The Wikipedian Curia is a private emergency council. Seldom used, it is needed only in times of great distress.

The Curia should be assembled by a Wikipedian who needs great help but does not want it to be known to the general public. He therefore calls trusted friends, editors, or sysops to the Curia for a discussion.

The Curia is meant for public use in the sense that troubled users can use it. There can be only one caretaker at a time. Do not attempt to wrest power from the caretaker; bad things could happen. Only he can access it. Users who want to use the Curia, go away unless it is a private emergency. Now.

The Curia is currently being managed by PhoenixX.

Rules and Guidelines

1. A Curian Assembly must be composed of at least 10 members.
2. The Curia should be assembled in private using a program other than Wikipedia (ex. Yahoo Messenger).
3. The decision of the Curia will be posted on the Curia's talk page.
4. When making a decision involving votes, there must be a majority for the act to push through.
5. In extreme cases, the Curia may be granted emergency powers (sysop status, permission to block, unblock users, permission to edit locked articles, permission to promote to/ demote users from sysop status without voting) but so that these powers may not be abused, the Curian Assembly must agree to take this with a unanimous vote (all 10 members). In addition, all other members of the Curia must vote a majority of 9/10 for the Curia to take on these powers.
