Administrators on the wiki are supposed to help users and enforce the [[Screamer Wiki:Rules|rules]] by giving punishments to users breaking them. Admins are the ones who manage and maintain the wiki. They also have the ability to block other users. ''If you abuse your rights, these rights will be revoked and/or you will be banned from the Screamer Wiki.''
Helpers and administrators are to moderate in accordance to the rules. Bans should be short, as long as the content the user would be getting banned for is not excessive spam, illegal content, or ban evasion.
 
=== '''How are they supposed to enforce the rules?''' ===
As an admin you are supposed to enforce the rules by giving punishments to users breaking them. You can see the [[Screamer Wiki:Rules|rules here]]. Here is how you should handle rule violators.
# '''Never use any scary images or ''clickable links'' that lead directly to the screamer website. You are allowed to use ''un-clickable links'', or links that can't be clicked on.'''
#* Remove the violating content and give the user a warning. If the user repeats this more than once they will get a 1-day ban. If it is repeated again after this, the punishment will be doubled.
# '''Please use either the forum, discussions, the chat, or your user blog to communicate with other users. Do not create pages that are out of subject, ''or you will get a warning.'''''
#* Remove the violating content and give the user a warning. If the user repeats this more than once they will get a 1-week ban. If it is repeated again after this, the violator will be permanently blocked. If the user creates another account to come back, please contact an admin.
# '''Use correct grammar & spelling, write in English. ''If this rule is violated, your account won't get blocked.'''''
#* If the grammar is incorrect, fix it.
#* This wiki is available in multiple [[Screamer Wiki:Languages|languages]]. However, if you see someone writing in a language other than English on this wiki, link them to the correct wiki.
# '''The page name must always be the name of the screamer, without www. or <nowiki>http://</nowiki>. For example, ''ScaryScreamer.com'', and not ''<nowiki>http://www.scaryscreamer.com/ http://www.ScaryScreamer.com</nowiki>''.'''
#* Rename the page to the correct name using the reason "The page name must always be the name of the screamer".
# '''Do not delete, blank or replace the content of a page (unless you want to fix an entire article that gives wrong information).'''
#* Undo the edit. If the edits were on purpose, block the user. If the user creates another account to come back, please contact an admin.

User Rights Guide

This guide explains everything about user rights on the Screamer Wiki.

What are admins?

Admins are trusted users that work to keep Screamer Wiki up to quality. Administrators have access to almost all tools on the wiki.

What are helpers?

Helpers are trusted users that are halfway between admins and normal users. Helpers have access to tools to help moderate the wiki; these tools include rolling back edits, deleting and undeleting pages, and deleting comments. Helpers are supposed to enforce the rules as written. Power-tripping is grounds for immediate expulsion from the Screamer Wiki staff team.

Anyone that was given rights in the past (such as AllPageAccess) would become a helper.

How do I become helper?

You can do that by contacting Lawiki or Tankman fan 44. On rare occasions, helper is given automatically.

To become a helper you must

  • Treat others with gracious professionalism.
  • Be able to read and write in English at a native level.
  • Be at least 16 years old.
  • Have an account that is at least 30 days old.
    • The "at least 30 days old" portion of this policy is waived if you had an account on the forums or Discord for more than 30 days. You still must have a wiki account to become helper.
  • Have an account on Screamer Forums and/or Discord.
  • Be in good standing with the Screamer Wiki community.
  • Have a computer.

To retain your user rights, you must be active on the wiki - don't forget to contribute every now and then!

How are helpers and admins supposed to enforce the rules?

Helpers and administrators are to moderate in accordance to the rules. Bans should be short, as long as the content the user would be getting banned for is not excessive spam, illegal content, or ban evasion.

Tips and Tricks

  • Be cool to other users. Admins are supposed to enforce the Rules, but without being too harsh!
  • Invite users to the wiki. By recruiting contributors, you are helping the community grow even further!
  • Assume good faith. Most users that contribute to the wiki are trying to help, not hurt!

Thank You for reading!

Other Notes

User rights may be revoked at any time for a certain reason or no reason at all, as long as such removal was not because of a protected class as determined by the state of California.
