Community Manager
Community Managers are Fandom staff members whose primary duty is to act as a liaison between Wiki staff and other Fandom staff. Previously, Fandom had Wiki Representatives (see below) until 1 April 2024, when the old program was replaced with the Community Manager program. The Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki does not officially have a Community Manager assigned, but OishiiOnIno/Kurt was the Wiki Representative for this community prior to the new program, and he still notifies the staff team of opportunities to try new features like he did as a Wiki Representative.
Username | Title | Time Period |

OishiiOnIno | Community Manager, Gaming | 1 April 2024 - Present |
OishiiOnIno | Wiki Representative | 10 February 2021 - 31 March 2024 |
Sitb | Wiki Representative | 1 March 2020 - 9 February 2021 |
Introduction to Staff Roles
A Rollback (or Rollbacker) is a wiki staff member who is good at maintaining content quality on the wiki. They are considered leading contributors who keep learning and improving themselves while creating new materials for the community.
Rollback Rights
- Revert all edits made to a page by the latest contributor, to quickly revert vandalism
- Bypass most Abuse Filters
- Edit the userspace of other users in accordance with the Userpage Policy
Rollback Requirements
- Actively contribute to the wiki for at least two weeks to show willingness to contribute.
- Make a fair number of helpful edits. Having around 75 significant edits shows that you are interested in improving the wiki for everyone.
- Demonstrate an ability to communicate in a mature manner.
- Ideally, build a history of counter-vandalism efforts, possibly as part of the Recent Changes Patrol. This shows that you will be able to make good use of the rollback tool.
- Optionally, show that the community supports your application.
Notes on the Abuse Filter Bypass
- The Abuse Filter Bypass gives users the ability to edit without most Abuse Filters reviewing their edit.
- The Bypass grants the same technical rights as Rollback, but use of those rights is subject to expiry of the Bypass.
- Users with the Bypass are not considered wiki staff members; they do not have staff-colored usernames.
- Users with the Bypass may apply for staff ranks, including Rollback. Procedures are held without preferential treatment towards users with the Bypass.
A Discussions Moderator is a wiki staff member who moderates social activities on the wiki's Community Discussions and article comments. They are solid helpers in the discussion space, where they guide the community to keep discussions constructive.
Discussions Moderator Rights
- Moderate article comments, talk pages, Community Discussions (moderation info), Message Walls, and User Blogs
- Create wiki-wide announcements

- Edit the userspace of other users in accordance with the Userpage Policy
Discussions Moderator Requirements
- Be familiar with the Comment Guidelines and the guidelines listed on Community Discussions.
- Actively engage in at least one of the social areas on the wiki for at least three weeks.
- Make a fair number of constructive posts and/or comments. Having around 100 significant posts shows that you are interested in contributing to discussions.
- Demonstrate an ability to communicate with other users in a mature manner.
- Ideally, build a history of reporting posts that don't follow the guidelines. This shows that you will be able to make good use of the moderation tools.
- Ideally, have good writing and grammar skills.
- Optionally, show that the community supports your application.
A Content Moderator is a wiki staff member who moderates content pages on the wiki. They are considered role models who use their ideas to create and innovate to the benefit of the community.
Content Moderator Rights

- Change protection settings of articles and files
- Delete pages, view deleted revisions & pages, and undelete pages

- Upload files from a URL
- Revert all edits made to a page by the latest contributor, to quickly revert vandalism (rollback)

- Edit the userspace of other users in accordance with the Userpage Policy
Content Moderators should not also have the Rollback user group as that would be redundant.
Content Moderator Requirements
- Be familiar with the Protection and Deletion Policies.
- Actively contribute to the wiki for at least four weeks to show willingness to contribute. Exceptions may be made for particularly impressive applicants.
- Make a significant number of helpful edits. Having around 400 significant edits generally shows that you have a thorough understanding of editing on the wiki.

- Procedure: At least two active Administrators or three active Code Editors must support the candidate's application.
An Administrator is a highly trusted user who has the technical ability to do most actions on the wiki. Administrators are users who have been in the community for a long time, and the have experience as a staff member. They are responsible for helping out other users and settling disputes. They are guides for the community.

Regulations for Staff
Rights and Duties

- They may verbally warn disruptive users.
- They can access staff-only channels on the Wiki Discord.
- They bypass most Abuse Filters.
- They may use staff-only templates and the staff userboxes that are appropriate for their role.
- They have access to various staff tools.
- They may edit the userspace of other users in accordance with the Userpage Policy.
Removal of Staff Roles
- Inactive staff members may lose their rights due to inactivity in accordance with the Policy on Inactivity.
- Staff members may resign at any time in accordance with the Policy on Resignation.
- Bureaucrats and Administrators may demote staff members who are no longer fit for their position due to bad behavior without notice.

