 * The moderator right should be assigned in the same way that all user groups have historically been assigned: via a nomination page a la Terraria Wiki:Admin and Bureaucrat Nominations and Terraria Wiki:Rollbacker Nominations. The only point of contention is whether this nomination would be rolled in with the rollback nominations or would have its own page*.
 * Moderators should have a username highlight (maybe light green, per Silver's suggestion?) and a tag on the forums, but should probably not have a comment highlight.
 * The people who have been called out as potentially being suited to the role are:

Anyone have anything else they would like to add to this? This seems like a pretty good summary of the discussion so far!

The only thing I guess I could comment on is maybe having a different color besides light green. All of the other user rights groups, barring administrators and b-crats (the admin and b-crat similarities in username highlights are going to change soon, anyways; Forze and I discussed changing the b-crat username highlights to a different color earlier, so that will likely be implemented soon), have their own specific color. (i.e: chat moderators are red, rollbacks are green, admins and b-crats are light blue (for now)). So maybe we could do an entirely different colored highlight for this rights group, rather than using a color that might be potentially similar to the rollback highlight colors? Maybe a  yellow ,  purple , or  brown ? Dunno, I might be over-thinking this. :P

Namely, I propose that Terraria Wiki:Admin and Bureaucrat Nominations and Terraria Wiki:Rollbacker Nominations should be merged into a new page where nominations for all user rights will take place. I expect the title of this page would be Terraria Wiki:Rights Nominations or the like. I'm in agreement with hosting all the nominations on one page. It's more convenient and seems to make more sense than having two, or even three pages for nominations. The title, "Rights Nominations", sounds like a keeper, also.
