The staff of the Sandman Wiki are users who provide support and resources to the community, as well as oversee the maintenance of the site.
Groups[]
Bureaucrat[]
Bureaucrats are users with the ability to manipulate users to promote or demote to any user right. This right is generally given to those in the admin group. They are responsible for maintaining, protecting, and promoting lawful wiki users and keeping wiki vandals in check. Bureaucrats cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, but they can remove their own.
Administrator[]
Administrators are the primary users in the wiki staff. They have the most responsibilities of the entire staff, and are equipped with the tools to keep the wiki running smoothly and deal with issues facing the wiki. Administrators are trusted editors, and are the first person to contact if a user needs help, has a question or request. An ideal admin is not the one "in charge" of the wiki, simply someone who is trusted with additional tools to use for the benefit of the community.
Admins have all the privileges from both the content moderator and discussions moderator groups, and the ability to promote or revoke both the content moderator and discussions moderator rights.
Content moderator[]
Content moderators have access to tools needed for keeping blogs, articles, and other pages clean, as well as protecting pages in the case of emergency. They are also tasked with checking edits to make sure they are contributing and not vandalism.
Discussion moderator[]
Discussions moderators are responsible for activity in all discussion threads and comments. They keep Discussions and comments a safe place and can delete, edit, highlight, lock, and reopen threads, and can edit and delete comments.
Rollback[]
Rollbacks have the ability to undo all the edits made by the most recent user in an article. Their task is to revert vandalism and bad-faith edits with one click.
Requirements[]
Wikis cannot rely on one staff member alone to run it indefinitely. It must wean off of having its founding administrator running it. This wiki requires more attention as it grows – whether it would be only to have more eyes examining edits or to have people parsing through our files and properly organizing them. The Sandman Wiki has a process that determines if a user will serve as a member of the staff by listing specific requirements.
At the moment, staff applications are open for users and contributors interested in helping out.
For users who wish to become staff members of the Discord, a separate decision is determined by the Discord's staff members.
Requesting for rights[]
To apply, you may leave a message on the bureaucrats wall, requesting the writing question. If you meet all the requirements, the bureaucrat will administer of you with the right.
Please make sure you adhere to most of the required criteria and requisites requested in your application's respective prerequisites below before applying.
Requisites[]
Rollback and Content Moderator[]
To qualify for rollback or content moderator rights, users must be active editors who have edited 100 or more articles and are factual, professional, and accurate when they edit. Experience with editing previously on other wikis is a plus.
Discussion Moderator[]
Discussion moderators must have edited 50 or more articles, in addition must be active on our Discussions and be knowledgeable of th e wiki's community and chat policies.
Administrators[]
Administrators have the same requirements as content moderators and rollback. User who wish to apply must have previous or current content moderator experience of over 3 months with no record of incidents or blocks.
Bureaucrat[]
This is solely determined by bureaucrat consensus, with marginal input of the current administrators. This process will likely be modified at a later point in time. The wiki is currently not seeking more bureaucrats at this time.
