Wiki Hierarchy

This is a brief overview of how the wiki works, and what each user can do.

Unregistered Users

This is the default for people viewing the site. You can view the Wiki but you can't make any edits.

Registered Users

If you wish to make changes, sign up for a free user account (the link is on the top right hand side of the page). Please, only sign up for an account if you wish to make a positive contribution, it's very easy to ban people who want to come and vandalise the site.

Before registering, please review the editing guidelines.

Registered users can alter most pages; some pages like the Main Page or Current Events are locked though.

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.

Bear in mind that we expect very high standards from our Admins, and it is a large responsibility to take on. Admins can have their status revoked for abusing their position, and negative edits are viewed much more harshly than for general users. Admins should lead by example after all!

Currently active - Eve, Magical Trevor, Alan, Woozle44 (and Bureaucrats)

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!

Currently active - Clizard, Chris, BRGSMan
