Staff Ranks
Rollbacks
Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. The "rollback" permission allows a user to undo bad edits with one click: by using the rollback link on diff pages, the user's contributions page, or the list of recent changes. The edit summary for a rollback edit is (Reverted edits by X (talk) to last version by Y). Content Moderators and admins enjoy all the privileges of Rollbacks, so Admins or Content Moderators do not need to be put in to that group in addition to being an Admin or Content Moderator.
Chat Moderators
Chat Moderators are users who can moderate a community's chat room. They can ban users from chat, which will kick a user out of the chat and prevent them from returning until a chat moderator, discussions moderator, or admin unbans them from the user's contributions page or until the ban expires. Admins and Discussions Moderators enjoy all the privileges of Chat Moderators, so Admins or Discussions Moderators do not need to be put in to that group in addition to being an Admin or Discussions Moderator.
Discussions Moderators
Discussions Moderators are users who have additional tools available to manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having discussions. These tools are:
- Removing and restoring threads and replies by any user
- Closing and reopening threads
- Manage Forum boards, and move threads from one board to another.
- Moderating chat
- Deleting blog comments
- Editing and deleting article comments
- Moderating the Discussions feature.
Admins enjoy all the privileges of discussions moderators, so admins do not need to be put in to that group in addition to being an admin.
Content Moderators
Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate specific parts of the community. These tools are:
- Editing and moving fully protected pages
- Deleting and undeleting pages and files
- Editing and moving protected files
- Rollback
- Rename files
- Protecting and unprotecting pages
- Deleting article comments.
Admins enjoy all the privileges of content moderators, so admins do not need to be put in to that group in addition to being an admin.
Administrators
Administrators (also known as "admins" or "sysops") are trusted users who are generally chosen by the community and also have access to the following rights:
- All privileges from both the Content Moderator and Discussions Moderator groups.
- Block users from editing and other actions.
- Grant and revoke both the Chat Moderator and Discussions Moderator rights.
- Edit the community's skin and format.
- Edit white-listed MediaWiki pages.
Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats have the ability to manipulate user rights, as well as block and unblock users, so this right is generally used in addition to the administrator group.
They have the ability to promote and revoke rollback, Content Moderator, and administrator rights as well as appointing new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, they can remove their own. Bureaucrats also have the ability to remove a user's bot status in case the bot is malfunctioning, but bot flag requests are handled by staff after being approved (by either a bureaucrat or the community).
Other Ranks
Founders
A special rank that is unobtainable, and is exclusively owned by the wiki founder, his alternate account used for testing, and the founder of The Cliff Wiki, which was merged with this one. Has the rights of a Bureaucrat and Administrator, and is essentially just a Bureaucrat, but in a way, cooler.
Bots
Robots programmed with JavaScript used to complete specific tasks, usually made by a trusted user such as an Admin or Bureaucrat. These bots are usuall only for minor things, such as grammar correction and categorization.
Interns
Users that are almost eligible for promotion to the next staff rank, or to become a staff member, but the higher-ups are unsure about, resulting in them being temporarily given the rights of the next rank above them for 2 weeks, so the higher staff members can determine if he/she is truly ready or not. Interns of any level exist, including Moderator Interms, Admin Interns, Rollback Interns, all except for Bureaucrat.
Supporters
Users who have supported Zeruel82Mk2 on Patreon or YouTube, and are given an exclusive colored username and VIP stuff.
Discord Moderators/Discord Overseers
Users who are either a Moderator or an Overseer (Admin) on the Cliff discord server, and are given VIP stuff like Supporters.

Demotion
If you failed to comply to any of the wiki rules and have made at least a major misdemeanor, then you will get demoted. Once you have been demoted, you will go back to the staff rank that came before the one you are currently on. Admin-->Content Mod, Chat Mod-->Rollback, etc. An exception to this is Rollback, where you will instantly go back to a normal user instead of becoming an Intern.
Once you have been demoted, it's not over. You still have a chance to get promoted back to your previous rank. However, you will have to wait 14 days until you are eligible for promotion back to your previous rank, and possibly even a few more days while higher staff members evaluate whether or not you should be promoted yet. If you have been demoted twice in a row, then you will have to wait 14 days until you can be promoted to the rank below your former rank, then another 14 until you can be promoted back to your former rank. This will also apply if you are demoted more than two times in a row, adding an extra 14 days each successive demotion.
