Ah, no this is volunteer work. Wikia does pay you if you actually apply for a job at their company, though. I have an actual paying job irl, so I’m living just fine.

It’s my job as in my duty, as head chat mod. I’m a staff member on this wiki.

And no, sorry, you can not participate in the COA meetings. COA stands for Council of Administration, which is a meeting between administrators and the heads of every staff position (which in my case, I’m a Head Chat Mod). Unfortunately, regular users are not permitted to participate, and we’d appreciate if we’re not interrupted either. However, it’s completely fine to read along if you’re interested in the changes made to the wiki.

The other council, is the COTP. It stands for the Council of People and it comprises of all helpers (helpers are a staff position) and they vote on minor things. There is one CFM, which is held by the COTP every month where we get feedback from the general community.

If you would like to participate more than just editing, we have a free to join committee called the volunteer committee, which aims at training users to become good staff member candidates for the future. However, I’m pretty sure being on our discord is one of the requirements for joining the committee, but don’t rely on me for that. It’s best to ask Jack (Jackboog21) for more information on that. He’s the bureaucrat of this wiki as well as the senior chairman for the volunteer committee.

If you want to apply for staff member, you have to meet the minimum requirements. The order goes Helper >> Chat Mod or Rollback >> Discussion Mod or Content Mod >> Mini Admin >> Admin >> Bureaucrat. You currently do not meet any of the requirements for Helper but I’m sure you’ll get there quickly if you wish to apply ^^

I suggest reading these pages if you want to know about the wiki and it’s governance.
 * Councils
 * Committees
 * Staff
 * Also make sure to read the rules.

These can all be found under the “Staff and Help” tab as well, it has more info on the wiki itself. I hope you have a good time here, if you have any more questions you can ask me ^^
