In terms of fighting spam, content moderators would be more useful, however our spam issues these days typically come in the form of a mass spammer every once in a while and aren't really a constant issue. In terms of day-to-day wiki maintenance I think we actually have more need of people attending to the forums and policing blog and article comments.

Honestly I think the most useful thing would be to just have a single moderator position comprised of both roles. Just apply for moderator, and Cleric will check the Discussions Moderator and Content Moderator user rights boxes for you. I'd actually prefer it that way, but based on the Fandom blog you linked to Fandom staff clearly envision the two roles as separate specialty tracks so I based my suggestions on that concept, but this wiki is probably small enough to just combine the two, and I think most who would apply for and receive one role would be good for the other as well.

All that said, I think it may be best to table this proposal for now and focus on implementing your other two. Plus, I think sorting through all the Reddit pastas and deleting all the ones that are posted by users other than the original authors is more pressing business. Once we get that done, put the filters up, and set up the admin noticeboard, then I'd suggest we get together with Mr. Dupin and Empy to hash out the final details of how we want the moderator position to work, then make it as a separate proposal.
