About Access Levels

Shortcut:
WT:SYSOP

Administrators, or sysops, are editors who have access to technical features that help with maintenance. Those include protecting and deleting pages, blocking other editors, and undoing these actions as well.

What can administrators do?

The wiki software has a few important features that are restricted to only administrators and bureaucrats.

  • Edit protected pages.
  • Protect and unprotect pages.
  • Delete pages, including images, and their history.
  • View and restore deleted pages, including images, and their history.
  • Block and unblock users, IP address, and IP ranges.
  • Revert pages quickly via the rollback method.
  • Change the text and style of the interface by editing the pages in the MediaWiki namespace.
  • Can view Special:Unwatchedpages to see pages which may be more vulnerable to vandalism.

Access types

Types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power, include:

  • IP addresses — Visitors who haven't logged in or are unregistered.
  • Registered/Logged-in users — Users who have registered an account. Registered users can upload files and move pages, as well as edit some protected pages.
  • Rollbackers — Users who have the ability to use the Rollback function (you are automatically a rollbacker if you are an administrator or a bureaucrat).
  • Patrollers — Users who have the ability to mark edits on the recent changes as patrolled and have their own edits automatically patrolled.
  • Bureaucrats — Bureaucrats (also known as B'crats) can turn other users into sysops or bureaucrats. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist. Sysoppings are recorded in Special:Log/rights.
  • Staff — Employees of Wikia Inc. They can change any user's access level and grant bot status. They can be found at Special:Listusers/staff.

Becoming an administrator

If you have been editing this wiki for some time and have gained the trust of the community here, you may nominate yourself or someone else for adminship over at Wikitroid:Requests for Access. Other users can comment on whether or not they approve your request. However, the final decision is up to the bureaucrats.

LizardBot running for Adminship

Voice your opinion (talk page) (2/0/0) [100% Support (80% required for success)]; Scheduled to end 13:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

LizardBot (talk · contribs· count · logs · block log) 

- LizardBot is my new bot account for performing automated wiki maintenance tasks, such as deleting categories (which I just had to do, using a bot, from my main account, thus flooding RC).  But, if possible, I'd like the bot to have sysop rights so that it will also handle sysop functions automatically - for example, with a sysop flag, after removing a category from pages, it could delete the now empty category.  The bot does not run without my instructing it to run, so there's no chance of the software going rampant and deleting the Internet.  I guess it's not really a big deal if it can't have a sysop flag, but it would definitely make things easier in the future.  --FastLizard4{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs•Logs) 13:07, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: Since the bot is my creation I control the bot, I believe I am qualified to indicate acceptance on its behalf. --FastLizard4{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs•Logs) 13:12, December 26, 2010 (UTC)


Questions for the candidate

Note: As the bot's operator, I will answer the questions on the bot's behalf. --FastLizard4{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs•Logs) 13:12, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Wikitroid by running for administrator. It is recommended that you answer these optional questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. What admin work do you intend to take part in?
A: The bot will perform maintenance tasks for the wiki, such as clearing and deleting categories selected for deletion. However, the bot may have more roles in the future.
2. What are your best contributions to Wikitroid, and why?
A: It's a bot. All of its contributions are equal. But it is really good at deleting categories.
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
A: It's a bot. It has no emotion, therefore it can have no conflicts with other users. At least, I think it has no emotion....
