The community teams are groups of people dedicated to improving WoWWiki in some way or another!
To join a team, simply leave a message on that team's join page, and the team leader will review you. You will be contacted if you are accepted.
Not being a member of a particular team of course does not mean that you can't carry out one of "their" tasks. Team members are simply likely to do so more, and are the place to turn for other WoWWikians.
The Teams
Admins
You don't get much more powerful than this. Eventually, when all else fails, the other teams turn to the admins. They are mostly members of other teams, who have long proven their worth and ability along with the trust of existing admins, working as an arbitrary council on matters of importance. Common issues they deal with are policy changes and resolving disputes between users, but they can and will step into any role to help out the other teams and deal with things beyond a team's scope or powers.
Bookkeepers
The lore nuts. This community team checks the lore on info pages and makes sure that it is accurate and up-to-date with the latest sources. It is their job to arbitrate any disputes on the lore.

Crow's Nest
Checking the navigability, categorising and stubbing of the wiki. The team...
- Checks that related pages are linked together, and that the wiki as a whole is easy to browse.
- Checks that pages are correctly categorized according to categorization policy and that the the categorization tags have the appropriate sort keys on them.
- Makes sure that stubs are marked as stubs; that stubs merely marked {{stub}} are re-categorized into the correct stub sub-category; and that stubbed pages have some sort of minimal description of what should be there at least for future editors to build off of.

Watchdogs
The Watchdogs incorporate the Recent Changes and New Pages patrollers. They are added to the patrollers group and can mark edits as patrolled. This can be done automatically via a preferences page setting.
The team is dedicated to watching the recent changes list for malicious edits and vandalism and watching the new pages list. They will often comment on the page's talk page and give the author insight into how the page may be improved.
