As a staff member, you represent the wiki, and it is your duty to uphold the wiki's reputation and quality. So above all else, ''you need to make no mistakes''. But ''of course you can make mistakes''. Staff are only human, and if you're treating Pikipedia like a job, that'll just cause unnecessary stress. You should relax, enjoy editing as you always have, and not take the task ''too'' seriously. Just remember that you should try to have a passion for making sure the wiki is free from problems, that's all.

Not everyone is cut out to be a staff member on a wiki. Somebody who is popular in the fanbase could be well-liked for reasons that have nothing to do with the skillset required for being a staff member. When proposing to join the team, any and all users are considered on equal footing, regardless of popularity.

* [[MediaWiki:Gadget-StaffHighlights.css]] should be edited to include the new member.
* A [[Template:News|news item]] should be posted.

A demotion of a specific staff member can be proposed by another user in [[Pikipedia:Proposals]]. The consensus process is the same as for a promotion.
