Gonkipedia:Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. For full details, visit Gonkipedia:User titles.

The following is an explanation of the function of administrators, as well as bureaucrats and staff (who have administrator powers).

Administrator abilities
These additional functions include:
 * Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
 * Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing, and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

Bureaucrat abilities
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. However, they are not currently able to remove admin access from any user; please contact one of the community team if you need that done.

Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith.

Staff and Janitors
Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Wikia janitors have limited administrator access to all Wikia for cleanup purposes. These users will be shown on Special:Listusers/janitor on any Wikia. Please see Help:Contacting Wikia for details on how to contact Wikia staff.

Who are this wiki's administrators?
For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listusers/sysop.

How do I use administrator powers?
See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Becoming an administrator
Administrator positions are not open on Gonkipedia. See Gonkipedia:User titles for more information on additional responsibilities available to users.

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. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
