Sysops or system operators are users trusted to be responsible enough to have access to the following tools:

  • They have all privileges from the rollback 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 sysop flag is not a status symbol. Sysop are simply other members of the community with some extra tools on the wiki.

How do you become a sysop?

  • Every founder of a wiki is automatically granted sysop access on the wiki they founded.
  • Other users may also be granted this access, by the founder, or by Bureaucrats.
  • Do not ask to become a sysop. The flag is given out on the basis of need to either effectively manage the wiki, or if there are special semantic functions that you carry out on the wiki.
