{{DISPLAYTITLE:Wiki Staff}}
<div style="color:purple;">'''Welcome to the Dragon Mania Legends Wiki!'''</div>

The staff members of the Dragon Mania Legends Wiki are regular volunteers, just like the other users, but with various editing and managing rights that are necessary to keep the wiki in order and ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Bureaucrats are policymakers, they can [[mw:Help:Sysops and permissions|grant or revoke user rights]], rename accounts, [[mw:Manual:RevisionDelete|suppress inappropriate revisions]], view [[Special:Log|certain logs]] and, along with the rest of the staff, maintain the well-being of the wiki.

Administrators design and change the wiki theme, [[mw:Help:Protecting and unprotecting pages|protect or unprotect]] articles, [[mw:Help:Sysop deleting and undeleting|delete or undelete]] pages, create [[mw:Help:Templates|templates]], [[mw:Blocked user|block or unblock vandals]] and, overall, [[mw:Help:Patrolling|keep the wiki in order]].

Moderators manage and monitor comments and flag inappropriate content.

If you want to learn more about the [[mw:Manual:User rights|user rights]] on this wiki, then you can read [[Special:ListGroupRights|this article]].

''We are here to help if you have a question or concern, so feel free to ask us anything. You can even [[Special:EmailUser/DML Wiki|e-mail us]] if you want a more private conversation.''

==Technical Roles (Staff)==

==<span style="color:green;">Community Roles</span> & Rewards==
Most users fall into one of several wiki '''Community''' Roles (from the larger DML community). These users are wiki users that perform routine or semi-routine wiki editing tasks such as inputting dragons, creating and/or updating event pages, flagging articles as needing review, or editing, proofreading etc. '''Some''' members of this group may be eligible for ''nomination'' to earn '''in-game rewards''', for valued wiki contributions (*see Important Notes below).

{{i|important|i}} '''Important Notes:''' 
* Users can propose new roles/responsibilities to technical staff for review, subject to review/approval, if there are specific tasks they'd like to do regularly that meet wiki needs (see [[Dragon Mania Legends Wiki:Editing Central|Editing Central]] for current list of needs). If approved, some roles '''may''' be eligible for one-time, occasional, or regular in-game reward ''nominations''. 
* The roles and rewards (that users can be nominated for) may be added to, changed or be removed, at any time, without notice.
* Wiki Staff do not control, authorize, or distribute in-game rewards, only Gameloft does. Wiki Staff may only put forward ''nominations'' for in-game rewards for Gameloft's review, approval (usually the case), and distribution; thus, wiki staff/members can offer no assurances or guarantees whatsoever relating to in-game rewards and are not responsible or liable in any way for them. 

==Former Staff==
These users are no longer active, either in regard to administrative issues or just general wiki activity, but they may receive their rights back if they ever decide to return.
