- If you are a member of CCSW’s staff, please check the policy page for additional staff rules.
CCSW’s staff members are equipped with additional tools to help out the wiki in editing, moderation, and community. There are four positions each with varying levels of responsibility: thread moderators, rollbacks, content moderators, and administrators.
- Thread moderators help manage the forums and discussions sections of the wiki, as well as the comments section of each level. They have additional tools to help them keep things organized, such as moving, closing, or deleting posts.
- Rollbacks have the privilege to easily revert edits made by the last user on a given page as opposed to manually undo each revision. In general, this tool is useful to easily combat mass accounts of spam and vandalism or quickly undo pages after a clear and justifiable reason is given.
- Content moderators are long-time helpers who are comfortable with the wiki’s manual of style and are given privileges to protect, delete, move (without redirect), and restore all mainspace pages/files. Generally, content moderators are grouped with thread moderator privileges.
- A few members of the community that hold these ranks are solely promoted as difficulty module editors (DMEs). While not officially content moderators, they are given these permissions solely to edit the difficulty ratings on the levels namespace with exception to cases in emergency. These users are also required to be active on Discord at all times and interact with the community there to hold these ranks regularly.
- Administrators are experienced users who have proven time and time to be pillars of the community, integrious leaders, and humble guides that the wiki can always count on. Administrators are granted moderator permissions in addition to abilities to edit system pages and block users. A very limited number of long-serving administrators are bureaucrats who are granted authority to promote users, as long as they have undergone the process of being promoted.
Feel free to read more about user privileges here.
All staff members serve the community for the greater good and without personal interests or ulterior motives in mind. They are familiar and comfortable with policy guidelines and assist the community to abide by them through neutral moderation. They consistently strive to find the balance between enforcing the rules and allowing the community to thrive on its own. They are generally compatible with all and ensure that everyone is treated with good faith.
On moderation
“ |
The way moderation is undertaken can mean the difference between a peaceful outcome or an inflamed predicament. When speaking of moderation, both moderators and administrators have a significant responsibility to see a resolution to conflicts by providing a positive influence that is conducive to users feeling comfortable and supported as much as possible and particularly throughout challenging situations. It should be recognised that it is quite possible for situations to deteriorate as a result of insensitive staff intervention. It is very important to maintain a neutral perspective and an objective approach in order to act fair and justly. With that in mind, site policy should always be enforced in a professional manner and with respect for all individuals and their perspectives. Offenders should be kindly informed when they are acting inappropriately so that they are aware that their actions are objectionable where they may not have been fully aware. Here, only after persistent disobedience should punishments be resorted to. If an explanation is ever requested, one should always be granted. It is important that any moderation involving punishments are clearly explained so not to breed a negative atmosphere by a perceived sense of injustice or antagonism towards particular individuals. This has the potential to generate new issues, which contradicts the purpose of moderation. Staff must not act superior towards others or abuse their tools. Their intentions should lie in improving the wellbeing of the community first and foremost. |

User:Lefty8899 |
(bureaucrat) (inactive) | I am the founder of the Candy Crush Saga Wikia! I started playing Candy Crush in August 2012, when there were just 170 levels. This was before Candy Crush became very popular, and was still in beta! I had skipped the tutorial and then found myself wondering how certain mechanics worked, but to my surprise there was not even a Wikia on CCS. I created one.... and then Candy Crush hit the mainstream and all heck broke loose! I was an avid and regular player in 2012-2015, and was similarly active on this Wikia and in the chatroom. However, since 2015 I have been a lot less active and don't play Candy Crush anymore. But I do still check back every now and then! I am still somewhat active on the Discord server. I am very thankful for all those who joined over the years, and have made some amazing friends for life through this Wikia! Still incredibly thankful for this whole experience! |

