Applying for an administrator[]
Thanks goes to Liv and Maddie wiki.
When the wiki is looking for an administrator, it will be posted at the top of this page. When the wiki is not looking for an administrator, you cannot apply to be one. You will have to wait for our two month concensus. Every two months, the wiki will have a community discussion regarding the rules, layouts, and admins on the wiki to make sure everything is running smoothly and is in everyone's favor. If the community votes that we need another admin or need to replace one, admin applications will be accepted.
OR if you feel that you or another user is a user who deserves to be admin and applications are not being accepted at that time, you may bring up the matter on the wiki improvements board.

Name: Mako Mermaids (or Lyla, whatever you prefer)
Introduction: I had found and joined wikia a few months ago looking for information on my favorite shows. I liked having an account on wikia better than Wikipedia, because let's face it, some of the Wikipedia admins were really strict to me. Here, they don't send me rude messages about my edits.
Work Ethic: I like communicating with other users about what THEY want to see on this wikia.
Specialties/Skills: I like writing and giving information to user about what is going on, and I also like to check new pages to see if they are qualified as a page or not.
Weaknesses: I don't have the best grammar, so I may make a mistake or two.
Experience: I edited some on Shake It Up, Good Luck Charlie, and Austin & Ally Wiki.
Recommendations: I haven't worked with any one on a page before, but, if this counts, Hannamarin7 recommended I become an admin.
Other: Even though I'm not the best with my grammar, I like to check pages with their grammar with my spell checker. And I'm Australian, so something may also go wrong with my grammar.

What ideas do you have for the wiki?What skills of yours would you use as an admin and how would you use them?

I only believe in deleting pages if they have nothing to do with the Wiki, or there is already a page with that name. 5. What do you believe are the three most important qualities of an administrator? 1: Listing to people. 2: Responsibility 3: Hard work 6. What sets you apart from other candidates and makes you the ideal candidate for this position? I believe that peoples need to be heard by the admins. 7.

What would you do if you feel that another member of the administrative team is not living up to the principles outlined in our policies and your prior responses? I would tell other admins and we would decide what to do. 9. What priorities of yours, if any, would change as a result of becoming an admin? How would those changes translate into your editing activities? I would remove pages that are unnecessary and fix them up. 10. What do you think you would struggle with most if you became a new admin and how would you try to defeat that struggle? Probably my grammar, but I'll get it checked before I publish. 11. Why would you like to be an admin? I didn't really think about it, until I got recommended. I would like to edit and/or delete unnecessary pages.
