The time requirements for being a rollback is three months and/or 500 edits, and as LarsMars said, you unfortunately don't yet meet either.

The reasons we have requirements is so you can prove that you want this position by actively working towards it and showing that you're willing to dedicate time and edits to receive the position/are serious about it, otherwise just about anyone could get the position including people with the intent to vandalize. I'm sure you don't intend to abuse any staff powers, but some people may.

As for all the positions, some wikis are just run differently. Smaller wikis don't need all the different positions and instead can just rely on a few admins, while larger wikis such as this one need some extra hands on deck, especially considering some vandalism we have gotten a lot of.

Here's the positions and what they do:

Bureaucrat: Highest position, they have the powers of all the positions below them, as well as the ability to promote and demote users from all positions, excluding other people in bureaucrat positions.

Admin: They can promote and demote some positions, but not all. They can also block users. They can do all the things of the positions listed below them.

Patroller: They can delete pages, blogs (I think), and comments, and use the rollback tool.

Image Controller: They can delete pages and images.

Forum Moderator: They can delete forum posts, move forum posts, and highlight forum posts, as well as edit forum comments.

Chat Moderator: They can kick and ban users from chat.

Rollbacker: They can rollback edits/ revert edits back to a different version. They can also edit forum comments.

I'd work on meeting some requirements and then apply for a position, although we may not need staff right now. Still wouldn't hurt to ask when you've meet both or one of the requirements! Remember to make edits that are needed and not badge hunting/unneeded edits. Good luck~
