Rights-holders, administrators, and moderators are volunteers with extended tools who are responsible for maintaining various aspects of the wiki. They are nevertheless expected to work closely with one another and are held at a high standard of behavior. Rights-holders are not considered higher than an average user and serve exclusively to maintain the wiki and a productive and friendly environment.
