Mini-modding is when a user tries to take the role of a staff position in which they do not acquire. It's like when a user without a staff role tries to enforce rules upon others, typically an admin's or a mod's job. Another way a user could mini-mod is if they tried to declare new rules for the wiki, which is taking the role of a bureaucrat. A moderator could mini-mod by trying to declare new rules for the entire wiki.

It's a very out of place thing to do. There are just many different ways someone could mini-mod, and it varies from person to person, so it's not like my example would be the only explanation. You're not wrong, honestly. I saw mini-modding head on as an attempt to control one's decisions, and force opinions on them. I chose that because it seems simpliest of all, but next time I'll take this to note. Thanks!
