Moderator elections are being hosted to ease reliance on Valve due to changes in time since the creation of the wiki that prohibit admins from being able to do meaningful work.
Moderators have the ability to:
- Block other users from editing
- Protect pages and edit protected pages
- Delete pages
along with other select permissions.
Moderators will retain their permissions indefinitely unless it is decided that they can not uphold their duties as a moderator, either through resignation or through community/administrative decision.

Running
Users who would like to run for moderator must be autoconfirmed and have at least 300 edits. Users can check their own edit count at Special:Preferences. You will be removed from the list of users running if you do not meet the requirements listed.
To add yourself, place the following under the Users running for moderator section:
{{SUBST:Moderator entry|{{SUBST:REVISIONUSER}}|reason for running --~~~~}}
Elections have no specific timeframe and will be decided based when it is felt that they should end.
Voting
Voting can be done with the Vote template. Usage can be found in its docs. Place your vote under its respective section and add ~~~~ to the end of it.
Users running for moderator
Place entries below this line.
Nescius
User: Nescius (Special:Contributions/Nescius)
Reason: Being able to delete occasional accidentally created pages would be convenient --Nescius (talk) 19:21, 16 June 2024 (PDT)
Yes
No
Mr. SystemError
User: Mr. SystemError (Special:Contributions/Mr. SystemError)
Reason: There are a lot of pages and files marked for deletion, and the last vandal account was banned from editing months after the last time that account was active. I have reverted various vandalism and can help. Mr. System Error(T - C) 00:13, 17 June 2024 (PDT)
Yes
No
Max34
User: Max34 (Special:Contributions/Max34)
Reason: I often visit this site and review all the changes since my last visit. Although I am the person who is more concerned about the technical part of the site (creating and updating templates, keeping the code clean), I will not allow some vandals to break the site. This site has become almost a second home to me, because when I’m having a hard time and I’m burning out, this site saves me. --Max34 (talk) 01:08, 17 June 2024 (PDT)
