Best Answer

Supervisor candidates are primarily selected based on nominations by current supervisors. In fact, each candidate must be approved by a committee of at least three existing supervisors. Prospective supervisors are evaluated based on a number of criteria that may include, but are not limited to:

  • Answer quality
  • Recategorization accuracy
  • Editing proficiency
  • Communication with fellow contributors
  • Time since registration

Each new Supervisor receives a number of help documents to assist them in using the new tools at their disposal. For new Supers, pairing with a Mentor is highly recommended.

Also, new Supervisors need to submit their contact information. This information is never sold to third parties.

Becoming a Supervisor is a big responsibility, as you are equipped with tools, known as "Super Powers", that regular contributors cannot use. Supervisors can feature questions, merge, revert, split, batch recategorize, trash, warn a contributor, block a contributor, supervise discussion pages and protect questions. Since they have so much power, it is important that you know how to use them and will use them properly. Not doing the right thing with Super Powers means that you may lose the privilege of being a Supervisor, which explains why reliability plays an important part in letting a contributor become a supervisor.

You must be at least 15 years old to become a Supervisor and must have at least 500 quality contributions. If you would like to become a supervisor, email supervisor @ wikianswers.com (remove spaces).
