		+	:Hey TMBGLOVER, please [[HRWiki:FAQ#How do I become an admin or sysop?\|check the FAQ section "How do I become an admin or sysop?"]]. Be aware that ''"Have a large number of meaningful main namespace contributions"'' and ''"It is extremely unlikely that we would promote a relative newcomer"'' are prominently listed {{--}} as you've only been a wiki user for three days and have not made any main namespace edits it should be quite some time before you should worry about becoming an admin.<br>Additionally, rather than directing general wiki questions to Tom you should try asking on [[Talk:Main Page]] or [[HRWiki talk:FAQ]] where more users are likely to see it and help you. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 22:30, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Now, if there is really nothing else you can do, or if you still no longer hold any interest in helping me, I would understand and be done.
