Gravewood High Wiki:Staff

The staff are the people that run the Gravewood High Wiki. They manage, customize, and edit the wiki. To apply for a staff position, see Admin Applications.

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats have the ability to manipulate user rights, as well as block and unblock users, so this right is generally used in addition to the administrator group.

They have the ability to promote and revoke rollback, Content Moderator, and administrator rights as well as appointing new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, they can remove their own. Bureaucrats also have the ability to remove a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning, but bot flag requests are handled by staff after being approved (by either a bureaucrat or the community).

Having this status causes the tag "BUREAUCRAT" to appear next to user's username on their profile.

The bureaucrat status can only be removed by Fandom Staff or by the bureaucrat themselves.

Administrators
Administrators (also known as "admins" or "sysops") are trusted users who are generally chosen by the community and also have access to the following rights: Being an administrator makes the tag "ADMIN" appear next to a user's name on their profile.
 * All privileges from both the Content Moderator and Discussions Moderator groups.
 * Block users from editing and other actions.
 * Grant and revoke both the Chat Moderator and Discussions Moderator rights.
 * Edit the community's skin and format.
 * Edit white-listed MediaWiki pages.

Content Moderators
Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate specific parts of the community. These tools are: Having this status causes the tag "CONTENT MODERATOR" to appear next to the user's username in their profile.
 * Editing and moving fully protected pages
 * Deleting and undeleting pages and files
 * Editing and moving protected files
 * Rollback
 * Re-upload files
 * Protecting and unprotecting pages
 * Patrolling pages if the community has the RecentChanges patrol feature enabled
 * Deleting article comments

Rollbacks
Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. The "rollback" permission allows a user to undo bad edits with one click: by using the rollback link on diff pages, the user's contributions page, or the list of recent changes.

Content moderators and admins have this permission by default. It can also be granted to other users by adding them to the rollback group.

The tag next to the user's profile can't be seen unless the UserTags JS script is enabled on your wiki.

Founders
A community's founder is automatically given admin and bureaucrat rights during the community's creation. This allows them to edit the community's skin and format. As more contributors join, it's a good idea for founders to appoint trusted users as admins, content moderators, discussions moderators, and rollbacks. Founders have a "FOUNDER" tag on their profile.
