Role of Stewards
Stewards collaborate with wiki communities to address local issues, such as disputes and abusive or disruptive behavior. They may assign permissions to themselves or other users as needed to support the community. Additionally, they can exercise administrator functions, including blocking, deleting, and protecting pages.
Beyond local responsibilities, stewards oversee global SkyWiki-wide matters, including handling cross-wiki disruptions, assigning global groups, locking accounts, and renaming users.
Stewards are the only users authorized to serve as CheckUser and Suppressor on a SkyWiki-wide basis. Most wikis do not have locally elected CheckUsers or Suppressors.
