Meta:Administrators
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. The Weird Gloop Meta Wiki's practice is to grant this access to anyone who has been an active and regular contributor for a while, is familiar with and respects Weird Gloop Meta Wiki policy, and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. Administrators do not have any power in-game, as they are not Jagex employees.
The community looks to administrators to perform essential housekeeping chores that require the extra access administrators are entrusted with. Among them are watching the various discussions around the wiki and carrying out the consensus of the community therein, keeping an eye on new and changed articles to swiftly delete vandalism, and meeting requests for help that require administrative access.
Administrators' abilities[edit source]
Administrators have the technical ability to perform the following actions:
- Block and unblock users and IP addresses from editing
- Edit the Global Spam Blacklist
- Edit the Global Title Blacklist
- Edit Global Abusefilters
- Perform other special actions as listed at Special:ListGroupRights
Administrators also take responsibility for determining consensus in discussions. While not a tool, it is still a task only for administrators.
Becoming an administrator[edit source]
If you have been around for a while, other users will notice your good work. If another user notices this work, they may nominate you and add your name to Meta:Requests for adminship. Discussion will then take place by fellow editors in order to determine if there is a consensus that you should become an administrator.
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block users. You may benefit from reading the Administrators' reading list on Wikipedia before using any of your administrative abilities.
Help from administrators[edit source]
Sometimes in the course of editing content on a wiki you need access to some of the special protected functions of an administrator even though you haven't gone through the process of becoming an administrator yet.
For most reasonable requests that will be seen by all of the administrators (instead of just on their individual talk pages), please make a request on Meta:Administrative requests. You can also bring up issues that may require administrator intervention, or perhaps you've simply made a whole bunch of mistakes and may need an experienced editor to help clean up a bunch of pages you've created by mistake.
