Introduction
The Wiki Administration Group (WAG) is a support department of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. It is responsible for updating all pages contained in the Regimental Wiki. These pages are the most concrete forms of information available to members of the 7th Cavalry and include all policies and procedures. The Wiki Administration Group updates, creates, deletes, and amends pages when necessary. The Wiki Administration Group is not responsible for creating SOP/Policy outside of its own scope. For this reason, the department works with all other departments to ensure they have access to the right information, for the right people, at the right time.
Operations
The WAG Department primarily resolves issues through the ticket system. All members are permitted to submit tickets to the WAG Helpdesk. In this ticket system, users can report problems, submit new material, or request edits to existing pages.

Having joined the Wiki Admin Group on May 19, 2018, the Wiki has undergone some serious renovations since Major Czar joined the department. Major Czar is also responsible for the inception of the 7th Cavalry Memorial Center; however, Czar would leave the 7th Cavalry before his project came to fruition. In March 2021, Staff Sergeant Dammond Richards took charge of the department and spearheaded the creation and implementation of the Regimental Historical Memorial Project, in which previous commanders of S shops, Company, Battalion, and Regimental staff are catalogued in their respective wiki pages. Chief Warrant Officer 4 Gregory Vercin then pursued the completion of Major Czar's 7th Cavalry Memorial Center and 7th Cavalry Memorial Archive in addition to the creation of the auditor sub-department of the Wiki Admin Group.
