'''Administrators''' are Wikisage users who are given extra privileges that make it easier for them to maintain the site.

The only administrator here is Guido den Broeder, but as the needs of the site shift, so does the number of admins shift.


Currently there is no formal process for selecting administrators.
An '''administrator''' (sometimes called admin or moderator) ensures that the [[Wikisage:Users|users]] contribute in an orderly manner. Administrators are connected to a [[Portal:Village|village]] or a [[Wikisage:Supervisor|supervisor]] and therefore work in a limited area. In an emergency, however, an administrator can act anywhere on Wikisage.

An administrator (sometimes called admin or moderator) ensures that the users contribute in an orderly manner. Administrators are connected to a village or a supervisor and therefore work in a limited area. In an emergency, however, an administrator can act anywhere on Wikisage.

Privileges

The extra privileges of an administrator are, in short:

  • protect or unprotect a page;
  • delete or undelete a page, and view deleted pages;
  • block or unblock a user;
  • adjust a number of MediaWiki pages.

Without direction by their village or supervisor, administrators are not allowed to change the content of a protected page, and may only block users for a short while (up to 36 hours).

Assignment

The role of administrator is assigned or removed by a bureaucrat.

Nomination

Users can be nominated for the task of administrator by a village. Administrators can also be directly appointed by a supervisor.

Complaints

Complaints about an administrator can be filed with the village where the administrator works, or on the talk page of the supervisor.
