| == What is a moderator? ==
| |
| | |
| Moderators are volunteer administrators of the FamilySearch Wiki who help encourage contribution within a subject area on the wiki, monitor its content, and guide others as they contribute. If you are interested in being a moderator for a specific locality or research subject, please fill out this '''[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rSkd45VM4BDzvL3HSF33xLbN2ooIPKF0sNlIKkmetEI/viewform form] '''to let us know of your interest.
| |
| | |
| Your request will be reviewed, and you will be contacted in a short period of time.
| |
| | |
| == Responsibilities ==
| |
| | |
| The Moderator Job Description includes the following items:
| |
| | |
| *'''Build Community''' - Help build an active, vibrant community of contributors in a locality or topic.<br>
| |
| *'''Recognize Contributions''' - Introduce themselves to new contributors to that locality, potentially recognize contributors for great work<br>
| |
| *'''Help Resolve Problems''' - Generally a very minor part of these responsibilities, it will be important to respond when Wiki Guidelines and Policies are broken by contributors, and help when two or more contributors are in an editing dispute by supporting the Dispute Resolution guidelines.
| |
| *For more detailed information on the responsibilities, see the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Moderator Responsibilities|Moderator Responsibilities]] page.
