Chat moderators are users who have chat moderator status in chat in order to moderate a wiki's chat room. Their abilities include:

==Rollbacks==
Anyone can revert vandalism and edits made in bad faith, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. Users with the '''rollback''' permission are able to undo such edits with one click, by using the rollback link on diff pages, user contributions list, or the list of [[Help:WikiActivity|recent changes]].
 
==Local Wiki Staff==
Many wikis have various rules and the like concerning their local staff (admins, mods, etc. pertaining to that particular wiki only). For the BOXBOY! Wiki, some things to know include:
*We do not have any type of application for local staff. All local staff are hand-picked by whoever the current staff is, and such spaces are earned.
*Only local staff get coloured names.
**Admins may have custom colours.
*Only admins are allowed to give warnings. It's okay to give friendly advice and tips, but no one but admins should warn other users.
