| ===What are Administrators?===
| |
| Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, '''administrators''' are trusted users that can access a few additional functions.
| |
| | |
| *Deleting and undeleting pages, uploaded images and page histories.
| |
| *Protecting a page so it can not be edited or moved by anonymous users (autoconfirmed protection) or non-admins (full/sysop protection).
| |
| *Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and quick reversion ("rollback") of undesirable edits.
| |
| *Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins (editing MediaWiki files).
| |
| *Viewing a user's IP addresses and other information.
| |
| *Mark page revisions or users' edits as "patrolled".
| |
| | |
| These functions are solely for housekeeping for keeping Halopedia nice and tidy. The community ''does'' look to administrators to perform the essential chores that require the extra access administrators are entrusted with. However, otherwise, administrators are the same as other users, and are expected to be well-tempered in all respects.

| ===Can I become an Administrator?=== | |
| {{Main|Halopedia:Requests for Adminship}}
| |
| Administrators are typically selected on an as-needed basis only. As Halopedia grows, more administrators may be needed to assist in its operation. New administrators are selected via a Requests for Adminship.
| |
| | |
| ===What are Bureaucrats?===
| |
| {{Main|Halopedia:Bureaucrats}}
| |
| A bureaucrat is simply an administrator that is granted a few extra tools, such as assigning or revoking [[Special:ListGroupRights|user rights]] and renaming user accounts. Typically, bureaucrats are the most senior admins, but this is not always the case.
| |
| | |
| ===What can Administrators not do?=== | |
| Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Administrators should not be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is a regular user who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of Halopedia.
