Proposal

Chat moderator

It is important for chat moderators to maintain a connection to Nukapedia with a verified Fandom account, but this requirement would serve better as a focus on engagement in chat instead of a rigorous edit requirement. Chat moderators must have two-factor authentication (TFA) enabled on their accounts.

Discussion moderator

Currently, a content moderator is not allowed to seek discussion moderator rights and is instructed to instead run for administrator. The content and discussion moderator roles and tools are different, and users may not wish to run for administrator. This proposal removes the arbitrary restriction.

Content moderator

The requirements are higher for content moderators in comparison to other moderators in terms of time but lack the same endorsement requirements as the others. The proposal accounts for a user's time as a patroller in their total time requirement and brings edit count equal to discussion board post count. Requirements for mastery have been replaced with competency and the arbitrary restriction for discussion moderators is likewise removed with this proposal.

Administrator

The requirements for administrator are not reflective of the progressive responsibilities of the role, and do not vary from content moderator nor expand upon the requirements of chat or discussion moderators nor include requirements tailored to those outside of a primarily editing role. The following addendum will create more rigorous benchmarks for the role, differentiate it from moderator roles, and provide more inclusivity for all moderation branches.

Bureaucrat

The requirements for bureaucrat should be the most rigorous and not the least defined. Currently, they are not reflective of the progressive responsibilities of the role, and do not vary from administrator or moderators. The following addendum will create more rigorous benchmarks, differentiate it from administrator and moderator roles, require demonstrating high level communication and leadership skills, as well as continuous engagement in all facets of the wiki and its community.

Glad to see this here. I tried to get this done 3 years ago, and couldn't get everything passed which left our Admin requirements where they currently are. ---bleep196- (talk) 01:02, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
