To add a team member to the channel, we grant the "Operator" flags. We have defined this to give the person a "voice" indicator (which helps others discover who's in the team and to easily remember their name), and to gives administrator rights (such as: edit the "topic" text, ban unwanted guests, and the viral ability to give Operator to other people). While in the channel, run these two commands:

/cs flags #mediawiki-core TheirNicknameHere operator

For example, to grant Operator rights to Krinkle, you'd run /cs flags #mediawiki-core Krinkle operator.

To remove special rights from someone in the channel (this does not ban them), run these two commands:

/cs flags #mediawiki-core TheirNicknameHere -*

The Operator group is defined as follows (see also ChanServ flags).

/cs template #mediawiki-core operator +ARVefiorstv
