Current Halopedia Administrators:

Angela, Splarka, and several others are Wikia staff who frequently visit Halopedia. They have sysop rights to every wiki in the network. See this category for a complete list of Wikia staff. NOTE: Please do not message them about local issues. The above Administrators will deal with minor problems.

What is an Administrator?

An Administrator, sometimes called a system operator or sysop for short, is a member of the Halopedia community who is charged with maintaining the smooth operation of Halopedia. Administrators alone have the ability to delete pages, protect pages from editing, and block users and IP addresses.

Administrators are essentially the leaders of Halopedia. When you have a problem or question regarding the site, an Administrator will help you any way he or she can.

Can I become an Administrator?

Administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. As Halopedia grows, more administrators may be needed to assist in its operation. Administrator positions can be filled via Requests for Adminship. Halopedia currently supports 5 Admin/Sysops. When one resigns or becomes inactive, the site begins accepting RfAs on that page.
