Wikipedia is no place for humour. Everything is very serious here and we are all terrifically important. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Adminship may be passed on to your heirs. |
It's generally known that Wikipedia Administratorship is a lifetime appointment. Actually, there are rare circumstances when Admins may be impeached -- four, to be precise. An admin is subject to removal if s/he:
- Attacks the building housing the servers with rocket or mortar fire. Note: must be 40mm or more.
- Gets stinking drunk at Wikimania and suggests a "quick threesome" to any two members of the Foundation.
- Is exposed as an agent of B.R.I.T.T.A.N.I.C.A. (but only if in the 00 category, with a license to cite).
- Builds a rocket ship out of Q-Tips, goes to Jupiter, recruits an army of Jovians, and uses their telepathic powers to influence the outcome of policy discussions.
However, assuming good behavior -- that is, none of the above -- admins may assume that their adminship will not expire before they do. In that case, the adminship will be passed on to their immediate heir, that is, the oldest child, defined by the usual rules of primogeniture.
Inheriting admins style themselves with first name, number in line of succession, and admin line name (name of the originating admin). Thus, for example: Argleb, Third Admin of Herostratus, and so forth.
In the event of a disputed succession, the contesting parties are advised to cross the Channel and raise an army of horsemen.
