What is a moderator?[edit | edit source]
Moderators are volunteer administrators of the FamilySearch Wiki who encourage contribution within a subject area on the wiki, monitor its content, and guide contributors. If you are interested in becoming a moderator for a specific locality or research subject, please fill out this form to let us know of your interest. If you have any further questions, please contact LaVera Parris at parrisl@familysearch.org.
Your request will be reviewed, and you will be contacted in a short period of time.
Responsibilities[edit | edit source]
The Moderator Job Description includes the following items:
- Build Community - Help build an active, vibrant community of contributors in a locality or topic.
- Recognize Contributions - Introduce themselves to new contributors to that locality, potentially recognizing those contributors whose work is particularly valuable.
- Help Resolve Problems - Generally a very minor part of these responsibilities, it will be important to respond when Wiki Guidelines and Policies are not observed by contributors, and assist when two or more contributors have an editing dispute by supporting the Dispute Resolution guidelines.
- For more detailed information on the responsibilities, see the Moderator Responsibilities page.
