+This is a brief overview of how the wiki works, and what each user can do. The overall wiki philosophy is to have a collaborative effort among peers, however there are some administrative roles that are required as we would like to meet our editorial guidelines and avoid spam. For these reasons, the hierarchy exists. Our user rights are regularly reviewed as the MediaWiki software is updated and becomes more powerful.

+Registered users can alter ''most'' pages. Some pages like the Main Page or Current Events are locked though to avoid spam. If you have a recommended edit then please add it to the corresponding discussion page. Unfortunately, the registration process is necessary to make the wiki manageable.

+===Administrators===
-Administrators, or Admins (or Moderators, if you prefer) are appointed to keep an eye on the Wiki, and check that all edits are up to standard. They have the power to ban users, delete pages and edit restricted pages. If you wish to become an Admin, you must show us that you are a valuable member who makes a positive contribution. See [[Administrator Policy]] for more details.

 ===Bureaucrats===
-These are essentially "Super-Admins". They can do everything an Admin can do, and are responsible for deciding who should become an Admin. As ever, these members are bound by the same rules as everyone else. In case of argument, the Senior Bureaucrat is [[Clizard]] - his decision is final in all cases. Furthermore, he has final say on promoting someone to Bureaucrat status.

 Bureaucrats are appointed very rarely, as there is no need for several members to have this status. At present, there is no requirement for more Bureaucrats on the site, so you will only reach this level in exceptional circumstances!
