About the wiki Administrators Discussions Images Style Guide Vandalism

Administrators are users who have been entrusted with additional sysop (system operator) privileges to better aid them in maintaining the site, including:

Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, files, etc.;
Renaming files;
Locking (protecting) pages;
Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing;
Reverting bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link;
Editing the MediaWiki namespace to make changes to the interface.

Bureaucrats are administrators with the additional ability to manage users' rights when necessary.

For a complete list of users who have sysop rights, see Special:ListUsers/sysop.

-== Administrator abilities ==
-These additional functions are:
-* Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
-* Locking ([[project:Protected page|protecting]]) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
-* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
-* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
+[[Category:Community]]
-A '''bureaucrat''' can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. However, he or she is not currently able to remove admin access from any user; please contact one of the community staff if you need that done.
-Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in [[Special:Listusers/staff]] on any wiki. [[Wikia:Janitor policy and guidelines|Wikia janitors]] have limited administrator access to all Wikia for cleanup purposes. These users will be shown on [[Special:Listusers/janitor]] on any Wikia. Please see the Central Wikia [[Wikia:Contact us|contact page]] for details on how to contact Wikia staff.
-== Who are this wiki's administrators? ==
-The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see [[Special:Listusers/sysop]].

-== How do I use administrator powers? ==
-See the [[Help:Administrators' how-to guide|administrators' how-to guide]] for a guide on using admin functions.
-== Becoming an administrator ==
-For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger Wikia, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "Requests for Adminship". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the community portal or [[Forum:Index|Forum]], or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.
-If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to become an administrator, please contact the [[Wikia:Community Team|community staff on the Central Wikia.]]
-== What can administrators not do? ==
-Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith.  Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
