Bully Wiki:Staff

Bully Wiki Staff are users on Bully Wiki granted the ability and responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly.

Purpose of Staff
The main purpose of Bully Wiki staff is to keep the wiki clean and free of vandalism, to keep it running smoothly, and mainly to help editors.

Bully Wiki staff should not use their tools 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, or use their blocking tool to block a user they have a dispute with. Their tools 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.

The ideal Bully Wiki staff member is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Bully Wiki community.

Promotion
Bully Wiki has a noticeboard specifically for requests for promotion: Bully Wiki:Requests for Promotion. Editors interested in applying for any staff rights may file for promotion on that board. A community vote will take place on whether the user may be granted the promotion. The required 'yes' percentage is 60% for patrollers, 70% for administrators, and 80% for bureaucrats.

Demotion and repromotion
Staff may request a demotion for themselves at any time. Staff demoted in this manner must reapply for administrator and bureaucrat rights on the Bully Wiki:Requests for Promotion noticeboard rather than making requests directly to a bureaucrat. Community discussions on whether to demote a current staff member should take place on the Community Noticeboard.

Bureaucrats
The Bureaucrats are senior editors on Bully Wiki. As well as being full administrators, they have management abilities where they can grant limited user rights. They can promote and demote patrollers, administrators and moderators. They can promote other users to bureaucrat although they cannot demote other bureaucrats. Demotion of users by bureaucrats on Bully Wiki is not done without a community discussion, unless absolutely necessary. In cases where the community cannot reach consensus on an issue, the bureaucrats may hold a bureaucrats-only vote to reach a decision.
