Admin & Staff

## Founder

A community's founder is automatically given admin and bureaucrat rights during the community's creation and is the most highest adminship.

Formerly, 四語千代柳沢 was the original founder of the wiki.

## Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats are one level 'up' from administrators, they have the ability to promote and revoke content moderator and administrator rights as well as appointing new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly revoke another user's bureaucrat status, they can revoke their own. Bureaucrats also have the ability to revoke a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning, but community consensus is required for the addition of users' bot status. Bureaucrat status can only be removed by Wikia staff, or by themselves.

## Administrators

Administrators (also known as "admins" or "sysops") are trusted users, who are generally chosen by the community and appointed by a bureaucrat, they have access to the following extended rights that help them contribute to and modify the site (for more details, see the administrators' how-to guide):

* All privileges from the discussions moderator and content moderator groups.

* Block users who are vandalizing the wiki from editing and other actions.

* Grant and revoke both the chat moderator and discussion moderator rights.

* Edit the community's skin and format.

* Edit whitelisted MediaWiki pages (including the site CSS and JavaScript).

Administrators have the right to decline their tools or resign at any time. Administrators are expected to help other users when necessary and guide or correct them when necessary. Alongside their added tools and abilities, administrators are held to the same editing standards as other editors and are expected to follow the same policies as everyone else. Because of this, administrators are not beyond the rules of the wiki and can be demoted from their position if consensus deems it necessary. Starting from 2017, administrators who are inactive for more than 6 months are subjected to demotion.

## Content Moderators

Content moderators are users who has the ability to assist administrators by using the following tools:

* Deleting and moving (renaming without leaving redirects) pages and files, including pages that are protected.
* Protecting and unprotecting pages and files, as well as editing protected pages.
* Undeleting pages and files.
* Reupload files.
* Rollback changes.
* Patrol pages.

Currently all content moderators are discussion moderators as. well.

## Discussion Moderators

* Editing and deleting comments.
* Removing and restoring threads and replies from any user.
* Closing and reopening threads.
