The leader may be an [[:Category:Active contributors to this wiki|active contributor]] and key member of the community of editors; or, as in the case of [[WikiIndex]], may be 'hands-off'<sup>[[John Stanton]] (founder) and [[Ray King]] (owner)</sup> and leave the day-to-day running to another senior member<sup>[[MarkDilley]]</sup> of the community. | The leader may be an [[:Category:Active contributors to this wiki|active contributor]] and key member of the community of editors; or, as in the case of [[WikiIndex]], may be 'hands-off'<sup>[[John Stanton]] (founder) and [[Ray King]] (owner)</sup> and leave the day-to-day running to another senior member<sup>[[MarkDilley]]</sup> of the community. | ||
Wiki leaders are usually members of both [[sysop]] and [[Bureaucrat]] [[usergroup]]s | == [[Special:ListGroupRights|User group rights]] == | ||
Wiki leaders are usually members of both [[sysop]] and [[Bureaucrat]] [[usergroup]]s, which means they usually hold highest user group rights in order to enforce their leadership if necessary. Depending upon their level of wiki expertise, may also be a member of the [[interwiki]] usergroup, or may even have created an additional [[:Category:User Bot|bot]] account if they tend towards micromanagement. This reflects the usual style of the society they stem from. But this is only one possibility out of many. High user group rights are no indispensable prerequisites for wiki leadership. | |||
== Number == | |||
The number of leaders of any wiki can vary. Necessarily there is only one leader on a [[:Category:BlikiBliki]] because it is a personal thing and not a collaboratory effort. Depending on the type of hierarchy and size of a wiki there can be need of several leaders. In case of a wiki about grassroots movements and grassroots democracy the hierarchy would be as flat as can be which makes every active member of such community a leader. This depends very much on the founder or group of founders and their approach. Either the focus lies on the wiki as a structure or on the [[Wki People]] as a community. | |||
