group together and start a huge project, like a monthly story. Be even more active then expected. Then your chances are pretty good,

Admin to Elder admin.

This is very hard to reach, for this you will have to have extreme behavior or be an admin for 2 years to reach this level. There is a way to reach this quicker but it will be very very very difficult. First off, be on the wiki every day, not for long but every day, making bans and warnings that count, give excessive info and a deep but easy to understand step by step tutorial on how the banned or warned user can improve. If a watcher is stepping out of line, tell them, Watchers are users who have met the bare minimum expectations of an admin, but, I may make a mistake in picking or they may give someone a warning for the wrong reason, set them straight. Do not think of yourself higher than other users, think of yourself the same as other users, any user can be an admin if they put the work into it, be humble. Fix everything on maintenance! Clear it out! Be kind to those you banned, a level one or a two week ban is not a ban but more an eye opener to those who don’t read the rules, be calm, kind, and helpful in the ban reports, be inspirational for them to do better. But be stern about it too, find a balance.