- If a Bureaucrat is abusing their user rights, the only way to forcibly remove their rights is by contacting Fandom.
- Note that wiki staff members are not exempt from Blocking Policy.
Policy on Inactivity
Staff members who are inactive as defined in the Definition of Inactivity below may have their rights and staff role removed.
- Inactive staff members are still trusted members of the community. They have the right to vote in community polls and to join in on discussion of requests for comment (RfCs).
- Inactive staff members are excluded from certain votes associated with their rank. For example, inactive Administrators are excluded from votes for approving new Administrators.
- Inactive staff members may reclaim their rights in accordance with the Policy on Restoration of Rights.
Definition of Inactivity
- In general, a staff member is considered inactive if they have performed few or no actions on the wiki in a time period of 60 days.
- Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the active Bureaucrats.
- When determining activity status, Bureaucrats should take into consideration the edit history, social activity, logged actions, and Discord activity of the user in question.
- Bureaucrats may ask for input from the rest of the Administrator team when determining inactivity.
Staff Review Procedure
An active Bureaucrat should perform a staff review at least once per year, using the following procedure. In the event that there are no active Bureaucrats, a new Bureaucrat should be chosen by the Administrator team. The new Bureaucrat can receive the Bureaucrat user group by either contacting an inactive Bureaucrat or through Fandom via Special:Contact. In the event that there are no active Administrators, the wiki can be adopted through Fandom as described here. The Staff Review Procedure is as follows.
- Each staff member's activity should be reviewed individually to determine if they are inactive according to the Definition of Inactivity above.
- Optionally, the Bureaucrat performing the review may choose to notify the inactive staff members via Discord before or at the same time as the following step.
- Each staff member who is determined to be inactive has a right to receive a notice on their Message Wall and to have at least seven days (168 hours) to respond. They should be notified of their inactivity status and given the option to formally resign or to explain why they should retain their current staff role or a lower role.
- For users who choose to resign, the Bureaucrat performing the review will process their resignation, with care taken to ensure that the resignation date recorded matches the day on which the user resigned.
- For users who give an explanation as to why they should retain their current staff role or a lower role, the Bureaucrat performing the review may choose to either accept the appeal or discuss it with the active Administrators. For the latter option, the Administrators' decision will be determined by consensus, and the Bureaucrat performing the review will remove the user's rights only if doing so is the consensus.
- Users who do not respond to the Message Wall post within the set response window of at least seven days (168 hours) will have their rights removed by the Bureaucrat performing the review, with another notice given at that time outlining how to request restoration of their rights in accordance with the Policy on Restoration of Rights.
Policy of Voluntary Breaks
- If a staff member wishes to go on leave for any amount of time (or until further notice), they have the right to do so.
- Before going on leave, a staff member should leave a simple notice of the length so the team can accommodate for the user's absence.
- Going on leave for an extended period of time may result in removal of rights due to inactivity, but these rights can be restored in accordance with the Policy on Restoration of Rights.
Policy on Resignation
- If a staff member wishes to resign, they have the right to do so at any time and for any reason.
- To resign, a staff member should provide a reason for why they are leaving and ask a Bureaucrat to process their resignation.
- If there is only one Bureaucrat and they wish to resign, they should first promote a new Bureaucrat chosen by the Administrator team.
- If a resigned staff member in good standing chooses to return, their roles can be restored in accordance with the Policy on Restoration of Rights.
Policy on Restoration of Rights
If a staff member in good standing resigns or loses their rights due to inactivity, they may request for their roles to be restored.
- Rollback and Discussions Moderator can be restored without needing to re-apply by asking for an Administrator to restore the role. Any Administrator may restore the role at their discretion.
- Content Moderator can be restored without needing to re-apply by asking for a Bureaucrat to restore the role. Any Bureaucrat may restore the role at their discretion.
- Higher roles must be approved according to the same procedure as for new candidates for that role, as described in Introduction to Staff Roles.
Policy on Confidential Information
In the staff-only channels of the wiki discord, confidential topics are sometimes discussed. Staff members may not not leak any potentially confidential information from staff-only channels without permission from an Administrator or from the user that originally sent the message.
Staff Userboxes
Wiki staff members may use the following userboxes based on their current roles. The Abuse Filter prevents non-staff from using these userboxes.
Staff Tools
Additional staff tools arranged by this wiki are granted to each staff member based on their role. The script for granting these tools is MediaWiki:Gadget-RoleScripts.js.
