Wizard (MUD)
Wizard is commonly used in MUDs, particularly LPMuds, AberMUDs and MU*, as a term for the MUD's developers and administrators.

The plural of "wiz" is "wizzes". A wizard's duties may involve various combinations of software development, content generation, gamemastering, community management, and other administrative tasks.
