Administrators
, also called
sysops
, are active and regular
Wikipedians
who have access to technical features that help with maintenance. Administrators are expected to respect and be familiar with Wikipedia policy as they are known and trusted members of the community. They can protect and delete pages, block other editors, and undo these actions as well. By default, these privileges are granted indefinitely and are only removed under exceptional circumstances involving high level intervention (see
Administrator abuse
below).

Requests for adminship
In the very early days of Wikipedia, all users functioned as administrators, and in principle they still should. Any user can behave in a way befitting an administrator (provided they do not falsely claim to be one), even if they have not been given the extra administrative functions. From early on, it has been pointed out that administrators should never develop into a special subgroup of the community but should be a part of the community like anyone else. However, they are equipped with a few more tools to do some chores that would potentially be harmful if everyone were entrusted with them. Over time, standards to getting appointed administrator have risen, but there are still several administrators created every week.
The community
does
look to administrators to perform essential housekeeping chores that require the extra access administrators are entrusted with. Among them are watching the
Articles for deletion debates
and carrying out the consensus of the community on keeping or deleting these articles, keeping an eye on new and changed articles to swiftly delete
obvious
vandalism, and meeting user requests for help that require administrative access. Since administrators are expected to be experienced members of the community, users seeking help will often turn to an administrator for advice and information. In general, administrators acting in this role are
neutral
. They do not have any direct involvement in the issues they are helping people with.

Wikipedia:Editing the main page
. You can suggest changes at

lot
of vandalism; protecting it is an unfortunate compromise to keep our welcome mat free of random profanity.
Protect and unprotect pages, with different kinds of protection against editing by certain classes of users, and page moving. Pages are generally protected rarely and temporarily; for information and guidelines, see
Wikipedia:Protection policy
and
Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy
Deletion and undeletion
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Delete pages, including images, and their history. For information and guidelines, see both
Wikipedia:Deletion policy
and (most definitely)
Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators
. To suggest a page for deletion (
after
reading the policy and guidelines pages!), see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion
. Sometimes deletion is a technical matter, in which a redirection page has to be removed to make way for renaming an article, or a page whose history has been broken up has to be deleted and the pieces recombined. Other times it's a matter of cleaning up simple junk edits on pages with no actual content, or removing material that has been pasted in from another site and infringes
View and restore deleted pages, including images, and their history. See
Wikipedia:Viewing and restoring deleted pages by sysops
for guidelines. To challenge an already made decision to delete a page, see
Wikipedia:Deletion review
Block and unblock
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time or indefinitely.
Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.
See
Wikipedia:Blocking policy
for more information on when blocks are appropriate and when they are not. See
Special:Ipblocklist
for currently blocked addresses and usernames
Reverting
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Revert
pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version. Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism. When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [
rollback
] – appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with an
edit summary
of
(Reverted edits by X to last version by Y)
and marks it as a minor change. One-click rollback is only intended for vandalism, spam, etc.; if reverting over disputed content, it should be done manually with an appropriate edit summary.
Enforcement of Arbitration Committee rulings
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Administrators have the authority to enforce rulings by the
Arbitration Committee

Keeping vandalism out of recent changes
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Administrators can exclude bulk vandalism from
ᐱᒋᕗᖅ ᐊᓯᐊᙳᑐᖅ
(recent changes). To do this, add
&bot=1
to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example,
. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display. (The
bot
marker was originally added to keep massive
bot
edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot".) This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set
hidebots=0
. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should
not
be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.
Design and wording of the interface
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Admins can change the
text
of the interface by editing the pages in the
MediaWiki namespace
. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:Whatlinkshere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page (
MediaWiki:Blockedtext
).
Admins can edit the
style
of the interface by changing the
CSS
in the monobook stylesheet at
MediaWiki:Monobook.css
Admins can edit some of the site-wide and skin-specific
JavaScript
of the software at places like
MediaWiki:Monobook.js

ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
There are various other actions which only those with administrator privileges can perform:

If you have been around for a while and you would like sysop access, add your name to
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship
according to the guidelines mentioned there, and a discussion will take place by fellow editors in order to determine if there is consensus that you should become an administrator.
It is recommended that you write for Wikipedia for a while before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognize you before they can agree on trusting you with the tools.
Also keep in mind that each
language's Wikipedia
has its own policies for administrators, which may differ somewhat.
Although
multiple user accounts
are allowed on Wikipedia in certain circumstances, only one should have admin powers beyond being an editor.
Be careful, please!
If you are granted access, you must exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the
Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide
. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the
Administrators' reading list
before using any of your admin abilities.
Places where admins in particular can assist

Other access types
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users. See also
Wikipedia:User access levels

ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Visitors who haven't "signed in" can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with
Wikipedia maintenance tasks
Signed-in users
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Signed-up users can do everything
IP addresses
can do. They can also
upload files
start new articles
and, once they reach the "autoconfirm" threshold, they can
move/rename pages
and edit
semi-protected pages
. See
Special:Userlogin
to sign up.
Bots
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
The edits of users with
bot
status turned on do not show up in
recent changes
, usually only used for mass edits by bots.
Bureaucrats
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Users with "
bureaucrat
" status can turn other users into sysops (but not remove sysop status),
change usernames
, and flag and unflag
bots accounts
. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by stewards on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in
Special:Log/rights
or
Wikipedia:Bureaucrat log
for activity prior to December 24, 2004. Sysoppings by stewards are recorded at
Meta:Special:Log/rights
but the few stewards who actively sysop users on the English Wikipedia do so using their local bureaucrat status, making this distinction rather academic.
Stewards
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Users with "
Steward
" status can change the access of any user on any Wikimedia project. This includes granting and revoking sysop access and marking users as bots. Their actions are recorded at
Special:Log/rights on meta
. Requests for their assistance can be made at
m:Requests for permissions
. Normally, they will not perform actions that can be carried out by a local bureaucrat.
Checkusers
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Users with the "
Checkuser
" permission can retrieve the
IP addresses
used by a username and can also retrieve all edits by users using a certain IP or IP range. A log of Checkuser actions is visible to all Checkusers.
Oversights
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
Users with the "
Oversight
" permission can hide revisions of pages from all users. These revisions can temporarily be accessed and reviewed by users with the oversight permission. A log of oversight actions is visible to all Oversights.
Developers
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
The highest degree of technical access (actually a group of levels, the difference between all but the lowest of which isn't really visible to users) is "developer", for those who can make direct changes to the
MediaWiki
software and the Wikimedia wiki farm and databases. These people, by and large, do not carry out administrative functions.
They can be contacted via the
wikitech-l mailing list
. See
m:Developers
for a partial list of developers and further information.
Dealing with grievances
ᐊᓯᔾᔨᖅᑎᖅᐸᖕᒋᑦ ᓴᖅᑯᖅ
If you think an administrator has acted improperly against you or another editor, you should express your concerns directly to the administrator responsible. Try to come to a resolution in an orderly and civil manner. However, if the matter is not resolved between the two parties, you can take further action according to
Wikipedia:Resolving disputes
. See also

Administrators can be removed if they misuse their powers. Currently, administrators may be removed either at the request of
Jimbo Wales
or by a ruling of the
Arbitration Committee
. At their discretion, lesser penalties may also be assessed against problematic administrators, including the restriction of their use of certain powers or placement on administrative probation. The technical ability to remove administrator status rests with
stewards
There have been a number of alternative procedures suggested for the
removal of sysop status
but none of them have achieved
consensus
. Some administrators will voluntarily stand for reconfirmation under certain circumstances; see
