The Final Fantasy Wiki maintains a select number of users who have earned the trust needed to run the Wiki. These users, known as the "staff", are awarded with certain capabilities, which in turn give them more responsibility towards the [[Project:Moderation|moderation]] and maintenance of the Wiki. Such positions are awarded to those who continually show that they are willing to create and write in-depth articles, cover a scope of a project, and/or revert vandalism.
+
'''Staff''' on the [[Project:About|''Final Fantasy'' Wiki]] are users with higher [[Help:User access levels|user access levels]]. They are awarded their position both in recognition of their work, and out of trust for their ability to use to the tools well for the [[Project:Moderation|moderation]] and maintenance of the wiki. All staff members are accountable to the ''Final Fantasy'' Wiki's [[#Community standards|community standards]].
   
āˆ’
Below is a list of staff based on responsibility and right, included with a trivial reason for their rights. Please note that the reason may not be their only sole contribution to the FFWiki. A Staff member will be indicated with a ''busy [[cactuar]]'' ([[File:Cactuar.gif|32px]]) on their userpage. Questions and requests to staff can be asked at the '''[[Project:Staff Noticeboard|Staff Noticeboard]]'''. To nominate a user to the Staff, head to the [[Project:Requests for Promotion|Requests for Promotion]] page.

'''Administrators''' are users with '''sysop''' ([[wikipedia:System operator|<u>sys</u>tem <u>op</u>erator]]) [[Help:User access levels|user access levels]]. This includes the ability to [[Help:Delete|delete and undelete]] pages, [[Help:Reverting|roll back]] edits, [[Help:Page protection|protect and unprotect]] pages, [[Help:Blocking|block and unblock]] users, and [[Help:System messages|edit the site's interface]].
āˆ’
Administrators are Final Fantasy Wiki users who have sysop ('''Sys'''tem '''Op'''erator) rights. While they do not own the Wiki and are equal to other users in terms of editorial responsibility, they are entrusted with several performance and security features to help ensure the smooth-running of the Wiki. Users may seek them out to perform maintenance to the FFWiki, and for advice and information.
 
  +
  +
In addition, administrators have two rights on the Discord server: the ability to block/kick trolls, and access to the Admin Lab, a suite of tools on Discord that includes access to all of our social media accounts and [[User:Intangir Bot|Intangir Bot]] (though Intangir Bot should not be used without permission). Because of their access to social media, influence in policy discussions, and ability to block users, administrators are expected to show good judgment and leadership skills.

'''Bureaucrats''' are administrators with the ability to add and remove the administrator role to and from users. They also have full rights on the Discord server.

==Moderators==
  +
'''Content moderators''' are quasi-administrators, with the ability to delete and undelete pages, roll back edits, and semi-protect pages.
āˆ’
Moderators are users who have been granted additional rights by [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|bureaucrats]]. While they are equal to other users in terms of editorial responsibility, they are especially trusted to keep articles safe from vandalism and bad-faith edits. In particular, users who show dedication to the wiki are usually made moderators, because their status gives them abilities that facilitate heavy-duty editing, but could be misused by newcomers. These abilities are [[Help:Rollback|Rollback]], the ability to move any number of articles without being halted by spam restrictions, the ability to move files to new names, the ability to suppress redirects when moving a page, the ability to move over a redirect, the ability to delete and protect pages, and the ability to mark edits as patrolled.

Users who were marked as inactive (gray) during the most recent change to moderator rights (August 2017) have not had their rights changed; however, if they become active again they can request that their rights be changed by contacting [[User:ScatheMote|ScatheMote]].

Bots are not actual users, but they are user accounts that are operated by users. Bots are given both the Sysop and Bot flag; the former is used only to edit protected pages (as bots cannot carry out sysop tasks), while the latter hides the bot's edits from the RecentChanges by default. Bots are generally used to make rapid fixes to multiple changes, as well as maintenance. They can be operated either using the AutoWikiBrowser program, JavaScript, or [[Help:Pywikibot|pywikibot]] scripts.

==Community standards==
  +
Because staff members are entrusted with a higher access level than normal users, they are expected to uphold a high [[Project:Conduct|standard of conduct]], observe and respect the process of [[Project:Consensus|consensus]], and fulfill their responsibilities when needed. Administrators also fulfill the role of judging the outcome of certain discussions, and then codifying the resulting consensus.
  +
  +
Staff members are expected to exercise care and judgment, as the enforcement and fulfillment of the community's policies and administrative needs are generally left to staff member discretion. Staff members should not be impeded by excessive bureaucracy and formal procedures. However, they should take care that any autonomous action respects existing relevant consensus and is unlikely to be contentious.
  +
  +
Staff member are not, nor are they to act is if, they are a rank above normal contributors. Although staff members are authorized to act on behalf ''of'' the community (e.g. enforcing policy), their title is not a conferment of power ''over'' the community.

Staff on the Final Fantasy Wiki are users with higher user access levels. They are awarded their position both in recognition of their work, and out of trust for their ability to use to the tools well for the moderation and maintenance of the wiki. All staff members are accountable to the Final Fantasy Wiki's community standards.

Below is a list of staff by their user access level, including what they can be contacted for. Staff members will also be indicated with a busy cactuar (Cactuar) on their userpage. Questions and requests to staff can be asked at the Discord, or the Staff Noticeboard. To nominate a user to the Staff, head to the Requests for Promotion page.

Administrators

Administrators are users with sysop (system operator) user access levels. This includes the ability to delete and undelete pages, roll back edits, protect and unprotect pages, block and unblock users, and edit the site's interface.

In addition, administrators have two rights on the Discord server: the ability to block/kick trolls, and access to the Admin Lab, a suite of tools on Discord that includes access to all of our social media accounts and Intangir Bot (though Intangir Bot should not be used without permission). Because of their access to social media, influence in policy discussions, and ability to block users, administrators are expected to show good judgment and leadership skills.

Bureaucrats are administrators with the ability to add and remove the administrator role to and from users. They also have full rights on the Discord server.

Bots

Bots are not actual users, but they are user accounts that are operated by users. Bots are given both the sysop and bot flag; the former is used only to edit protected pages (as bots cannot carry out sysop tasks), while the latter hides the bot's edits from the RecentChanges by default. Bots are generally used to make rapid fixes to multiple changes, as well as maintenance. They can be operated either using the AutoWikiBrowser program, JavaScript, or pywikibot scripts.

Bot accounts

The FFWiki makes all its edits through a few bot accounts operated by multiple users.

Abuse filter Intangir Bot


  • Abuse filter - Automatically blocks vandals that trigger filters set by sysops.
  • Intangir Bot - The FFWiki's official bot account, operated by any user with access.

Operators

All operators use the bot to perform tasks that are requested by users.

Community standards

Because staff members are entrusted with a higher access level than normal users, they are expected to uphold a high standard of conduct, observe and respect the process of consensus, and fulfill their responsibilities when needed. Administrators also fulfill the role of judging the outcome of certain discussions, and then codifying the resulting consensus.

Staff members are expected to exercise care and judgment, as the enforcement and fulfillment of the community's policies and administrative needs are generally left to staff member discretion. Staff members should not be impeded by excessive bureaucracy and formal procedures. However, they should take care that any autonomous action respects existing relevant consensus and is unlikely to be contentious.

Staff member are not, nor are they to act is if, they are a rank above normal contributors. Although staff members are authorized to act on behalf of the community (e.g. enforcing policy), their title is not a conferment of power over the community.
