"It seems my students do not fully understand what it is to wield awesomeness. Perhaps we can show them what we know?"
―Istruttori on Apprentices
How to become an Apprentice?
Users who wish to become Apprentices may sign up at the Freshman listings to make an appointment with a sysop at the IRC. The user must specify what time the interview will be conducted, in order for the sysops to know what time they'll be on. Once both are online, the sysop then interviews the user three sets of questions via PM.
The three sets of questions will be based on three major aspects of the wiki: Editing, The Community and Knowledge over the series.
If the user fails to meet the sysop in the set time, he or she can set another appointment. (Note: Only a total of three missed appointments can be accumulated. The user can no longer make an appointment after the initial failed three.)
Once the user has cleared the interview, he or she can freely resume his or her activities at the wiki, while the sysop passes the results to the other sysops for a review.
If the user meets the staff's standards: He or she is given permission to sign up at the Freelance Listings, where he or she can be picked up by an Istruttore.
If the user does not meet the staff's standards: He/she is told about the final decision, and may or may not resume his/her wiki activities, depending on the user's decision.
While waiting for a master to pick him or her up, the Apprentice is permitted to work around the wiki while he/she waits. The Masters' that have their name signed up at the Active List will check the listings for an apprentice that matches their personal taste/liking, and when they find one, they can cross out the name of the apprentice off the list.
Once the master has chosen his apprentice, he or she will message the freelance at his or her talkpage and tell him that he/she has chosen him or her as his new understudy. The user is given the apprentice templates that will distinguish him from other users.
The user is now under the watch and guidance of his/her new master. The master has full responsibility over the apprentice, and can give him or her tasks to follow. From revamping a page, to adding a quote, and also fetching coffee. The apprentice will be able to learn from his master, while the master learns from his student, regarding various aspects.
What happens to the apprentice hereafter is up to the master to decide.
After an ample amount of time (1 to 4 months being the minimal), the Master can give his or her final input on his or her apprentice. The master then passes it along to the council of 2 (which consists of the Direttore and the Camerlengo), and tells them what he or she thinks about his or her understudy.
If the user has gained his or her master's positive input: The user will go through the Voting Process, how their masters ascended into the staff.
The apprentice is then evaluated by all of the staff, from other staff members, to the Bureaucrat himself. If the user gains enough votes, he or she is in. Get a negative ratio of Yays and Nays, and that user is out.
If the user has gained his or her master's negative input: The user will be given a template as a sign of recognition (a sort of "thanks for trying" template) and is permitted to continue his or her work around the wiki, depending on the user's decision. The user, after a certain time, can apply again for the apprenticeship.
If the user passes, he or she is now made an official Istruttore. He/She is given the same privileges as that of the staff, and is welcomed into the Istruttori with a more stable and secure position.
