To add more organization to this website, a list of positions has been generated. Users can volunteer or nominate others for tasks outlined here.

Everyone is permitted (and encouraged!) to volunteer for multiple positions.

Those who accept or self-nominate are encouraged to contribute at their own pace. Outside activities and obligations are something everyone deals with.

To join one of the sections below, please add your username in the bullet list below the description.

Anyone is also welcome to suggest additional positions not mentioned in the comment section below.

Positions

Administrative team

This section is closed at this time. Unlike the other positions, nominations are to be voted upon. In the past, administrators were selected with the founder's discretion, which is now acknowledged to be unfit for a community-based project.

Current members:

Social media coordinators

Exclusive to administrators only, who manage the Facebook page to interact with our readers and promote the website.

Admins interested for this position should contact us at unidentifiedwiki(at)gmail.com

Identification coordinators

Contributors who will take the time to check the status of all unsolved cases listed on the website. This should be done on a monthly basis, mostly by simply checking if a NamUs file has been removed or if the case is listed as solved on a similar, reliable resource.

These members must also take into account the rule stating long-term unidentified/missing individuals have been identified with a reliable source.

Current members:

Image coordinators

Those dedicated to categorizing images and adding required copyright information to images and videos which were not added by the original uploader. Users in this section must be aware of the Image Policy and image guide.

Current members:

Expansion team

Contributors focused on strengthening articles through additional research. Many of our entries are short, as earlier efforts to build the article space resulted with this issue.

Current members:

Case addition team

Contributors who add cases (unidentified, identified and missing) which are not currently listed.

Note: members of this team must read and understand the notability guidelines for recent cases, recoverability, etc. They can be found on the Creating a page entry.

Those focusing on cases from 1949 and prior.
