Hi,

Today, Wikia introduced new user groups for wiki moderation.

There are two new kinds of wiki moderators: content moderators and discussion moderators.

Content moderators can
 * delete and undelete wiki pages.
 * protect and unprotect wiki pages.
 * move and delete files.
 * suppress redirects on page moves.
 * use rollback for undoing all recent edits by the latest editor on a page.

So this group is mainly for moderating images and normal article pages.

Discussion moderators can
 * moderate the forum, including closing and removing forum threads.
 * close and remove message wall threads.
 * delete blog comments.
 * edit, delete and move comments.
 * moderate the chat.

So this group is for moderating all discussions on the wiki. They also can do everything a chat moderator can do. (However, we feel that we want to keep the areas of responsibility separate - discussion moderators should mostly focus on moderating discussions outside of the chat.)

However, they cannot
 * ban registered and anonymous users from the wiki (discussion moderators can ban people from the chat).

We are now looking for volunteers among our regular registered users of the wiki who will join our team as content or discussion moderators. Please reply to this thread if you want to volunteer!
