 ===Administrators===
 Administrators, also known as '''sysops''' or '''janitors''', possess more powerful editing abilities, such as the power to move and delete pages, suppress redirects, move and delete files, reupload new revisions of files, edit protected pages, protect pages, execute rollbacks, and more. Their role on the wiki is not bureaucratic, as they have no influence or vote in decisions for staff promotions or demotions, wiki policy changes, or other site changes.

 ==Staff structure==
 There are five (5) major user groups with staff powers attached to them. Each of them has a "staff glyph" of a specifically-coloured Greek letter associated with it; this will show up next to the usernames of such users in places like the [[Special:RecentChanges|RC log]]. For consistency's sake, bots are counted among this, but they are not staff in the usual sense because they are not humans. For completeness' sake, autoconfirmed users are listed as well, and although they have additional editing capabilities, they are also not staff.

-Editorial board members hold their positions indefinitely, until they either die, retire, are fired, or put on a demoted leave of absence. In the event a seat is vacated, it may be filled by one or more board members nominating a sysop for promotion. When this happens, a vote is called among all existing board members, including the editor-in-chief. A simple majority decides whether promotion goes through. If the votes are split 50-50, as may be the case with an 11-member board + the editor-in-chief, the EiC's vote serves as the tie-breaker.
