Proposal
This proposal seeks to add a new user rights role entitled technical moderator. This role is intended to run parallel with content moderator as an edit-focused staff member, the scope of which comprises of technical aspects of the wiki as opposed to the content within the articles.
Those who are proficient with MediaWiki, CSS/JS, and advanced template functions cannot function autonomously as these namespaces are protected by default. Historically, has been implemented on our wiki on a temporary case by case basis and this proposal moves to create a designated role among existing user rights distinctions.
Function
Serving to bridge the gap between content moderator and administrator, this proposal aims to provide technical moderators access to sysop-level tools without expectations of serving in the same capacity as an administrator. Use of tools outside of the intended scope, such as placing user blocks, will not be expected or allowed. With the exception of access to MediaWiki level articles, the role will function parallel to content moderators both wiki side and in Discord.

Conclusion
The role will benefit our wiki by offering tools to our most technically proficient users, empowering those with technical expertise to troubleshoot and implement fixes proactively, assist with requests and technical inquiries, as well as act as a liaison, engaging with Fandom and our wiki representative regarding potential issues and solutions. It will be ideal for those who have the technical capabilities and enthusiasm for improving the wiki behind the scenes, but who do not wish to serve in an administrative capacity. Thank you for reviewing this proposal regarding this new role and feel free to cast your vote below.

This is going to make things so much easier for those of us who have to bug admins/crats to make changes to the css/js files since we don't have access. Not to say that we are annoying, but I can TOTALLY get annoying about it XD. - - The Appalachian
