Volunteer ladder
Becoming a trusted volunteer
Everyone starts small and earns more responsibility by doing good, consistent work. Here's how the ladder works and what each step unlocks.
The steps
- 1. Volunteer
- Where everyone starts — Submitter, Sorter, or Confirm. Your work goes into a private review queue; nothing you touch is public until an admin approves it. Just do your role well.
- 2. Trusted volunteer
- After around 50 contributions and a clean record, you can request a review from your profile. Trusted volunteers can edit article pages directly and upload media — you're no longer confined to the queues.
- 3. Editor
- For volunteers who've shown sustained, accurate work. Full content editing and page moves across the wiki. By invitation from the team.
- 4. Admin
- For volunteers who've shown consistent judgement over time. Admins publish confirmed records, handle the queues, and keep people safe. By invitation only — admins are chosen, never self-appointed, because the role can see and act on everything.
How to move up
- To trusted volunteer: hit 50 contributions, then use the Request a trusted-volunteer review button on your profile.
- Editor and admin: no application — the team watches for consistent, careful work and reaches out. The best way to get there is simply to keep doing good work.
What we look for
- Accuracy over speed. A wrong record is worse than a slow one.
- Care with people's safety and privacy.
- Following the volunteer guide and sourcing everything.
