On the Frozen Wiki, obtaining rights is based on tiers, with rollback rights leading to admin status, and admin status leading to bureaucrat status. With the exception of rollback rights, obtaining user rights is based on a nomination process that is followed by discussion-based voting. This means that votes that lack proper reasoning will be disregarded. You cannot nominate yourself. Positions will open on a need-basis, so do not add a nomination if they are closed.
Users wishing for rollback status may request at any time, either on this page or on a bureaucrat's wall. Bureaucrats may also offer these rights at their own discretion, in consultation with the candidate.
Procedures
Nomination and voting
As a general rule, nominations should be made by users who have actively contributed for at least six months. Along with the nomination, users should provide a statement of no more than 100 words to provide reasoning. The nomination process should occur at the start of a month, and new nominations will not be accepted a week into the month. During this week, users will be free to ask optional questions to the nominees. After nominations are closed, the voting process will begin and take place over a period of two weeks. Self-votes will not count.
To nominate a user, please do so with the following format:: === Username ===. Place your statement under this heading. When nominating, asking questions, or voting, please sign your comments with: ~~~~.
Resolution
Following this, the votes will then be processed. The nominee with the most supporting votes is considered first. If there is a support rate of 80% or more, the rights will be granted. A support rate of between 75% and 80% will require bureaucratic discretion; this is where the questions to the nominees are taken into greater consideration. A nominee with a rate of support below 70% will not be given rights. This process moves from nominee to nominee until rights are granted. If none of the nominees have a support rate of greater than 70%, then the one with the highest rate of support will be given rights.
In the case of any draws, the nominee with the greater number of administrator votes will be considered first. If this is not sufficient, bureaucratic intervention will be required.

Hello fellow Frozeniers! You may or may not remember me, but I am AwesomeOrange89, Chad012, Chad, Olaf, whatever you want to call me. I used to be a Bureaucrat on here, at one point even becoming the Executive Director, until I became inactive. I want to get back involved on the wiki. In the time that has passed between October and now, I have seen many new faces, brand new ideas, and an ultimate funness increase! Yes, I know that "funness" may not be a word, but it definitely should be. My goal as a rollback is to assist the current admins, assist the community, and help lead the wiki into 2015. I will assist the admins by going through Special:WikiActivity a lot, and reverting any vandalism I see. I will also go through the reports and fix those as well. This will allow more time for the admins to be focused on you guys, rather than the vandals. For the community I will be able to answer any questions, be here to chat, and make some user boxes for you guys. I will be the best friend you ever had!!! :P. I will help lead this wiki by lending my ideas to the new projects popping up all over, such as the new edits, a revamp in the articles, and a new rule book. I feel I am ready for the mop and bucket, what do you think? Let me know and thanks for reading! AwesomeOrange89 (talk) 6:41, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
- While I myself am not the most active user (that title goes to Dragonboy, for sure), I do take an active interest in this wiki and its comings and goings. Unfortunately, I have to oppose this because, simply, you are not active. A rollback is a user who is given a few extra tools to help with the maintenance of a wiki, and your contributions do not show a need for these tools at all. It's all well and good to say you //will do such things to help the wiki, however with the last time you edited a page being in September, there simply is no evidence to show that you require such tools.

Fruipit summed it up quite well. While quality edits are emphasized over quantity, you only have 12 edits to the mainspace, and the last one was in September. Also, the fact that you uploaded a file solely for use on this page would indicate you do not have a clear grasp of our image policy, and this is notwithstanding the fact that animated .gif files are disallowed on the wiki. Since rollbacks help with maintenance, they need to be active and understand the policies of the site. With regards to the last part of your statement, I would also like to emphasize that this is a community site. Everyone's contributions/suggestions are welcome, so you shouldn't feel that you need rollback status to "help lead the wiki into 2015." Dragonboy6491 (talk) 17:07, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
While I do understand you want this title, my question is, will you use these rights properly? Putting this in a nutshell, for the benefit of the wiki, a rollback must be at ease with editing, and that was a fragment piece of your period of activity on the wiki previously that was missing. I'm glad that you still would like to take on these responsibilities and help the wiki some more, but being a single user who helps out and has open suggestions on the wiki already is for the good already.

Fruipit
I know this may seem a little sus due to the ongoing discussion, however I, Fruipit, would like to request rollback rights. As my edits favour the more technical side of the wiki, and not so much the content, I feel like what I can achieve could be augmented with rollback powers. I understand if my activity is not quite enough to get them. Ideally, I would like to be able to delete certain things, as (as Dragonboy can attest) many of my time is spent adding deletion notices and removing redirects, however I'm not sure if that is a default feature for rollbacks.
Thank you. Fruipit (Wall • Contribs • Editcount) 12:28, February 26, 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think deletion is a default rollback feature, but we can always set up a discussion to gather community consensus and send a link to that thread to Special:Contact. Wikia staff would then be able give rollbacks the ability to delete pages.
- That said, I still think rollback would be a useful tool for Fruipit. She has a solid understanding of how we operate and has often corrected/undid the work of others, signifying her interest in maintenance. I don't think the activity factor is a major issue seeing as it's the quality of edits that count. And while we don't get a lot of vandalism, there's no doubt in my mind that being a rollback would help Fruipit when she does need to undo a poor edit. Dragonboy6491 (talk)
