Sorry Tupka, before we proceed with the discussion at hand about the need for maintaining independence and respecting individual freedoms of all editors on the wiki, whilst at the same time respecting the wishes of the game developer's staff, shall we digress for a moment onto the issue of "staff", which seems to be your intention here?

I note that you are listed as one of the FANDOM "Councilors", no doubt meaning that you are a member of the FANDOM "staff" team. Congratulations, that's very cool. However, I don't see how other groups, such as individual wikis within the FANDOM stable, having their own "staff", or the game developer of the fandom which is represented by the individual wiki as having their own "staff" can, as you say "lead to confusion". Nobody in this discussion as yet seems to be confused on this matter at all. From what I understand, FANDOM does not have a trademark on the use of the term "staff",do they? Is there some official policy or statement from FANDOM that you can point me to which prohibits the use of the term by anyone else? No? Cool, then can we please get back to the subject at hand now? Thanks.
