Chat Moderator/Admin/Rollback Related
What is a chat moderator?
A chat moderator is a user who is able to either kick or ban users from the chat who are not following chat rules.
However, this is rarely used, so it is more of an honorary title.
How can I become a chat moderator?
Here are some basic rules to become a chat moderator:
1. You must know and agree on the chat rules.
2. You must have been active on the wiki for three months.
3. You have active on the wiki everywhere, not just the chat.
4. Do not pester the admins/bureaucrats to make you a chat moderator.
5. Chemistry among other users is imporant as well.
6. If you've been banned, you probably can't be a chat mod.
Fufilling all these requirements will not necessarily make you a chat mod. It depends if a wiki needs a chat mod at that moment.
It should also be noted that the chat mod position is like a pre-admin, and that a lot of trust goes into that promotion. Users applying for chat mod should also have some level of requirements for being an admin.
What are admins and bureaucrats?
Here is a basic definitinon of admins and bureaucrats: http://wingsoffire.wikia.com/wiki/Wings_of_Fire_Wiki:Administrators
How can I become an admin?
In order to become an admin, a user must meet a certain set of requirements:
1. You have to be active on the wiki.
2. You should be on forums, comments, chat, message walls... essentially everywhere.
3. If you've been banned, you probably can't be an admin.
4. You'll have to be interviewed by a bureaucrat.
5. Others' opinions of you are important.
6. Be polite, nice, pleasant and respectful.
7. You have to not be offensive to other people. For example, go on Morrowseer's page and talk about how you want to kill him, or go on Fatespeaker's page and talk about how if she dies you will laugh (both are real.)
8. You have to realize that this isn't a game. Adminship will stress you immensely. It will wear you down and exhaust you. Leadership is very hard, and many people wouldn't enjoy it. If you're on the wiki just to have fun, don't apply.
You should probably apply for rollback/chatmod before becoming an admin.
The other admins have a say in whether you get it or not too.
It should be noted that fulfilling all these requirements won't guarantee adminship. Social interaction is very important as well, and whether or not the wiki needs a new admin.

What's a rollback?
A rollback is a user who is able to reverse edits quickly. (vandalism, etc.)
How can I become a rollback?
Here are some basic requirements:
1. You have to have been active on the wiki for three months.
2. You have to be active on the wiki everywhere.
3. You have to be able to easily navigate the wiki.
4. If you've vandalized or have been banned, you probably can't be a rollback.
Like becoming an admin or chat mod, fufilling these requirements won't garuntee a promotion. It depends on what the wiki needs.
