Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions.

  • Deleting and undeleting pages and page histories. Administrators can also delete uploaded files, but cannot undelete them.
  • Locking (protecting) a page so it can not 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.

A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. They are also able to remove access from rollbacks.

Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please see the Central Wikia 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:Listadmins.

How do I use administrator powers?

See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Requirements

Rollbacks

Rollbacks are generally expected to meet the following standards
  • 300+ edits.
  • 3+ months of activity.
  • Account over 5 months of age.
  • Fairly active.
  • Have no records of spam/vandalism or being blocked within the past month.
  • Consistent, good-faith article (main-space) edits.
  • Knowledge and experience using Recent Changes or getting familiar with it soon after hire.

Discussions Moderators

Discussions Moderators are generally expected to meet the following standards
  • Fairly active, especially in our Discussions.
  • 100+ edits.
  • 1+ months on our community.
  • Account over 5 months of age.
  • Knowledge of our rules and regulations.
  • Some edits on our articles is preferred.
  • Prior experience modding for other wikis is a plus.

Content Moderators

Your position on our Leaderboard is not an important factor for your eligibility, but can be a good indicator of consistency with the rest of the requirements.

Content Moderators are generally expected to meet the following standards
  • 700+ edits.
  • 4+ months of activity.
  • Account over 5 months of age.
  • Fairly active.
  • Knowledge of our rules and regulations.
  • Knowledge of editing articles and templates.
  • Some knowledge of wikitext.
  • Experience using the classic editor (on "source" mode) is preferred.
  • Knowledge and experience using Recent Changes or getting familiar with it soon after hire.
  • Knowledge of our wiki's basic category structure.
  • Have no records of vandalism or being blocked within the past 2 months.

Administrators

Not everyone can become an admin. Please understand that this wiki only needs enough admins at any given time to handle basic administrative tasks such as deleting articles and blocking disruptive users. Your history on other wikis will be taken into account at the time of application.

Administrators are generally expected to meet the following standards
  • 1,000+ edits.
  • 5+ months of activity.
  • Account over 6 months of age.
  • Extremely active.
  • Experience in resolving edit and social conflicts.
  • Willingness to assist users who request it and respond in a courteous manner.
  • Knowledge of wikitext.
  • Experience using the classic editor (on "source" mode).
  • Knowledge and experience using Recent Changes or getting familiar with it soon after hire.
  • Knowledge of our wiki's basic category structure.
  • At least marginal activity on our community outlets (Discord/Discussions), and an interest in our wiki's community at large.
  • Have no records of vandalism or being blocked within the past 3 months with no previous block lasting more than 1 week.

Bureaucrats

This is solely determined by the existing bureaucrats and administrators. For becoming a bureaucrat, it takes much experience and devotion as well as an admin position. The wiki is currently not seeking more bureaucrats at this time.

Bureaucrats are generally expected to meet the following standards
  • Only acting Administrators are eligible to be promoted.
  • Must be a member of the wiki for at least a year.
  • Extremely active.
  • Have no records of vandalism or being blocked within the past 3 months with no previous block lasting more than 1 week.
  • Willingness to assist users who request it and respond in a courteous manner.

Inactivity and Demotions

After prolonged periods of inactivity (between 3 and 6 months), staff members may be demoted from their positions without notice or receive a notice that they may be demoted; if they resume their wiki activity regularly, they may be allowed to return to their positions.

Staff members are regarded as trusted editors, so if a staff member presents irresponsible behavior or violates the wiki's rules, a demotion may be considered depending on the violation and its severity. Members demoted for rule violations and/or irresponsible behavior will need to wait some time before re-applying for their position and prove to the administration that they have improved their behavior.

Staff members can resign from their positions, or request to be demoted to a lower position, if they wish.

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 use 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.
