The branch-based '''hierarchy''' of the [[PikminFanon:Guild of Bulborbs|Guild of Bulborbs]] is simple yet effective. This page exists to detail each branch and its roles and responsibilities.


This is the page that lists various ranks for the [[PikminFanon:Guild of Bulborbs|Guild of Bulborbs]].  
New recruits to the Guild of Bulborbs are called apprentices. They are mentored by their branch's more experienced members, masters, who have more duties than apprentices do and must be willing to guide and assist their apprentices. Masters must have one current apprentice at a minimum, although they may have several simultaneously. Apprentices and masters alike can vote on community-submitted proposals, and each vote holds equal weight.


== Requirements ==
Apprentices that qualify to become a master of their particular branch, have been part of it for two weeks' time, and are willing to undertake additional responsibilities may notify the [[#Spotty Bulbear|Spotty Bulbear]], the Guild's current leader, who will promote them and additionally present to them an updated [[PikminFanon:Guild of Bulborbs/The Bulborb's Guide to the Guild|Guild signature]]. Alternatively, someone an eligible user associates with may also notify the Spotty Bulbear of that user's qualifications.


A few requirements exist for anyone who wishes to join the guild:
Please note that the following ranks are the only ones legitimately recognized by the Guild of Bulborbs. Any user that claims to have a role other than those listed is merely joking.


*Must be a registered user
__TOC__


*Must not have a bad history (trolling, spamming, etc.)
==Leader voting and absence==
The current Spotty Bulbear can not, under any circumstances, determine who succeeds them as the leader of the Guild of Bulborbs; this task belongs to the community, who votes for suitable candidates when the time comes to select a new Spotty Bulbear. They may, however, change their Guild signature to reflect their position.


*Must be active
If the current Spotty Bulbear knowingly must become inactive for a reasonable span of time, they may select a master of their choice to temporarily give their powers, but not rank, until they return. Should the current Spotty Bulbear be offline for longer than ninety days, the elected master assumes the role of Spotty Bulbear. In the event the former Spotty Bulbear returns after this point, their rank is restored, and the substitute Spotty Bulbear is returned to their normal status.


*Must be [[PikminFanon:Ranks#Leaf|Leaf Ranked]] or higher
If the current Spotty Bulbear steps down from their position or is declared permanently offline, a vote will be held to determine the next Spotty Bulbear. Masters can apply to be a candidate for the vote, and in doing so they must present their case for becoming the next Spotty Bulbear and a list of tasks they would accomplish while they occupied the position. Once at least a week has passed since users initially applied for the position, the vote is held. If two or more candidates have the same number of votes, all other candidates will be disqualified and the vote held again between those whose votes were tied. This process will repeat until one candidate comes out on top.


*Must be willing to join in important guild decisions (the Spotty Bulbear makes the final ruling depending on what was decided, but ''all'' members should participate in any big decisions).
=Ranks=
==Snow Bulborb==
These users could be considered the welcoming committee of [[PikminFanon:About|Pikmin Fanon]]. Their primary duties are to welcome and assist new users; as such, they will need to often access the [[Special:Log/newusers|new users log]]. They should also be willing to check the [[Forum:Ask Louie|Ask Louie forum]] and answer questions posed there.


== Apprentices And Masters ==
===Apprentice===
[[File:P2 Snow Bulborb.jpg|right|120px|link=]]
;Requirements
*Be [[PikminFanon:Ranks#Leaf|leaf rank]] or higher;
*Know how to make internal and external links, create templates, format text, move pages, and the like;
*Be always ready to lend a hand and help new users;
*Treat all users fairly and equally without any favoritism.


''Apprentices'' are the beginning rank for those who join the Guild of Bulborbs. They are beginning in some particular duty related to their type. They are usually "mentored" and helped by ''Masters''. If they participate long enough and fulfill all the requirements, a Spotty Bulbear can upgrade them to "Master" status.
===Master===
[[File:P2 Hairy Bulborb.jpg|right|120px|link=]]
;Requirements
*Be [[PikminFanon:Ranks#Bud|bud rank]] or higher.


