Administrators (Admin/SysOp) are longstanding, experienced editors who serve as community leaders. As trusted members, they play a vital role in site maintenance. Administrators may also be bureaucrats, who possess the same tools and obligations as administrators but with the additional responsibility of managing other users' rights.
Abilities[]
While editors have access to most basic features on the site, including reading and editing, administrators have been entrusted with access to additional functions:
- Deleting and restoring pages, page histories, files, etc.
- Renaming pages and files.
- Protecting a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without administrator or moderation rights.
- Reverting bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link.
- Blocking an account from editing.
- Editing the MediaWiki namespace, changing CSS and JS pages, system messages, as well as updating the wiki's theme and design.

To become an administrator, you must be promoted by someone with bureaucrat rights. The Pathway to Adminship policy allows for users to be promoted to administrator provided they are eligible. Factors include the quality of their edits, their experience on the site, and a demonstrated ability to be respectful within the community.
