Miraheze Limited
Miraheze's assets (in practical terms its bank balance and trademarks) are the property of Miraheze Limited, a not for profit company in the United Kingdom. Miraheze Ltd oversees appoints staff to roles that are critical for Miraheze's continued existence (mainly legal ones).

The Board
Miraheze Limited is made up of a board of directors who appoint new directors. The community many nominate up to 3 directors and technical staff (System Administrators) may nominate 1 which should then be appointed by the existing directors. They are also allowed to appoint up to 5 directors of their own choosing.

The current directors are:
 * Appointed:
 * Void
 * Owen
 * RobLa
 * Community:
 * None
 * Technical:
 * SouthParkFan

Trust and Safety
For more information see: Trust and Safety/Roles

Miraheze Limited is legally responsible for the site's content, however the board delegates the management of this to the Trust and Safety team who ensure that users comply with the Terms of Use including not uploading material illegal in the United Kingdom as well as overseeing Miraheze's compliance with data protection and cybersecurity legislation.

The director of trust and safety is appointed by the board and then (in consultation with the board) appoints trust and safety responders. These are currently:
 * Director of Trust and Safety: Owen
 * Trust and Safety Responders:
 * Dmehus

System administrators
For more information see: Tech:Organisation and Tech:Appointment and revocation policy

Also known as Sysadmins, not to be confused with Global Sysops or Meta Administrators.

System administrators are in charge of the technical side of Miraheze. All current system administrator roles are currently within the department of SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) lead by the Director of Site Reliability Engineering - though some unused roles are outside of it. SRE is further subdivided into two teams: MediaWiki (which manages the MediaWiki software that Miraheze's wikis run on) and infrastructure (which manages the servers MediaWiki runs on and various other software used by Miraheze). Each team is lead by a manager.

The director is appointed by the board and the director then appoints the managers. All other system administrators are appointed jointly by the managers. To apply to become a system administrator, see Miraheze Vacancies. The current system administrators are:
 * Director of SRE: Reception 123 (interim)
 * Infrastructure Manager: John
 * Infrastructure Engineers:
 * Paladox
 * Void
 * Southparkfan
 * MediaWiki Manager: Reception 123
 * RhinosF1
 * Universal Omega
 * Unused Roles
 * Cache
 * Puppet

Counter Vandalism Team
The CVT (Counter Vandalism Team) fight vandalism on Miraheze. It is made up of Stewards and Global Sysops. Wikis can chose to opt out of the actions of Global Sysops but not those of Stewards.

Stewards
Stewards support Miraheze's community, tackling disruptive behaviour (such as spam and vandalism and upholding the Code of Conduct and other global policies) and carrying out actions that require special permissions such as deleting certain pages. They have access to all features of the MediaWiki platform on all wikis.

Stewards are appointed by the community on the Requests for Stewardship page. Stewards must sign a non-disclosure agreement with Miraheze Limited and it is generally expected that a Steward is currently a Global Sysop. The current stewards are:


 * Dmehus
 * NDKilla
 * Void

Global Sysops
Not to be confused with Sysadmins (System Administrators) or Meta Administrators

Global Sysops assit Stewards in fighting vandalism across Miraheze. Their access to MediaWiki is more limited as they cannot read private wikis or use the CheckUser or Oversight tools.

Global Sysops are appointed by the community on the Requests for Global Rights page. It is generally expected that a Global Sysop is currently a administrator on meta. The current Global Sysops are:


 * MrJaroslavik
 * Reception123

Meta
Like any other wiki, meta has its own beuracrats and administrators.

Meta Bureaucrats
As on other wiki, bureaucrats add and remove permissions. They are also highly respected and as such they are trusted to resolve disputes and close RfCs on Meta.

Bureaucrats are appointed by the community on the Meta:Requests for Permissions page. It is generally expected that a Meta Bureaucrats is currently a administrator on meta. The current Meta Bureaucrats are:


 * Reception123
 * Southparkfan
