All FANDOM related wikis have staff members who help keep the place running smoothly. They are given certain rights, which helps them to properly enforce the community guidelines. If needed, they can take action on any user. Let us understand well about these various staff posts.

Staff members are awarded a special badge, which is displayed on their profile pictures. Also, names of all the current and former staff members are mentioned in this page. Staff members' policies are present in this page.

If you are wondering how to apply for user rights, this page will help you.
