Gangstar Wiki:Staff

Staff (Moderators, Administrators and Managers) are users on Gangstar Wiki with the responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly. The main job of all Staff is to help users, so don't hesitate to ask a member of Staff if you have any problems or questions.

Certain Staff also have various rights, administrative tools and authority over the wiki. There are three levels of Staff on Gangstar Wiki. No users other than the ones mentioned here have any administrative privileges or decision-making authority.

Promotion
Promotion exercises are currently not open. This is due to the extreme low level of activity on this wiki. Case-by-case promotions will be decided upon by the Chief Bureaucrat.

No user may be promoted direct from editor to bureaucrat. Users must be promoted to bureaucrat, at minimum, from the admin level.

Patrollers Rights:
 * Rollback edits (quick revert)
 * Move pages
 * Patrol other users' edits

Administrators
Administrators (Admins or SysOps) are members of Staff with tools and authority to solve disputes and keep the wiki running smoothly. Administrators are still just editors of the wiki, and the main part of their job is the help other users; but they enforce the policy of Gangstar, and occasionally need to step in and use their additional tools to solve problems. All admin decisions are subject to approval from the bureaucrats and/or the Chief Bureaucrat.

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are the users that steer Gangstar Wiki. They have authority in any disputes, and can approve large-scale changes to the wiki. As well as being full Administrators, Bureaucrats can also promote other users to staff. All bureaucratic decisions must be made with prior approval from the Chief Bureaucrat.

 * Promote staff and/or member subject to approval by Chief Bureaucrat

 * Approves, interprets and modifies policy subject to approval by Chief Bureaucrat
