A private wiki can only be viewed and edited by its members. To grant someone access, go to [[Special:UserRights]] on your wiki (not SkyWiki Meta, which only local administrators can manage) and add them to the <code>member</code> group.

In rare cases, [[stewards]] and [[system administrators]] may access private wikis to ensure compliance with [[global policies]] or to troubleshoot technical issues. Such access is uncommon, but we reserve the right to do so if necessary.

=== Dealing with Issues Involving a User or Wiki ===
If you're experiencing issues with a user or wiki, there are steps you can take to resolve the situation. Always remain civil and calm—everyone is expected to follow the [[Conduct policy]], including wiki administrators and the stewards. Incivility will not be tolerated.
 
==== If the Issue Involves a User ====
 
* '''Talk to them''': A direct discussion may resolve the issue.
* '''Contact a local administrator''': If the problem persists, reach out to a local wiki administrator. On SkyMeta, you can use the [[SkyMeta:Administrators' noticeboard|Administrators' noticeboard]].
* '''Escalate if necessary''': If there is no resolution and the issue involves a violation of the Code of Conduct, email '''stewards'''{{@}}'''skywiki.org'''. Stewards will review the case and take appropriate action.
 
==== If the Issue Involves a Wiki ====
 
* '''Start locally''': Raise any concerns with the wiki's administrators first.
* '''Seek Steward assistance''': If the issue remains unresolved or involves a serious violation of global policies, and you’re unable or unwilling to contact local administrators, you can request help from a Steward through the [[Steward requests]] board or by emailing '''stewards'''{{@}}'''skywiki.org'''. Be sure to provide sufficient evidence when reporting violations of the [[Content Policy]] or other global policies.
* '''Editorial disputes''': Stewards do not intervene in editorial conflicts. These matters are handled by local administrators, and Stewards will never override local decisions, however they reserve the right to do so.
