Applying
A few times a year, there will be an open call for moderators. Instructions on how to apply will be listed at that time.

Unlike rollback, moderators are considered local staff members. Thus gaining these rights requires greater effort and competence. Please have a statement prepared explaining why you are a good candidate, what previous experience you have, and what you hope to accomplish as a moderator (specific tasks you hope to participate in that you can't as a non-moderator).

Losing Rights
Users may lose rollback rights for various reasons, including:
 * Misusing moderator rights.
 * Being inactive on this wiki for 14 consecutive days within first four months of gaining rollback rights (breaking the four month commitment).
 * Being inactive on this wiki for 6 months.
 * Being inactive as a moderator for 9 months (even though active in other areas on the wiki).
 * Retiring / user requesting their rights removed.
