These are the staff members abilities and restrictions on Bad Seeds Wiki and all the other Wikis on Wikia.

Administrators
Administrators, or admins for short, are users with more abilities that can access a few additional functions. Admininstrators must edit frequently, and be able to handle and deal with issues that occur in the wiki community.

Abilities Edit

 * Can block a user or an IP address.
 * Can delete pages and files.
 * Cannot edit the interface by changing MediaWiki, the background or the logo.
 * Can kick or ban a user from Chat.
 * Can protect a page so that it cannot be edited by regular users.
 * Can rollback a string of edits made by the same user.

Restrictions Edit

 * Cannot hand out or take away administrator, bureaucrat, chat moderator, or rollback rights.

Bureaucrats Edit
Bureaucrats, or b-crats for short are considered the bosses of the Wiki. Although they also have the ability to block users and even promote or demote users, they do not hold as much power as the admins. There aren't many bureaucrats on the Wiki and it is very hard to be promoted to one, due to the fact that you need to build a ton of trust with the Wiki community.

Restrictions Edit

 * Cannot delete pages and files.

Chat Moderators
Chat Moderators, or chat mods for short, must patrol the Wiki's chat. They must be able to handle and deal with issues that occur in the Chat, as well. However, chat moderators also get a say in who should be the next chat moderator, emoticon suggestions and overall chat suggestions and improvements for the Wiki.
