Scientific Wiki:Staff

The staff are users on Scientific Wiki with the responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly. The main job of all Staff is to help users, so do not hesitate to ask a member of Staff if you have any questions, problems, or suggestions.

Certain staff also have various rights, administrative tools and authority over the wiki. There are three levels of staff on Scientific Wiki.

Non-Staff users do not have any administrative or decision-making authority.

Purpose of Staff
The main purpose of Scientific Wiki staff is to keep the Wiki under control, cleaned, smoothly running, vandalism-free, harm-free, and to help other editors.

Staff members are prohibited from abusing their authority. They may not use their tools to settle a dispute, for example, a staff member is disallowed to protect any page he or she predicts will be highly vandalized, or block a user who hasn't committed an infringement, or has already served their punishment.

The staff come together to propose new rules, policies, or in some cases, extreme decisions that need to be fixed.

The staff members may block any user who violated our policies as a form of punishment. Staff members have different privileges depending on their rank.

Staff members are mainly here to serve their fellow editors and help them.

Staff Levels
A staff user has various rights, and access to restricted administrative tools.
 * Patrollers - Patrollers are known as Rollbackers. They are equipped with the rollback tool which allows them to quickly revert vandalism and are highlighted in Orange. They are allowed to warn users of their violations.
