Administrators are users trusted to be responsible enough to have access to the following tools:
- They have all privileges from the rollback and discussions moderator groups and also have the ability to:
- Delete pages, page histories, files etc.
- Rename files.
- Lock (protect) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
- Block an IP address or user name from editing.
- Revert bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link.
- Edit the MediaWiki namespace to make changes to the interface.
The administrator flag is not a status symbol. Admins are simply other members of the community with some extra tools on the wiki.
Admins have the ability to grant and revoke discussions moderator rights.
You can find a list of admins at Special:Listusers/sysop.
How do you become an admin?[]
Admins are granted the "Sysop" role by a Bureaucrat.
New admins go through a Nominations process where members of the community discuss the nomination and give reasons why the user is or isn't suitable for the role.
