The Featured Works review board (linked) is a group of users that supervises and maintains the featured works system on Star Wars Fanon. They are responsible for reviewing, voting, and archiving featured works nominations and have been ever since October of 2008. More text here&hellip;more text. To see elections for this position, please see LINK.

=On the "Admins" link= This page is for users to place requests for adminship (RFA), which are elections held to elect new administrators, or not. An administrator is a user with more privileges than a regular user; administrators have rollback rights, deletion rights, protection rights, and also have the duty to enforce the rules, assist all users, enforce blocks, and maintain organization throughout Star Wars Fanon. The current administrators are as follows: Brandon Rhea, C3PO the Dragon Slayer, Wayne "CurrentBigThing" Lipman III, Thomas "Darth tom" Rattim, Andrew "Drewton" Barton, Jack Phoenix, Jasca Ducato, Christian "NKSCF" Ashley, Gnosis is knowledge, and Michaeldsuarez. Former administrators include Bub, Jennie "StarNeptune" Cooper, Neomessiah, Victor "Squishy Vic" Dorantes and Jedi Master 76.

See the archive to view previous requests for adminiship election details.

Rules

 * Main article: Rules

Nomination
In order for a user to be nominated or initiate a request for adminship, that user must have at least 250 main space edits and must have been a member of Star Wars Fanon for at least one month. If a user is being nominated by someone else, that user must have accepted the nomination beforehand, so that the nominee knows of his request for adminship.

To set up a request for adminship of a nominee or of oneself, a user must provide the following format:


 * === User:Username ===
 * ==== Support ====
 * ==== Oppose ====
 * ==== Neutral ====
 * ==== Comments ====
 * ==== Questions ====

Voting
Any users who want to participate in the voting process must reach the standards of the voting policy, which means having at least 250 main space edits and a one month membership.

Users may only vote once per candidate, which is logical; if they are going to oppose a user, however, they must provide a solid concrete reason. Invalid reasons will be struck out. A support vote adds one tally to the net votes of a nominee, and an oppose vote subtracts one tally; a neutral vote does nothing, mathematically.

However, new rules have been establish on voting. Although each support vote still adds one to the total vote, and each oppose vote subtracts one from the total vote, a user may no longer vote for every candidate. To prevent ties as much as possible and to make the voting truly fair, the administrators decided upon a new system. In the case where there is only one or two candidates, a user may only use a "Full Vote" to vote for one candidate, not both. In the case of three candidates, a user has the ability to vote for two of the three users, stating either "Full Vote" when voting for one candidate, or "Half Vote" (with each vote) when voting for two candidates. In the case of four or more candidates, a user has the ability to vote for up to three of the candidates, stating either "Full Vote" when voting for one candidate, "Half Vote" (with each vote) when voting for two candidates, or "One-Third Vote" (with each vote) when voting for three candidates.

Note that oppose and neutral votes are not limited, and they may be distributed upon all candidates.

Users who have been barred from voting may not vote if their punishment is still ongoing, and, as the voting policy states, vandals and sockpuppets may not vote either.
