The Editor-in-Chief is a position on the wiki with much responsibility. They are an elected representative and authoritative leader of the wiki who helps settles disputes without interrupting the natural process of gathering consensus, but also intervenes whenever editors become disruptive and malicious.

The editor-in-chief's responsibilites include:

  • Helping lead the staff to encourage good edits, welcome new members, set up projects or collaborations, or anything else beneficial to the wiki.
  • Helping the staff contact other websites for affiliation.
  • Delegating their responsibilities to any staff member, or in some cases, any user, who he or she feels can perform the job well.
  • Recommending users to be promoted to admins, and have users promoted to Trainee who could be candidates for future staff.

A user may remain as Editor-in-Chief for as long as he or she chooses, or as long as he or she has staff support. At the time of his or her departure, he or she may run an election to see who will be elected the next Editor-in-Chief. He or she may nominate one person, and the editor-in-chief's vote counts as one vote. However, the editor-in-chief cannot close the election until at least one week has passed and a simple majority has been reached, even if the editor-in-chief's selected candidate is not elected.

If the incumbent Editor-in-Chief has no nominations, they may simply oversee the election process.

If the incumbent Editor-in-Chief becomes unavailable for an extended period of time, responsibility falls to the wiki owner to hold a new election, or appoint a temporary EiC to fulfill the position until one can be formally elected.

As of the 28th of December, 2017, the current EiC is Moydow via Consensus on the Discord Server.
