While they may not necessarily be involved in the translation of the project, they take control of moving, reformatting, deleting pages or other functions that require Admin level access. In the case of an inactive Supervisor, they will temporary assume Supervisor responsibility until a new Supervisor is assigned.

	:'''Project Translator'''
	:A dedicated translator for a certain project. Multiple Project Translators will organize themselves with every project's '''Registration Page''' to prevent overlap.

	===~~Decision-Making Power~~===		===Government System===
	~~The '''~~Baka-Tsuki ~~server'''~~ is ~~owned entirely and paid for by '''[[User:thelastguardian\|thelastguardian]]'''. As such, only TLG and close advisors directly appointed~~ by ~~him have the power to make major decisions. The remainder of the Baka-Tsuki hierarchy exists only to moderate and implement the policies made from the very top.~~		Baka-Tsuki is popularly defined by its members as a '''Wiki-Communist State'''. This is because Baka-Tsuki is neither a democracy or any other particular form of government.

	~~To generalize, currently, only two individuals on the Wiki have '''complete effective authoritarian power''' to make '''final decisions~~''':
	* [[User:thelastguardian\|thelastguardian]] - owner and founder of the Wiki ~~and server~~
	* [[User:Onizuka-gto\|Onizuka-gto]] - de facto second-in-command

	~~All major critical changes and decisions must pass through at least one of the two above individuals.~~

	~~===Baka~~-~~Tsuki Forums===~~
	~~The~~ '''~~[http://www~~.~~baka-tsuki.org/forums/index.php~~ Baka-Tsuki ~~Forum]'''~~ is ~~the primary mode~~ of ~~communication for all governing related issues~~.

	~~Almost all suggestions~~, ~~guidelines, questions~~, and ~~details about Baka-Tsuki as~~ an ~~institution are handled there~~. ~~Feedback to ideas, proposals, and polls are expected to be made in~~ the ~~forums. If you would like to have a voice in~~ Baka-Tsuki, ~~the forums are the place to be~~.		Approximately once a year, promotions are made around the community, and these promoted members join an inner Administrative circle. This Administrative circle helps guide the vision of Baka-Tsuki's future. In the event of emergencies and general issues requiring quick decisions, it mobilizes with a response.

	:'''A proposal''' should be placed on the '''[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/index.php Baka-Tsuki Forums]'''. It will most likely get overlooked if it is placed anywhere else.

It will most likely get overlooked if it is placed anywhere else. Proposals will not be taken seriously if not enough of the Baka-Tsuki Community expresses interest in it.

			:One quantitative and easy way to demonstrate support is to have a clearly defined '''poll or vote''' on an issue (ie: A proposed amendment to the rules) posted in the forums.

	:After a proposal garners '''sufficient community interest''', please email both TLG and Oni (cc some Wiki Supervisors for good measure). Please understand they are busy individuals if they do not get back to you right away.		:After a proposal garners '''sufficient community interest''', please email both TLG and Oni (cc some Wiki Supervisors for good measure).

	:~~They may veto your suggestion~~, ~~decide~~ to ~~implement it straightaway, or they may place~~ a ~~community poll~~ to ~~measure interest~~. ~~Ultimately~~, it~~'s up to the discretion of those individuals of power~~.		The '''Baka-Tsuki server''' is owned entirely and paid for by '''[[User:thelastguardian\|thelastguardian]]'''. As such, all major changes and revisions to Baka-Tsuki must be preceded with a petition/proposal to TLG. A petition/proposal must have significant support from other members of the community (including Custodians and Supervisors), otherwise it will most likely get ignored.

			TLG holds veto powers as well as all absolute powers regarding Baka-Tsuki. All decisions pass through him.
