Rename!
It is suggested that this page should have a different name.
This article/file is a candidate to be moved to Pokémon Wiki:Sysops.
Remember to check what links here and the the page history before changing the name.
Page is not just about the Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of Pokémon Wiki. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, Administrators can access a few additional functions. To see users with current and previous right, see our Hall of Fame.

Administrator abilities

These additional functions are:

  • 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.
  • Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
  • Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
  • Deleting/Undeleting threads and replies on the discussions.
  • Locking/Unlocking threads.
  • Editing/Deleting article comments.
  • Customizing categories on the discussions.

A Bureaucrat can make other users into Bureaucrats or Administrators on their own wiki. However, they is not currently able to remove Bureaucrat access from any other user; please contact one of the community staff if you need that done.

Some Fandom Staff members have full access to all of Fandom/Gamepedia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Helpers have limited Admin access to all Fandom/Gamepedia for cleanup purposes. These users will be shown on Special:Listusers/helper on any wiki. Please see the contact page for details on how to contact Fandom staff.

How do I use Administrator powers?

See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using the Admin functions.

Becoming an Administrator

If you would like to become an Administrator, please do so at requests for user rights page.

How do Admins grant Rollback, Moderator or Admin rights?

Sysops are able to grant the Discussions Moderator and Chat Moderator rights, but Bureaucrats are able to grant the Rollback, Content Moderator or Administrator rights. See User rights management.

What can Administrators not do?

Administrators should not use their admin powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that is not vandalism. Admin 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 Administrator should not be considered "in charge". The ideal Admin is simply someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the wiki. Remember, being an administrator is no big deal.
