The Tiffany Alvord Wiki administration staff is a group of bureaucrats, administrators, chat moderators and rollbacks who keep the wiki running. They are expected to be active on a regular basis and follow all the site policies, replay to message walls, forum threads and blogs posts as necessary. If they break any of the rules or do anything that result in a block or warning for a regular user, his or her rights will be revoked immediately.
Expectations[]
- Admins and rollbacks are expected to monitor pages regularly to monitor pages, revert vandalism, enforce the policies and make sure the wiki run as smoothly as possible.
- Admins and chat mods are expected to be on chat regularly to moderate.
- Administrator who are inactive for more than two months (60 days), without any explanation, will be stripped of their rights.
- Rollbacks and chat moderators who are inactive for more than one month (30 days), without any explanation, will be stripped of their rights.
Administrator rights[]
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 auto-confirmed 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.
Rollback rights[]
These additional functions include:
- Revert multiple vandalism with the help of a single click on the 'Rollback' button. However, if it is just one case, we prefer to use the 'undo' button since we then can explain what was done wrong so they don't do it again.
Chat moderator rights[]
These additional functions include:
- Kick and block people from chat.
- Ban people from chat for a period of time.
Who are we?[]
Regarding block or ban[]
- If you are banned from chat a chat mod has to give you three warnings on chat before banning you. Afterwards the responsible mod has to give you a ban on your wall stating why you are banned and for how long.
- An admin or rollback has to give you some sort of warning before blocking you from editing.
- If you get blocked or banned you will receive a block on your wall where the admin or chat mod that blocked/banned you will explain why you are blocked and for how long. If you wish to appeal to your ban or block you may do so by replying to the notice on your wall.
Promotions[]
