 | This page documents an official global policy. It represents broad consensus, and compliance is mandatory for all projects. It should not be modified without prior community approval. |
Stewards are users with full technical access to all features on all WickedGov wikis.

Stewards serve the global and local communities and may only act in accordance with consensus. They are volunteers and are not employed by WickedGov.
Stewards are not governors, arbitrators, or mediators; they have no special authority to resolve local or global disputes.
