The staff was formerly divided into three groups: patrollers, admins, and bureaucrats, each with their own rights. This outdated staff structure was a vestige of Zelda Wiki's [[Community:Zelda Wiki#History|Mastermind system]] and was scrapped in 2014. Bureaucrats were renamed to executives and all staff members are now given full administrative rights, and a single editor was given the position as Wiki Director. This was once again changed on August 22, 2021, where these groups have merged into two groups of Wiki Staff and Wiki Director, as the Executive role really served no purpose. Because of this, many retired Wiki Staff are listed under the old title of Wiki Executive or Bureaucrat because the time they were on the staff team was before the change. | The staff was formerly divided into three groups: patrollers, admins, and bureaucrats, each with their own rights.

Furthermore, some people will have a second account link tied to their profile labeled ([[Community:Zeldapedia|''Zeldapedia'']]). This is because the person originally had an account on Zeldapedia, a different Zelda encyclopedia that merged into Zelda Wiki in June of 2019, during which all Zeldapedia staff members were given administrative rights on Zelda Wiki. Zeldapedia is now kept as an archive and old accounts are linked to in order to preserve history. People listed under the Zeldapedia category were only ever members of the staff team on Zeldapedia, and members in Zelda Wiki & Zeldapedia were staff on ''both'' Zeldapedia and Zelda Wiki before and after the merge for some time. | Furthermore, some people will have a second account link tied to their profile labeled ([[Community:Zeldapedia|''Zeldapedia'']]).

:On ''Zeldapedia'', there were three types of wiki staff: rollbackers, administrators, and bureaucrats. Rollbackers were simply trusted editors that were given the rollback feature; administrators worked like [[#Wiki Staff|Wiki Staff]] and moderated the site; bureaucrats oversaw the whole site as well as promoted administrators. The occupations of each of these retired staff are listed under their roles while on Zeldapedia, in order to preserve history. | :On ''Zeldapedia'', there were three types of wiki staff: rollbackers, administrators, and bureaucrats.
