MechAssault Wiki Staff are users on MechAssault wiki granted the ability and responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly. Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, Wiki Staff can access a few additional functions.
MechAssault Wiki Staff are encouraged, but not required, to use the following BattleTech rank insignias on their user profiles:

| Bureaucrats | Administrators | Patrollers | Moderators |
Purpose of Staff
The main purpose of MechAssault Wiki staff is to keep the wiki clean and free of vandalism, to keep it running smoothly, and mainly to help editors. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listusers/sysop.
MechAssault Wiki staff should not use their tools to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version they prefer in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism, or use their blocking tool to block a user they have a dispute with. Their tools should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith.
The ideal MechAssault Wiki staff member is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wiki community.
Bureaucrats
The Bureaucrats are senior editors on MechAssault Wiki. As well as being full Administrators, they have management abilities where they can grant limited user rights.
Bureaucrats can promote and demote Patrollers, Administrators and Moderators. They can promote other users to Bureaucrat although they cannot demote other Bureaucrats. Demotion of users by Bureaucrats on the wiki is not done without a community discussion, unless absolutely necessary. In cases where the community cannot reach consensus on an issue, the Bureaucrats may hold a Bureaucrats-only vote to reach a decision.
