@Uktar: Yes, indeed.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks! That page explains everything!

Yes, Content Moderators are Senior Moderators currently, but they would be turned into near-Admins, with all of the old Admin rights except for MediaWiki access & a few other powerful tools.

Understood!

No, they would just have both rights. A leader admin (“Community Admin”) who is just a leader admin is not lesser than a leader admin who is also a Code Admin, at least in regards to hierarchy & moderation. The two groups together make up most of the old admin rights, but hierarchically they are not comparable. Code Admin is off on its own.

Okay, that makes much more sense. Sorry, sometimes my brain just doesn't get diagrams.

Just to double check I get it:

Code Admin is non-comparable to Community Admin, but Senior Admin=B-crat>everybody else (?)

Sentinels are Chat Mods, but chat mods as an internal group will be given Rollback tools, block tools, & a few other abilities. Right now, Sentinel = Rollback + Chat Mod. In the future, it will be simply Sentinel = Chat Mod.

Well that makes a heckuva lot more sense now that I realize Moderators = Thread Moderators.

“Moderators” are just Discussion Moderators, that’s it. They would be below leader admins (“Community Admins”), & Sentinels (Chat Mods) would also be below Community Admins. It is the job of Community Admins to promote Sentinels & Moderators. Please scroll up & look at the big Tables titled “New Hierarchy,” they explain how it would be (people are voting for one or the other). If a group is below another group on the table, then it is lower on the hierarchy. If a group is above another group on the table, then it is higher on the hierarchy. If a group is beside another group on the table, then it is equal-to or incomparable-to the other group in the hierarchy.

Yeah yeah, I did look at the hierarchies and that's what got me confused in the first place. Definetly Hierarchy 1, my original choice, then. If Sentinels (Chat Mods) can block and rollback, they're automatically equal to Thread Mods, IMO. Hands down.

Joke lol

???

Thank you! :D

You're welcome! It really is if you think about it.

Extra: So the new name for Discussions Mods should definetly just be "Moderators", IMO. Otherwise that'll be a whole 'nother weird thing.
