Hazbin Hotel Wiki:Staff

This staff of the Hazbin Hotel Wiki are users who provide support and resources to the community, as well as oversee the maintenance of the site.

Bureaucrat
Bureaucrats are trusted users that have the ability to manipulate users to promote or demote to any user right, as well as block and unblock users. This right is generally given to those in the admin group. They are responsible for maintaining, protecting, and promoting lawful wiki users and keeping wiki vandals in check. Bureaucrats cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, but they can remove their own.

This wiki's bureaucrat is Gemmaniac.

Administrator
Administrators are trusted editors who have the most responsibilities of the entire staff, and are equipped with the tools to keep the wiki running smoothly. They can issue blocks to troublesome editors, revert spam/vandalism using the rollback tool, and delete spam pages. They are authorized to use the tools at their disposal to deal with issues facing the wiki to the best of their ability.

Admins have all the privileges from both the content moderator and discussions moderator groups, and the ability to promote or revoke both the content moderator and discussions moderator rights. See here for a list of this wiki's administrators.

Content moderator
Content moderators are responsible for locating and erasing vandalism, and have access to tools needed for keeping blogs, articles, and other pages clean, as well as protecting pages in the case of emergency. They are also tasked with checking edits to make sure they are contributing and not vandalism. See here for a list of this wiki's content moderators.

Discussion moderator
Discussions moderators are responsible for activity in all discussion threads and comments. They keep Discussions and comments a safe place and can delete, edit, highlight, lock, and reopen threads, and can edit and delete comments. See here for a list of this wiki's discussion moderators.

Rollback
Rollbacks have the ability to undo all the edits made by the most recent user in an article. Their task is to revert vandalism and bad-faith edits with one click.

Requirements
Wikis cannot rely on one staff member alone to run it indefinitely. It must wean off of having its founding administrator running it. This wiki requires more attention as it grows – whether it would be only to have more eyes examining edits or to have people parsing through our files and properly organizing them. The Hazbin Hotel Wiki has a process that determines if a user will serve as a member of the staff by listing specific requirements.

For users who wish to become staff members of the Discord, a separate decision is determined by the Discord's staff members.

Request Process
Please make sure you adhere to most of the required criteria and requisites requested in your application's respective prerequisites section below before applying.

After the prerequisites have been completed, the next step is to get community consensus on your nomination. To do this, you must fill out a form in the Rights Requests category in Discussions. The application must have the following:
 * 1) Title the post with the right you are applying for (ex: Request: Discussions Mod)
 * 2) Add and fill out the following to the post:
 * 3) * Username: [Username]
 * 4) * Application for: [user right]
 * 5) * Edits made on the wiki: [your edits]
 * 6) * Days/months have you been editing here: [lenfth of time]
 * 7) * Why I should have this right: [summary of why you want and deserve this position]
 * 8) * For: @Gemmaniac (in case Gemmaniac is unavailable, use @Nightsilver instead.)
 * 9) Users will comment on the thread and to vote on the request using the options Support, Oppose, and Neutral, and must provide a reason why for their vote.
 * 10) After one week, voting will close, and if the votes are in favor of the user, the staff will grant the user the requested right.

Note that the reason should be valid and clear; do not support a user solely because they are your friend, or oppose a user because you don't like them.

If the application is not in this form, it will be declined.
