The Demotion Project is a place where any user can vote on users to be demoted.
- Rules
- You can not vote for or against yourself.
- You must have made at least 20 edits this month.
- A user that was nominated for demotion cannot be nominated again in the following month.
- A vote closes after 2 weeks.
- How to nominate a user
- Contact an admin and mention the nominee's username. Tell the admin why you believe a demotion should be done.
- This admin will then confirm whether it's a reason for demotion. If possible, it's also recommended that 2 admins will confirm it.
- Nominating
To nominate, paste the following text in the bottom of the page and fill in the parameters
==<nominee> (0)== :Nominated by <your name> and confirmed by <administrator's name> <reason> ===For (0)=== ===Against (0)=== ===Comments===
- <nominee>- the nominee for demotion.
- <your name>- the name of the person that request the demotion.
- <administrator's name>- the name of the confirming admin(s).
- <reason>- the reason for demotion.
- Voting
Vote under the "For" section if you want to vote for, and sign under the "Against" section if you vote against. Signing is done by adding to the bottom of the list of votes:
#~~~~
Your signature must contain your user name and/or a link to your use page (or user talk or contributions).
Remember to change the number of votes in the heading when voting.
Dps04 (-8)
Dps is rather inactive on the wiki, and barely ever uses his rights. He has made just 5 mainspace edits in the past 3 weeks. He made only 15 in the whole of March. I don't really feel he is active enough to be an administrator.

- Regardless of the reasons, mass demotions are horrible ways for improving stuff- it's way more likely to result in a huge mess than improving. Therefore i'm afraid i'll have to oppose to this demotion wave. Instead, it would be more beneficial to contanct these users about your feedbacks and see if it changes anything.

- Right with ya, Penguin-Pal.Close to the end of school... What to do? (talk) 16:00, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Penguin-Pal makes a good point. It would be better to tell these users what they could improve on instead of demoting them. We're not really in the position to be laying off employees anyway, as we don't have many users at the moment who are experienced enough to replace them (at least in my opinion). --Hey.youcp 22:18, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- No way, Dps is a great admin. --Chunky! 17:47, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Per above. April Flowers bloom in patterns! 17:51, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I believe Dps is just busy with his school work. If that is the case, then his lack of activity is excused. -- S h u r o w 21:33, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
Green Ninja (-3)
- Nominated by Spydar007 and confirmed by Callum Fawsitt. Vote ends May 6, 2015.
Although he is not violating the demotion policy, Green Ninja is inactive quite a lot and barely ever makes mainspace edits. He also rarely uses his patroller rights. For this reason, he should be demoted.

- I've been busy. Only starting to edit again, so please give me another chance and I won't let anybody down. ɐɾuıN uǝǝɹפ (talk) 14:52, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- You've been quite inactive for a while and I don't think "being busy" is really a valid excuse. — Spydar007 (Talk) 14:55, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- It is. This week is vacation week where I can get a lot of editing in, and with summer coming means more activity for me. High school requires dedicated time. ɐɾuıN uǝǝɹפ (talk) 15:00, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

- No! He's active frequently and makes mainspace edits often, but I think it's better if we remove Phineas' Chat Mod rights for now. April Flowers bloom in patterns! 14:57, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Historical (Phineas) told me on Twitter he is busy with exams and he was traveling. -- S h u r o w 21:33, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
Vicyorus (-2)
Vicyorus is inactive, and, other than 4 edits, is in violation of the wiki's Demotion Policy.

- Are we going to demote half the wiki? Goodness. Although Vic is probably going to retire soon as he has said so I doubt putting a vote for it is necessary, but whatever floats your boat I guess. –Watatsuki 15:50, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Vicyorus came on chat before and said he was busy with school. His absence should be excused. That is not fair to him. -- S h u r o w 21:33, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I talked to him in a chat PM last week and he said he's very busy with school and that it's only uphill from here. He said he's planning on resigning soon, so I think we should respect his decision and let him take care of it himself. --Hey.youcp 22:18, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- One of my friends I suppose, but I don't think he uses his rights well. Let's do the Time-Warp again!WikiaFrog
Watatsuki (0)
I believe that Watatsuki abuses his rights quite a bit, and I know that many other users feel the same way. I am sure that other users' will be able to help me in coming up with specific examples of this in the comments. Whilst he makes good mainspace edits to the wiki, I feel that his administrator powers are overused and he does not deserve to be one.

- YES PLEASE! I don't think Watatsuki is suitable for modding at all, no offense. April Flowers bloom in patterns! 17:23, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- We're losing active users and admins? Better demote our most active admin then. ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o) Jokes aside though, he's a good admin for the most part. If anyone thinks there's something he can improve on, they can talk to him in chat or leave him a message on his talk page. --Hey.youcp 22:18, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I disagree with ur point. Watat won't listen to most users FYI. April Flowers bloom in patterns! 22:24, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I dont really see you listening to me in turn though but eh, whatever ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o) all I have really heard is "you are a bad mod" and "you should be demoted" but never anything constructive. –Watatsuki 22:26, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
