Alright. As I have stated on your admin request, I'm posting some steps here on what to do to be a good admin. Even though you're an admin, there are some things you can do but it's still better to consult others in some cases.

1. First of all, now you're able to create infobox and navigation templates without restriction. For the infoboxes, make sure you use the same style but different color for a different infoboxes (like the Character infobox uses a blue color and the Enemies one uses a light green color). As for navigation templates, it's okay to create but rememeber two things: One, you have to be working on creating the pages in the navs. And two, as of now, try not to create any more navs since there are a lot out there that needs to be created. I'm trying to work on Paper Mario series myself so I can hope to complete them.

2. You can also edit on Mediawiki or CSS pages. However, these pages are extremely important and you should always consult me if a change needs to be done. One little mistake can mess up a lot of things so don't edit the Mediawiki or CSS pages without letting me know what you're doing first.

3. You can also do other things such as update the Featured Article pages. However, make sure that a page is nominated way before hand first instead of seleting a random page at the last minute. For September, I plan one making the Mario Bros. House the featured article so you don't have to worry about that for now.

4. Probably one of the biggest ones is that you now have the ability to block users. I don't need to say too much here as everything is pretty much explained in the Blocking Policy. Make sure you read over that and always warn a user before blocking them. A user has a right to know what they're doing is wrong before issuing a block. The only time to block a user right away is either if they made multiple bad mistakes (such as vandalizing more than one page and continues to do so) or if they are sockpuppets. Sockpuppets always recieve infinite blocks.

5. Finally, never promote other users to lesser positions without consulting me first. Remember, we're the only active admins that particpate in things like this (no offense to Jospeh but he isn't really the social person that doesn't take part in discussions like this). That means if one user wants to be say a rollback and you want to promote that user, remember I also have a say in it.

That's pretty much all I can think of right now. Remember if you have any questions, just tell me and I'll try to answer as fast as I can (I tend to be busy these days). A good thing about you being admin is you're around a lot more than me where I tend to be on either early in the morning or late at night.
