Category:Personnel

The personnel of WikiTide are users who represent the platform and perform an official function via their roles. In common terms, these are the farm's staff. These are volunteers who do not receive pay for their work on WikiTide. Personnel are currently appointed by existing personnel and some are provisional (ie: appointed until they've completed their purpose). As time goes on it is intended for personnel to be more democratic with community votes and a culture of community accountability.

Exactly what they do can be specialized (they are an xyz) or overlapping (they are x, y and z). The governing personnel (in other words: the people who run the farm) are discussed at the page Personnel, but in general the platform is run by the following:
 * User:Universal Omega: Universal Omega is the founder of WikiTide (and WikiForge), representing the platform in a legal sense until the organization of WikiTide (and WikiForge) are more developed.
 * Stewards: The highest community right and responsibility including arbitration of disputes, handling of global spam and abuse, facilitators of discussions and development and supervisors of other community roles. Until the farm is more complete, Stewards are also the primary drivers of platform development with assistance of the growing WikiTide community. They are assisted by Global Sysops who perform many of the same tasks but are directly supervised by Stewards and lack access to more sensitive tools such as CheckUser.
 * Sysadmins: Users with advanced technical access who perform sensitive technical tasks, develop the platform's features, and respond to technical issues.

As time goes on this will see more granularity, including more assisting global related roles (wiki creators, global rollbackers etc) and Meta specific roles (meta administrators, patrollers, interface administrators etc) to assist in operations. Other volunteering opportunities that do not include special permissions may be opened, and other platform roles will be properly integrated into this structure (ie: discord moderation, social media management).
