General Expectations
Wiki staff members are considered trusted and are expected to behave in a mature and kind way to other users.
 * Staff members have the right to warn other users, and any ranks below them (See the list for rank order).
 * Staff members are also exempt from most abuse filters for trust and technical reasons.
 * Staff members may also edit other's userpages in accordance with the userpage editing policy.
 * If any staff member is suspected of abusing their user rights, those rights will be revoked once a consensus is found. Staff members are not exempted from blocking policy.
 * A large breach of community trust or conduct such as Sockpuppetry will likely result in a swift ban by a.

The following staff ranks are in this order as follows:

A higher rank staff may remove the privileges of lower rank staff members if they have the ability to do so. Bureaucrats and administrators may demote a staff when they see them as unfit for their position due to inactivity, bad behaviour or other reasons.

Policy on Inactivity
If a Staff member is inactive, They may have their rights removed after an extended period of silence for security reasons. However, they are still considered trusted and still hold the same weights in votes and RfCs and may reclaim their rights ( are excluded from reclaiming rights without a request for approval) at any time when they return. Inactive usually means more than 6 weeks of not preforming an action with their tools
 * If an is inactive, they will be demoted to a, and if they are inactive further, they will have their rights stripped completely. They will have to gain the approval of other administrators if they return.
 * February 1st is the Staff Review Day. On that day, staff members are pruned. Users who have not performed an action in more than 90 days will receive a note of revocation of rights and instructions for re-application for their rights.
 * A staff member who is inactive will lose their voting weight associated with their rank in discussions (such as being excluded from votes for new ), but will retain their seniority among the community.

Policy on Voluntary Breaks and Resignations
If a staff member so chooses, they may at any time go on break for any amount of time or indefinitely or until further notice. All that is required when going on break is a simple notice of the length so the team can accommodate for the user's absence.
 * Breaks
