Project Lead The Wiki

**Project Lead The Wiki (PLTW)** is an organization founded on March 6th 2023 by Checkered Flag Waver. It was a follow up to Roles/Resources founded by Fernanxa (Now retired) but this will hopefully plan to work out.

## Information

### Background

Project Lead The Wiki (PLTW) is an organization founded by Checkered Flag Waver on March 6th 2023 that plans to be the lead operation of the wiki that will make it closer to an official Piston Cup Cars Fan-Made Wiki. It will organize the wiki better and will continue the limited success of Roles/Resources.

### The Project Leaders

##### Project Leader/Founder

Checkered Flag Waver (Patriot) joined this wiki on August 14th 2021 and has been helping and trying to make it a better wiki by mostly becoming the wiki's best categorizer. He will oversee that all the leaders of the groups do there jobs correctly and respect their position.

##### Secondary Project Leader

Ferrari Fan 488 joined the wiki in late 2019 and has ever since been an active member who has also helped organize it more. He will help Checkered manage this project and will take over while Checkered is absent.

### Rules

1. Random users are banned from contributing in these categories without **direct consent** from the group leaders. Members can do them without any consent from the leaders.
	1. However, important things has to go through leader approval or else it just wouldn't pass. You can initially create them as it is your divine right as a member, but if the leader disagrees with it and deletes the page, well, too bad, you are banned from restoring it as it has gone through the disapproval of a leader.
2. A member can only apply if they are very interested in the series/topic they are going to join. There are no edit limits.
3. Both leaders **can** have the authority to warn and kick out members if their changes to their respective categories are negative.
4. If a group leader is acting too tyrannical, has done no more than negative changes under their leadership, or has been blocked for breaking another rule, a project leader will essentially "fire" him/her and elect a new leader among the members.
5. Group leaders can administrate their groups in any way they want or prefer as long as they aren’t tyrannical or incompetent.
6. Project leaders are not any sort of "god" or "king" or "dictator": most of the authority goes to the group leaders. Project leaders only have the authority to write and enforce these rules.
	1. In fact, project leaders are forced to ask group leaders if they are not in those groups.
	2. Project leaders can be category leaders if they are competent enough and have dear interest in their respective series.
7. Blocked users are obviously **banned** from membership in any group, unless they were globally blocked for things on other wikis and are using alts.
8. Project and group leaders cannot do “nepotism”, as in appointing incompetents into categories because they like them, if a leader adds a user without any membership application, they have to be competent and have changed their group’s topic for the better.
9. **DO NOT** apply for categories with banned membership.

### The Sections

To be a member of a category you must contact the category leader and submit an application that will be set up in the future.
