VRCWiki:Roles/de
(This page outlines different roles and responsibilities for users on the VRChat Wiki. For roles involving Groups, please see Group roles and permissions).
There are several roles involved in the oversight and production of the VRChat Wiki. This article outlines each role, its responsibilities, qualifications, and expectations.
User permissions
Special roles can be granted to editors by unanimous decision of the VRChat Wiki team. These currently include automoderated users and proofreaders.
Automoderated users
Automoderated users are those who have consistently contributed to the VRChat Wiki and demonstrated trustworthiness by following policies and guidelines. They have their edits automatically approved in the Official namespace (official VRChat information pages). Otherwise, automoderated users have no moderation capabilities or further Wiki responsibilities.
Qualifications
To qualify as an automoderated user, one should be an active user on the VRChat Wiki for at least a week, with several quality contributions and no major infractions. A Maintainer may appoint automoderated users if other Maintainers have no reasonable objections.
Responsibilities and expectations
Like all users, automoderated users must follow VRCWiki policies. Consistent policy violations or disregard for the Manual of Style may result in temporary revocation of privileges.
Proofreaders
Proofreaders focus on translation efforts for articles not in English, and guide other editors in localizing articles.
Qualifications
The proofreader role is assigned if the user holds the "Proofreader" role on VRChat’s Localization community for Crowdin. New proofreaders may also be chosen after consistently publishing quality edits for their known language(s).
Responsibilities and expectations
Like all users, proofreaders must follow VRCWiki policies. Translations should be accurate and based on the English version of the article while continuing to follow the Manual of Style. Once an article is marked ready for translation, a proofreader may translate the assigned pages.
If a page is not yet marked ready for translation, proofreaders should help improve the English article first.
VRChat Wiki team
The VRChat Wiki team members are volunteers assigned by the VRChat Wiki administrators (VRChat developers) to help oversee and maintain the VRChat Wiki.
Maintainers
Maintainers carry significant responsibility in overseeing the VRChat Wiki as part of the VRChat Wiki team.
Qualifications
Maintainers may nominate users for the Maintainer role. Nominees must demonstrate consistent, active involvement in the VRChat Wiki through contributions and discussions on Talk pages or community forums, and be present in the VRChat Wiki Discord server to collaborate with the VRCWiki team.
They must show dedication to policies, trustworthiness, and have no major infractions or substantial objections from the current VRChat Wiki team. VRChat Wiki administrators can veto any new Maintainer.
Responsibilities and expectations
Maintainers can add, edit, delete, and protect pages in most content spaces. They can approve, reject, or modify edits that require moderation. Maintainers help resolve minor disputes between users on Talk pages and can roll back or revert user edits.
They may also moderate users for misconduct. Maintainers participate in decision-making on Wiki policies and nominate candidates for automoderated user, proofreader, and maintainer roles.
Maintainers should stay reasonably active in both contributions and moderation. They are expected to attend and contribute to meetings when possible. Abuse of privileges or disregard for policies can lead to removal from the team, finalized by Wiki administrators.
This is a volunteer position with no strict quotas. However, after about two months of inactivity or an unannounced absence, a Maintainer may be contacted by an Organizer to confirm their continued interest. If there is no response or no change in activity within two weeks, they may be removed. Former maintainers can request to return if there are no major objections, unless vetoed by a Wiki Administrator.
Organizers
Organizers are Maintainers who have extensive MediaWiki experience and have been entrusted with greater responsibility. They share equal decision-making leverage with Maintainers but have additional tasks.
Qualifikationen
Kandidaten sollten ein konsistentes Maß an aktiver Beteiligung und Engagement in Diskussionen über das VRChat-Wiki und dessen Richtlinien nachgewiesen haben. Sie sollten keine größeren Verstöße begangen haben und es sollten keine wesentlichen Einwände von Mitgliedern des VRChat-Wiki-Teams vorliegen. Idealerweise sollten drei bis fünf aktive Benutzer gleichzeitig die Organizer-Rolle innehaben, um die Effektivität dieser Position zu gewährleisten.
When Organizer positions open, a formal call is made for applications with a two-week deadline. Maintainers can nominate themselves by creating a discussion topic explaining why they qualify. All Maintainers/Organizers may comment and vote (thumbs up/down) on each nomination. After the deadline, votes are tallied by subtracting thumbs down from thumbs up. Applicants with the most support fill the available positions. Ties may be resolved through Organizer/VRC Staff consensus. VRC Staff can veto any candidate at their discretion.
Verantwortlichkeiten und Erwartungen
Nutzer mit dieser Rolle agieren als Vermittler zwischen dem VRChat-Wiki-Team (Freiwillige) und der Wiki-Administration. Organisatoren sind verantwortlich für die Planung, Teilnahme und Nachbereitung von Meetings und Diskussionen sowie für die Intervention und Lösung von Konflikten innerhalb des VRChat-Wiki-Teamumfelds. Sie helfen, das VRChat-Wiki-Team zu verwalten, indem sie sich mit inaktiven Maintainers austauschen oder diese bei Verstößen gegen Richtlinien sanktionieren, und führen die ihnen anvertrauten administrativen Aufgaben aus.
Organisatoren sollten in der Wiki-Beitragsleistung und Diskussionen angemessen aktiv sein, an Meetings teilnehmen, diese beaufsichtigen und leiten. Sie sollten sorgfältig Streitigkeiten lösen und bei Bedarf zwischen dem VRChat-Wiki-Team und der Wiki-Administration vermitteln.
Als freiwillige Position gibt es keine expliziten Mindestanforderungen, aber angesichts ihrer einzigartigen Rolle und Verantwortlichkeiten sollten sie im Allgemeinen stärker eingebunden sein als die bereits angemessenen Erwartungen, die an Maintainer gestellt werden. Der Missbrauch von Privilegien oder die Weigerung, sich an festgelegte Richtlinien und Vorgaben zu halten, können zur Entfernung aus dem VRChat-Wiki-Team führen und werden von den Wiki-Administratoren abschließend entschieden.
