Castle Dangerous Game:User Rights

## Rollback

Rollback, the easier and faster method of undoing edits, is granted automatically to all Sysops and Bureaucrats. It is also an ability that can be granted to users to make undoing vandalism and edits by problem users easier. On Castle: Dangerous game Wikia, rollback users are generally trusted users who are experienced and are capable of helping the admins with vandalism.

A list of Autoconfirmed users with rollback powers can be seen here. It can be applied for on Castle Dangerous Game Wiki:Requests for Rollback.

Rollback rights commonly reserved for those ascribed as being members of the Policy & Standards Committee.

## Administrators

Administrators are Castle: Dangerous game Wikia editors who have been entrusted with access to restricted technical features ("tools") which help with maintenance. They are basically a small set of editors the wiki considers to be highly trustworthy, mature and responsible, able to lead by example.

Because administrators are expected to be experienced members of the community, those seeking help will often turn to an administrator for advice and information. When the communal feeling may be unclear, administrators may help provide a thoughtful voice in some kinds of consensus.

### Becoming an Administrator

This is the **Requests for adminship** page. If you think that you could contribute to the Castle Dangerous Game Wiki better as an administrator, or know someone else who could, then request or nominate here.

As fun as being an administrator is, it also requires a good deal of time and effort. An inactive administrator is no use to the wiki, so all candidates should be active. Being an administrator on Castle Dangerous Game Wiki does not require knowledge of the game, but it is recommended.

All requests for adminship last for one week, and once that time has expired there must be 60% of users supporting. If a request has unanimous support after five days, then it may be closed early.

To file a request for adminship, or to nominate a user for adminship, both you and the person that you are nominating must have at least 200 productive edits. The more edits you have, the more it shows your dedication to the Castle Dangerous Game Wiki and thus it makes it more likely for your request to pass.

Any registered user can vote in adminship requests or nominations. Each user may vote once in each request or nomination. To vote, simply add `# Reason for voting ~~~~` under the appropriate header, or use the following templates, placed under the appropriate header:

* {{Support|*<Reason for supporting ~~~~>*}}
* {{Neutral|*<Reason for voting neutral ~~~~>*}}
* {{Oppose|*<Reason for opposing. ~~~~>*}}

To file a new request or nomination, enter the name of the user who you are nominating, or your own name, and submit. All of the required info will be in the new page, just modify it to your needs. If you have already requested administrator rights before, then mention that on the request. This also applies for bureaucrat nominations.

* Administrators have the duty to create policies and guidelines that contribute to the enhancement of the site. This authority is only within the confines of the betterment of the wiki site. (Subject to debate if content or policy doesn't benefit the wiki).
* Administrators do however have authority over behavioral problems such as vandalism or intimidation and inappropriate content, hence the ability to block and delete.
* Administrators have authority to answer blatant disregard over the guidelines and policies of the wiki, hence the ability to block, revert, delete.
* Administrators cannot shut out the opinions of others. But can revert and delete crack theories.

#### Inactivity

Administrators should stay active to be able to assist the wiki, who has entrusted them with additional user rights.

* Administrators may always alert the community to a leave of absence by using Template:Inactive and changing their status to inactive. Leaves of absence may be for any length up to three months.
* When an administrator is inactive for two weeks without explanation, they will be marked inactive on the List of Administrators.
* If the administrator does not edit for three to six months without explanation, it will be assumed that they have left the wiki and the administrator will be demoted. If an administrator does not return from a leave of absence, they will be demoted three months after the leave of absence was supposed to finish.

## Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats are the highest tier of Castle: Dangerous game Wikia users, with the additional ability of being able to change user rights. In all other respects, bureaucrats are simply administrators.

### Becoming a Bureaucrat

Bureaucratship can only be granted by another bureaucrat. Castle: Dangerous game Wikia currently has two active bureaucrats.

### Being a Bureaucrat

Every policy that applies to admins also applies to bureaucrats, as bureaucrats are simply a subset of admins, with only a few additional abilities and responsibilities.

#### Additional Abilities

In addition to being an administrator, bureaucrats also have:

* The ability to grant and revoke rollback rights
* The ability to grant and revoke administrator status
* The ability to grant, but not revoke bureaucrat status

#### Additional Duties

Bureaucrats oversee and supervise all requests for user rights, and carry out the decision in the case of requests for adminship.

Bureaucrats also must at their discretion accept or decline user requests for rollback. This is done according to their judgement.

#### Inactivity

Bureaucrats should stay active to be able to promote users to the groups that they require to assist the wiki in the best possible way. As they are administrators, they are subject to the same inactivity regulations as administrators.