Masters have been at the job for a while and are the experts of their particular field. If an Apprentice becomes a Master, they are presented with a new "master sig" by the Spotty Bulbear. Masters have more duties for their job than Apprentices, and must be willing to help and guide Apprentices.
===Guild signatures===

A third rank, "Leader", also exists. This only applies to the Spotty Bulbear. Only one can exist at a time (see further down the page for more information on the Spotty Bulbear). A Bulbear can allow more users into the Guild and can upgrade Apprentices to Masters. However, they notably ''cannot'' determine who is the next Leader. If they choose to step down from their role or have been declared permanently inactive, they are considered to no longer be the Spotty Bulbear (if vacation or some other factor is involved and known, then they do not lose rank)*. A vote will be held in which Masters can apply to become the next Spotty Bulbear and present their case for why they should be the next Spotty Bulbear and what they would do if given that position. They will also provide a list to see if they qualify for the rank. Once at least a week has gone by since the first user applied for the position, a vote is held. If it is a tie between some, those who did not tie will be excluded and votes will be collected again. This will continue until a new Spotty Bulbear is voted in, who will then create a Guild signature for himself.
==Red Bulborb==
These users are dedicated to improving the quality of articles. Among the duties of these users are improving low- or medium-quality articles, expanding stubs, linking orphaned pages, categorizing pages, and otherwise cleaning up the wiki.


*Apprentices and Masters can both vote and each vote holds equal importance with any other vote. Candidates cannot vote.
===Apprentice===

*Be [[PikminFanon:Ranks#Leaf|leaf rank]] or higher;
*Be able and willing to improve articles, rewriting them if necessary;

Guild signatures are the "badge of office" for Guild Members. Only the Spotty Bulbear can create and give Guild Sigs. Guild sigs appear as they do below, and the user's name will follow immediately after. Guild sigs are used when dealing with Guild matters and duties, but are not supposed to be the primary sig used for the Fanon. Guild sigs are mandatory when dealing with Guild matters as it indicates that a Guild member is responsible.

Spotty Bulbears must be fair but also look critically to see if users meet the standards for one position or another. Although they certainly can participate in improving articles, welcoming users, searching for spam, etc., these are not mandatory duties.
 
Whenever a user joins the Guild or upgrades from Apprentice to Master, the Spotty Bulbear will have to approve them first. If he does, he will present them with a new guild sig.
 
'''IMPORTANT:''' If the Spotty Bulbear becomes inactive on the wiki, knowing ahead of time, they can choose any Master and give them powers of the Spotty Bulbear, yet they won't actually be the Spotty Bulbear. Should the current Spotty Bulbear be inactive for more than 4 months, the Master automatically assumes role of the Spotty Bulbear. In the event that the former user who occupied position of the Bulbear returns after the 4 month period, their rank returns, and the newer Bulbear becomes a Master once more.

Guild of Bulborbs.jpg
Guild notice
The Guild of Bulborbs is currently inactive due to a lack of staff to help maintain it. If you are a staff member and would like the guild to be revived, please consider taking a position.

The branch-based hierarchy of the Guild of Bulborbs is simple yet effective. This page exists to detail each branch and its roles and responsibilities.

New recruits to the Guild of Bulborbs are called apprentices. They are mentored by their branch's more experienced members, masters, who have more duties than apprentices do and must be willing to guide and assist their apprentices. Masters must have one current apprentice at a minimum, although they may have several simultaneously. Apprentices and masters alike can vote on community-submitted proposals, and each vote holds equal weight.

Apprentices that qualify to become a master of their particular branch, have been part of it for two weeks' time, and are willing to undertake additional responsibilities may notify the Spotty Bulbear, the Guild's current leader, who will promote them and additionally present to them an updated Guild signature. Alternatively, someone an eligible user associates with may also notify the Spotty Bulbear of that user's qualifications.

Please note that the following ranks are the only ones legitimately recognized by the Guild of Bulborbs. Any user that claims to have a role other than those listed is merely joking.

Leader voting and absence

The current Spotty Bulbear can not, under any circumstances, determine who succeeds them as the leader of the Guild of Bulborbs; this task belongs to the community, who votes for suitable candidates when the time comes to select a new Spotty Bulbear. They may, however, change their Guild signature to reflect their position.

If the current Spotty Bulbear knowingly must become inactive for a reasonable span of time, they may select a master of their choice to temporarily give their powers, but not rank, until they return. Should the current Spotty Bulbear be offline for longer than ninety days, the elected master assumes the role of Spotty Bulbear. In the event the former Spotty Bulbear returns after this point, their rank is restored, and the substitute Spotty Bulbear is returned to their normal status.

If the current Spotty Bulbear steps down from their position or is declared permanently offline, a vote will be held to determine the next Spotty Bulbear. Masters can apply to be a candidate for the vote, and in doing so they must present their case for becoming the next Spotty Bulbear and a list of tasks they would accomplish while they occupied the position. Once at least a week has passed since users initially applied for the position, the vote is held. If two or more candidates have the same number of votes, all other candidates will be disqualified and the vote held again between those whose votes were tied. This process will repeat until one candidate comes out on top.
