Board Thread:Official Rules and Announcements/@comment-5963425-20140304182625

Bienvenue Fanoneers,

I gladly represent you the information about the new ranks that we would like to invent. But, this can only happen with your support and feedback. If there is anything more reasonable to be added or removed, please add that to your comment. It will help us improve the ranks to be more suitable. And, together, we can convince the Wikia Staff to support us into adding the additional ranks to improve our site.

Shall we begin with the ranks? (NOTE! Several of these ranks are not yet ‘here’. Wikia Staff needs to enable them)

Forum Moderators / Medical-nin (NEW)
Forum Moderators, called Iryō-nin (医療忍, Medical-nin) on this site, are responsible for monitoring the wiki’s forum. They have access to the following tools;
 * They have the privilege to edit the content of a placed message at the forum.
 * They may remove the thread and comment from the forum.
 * They can highlight a thread, if it deems to be necessary to be shared in general with the community.

Note: This rank would be used once the new forums are in use, which also will effect the current application module.

Cleaning Patrollers / Hunter-nin (NEW)
The Cleaning Patrollers, called Hunter-nin (追い忍, Tracker Ninja) is a small team that will keep the site clean. These users are entrusted to delete inappropriate and out to date pages and images from the site. The main task that this new user group will do is a mass delete ‘clean’ event, deleting pages in the various mass delete categories, but also older images that are no longer used or against the image policy.

Responsibility
 * Delete (old) pages that go against the MoS.
 * Delete (old) pages that are within the deletion categories.
 * Delete images that are against the image policy, or no longer used.
 * Have the role to undo vandalism. (They will have the rollback rights)
 * Enforcing the policies the Naruto Fanon withholds. This is especially about following the Manual of Style and Application policy. If the author does not adjust or apply for the article, the article may be deleted after a week.
 * Tagging articles that require approval of the Application Policy with the or when it needs to follow the Manual of Style:.

Rules
 * If the last edit on the page has been done after December 31th, 2012, the Cleaning Patroller requires informing the author about the deletion on their message wall. A standard message might be invented after the rank goes in effect.
 * Would a deleted article be requested to be restored, the Sysop in charge must be informed about this. The Sysop will decide whether or not this will happen, and only he/she can restore the article.
 * If the Cleaning Patroller violates his/her rights, the Sysop in charge may revoke the user’s rights without a warning.

Aides / ANBU (NEW)
Aide, otherwise known as the helping hand of a Sysop, has certain tasks depending on the Sysop they aid. Certain Aides are allowed to have more privileges to help the Sysop in their duty, hence the ‘rank’ ANBU.

The ANBU (暗部; English TV "ANBU Black Ops"; Literally meaning "Dark Side") are entrusted users appointed by the Sysop to aid them in their duty. These users have access to ‘helpful’ tools, such as; The ANBU does not have the ability to promote users to enable privileges. That can only be done by a Sysop.
 * They have all privileges from the rollback groups and also have the ability to:
 * Delete pages, page histories, files etc.
 * Rename files.
 * Revert bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link.
 * Block an IP address or user name from editing.

 Responsibilities 
 * All ANBU have the block ability, however. This ability may only be used against trolls and vandalisms. Using block for other circumstances will need to be discussed with a Sysop.
 * The ANBU have been chosen by the Sysop to help them out in their duty, and so, ‘must’ aid the Sysop in their duty.
 * Depending on the Sysop, the ANBU has the right to judge the application in the absence of the said Sysop.

''' How do you become an Aide? '''
 * A Sysop can appoint maximum two users to become their aide that will help them in their duties. Do not ask to become an Aide.

Chat Moderators / Chūnin
Chat Moderators, called Chūnin (中忍, Middle Ninja) on this site, are responsible for monitoring the wiki's local chat. They are responsible for the following tools; Like all other flags, this is not a status symbol. Chūnin are responsible for keeping order in the chatroom.
 * They have the privilege to kick disruptive users from the chatroom.
 * Block users completely from the chat, if a kick doesn't seem to be sending the message across.

Mediawiki Editors / Jōnin
Mediawiki Editors are users entrusted with the privilege to edit the Mediawiki namespace to update the Mediawiki of the Naruto Fanon. These users will be tasked to also ‘liven’ the site up, to for example, change the ‘skin’ of the wiki.

Usertags (Mediawiki)
We are trying to install Usertags to the site. Until now we have not succeeded, and have broken our code several times. Hopefully, soon the team will manage to get it installed. Would you have suggestions or are eager to help out, please inform below in the comments on how we could succeed ;).
