WikiGuide:Administrators

Administrators, also called admins or sysops (the system operators), are WikiGuide editors who have been granted the technical ability to perform certain special actions. These include the ability to block and unblock user accounts, IP addresses, and IP ranges from editing, edit fully protected pages, protect and unprotect pages from editing, delete and undelete pages, rename pages without restriction, and use certain other tools.

Administrators assume these responsibilities as volunteers after undergoing a community review process. They do not act as employees of the WikiGuide. They are never required to use their tools, and this right should not be interpreted as an award. They are different from WikiGuide:Administrators.

The WikiGuide has 0 administrators currently. Totally there is 1 user having administrator rights (which include ExtendedAdmins, New Wiki Admins and Founder).

Administrators’ Rights
Administrators have the technical ability to perform the following actions:


 * Block and unblock user accounts and IP addresses from editing
 * Apply, modify, and remove page protection on a particular page to restrict or allow * editing, moving, or creation
 * Delete pages with 5,000 or fewer revisions
 * Grant and revoke user permissions requested by user accounts
 * View and restore deleted pages
 * Restrict and restore public visibility of information in individual logs and page revisions
 * Edit fully protected pages
 * Edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace, excluding JavaScript and CSS pages
 * Override the title blacklist
 * Move a page to any desired title

Getting the right
The WikiGuide has no official requirements to become an administrator. Any registered user can request adminship from the community, regardless of their WikiGuide experience. However, administrators are expected to have the trust and confidence of the community, so requests from users who do not have considerable experience are not usually approved. Any editor can comment on a request, and each editor will assess each candidate in their own way. However, only registered editors can "vote" in such requests.

Before requesting or accepting a nomination, candidates should generally be active, regular, and long-term WikiGuide contributors, be familiar with the procedures and practices of WikiGuide, respect and understand its policies, and have gained the general trust of the community. Candidates are also required to disclose whether they have ever edited for pay. Questions regarding this are permitted to be asked of every candidate, by any editor in the community, throughout the Request for Adminship process.

Adminship is granted indefinitely, and is removed only upon request with more than 50% supporters. Hence, we have servals claims on the request.

Revoking of rights
If an administrator abuses administrative rights, these rights may be removed by voting. At their discretion, lesser penalties may also be assessed against problematic administrators, including the restriction of their use of certain functions or placement on administrative probation. The technical ability to remove the administrator user right from an account is granted to the bureaucrat, and founder user groups (see Special:ListGroupRights). In emergency situations where local users are unable or unavailable to act, founder are permitted by the global rights policy to protect the best interests of WikiGuide by removing administrative permissions or globally locking accounts.

New Wiki Administrators
The group New Wiki Administrators is created because of the consideration of the number of participators of this project. As WikiGuide is a new wiki, we want to have more users to improve this wiki on this project. They are granted most of the rights as normal administrators, but with the right “Protecting Page” and “edit user rights” is not granted. Also, the right will be automatically revoked if they have no edits in the following three months.

Requirements
You should at least having 10 edits to the guides and also having 3-4 days of experience. Please feel free to request it at WikiGuide:Request for Permissions to after you meet the requirements, and make sure you post the reason there.

Revoking of Rights
This right is normally granted for 1 week at first to make sure you are using correctly of the tools. Then, it will be granted infinitely. Your rights will also be revoked by a Bureaucrat without further noticing or voting if you done the following actions:
 * 1) Inappropriate use of the tool. For example blocking users just because the user arguing with you.
 * 2) You used it for vandalism, or you are already got blocked because of violating our Blocking policy.
 * 3) Having no edits for three months.
