Feed The Beast Wiki:Discord

The FTB Wiki Discord server is a place for readers, editors and administrators of the FTB Wiki to discuss and talk about the FTB Wiki and FTB itself.


 * 1) You can cuss or talk about off-topic things (including politics and other adult topics), although the latter should be refrained from if it gets in the way of wiki-related discussion. However, please don't post pornagrapha or anything illegal.
 * 2) You can request for editors to document a particular mod, but keep in mind most have their own agenda and none are getting paid, so don't expect anything. However, if you're an established mod author looking for someone to document your mod, we can make exceptions.
 * 3) No hostility to other wikis! (cough ftbwiki.org) Talking about them and criticising them (nicely) is not banned, but be respectful (see #1). Some editors of "competing" wikis are here, and they are welcome as long as they obey the rules just like anyone else.
 * 4) Feel free to ask questions, but this isn't the best place for non-wiki-related support. #help will link you to some better places to get help if you're having issues with FTB or Minecraft or life in general.
 * 5) You can speak in other languages if you'd like, but keep in mind this is an English-majority server. Just don't abuse knowing another language to talk behind people's backs or to exclude people from your conversation (see #1).
 * 6) I and others with the right reserve that right to kick and/or ban you from this server if you break any of these rules (including the catch-all rule 1). We'll try not to kick or ban without reason and without warning, but your right to a trial is not ensured. Remember, don't be a.

Roles
On the server, there are multiple roles representing the rank of the user on the wiki:
 * Discord owner is me (xbony2).
 * Bureaucrat is the wiki group (https://ftb.gamepedia.com/Special:ListAllUsers?group=bureaucrat).
 * Administrator is the wiki group (https://ftb.gamepedia.com/Special:ListAllUsers?group=sysop). They also have rights to perform admin actions on Discord as well.
 * Editor is the wiki group (https://ftb.gamepedia.com/Special:ListAllUsers?group=editor), not necessarily anyone who edits. This group is often pinged to draw attention to votes, discussions, etc. We generally don't remove Editor rights unless you do something terrible; so, if you are retired/don't want to be pinged, you can request the "Editor but no ping please" role.
 * Translator doesn't correspond to any user groups, but can be assigned to anyone who translates/has translated the wiki. (If you just translate mods, you should request the creator group. Maybe consider translating the wiki? Feed The Beast Wiki:Translation guide)
 * Moderator is for Discord moderators. It doesn't correspond to any user group but has been given to some trusted individuals. They are responsible for enforcing the rules as conservatively and forgiving as possible, and for assigning roles.
 * Gamepedia staff is for Gamepedia staff (https://ftb.gamepedia.com/Special:ListAllUsers?group=hydra_staff).
 * GRASP for the Gamepedia Rapid Anti-Spam Patrol (https://ftb.gamepedia.com/Special:ListAllUsers?group=grasp).
 * WikiPack 1</b> is for members of #wikipack-1.
 * WikiPack 3</b> is for members of #wikipack-3.
 * Creator</b> is a general group for Minecraft/modded creators (modders, modpack makers, artists, editors from other wikis, YouTubers, translators...). Wiki editors from this wiki don't count since the more active of those should be in the "Editor" group.
 * Bot</b> is bots.

Account verification
In order to get a role on the Discord server, users need to verify their account with their wiki account. Here's a guide about how to get verified:


 * You need to have made at least 50 edits to at least one of the language versions of the FTB Wiki in order to get the editor role, although other roles, such as directors, administrators, and FTB Staff, don't require this as long as the role applies to you.
 * Add your Discord handle to your user page or your user profile.
 * Alternatively, you can use the talk page of this page.
 * If you don't want to publish your Discord username on the wiki, you can request using an alternative verification process by asking in #verification.
 * Write  into the #verification channel.
 * If you have made less than 50 edits on the English wiki, you can verify your account on another wiki using the command  as well.
 * Wait for a server moderator to verify your account. Please be patient and don't ping server moderators.
