Staff (Moderators, Administrators and Managers) are users on Grand Theft Wiki with the responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly. The main job of all Staff is to help users, so don't hesitate to ask a member of Staff if you have any problems or questions.

Certain Staff also have various rights, administrative tools and authority over the wiki. There are three levels of Staff on Grand Theft Wiki. No users other than the ones mentioned here have any administrative privileges or decision-making authority.

Moderators

File:Lance Corporal.png Moderators are users on Grand Theft Wiki who have been trusted with additional tools to keep the Wiki clean. Moderators are trusted helpers, rather than having "power" or "authority" over other users. Moderators are always experienced editors, so should be able to help you if you have any questions.
Moderator Rights:
  • Rollback edits (quick revert)
  • Move pages
  • Patrol other users edits
  • Set own edits to automatically-patrolled
  • Protect talk pages

Administrators

Administrators (Admins or SysOps) are members of Staff with tools and authority to solve disputes and keep the wiki running smoothly. Administrators are still just editors of the wiki, and the main part of their job is the help other users; but they enforce the policy of Grand Theft Wiki, and occasionally need to step in and use their additional tools to solve problems.
Administrator Rights:
  • Protect, move & delete pages
  • Edit protected pages
  • Suspend/block users and IPs
  • Some discretion with rules

Managers

Managers (Bureaucrats) are the users that steer Grand Theft Wiki. They have authority in any disputes, and can approve large-scale changes to the wiki. As well as being full Administrators, Managers can also promote other users to staff.
Manager Rights:
  • Promote staff
  • Final decisions on rules
  • Approves, interprets and modifies policy
  • Major decisions about the wiki
  • Edit 'MediaWiki' system namespace


Wikia Staff

There are also Wikia Staff, Janitors and Wikia Helpers who have administrative privileges in all Wikia wikis. These users are not managed by Grand Theft Wiki, although they should still operate within GTW policy.

The main Wikia Staff that work with Grand Theft Wiki are:

Inactive Staff

These users are previous or inactive staff.

Promotion to Staff

See Grand Theft Wiki:Promotion to see the process for nominating staff for promotion, and to provide nominations and opinions.
