As the people who run Destinypedia, wiki staff are members of the community who help maintain the site, and as such, have access to a few additional functions. This however does not justify malicious or disruptive behavior from them and staff members are expected to hold to the same standards as any other.

*Be welcoming to new users. Often newbies can be difficult to deal with because of their lack of experience or knowledge of wiki markup. Such users should be dealt with patiently and respectfully. If a newcomer seems to have made a small mistake, try to correct it yourself: do not slam the newcomer. A gentle note at their ~~userpage~~ explaining the wiki's standard and how to achieve it in the future may prove helpful, as they may be unfamiliar with the norm or merely how to achieve it. If you use bad manners or curse at newcomers, they may decide not to contribute to the wiki again.

*If you feel that you must say something to a newcomer about a mistake, please do so in a constructive and respectful manner. Begin by introducing yourself with a greeting on the user's talk page to let them know that they are welcome here, and present your corrections calmly and as a peer. If possible, point out things that they've done correctly or well. Intolerance of newbies due to high expectations is unreasonable and rude.
