== 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 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 [[FamilySearch Wiki:Moderator Responsibilities|Moderator Responsibilities]] page.
