Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia:Staff

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to run this wiki. We are lucky to have the best staff team a wiki could ask for to run our wikia. With the admins and moderators making sure every page is in tip-top shape and making sure all of our wonderful members are getting along, there is always something new. Here you can get to know who is in charge and a bit about them.

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are generally seen as the "head admins" of the wiki. They have many of the same rights as regular admins, such as deleting files, editing locked pages. They can also promote and revoke admins, discussion mods and image controllers, and can also promote new bureaucrats. While they cannot directly remove another user's bureaucrat status, they can remove their own if they so desire.

Admins
Administrators (Admins for short) have most of the same editing rights as the bureaucrats. They are capable of deleting files and pages, editing locked articles and promoting new discussion mods and image controllers.

Bots
Bots are pieces of software run on alternative accounts operated by members of staff. These accounts are used for carrying out repetitive changes to the wiki. Bot edits are hidden from the Recent Wiki Activity page, due to their mass edits. Revealing the edits can be done by clicking "Show bots" in the Recent changes header.

Image Control (Inactive)
Image Controllers were selected users with the ability to moderate image files. They could delete images and hand out warnings and strikes to users violating the Image Rules. They could also moderate videos and audio files, and were also allowed to delete regular pages that are marked for deletion.

 * TenCentstheTug
 * Gamball
 * SkarloeyFanRWS

 * FlyingPringle

Chat Mods (Inactive)
Chat Mods were users who had the ability to moderate the wiki's chat. They could block users from the chat, which would kick a user out of the chat and prevent them from returning unless the ban was lifted. As of 2015, chat mods are no longer present on the staff, as the chat has been removed.
