Who are the moderators here, again? I don't see where to find that information. It's not on the sidebar or About page, and search doesn't yield anything for 'moderator'.

The wiki explains the difference between moderators and editors and has links to the lists that we know about, even if they are not correct.

There are two lists of moderators, one for Discussion and one general LW list. Only difference is that Alexei doesn't appear as a "Discussion" moderator. It's hard to know who on the list is actually active in moderating - site policy seems to be very hands off except in truly exceptional circumstances, and most of the people listed are no longer active here.

edited to add: Of those listed, only EY and Elo display the tag "Editor" when user profile is displayed (under the total/monthly karma listing)

Right, but they're not the only ones. (Check out my profile.)

You might think that the editors list would contain Elo or myself, but it doesn't.

Fixed. put my name on the list.

How did you fix it? If you did anything more complicated than navigating to that page as an editor, you should write it down somewhere, perhaps the wiki.

nothing complicated. Sorry

There's an out of date page that's not linked anywhere. It's unclear to me why it isn't automatically generated.
