The Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki is not affiliated with Hypixel Inc.
Staff members on Hypixel SkyBlock Wiki are responsible for keeping the wiki in running order. All staff members have extended user rights, which allows them to perform staff tasks like blocking users and deleting pages. Staff members are not above normal users and must be held accountable for their actions.
There are currently 13 staff members in this community.
Staff Applications
All staff roles are open for application. If you would like to apply for a staff role, please read the Role Introductions and the Regulations for Staff, then follow the directions on the Role Applications page. If you were invited by an existing staff member, you can simply respond to the invitation instead of creating an application.
Staff Connection
Wiki staff primarily connect with the community via the Wiki Discord. New updates, changes, and events are announced on the Discord, with certain announcements being posted to the Announcements category on Community Discussions.

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
For role requirements and other information on staff roles, please visit the Role Introductions page.
Regulations for Staff
Rights and Duties
Wiki staff members are considered trusted and are expected to behave in a mature and kind manner when interacting with other users. Information on the rights and duties for specific roles can be found in the Role Introductions. All wiki staff members have the following permissions.
- 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 the community or staff team decides through consensus that a staff member is abusing their user rights, their rights will be removed by a Bureaucrat.
- If a staff member breaches the trust of the community through conduct such as Sockpuppetry, they will be banned by a Bureaucrat.
- 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 the 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 in accordance with the Staff Review Procedure below.
- 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 not performed any actions on the wiki nor sent any messages on the wiki Discord 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. The table here was made to assist with this step.
- 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 request to retain their role(s).
- 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.
- Users who indicate that they wish to continue contributing to the wiki will keep their role(s).
- 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 in reply to the original notice, with a link to the Policy on Restoration of Rights.
Policy on 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 brief reason for why they are leaving and ask a Bureaucrat to process their resignation.
- Former staff members in good standing with the community are listed in the List of Former Staff Members. If they wish to be excluded from this list, they may ask an Administrator to remove them.
- Staff members that wish to resign privately may DM a Bureaucrat via Discord.
- 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 role(s) to be restored.
- Rollback and Discussions Moderator can be restored by asking an Administrator to restore the role. Any Administrator may restore the role if they believe the user is in good standing.
- Content Moderator can be restored by asking a Bureaucrat to restore the role. Any Bureaucrat may restore the role if they believe the user is in good standing.
- Roles with higher privileges must be approved according to the same procedure as for new candidates for that role, as described in the Role Introductions.
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.
List of Former Staff Members
Massive thanks to all users below. This wiki would not be what it is today without them! Let their names and contributions be remembered fondly!
Note: Please respect the time of the retired staff members by not messaging them unless their userpage explicitly says you may.
