Staff (Administrators, Bureaucrats and Content Moderators) are users on Microsoft Wiki with the responsibility to keep the wiki running smoothly. The main job of all Staff is to help users, so don't hesitate to ask a member of Staff if you have any problems or questions.

Certain Staff also have various rights, administrative tools and authority over the wiki. There are two main levels of Staff on Microsoft Wiki, plus Wikia Staff. No users other than the ones mentioned here have any administrative privileges or decision-making authority.

Microsoft Wiki is not officially affiliated to Microsoft in any way. Staff on this wiki have no authoriy to give out free products or deal with software problems.

See Promotion to see the process for nominating staff for promotion, and to provide nominations and opinions.
