Editing Stewards

## Stewards of WikiOasis

### Overview

Stewards hold the highest level of access within the WikiOasis community, granting them the authority to utilize any part of the MediaWiki interface across all wikis.

### Authority

Stewards are responsible for enforcing WikiOasis's global policies. In cases of increased requests for assistance, Stewards may delegate certain tasks to other users, such as Global Administrators, to manage routine actions.

### Roles

Stewards assist wiki communities by addressing local issues such as disputes and disruptive behavior. They have the authority to assign permissions and utilize administrative tools (e.g., blocking, deleting, protecting) to maintain community order. Additionally, they handle global matters, including cross-wiki disruptions, global group assignments, account locks, and renaming.

Stewards serve as the sole CheckUsers and Suppressors across WikiOasis, as most wikis do not have local CheckUser or Suppressor roles. They also function as Bureaucrats on Meta.
