Staff Members are trusted and active users who have been granted special rights to administrate the Surviv.io Wiki community.
Staff Powers
Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats have full power & head the Wiki. They can both grant and remove almost all available rights.
Administrators
Administrators are community leaders with the full range of control over the Wiki, being able to exercise the rights of those below (Content Mod and Discussions Mod) as well as edit MediaWiki & grant certain user rights.
Content Moderators
Content Moderators are trusted users who have been granted Content Moderator Rights. Content Moderator Rights allow a user to protect, unprotect, delete, & undelete pages, as well as move & edit already protected pages. Generally speaking, Content Mods have all available user-rights besides the ability to grant other rights or edit MediaWiki.
Discussions Moderators
Trusted users who have been granted Discussion Moderator Rights, but not Content Moderator Rights. Discussion Moderator Rights allow a user to remove Message Wall posts, edit Message Wall Greetings, as well as close & reopen threads on Message Walls. With the addition of Discussions, they can moderate that as well by locking posts, moving them, or deleting them.
Joining Staff
Want to join the staff? Just submit your Résumé (a list of reasons for why you should become staff) on the Résumés page, or submit them by sending a message to either an Admin or a Bureaucrat on their message wall. Just be sure you fit the following criteria:
- You’re active. Active users are always the most suitable for staff, so if you can prove that you are active & that you will stay active for a while, by making frequent contributions, hanging around in chat, or being friendly, then you’re golden.
- You're established. We can’t very well just let random people we don’t know join Staff. You have to have been on this Wiki for at least two months, & you have to be somewhat well known. Be friendly & interactive with the community, then you’ll meet this criterion in no time. Furthermore, we generally require at least 1000 edits or posts as a benchmark for experience on the wiki.
- You understand what you’re asking for. You have to know what a Chat Mod can do, how to rollback, & how to utilize the Content Mod/Discussion Mod powers before you acquire them, not after, otherwise we will have to school you through their uses. You also have to be responsible enough to respect the powers we may give you. If you can prove your responsibility, then you’re all set.
- You have experience. This is not required, but it helps a lot. If you’ve been a mod or admin before on this Wiki, other Wikis, or on similar websites such as reddit, UESP, or Wikipedia, then that will make it much easier to become Staff. Having a Reward will also make your Résumé look good.
Once you post your criteria, a Bureaucrat or Admin will review it. They will either accept, suspend, or reject it.
Acceptance
Congratulations! You are now part of the Surviv.io Wiki Staff!
Suspension
In the common case that the Admin thinks that you aren't quite ready or that you need to fully prove yourself, your Résumé will be suspended. During this period (about a week or so), you're granted Intern rights to see if you are responsible enough for them. After the week is up, the same Admin will either accept or reject you. Be active and helpful, though, and you'll reach staff in no time.
Rejection
Because of reasons that the Admin will list, your Résumé has been rejected. You can try again in one week.
