## Pathway to Adminship

Would you like to be an admin, bureaucrat, content moderator, or other type of rights holder on the Our Flag Means Death wiki? That's awesome! Currently, the wiki is very small, so there is not an official process for gaining rights. If you would like to gain rights, please contribute consistently to the wiki for at least one month. You do not need to edit everyday, but you should have significant edits throughout the weeks for one month. After the month, please contact the current bureaucrat on their Message Wall. Let them know what rights you are interested in and why you want those rights. It will be up to the discretion of the bureaucrat to give rights or not. If the bureaucrat denies your request, they will let you know why.
