Topic
I would like everyone's input on how we should call/consider grouping our "promoted positions."
In the policies, all users who are promoted are referred to as "promoted users," but I am sure we can come up with something better to encompass all of them.
At the present time, here is what we have:
- Administration
- Bureaucrats
- Administrators
- Editing roles (perhaps there is a better name for this?)
- Assistant
- Rollback
- Social roles (can also be referred to as "moderators")
- Discussion moderator
- Chat moderator
What shall all of them be called? I feel that "staff" refers to employees, maybe something along the lines of "leadership team" or something.

Preview • Modify • Commenti think some of the confusion may be coming from all roles being listed on the ESB:Administration page, leading users to refer to promoted users collectively as "the administration." ѕqυι∂∂ℓєωαя∂ ❮мεssαgε ωαℓℓ ● cσηтяιвυтισηs ● ε∂ιтcσυηт❯ 16:29, December 11, 2017 (UTC)
I suggest we use "ESB:Roles" instead of "ESB:Administration" for all "promoted users", but other than that, we should refer to all users as just users. AW10 Talk Contribs E-Mail 16:54,12/11/2017
I tried to look for synonyms on the internet (nothing useful there), but after thinking, I believe we should leave it as it is. SpongeBob13579 (Wall/Contribs/Friends) 
Or perhaps, rename the ESB:Administration page to ESB:Staff so there wouldn't be any confusion per Squiddle. For AW10's suggestion, simply renaming it to ESB:Roles can mean all the roles available and not the promoted users who have them. In my opinion, I think renaming the page to ESB:Staff is a better suggestion.

it would also be very easy to confuse with fandom staff. ѕqυι∂∂ℓєωαя∂ ❮мεssαgε ωαℓℓ ● cσηтяιвυтισηs ● ε∂ιтcσυηт❯ 14:51, December 14, 2017 (UTC)
Some users suggested “Crew” or “Krusty Crew” which might be a better option. (Contact • Contrib) 14:58, December 14, 2017 (UTC)
