Project:Staff

This is an official Policy of the Mope.io Wiki.
It is an accepted practice that all editors of this wiki should follow. If you believe there should be changes made to this policy, consult an administrator.

This policy in a nutshell:
List of current staff, and explanation of user groups

Not to be confused with Developers

Note to staff: Please read the abuse of power policy; it is important.

Staff on the Mope.io Wiki are users who have special features that enable them to perform distinct tasks, for the better of the community. They moderate and keep this wiki a peaceful place. Each staff member is marked specifically by different colored names, and a badge next to their name as seen below.^{[note 1]}

This page is about local wiki staff, who are not to be confused with Fandom Staff. Local wiki staff only have ranks on this wiki, while Fandom Staff are employees of Fandom who have staff powers across all wikis.

Staff ranks

Bureaucrat

Bureaucrats are users who can change the user groups of other users. They are able to promote users to staff, and are the leaders of the wiki. Because bureaucrats also have administrator rights, the term "admin" normally refers to both admins and bureaucrats.

Since the bureaucrat user group can only be removed by the user themselves or Fandom Staff, this position is only granted with consensus from all current staff members.

Administrator

Administrators, also referred to as Admins or Sysops, are a step below bureaucrat. They have the same rights as Content Moderators, but can additionally block users, edit any MediaWiki page, and access the AdminDashboard, among other features. Admins can also promote users to the Discussion Moderator position.

Content Moderator

Content Moderators have the ability to control the status of any non-MediaWiki page. They can delete/restore pages, protect them and edit protected pages, re-upload deleted files and re-name files. They also have rollback rights automatically, and will sometimes be given discussion moderatorship (though the latter can be removed by request or if a content mod rarely is active in discussions).

Discussions Moderator

Discussions Moderators, also called Thread Moderators, have the ability to control every discussion posts, message wall threads, and article/blog comments. They can lock/close discussion posts and message wall threads, delete and edit article comments, and re-open closed discussions. The rollback position might be granted in conjunction with discussion mod, if the user is active in mainspace article editing.

Bot

Bots are used for mass edits of simple things, such as grammar fixes, removing red-links or changing templates. Their edits will be hidden from RecentChanges to not flood wiki activity. Bots are given at least content moderator rights so that they won't be barred by page protections. To get an account flagged as a bot, explicit permission is required from a bureaucrat, who will then send a request to Fandom Staff. There is currently only one staff-owned bot account: GaiaTheBot. Users who do not have staff rights on their main account are allowed to have an alternate account flagged as a bot, with permission.

Trial Staff

Trial Staff are users of this wiki that have been given temporary content moderator or discussions moderator rights. If they make good use of their temporary staff rights during the trial, they may be permanently promoted to their position. By the permission of an administrator, a user who has displayed rule-abiding conduct and been a friendly presence in the wiki community may be offered to become trial staff. Users who are trialling will also be given a "Trial Staff" user tag, which is stored at MediaWiki:ProfileTags.