Content moderators
User:Overloadxyz | (thread moderator) (active) | Hi, I'm Overloadxyz! I have been a fan of Candy Crush since 2014. I enjoy coming up with fun and new predictions for what the game will hold next. |
User:SuperSprinter156 Scottish |
(active) | Hi! I'm SuperSprinter156, also known as YoshLee44 everywhere else. I've been playing Candy Crush on/off since early 2013 and I have been part of this wiki on/off since early 2015. My main duty here is to manage the difficulty module, which shows how Very Easy - Nearly Impossible every level is. I also do some general edits and image uploads. One more thing, I'm Scottish :)! |
Difficulty module editors
User:919Mario German |
(active) | Hello guys, I'm Mario. While I am known for my temper, I also have that kindhearted side of me. My first time that I was touching this game was in 2012, but I disliked the lives system so I quickly said no and it took over 8 years until one day I was holding a conversation with someone about CCS that I touched this game again. I also have my own fanon of this game which currently has 407 levels. As you can see on the title, my main task on the CCS wiki is handling the module and rate levels from Very Easy to Nearly Impossible. Also another thing; I'm German. |
User:Goldenswordz | (active) |
User:Ryan.supper | (active) | Hey everyone, I'm Ryan (Also known as cryptichatter). The first time I played this game was back in early 2020. As you can see from the king levels today, the level qualities have gotten worse and worse which made my progress go downhill. However just this year I found I can "ban" levels which is how I progressed 1k levels in a month. As from my name here on the wiki, I mainly handle and edit the module from time to time. Feel free to leave a message on my message wall if you have further questions about me. |
Rollbacks
User:LucZha003 | (active) | LucZha003 is an active CCS player who reverts vandalism about false information regarding redesigns and difficulties. He tries to do the task as effectively as possible, and I am currently doing a series of posts about the connections between the difficulty systems of Geometry Dash and this wiki. |
User:Tasty Sugar Track | (active) | I am a big fan of Candy Crush. I have been playing Candy Crush constantly since January 2017. It has great music. I hope the timed levels theme returns in a future level type someday. |

Inactivity Demotion |
Inactivity policy
An inactive user is one who has made no contributions or user rights actions in approximately 1-3 months (based on the last contribution date or last date the last action is processed according to the user log) and has not been seen in Discord for the same amount of time. In addition, if a user’s activity has significantly declined for a long period of time (approximately 3 months to a year) compared to when they were promoted, this is also subject to the grounds of being considered inactive at a bureaucrat’s discretion.
However, if a user has announced either on Discord, Discussions, or their message wall stating that they will be away for a while and has given a reasonable intended return date, then action should not be taken over inactivity until that date has long since passed.
If the user has not been seen for a while at all, then a bureaucrat can demote the account and then place a message on their wall stating why their rights have been removed. Similarly, if the user’s activity has dropped significantly, then a bureaucrat should attempt to reach out to the user first and wait for their response before deciding what to do. If the user ignores the message for over a week or states that the bureaucrat can demote them, then they can do so. If the user wants to hold on to the rights, then they have the privilege to do so. However, shall the bureaucrat still believe that a demotion is the best idea, they should receive support from at least three to five (if not more) other administrators to remove ranks before doing so. In such a case, the inactive user should agree that the wiki needs to move on and can get their rights back when their activity comes back to a more reasonable state.
- A user who has been demoted due to inactivity (and does so peaceably) will be given the status of a former user holding the rank (such as former administrator, etc.). Depending on the conditions, they can easily re-request for the same or lesser privileges by contacting a bureaucrat, provided that they have decided to come back to this wiki and have recovered to a reasonable activity level.
Users that no longer want their rights can demote themselves at any time to be given the status of a former user holding the rank. They can also re-request for the same or lesser privileges by contacting a bureaucrat, provided that they have always still acted with the same mannerisms before, during, and after the last promotion.
- The inactivity policy does not protect those who have abused their privileges and rights, demoted themselves to spite someone, or have done so as an act of self-sabotage. Shall a ranked user do this, they were unfit for the position in the first place and shall not be promoted again unless they go through another request for user rights.
The following pages need to be updated whenever a user is demoted or repromoted:
- Candy Crush Saga Wiki:Staff (this page)
- MediaWiki:ProfileTags
- Mediawiki:UserHighlights.css
- Template:FormerAdmins (and/or Template:CurrentAdmins)
- Template:UsersNavBox
