Angry Birds Wiki:Staff

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions.

Committee Group
These members are users trusted with rollback and chat moderator rights who help enforce the wiki's policies.

'''There are currently no members. We are currently looking for at least 3 users for these positions.'''

Former Members:

 * The brown bird - October 5, 2012 - November 4, 2012
 * Angry Hearts - October 1, 2012 - November 5, 2012
 * Angry Bird Piggy - September 5, 2012 - November 5, 2012

Committee Sub-Groups
   This section of the staff is under construction   This section is incomplete. 3 sub-groups may or may not be enough for the wiki's staff. If you have any ideas for additional sub-groups, see the talk page.

These users are under the Committee Group who perform specific functions to help the wiki.

'''There are currently no members. We are currently looking for at least 3 users for these positions.'''


 * Grammar Group - These users fix grammar around the wiki.
 * Article Improvers - These users edit stub and vacant articles by filling in more content.
 * Update Users - These users keep the wiki up to date with new games, franchise, and other media.

Fateful Members
These members are ones who used to be part of the Staff, but no longer edit on the wiki due to personal reasons, and announced their leave.

Staff Responsibilities

 * Enforce the wiki's policies
 * Regularly assist with wiki projects
 * Undo vandalism
 * Help new users who do not understand Wikia functions.

Administrator/Sysop abilities
These additional functions include:
 * Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
 * Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

Bureaucrat abilities
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.

Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith.

How do I use administrator powers?
See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Becoming an administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On the Angry Birds Wiki, you can request adminship by asking an active bureaucrat via their talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats, but there is an active community, use the "Requests for adminship" page or start a blog post titled "Nominations for Adminship" to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats. Once a community decision has been reached please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.

If there is no active community and no active bureaucrats, please leave a message at wiki adoption requests page.

What can administrators not do?
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.

The admin should also refrain from affiliating with other Wikis unless every admin is with the idea.
