Staff

*Last Updated: 10/5/2021*

The **Animal Jam Play Wild Sapphire Worth Wiki** has awarded certain users special permissions (also known as **user rights**) that can be used to enhance the wiki's quality or resolve complications.

## Positions

There are several different types of staff positions that a user may be appointed.

### Bureaucrats

**Bureaucrats** are the highest position that a user can be designated. This position exceeds that of administrators, content moderators, and chat/discussion moderators. There is one major difference between a bureaucrat and administrator, but beside that, there is negligible contrast between the two. A bureaucrat position is **permanent**, meaning that it cannot be altered, unless the user who possesses the position removes it themselves. Bureaucrats can also promote other staff members or demote administrators, content moderators, or chat/discussion moderators. Otherwise, bureaucrats and administrators have the same permissions. When they are promoted, it should be ensured they have all five permissions checked (bureaucrat, administrator, content-moderator, threadmoderator, and rollback) even if they are assigned by default.

#### Requirements

1. All requirements of Administrator
2. 1,000 Edits as shown on the profile
3. Plan to stay active for at least three months (bureaucrats are a permanent job unless it is removed by the Jammer; if bureaucrats go inactive after one week of being a bureaucrat, there will eventually be many bureaucrats)

### Administrators

**Administrators**, commonly referred to as "admins" and sometimes as "sysops," are a high position to be granted, and are given all of the permissions of content moderators, and they also can block violators of the rules and edit the wiki's Javascript and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). When they are promoted, it should be ensured that they have four permissions checked: administrator, content-moderator, threadmoderator, and rollback, even if they are added by default.

#### Requirements

1. All requirements of Content Moderator
2. 500 Edits as shown on the profile
3. Basic knowledge of Javascript and CSS
4. Advanced knowledge of WikiText
5. When and how to block users

### Content Moderators

A fine position to be granted to a well-deserved user is the permissions of **Content Moderators**, also referred to as "content mods." They have multiple permissions including:

* Editing and moving fully protected pages and files
* Deleting and undeleting pages and files
* Being able to rollback edits
* The ability to rename files
* Protecting and unprotecting pages
* Patrolling pages
* Deleting article comments

#### Requirements

1. All requirements of Discussions Moderator
2. 250 Edits as shown on the profile
3. Advanced knowledge of how to create a page, naming files, etc.
4. When and how to warn Jammers (nicely and appropriately)

### Discussion Moderators

**Discussions Moderators** have to be earned separately from the content moderator position. However, they are automatically awarded to administrators and bureaucrats, and they allow the user to remove and restore any threads and replies from any user, close and reopen threads, delete blog comments, edit and delete article comments, and moderating the discussions feature.

#### Requirements

1. All requirements of Rollback
2. 200 Edits as shown on the profile
3. Intermediate knowledge of worths

### Rollbacks

Rollbacks grant users the permission of rolling back edits rather than having to undo them one at a time. They have no significant effect, and essentially have the same permissions of normal editors. However, the rollback position enhances users' chances of getting promoted to another higher position, and they are considered staff. This position is granted to all administrators and bureaucrats on this wiki.

#### Requirements

1. 100 Edits as shown on the profile
2. Three warnings or less
3. Basic knowledge of worths
4. Knowledge of rules, block policy, how to create a page, the Style Guide, and when to roll back edits.

## Current Staff

### Staff Timeline

Each bar represents one month. 2020.44 is the equivalent of 10 June 2020.

**Notice: Wikipedia's definition of "Active," "Semi-Active," and "Inactive" are used here.**

* Very Active staff members have made 75 or more **mainspace\*** edits in the last month.
* Active staff members have made 30 or more **mainspace** edits in the last two months.
* Semi-active staff members have made less than 30 **mainspace** edits in the last two months but have made five edits in the last two months.
* Inactive staff members have edited less than five times in the last two months.

They will receive a message wall notice that needs to be responded to in three days. If there is an acceptable reason for future absence, they will not be demoted. If they have no reason, they should acknowledge that they have read the message and make a mainspace edit in the seven days following the notice. If they do not respond or respond without editing, they will be demoted. However, if they come back and qualify for active staff within the six month period after their last edit, they can request to become staff again, and their request will be granted.

\*Mainspace edits can be found by going to Special:Contributions, typing in the user of the staff member, and selecting "(Main)" in the namespace bar.

(11 mainspace edits in the last two months; inactive status will commence on 19 February 2021)
