The Directors are the staff members in charge of Nookipedia. There are two directors, who manage the wiki's day-to-day operations, lead the staff team, and handle communications with other sites. Additionally, each Director specializes in a different aspect of the site's maintenance. Unlike other staff ranks, promotions to this position are not handled through an application process; when a Director plans on retiring, the two current Directors will select a qualified staff member to fill the position.
In the event of a major vandal attack, directors are able to lockdown editing of the site to users below the Patroller rank, below the Administrator rank, or to all users.
