Department of Article Maintenance

The Department of Article Management is a department in the Bureau of Fiction that deals with the storage, Deletion, Moving, and Protection of every article in existence. Largely considered to be a pointless and boring job, the Department only has fifteen employees. However, the space allotted to the Department's Article Library takes up an entire floor in the Bureau of Fiction, because of the 4000+ articles stored there.

Sub-Departments
The Department of Article Management consists of four sub-departments, which share the fifteen staff between them.

The Library
The mother of all libraries, which takes up the whole floor 8 in the Bureau. A long, circular room filled with hundreds of bookshelves, which in turn are filled with thousands of article files. Each item, place or character in the CP Fanon Universe has its own file, and any changes made to their file will take effect in the Universe. However, some articles can be edited remotely, from Director Benny's laptop, Narrator's Organ, Kwiksilver's PDA or any other narration device.

Each article is organised into bookshelves, called "Categories". Each Category has it's name pasted across the top of it's respective bookshelf.

Uncategorized articles or unfinished articles were piled up in a corner of the room until Mayor McFlapp and Kwiksilver moved them into the Omnibus for other staff to edit.

Only one staff member dusts the articles and categorizes them, a deaf old penguin named Perkins.

Deletion Administration Board
One of the biggest sub-departments, The DAB's office is taken up mostly by a special incinerator, which articles are thrown in to be sent to the CyberVoid. The Incinerator also has a rollback function, so that an article can be un-deleted, but it is only a retrieval function. Populated by six staff, including Dan, the employees run up to the Library, grab the article's file, and throw it in the incinerator. The job is very boring, but if there's an article who's file is missing, they cannot delete it and so have to obtain an image of that article, then throw it in the incinerator.

Protection Administration Board
The job of this sub-department is to find articles to be protected and encase them in liquid diamond, and put on a Protection Label to say who can edit it. A list of Labels is as follows:


 * Everyone (no diamond needed)
 * Bureau Employees
 * Sysop
 * Master
 * Author

The Department has five employees.

Moving Administration Board
The most dull and boring job in the whole Bureau, this sub-department's job is to change the names of articles and re-file them in different categories. The MAB has three employees.
