Staff members are in charge of the management of the wiki. They monitor wiki activity and make sure everything goes smoothly. While all users can do most things on this site, such as reading and editing, staff can access a few additional tools.

What does each position do?

Bureaucrats are senior editors. As well as being full administrators, they can also grant extra user rights.

Administrators are trusted editors equipped with the tools to keep the wiki running smoothly. As well as being full discussions moderators and content moderators, they can also issue blocks to troublesome editors and grant limited user rights. They are authorized to use the tools at their disposal to deal with issues facing the wiki to the best of their ability.

Discussions Moderators are users who have additional tools available to manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having social discussions. They can remove, close, reopen, and restore threads and replies made by users on message walls, delete blog comments, edit and delete article comments, lock and delete posts and threads on Discussions, and handle reported Discussions content.

Content Moderators are editors who are able to edit and move protected pages and files, change protection of pages and files, and delete pages and files if necessary. They can also revert vandalism on pages using rollback and patrol pages.

How to Become Staff

Staff members are added only if new staff members are needed. In other words, staff members will generally only be added if the community gets significantly larger or an existing staff member goes inactive. Also note that users must first become either a discussions or content moderator. Then, they can eventually become an administrator and later a bureaucrat.

There is no application process. Instead, all users must be invited by the members of the current staff team to be eligible to become a discussions or content moderator. The process for promoting a non-staff member to a moderator is described below:

  1. An announcement may be made in Discussions stating that new moderators (either discussions moderators or content moderators) are needed. The thread will then be open to users nominating other non-staff members for the position. Note that this step may be skipped especially if there are extremely obvious candidates for moderators.
  2. The current staff members will create a shortlist of people that will be considered as potential moderators. If an announcement was made in Discussions, the shortlist will also take into account the people nominated by community members in the announcement thread. Otherwise, the shortlist is decided entirely by the current staff.
  3. Staff will then pick a certain amount of people from the shortlist. This number will vary depending on how many new moderators are needed. Then staff will vote to decide if they want the user to become a moderator. If not all of the people who initially got chosen passes the vote, more people from the shortlist will be picked until staff approves enough people to fill the moderator positions.
  4. Once the list of people that staff approves to become a moderator is finalized, a message is sent to all of the people on the final list indicating that they are offered the moderator position and can choose to either accept or decline the offer.
  5. Once all prospective staff members have either accepted or declined their offer, the members who accepted are officially promoted and an announcement will be made in Discussions regarding their promotion. Staff may reach out to someone else on the shortlist to offer them the position if one or more of the prospective staff members declines their offer, but this is not required.

The process of someone getting promoted from moderator to administrator is decided by a vote from the current administrators. New administrators will only be considered if they are needed. Note that due to how the bureaucrat role works, it is unlikely that anyone will be promoted to that role unless all of the current bureaucrats become inactive.

Guidelines for Staff Members

Below is a list of guidelines for staff members to follow for the benefit of the wiki community. Of course, staff members should also follow all of the rules listed in the policies page.

In Discussions

Discussions moderators and administrators are within their right as trusted members of the community to moderate conversations in Discussions. This means that they can lock/unlock threads, delete/undelete posts, handle reported content, edit posts, handle reported content, change the category of any post, and block users. (Blocking users can only be done by admins, while everything else can be done by both groups). Below are the expectations for discussions moderators and administrators. If you are not a discussions moderator or administrator, this section won't apply to you.

  • Your responsibility is to moderate Discussions by enforcing the guidelines and using the tools you have to make Discussions a better place for everyone.
  • Any user has the right to ask you why you deleted, locked, or edited a post or thread that they were involved in. If they do, you must respond why you did so, even if it is obviously stated in the rules why you did it. However, they do not have the right to ask you why you deleted, locked, or edited a post that they weren’t involved in.
  • Users may not ask you to reveal any deleted or edited content unless that content was from them.
  • When locking a post, please post a message explaining why you locked it. That way, not only will people understand why it’s locked, but they will know who locked it and can further inquire if they would like more explanation. The only exception is if it’s obvious why the post is locked.
  • Try to check the category of any new posts to make sure it aligns with the guidelines set. If not, change the category. You can do this without notice.
  • If you see a user that’s continually causing trouble in Discussions, warn them. If they continue to cause trouble, block them or notify an administrator to block them.
  • Try to frequently check posts which are reported (To access these, go to the Discussions main page, and there will be a link to “Reported Posts” under “Feed Moderation.”) If you see posts which are reported, try to resolve them by either deleting or approving them.
