Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators (also called sysops) can access a few additional functions for a wiki's maintenance.
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki; however, they are not able to remove admin access from any user. There are also some FANDOM Staff members have full access to all wikis. Please see the contact page for details on how to contact FANDOM Staff members.
General[]
- Functions of an admin include:
- Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
- Locking a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights (but must not do so unnecessarily). This is done to: protect highly vandalised pages, such as the Main Page; maintain the integrity of the site's logo and favicon; protect interface and system messages in the MediaWiki namespace; enforce a "cooldown" period to stop an "edit war", upon request, or temporarily protect a recent target of persistent vandalism.
- Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
- Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
- To become an admin, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on Discussions, or ask a bureaucrat directly on their talk page. If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to adopt the wiki, please contact the community staff.
- 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".
- See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.
