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 users and grant limited user rights.
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 and edit and delete article comments
- Moderate conversations in Discussions
Content Moderators are editors who can edit and move protected pages and files as well as change protection of and delete pages and files. They can also revert vandalism on pages using rollback and patrol pages.

How to Become Staff
Staff members are added only if they are needed. Non-staff members first either become a discussions or content moderator (or both).
There is no application process. Instead, to become a moderator, users must be invited by the members of the current staff team. This process is described below:
- 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. This step may be skipped especially if there are extremely obvious candidates for moderators.
- 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.
- The current staff members will then vote to choose the people they want to be moderators. The number of people will vary depending on how many new moderators are needed.
- Once the list of people that the current staff members approve 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. They can choose to either accept or decline the offer.
- Once all prospective moderators have either accepted or declined their offer, those who accepted are officially promoted. If one or more of the prospective moderators declines their offer, staff may reach out to someone else on the shortlist to offer them the position, but this is not required.
- Once all promotions are finalized, an announcement will be made in Discussions regarding the promotions.
The process of someone getting promoted from moderator to administrator is decided by a vote from the current staff members. New administrators will only be considered if they are needed.
Because of how the bureaucrat role works, bureaucrats will only be considered if all of the existing bureaucrats become inactive. In this case, the most active administrator will get promoted.
Guidelines for Staff Members
In Discussions
Discussions moderators and administrators are within their right as trusted members of the community to moderate conversations in Discussions by enforcing the guidelines and using the tools you have to make Discussions a better place for everyone.. This means that they can do the following:
- Lock and unlock threads
- Delete, undelete, and edit posts
- Handle reported content
- Change the category of any post
- Block users (administrators only)
Below is a list of guidelines for these staff members. Of course, guidelines cannot cover every possible case, and staff members have the right to make exceptions if necessary. If you are not a discussions moderator or administrator, this section won't apply to you.
- Any user can ask you why you deleted, locked, or edited a post or thread that they were involved in.
- Users cannot ask you why you deleted, locked, or edited a post that they weren’t involved in.
- Users cannot ask you to reveal any deleted or edited content unless that content was from them.
- When locking a post, it is helpful to post a message explaining why it's locked. That way, not only will people understand why it’s locked, but they will know who locked it and can further inquire if necessary.
- However, if it’s obvious why the post is locked, making such a post is not necessary.
- Try to check the category of any new posts to make sure it aligns with the discussions policies. 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 any posts that are reported, try to resolve them by either deleting or approving them.
