Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions, and are effectively the "authority" of the wiki.
Administrator abilities
These additional functions include:
- Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
- Locking 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.
Bureaucrats
A bureaucrat refers to a special type of administrator, ranked slightly higher than regular administrators. They have the ability to promote other users into administrators, should the need arise.

Legend
Status | Description |
---|---|
Fully active | These administrators log on frequently to edit and/or browse the wiki. They are the best users to contact. |
Partially active | These administrators don't log on all the time, though are still relatively frequent. |
Away | These administrators are currently away (such as on vacation, etc.), but will return shortly. It's unlikely they will edit or respond to messages, except for rare occasions. |
Excused | For whatever reason, these administrators aren't able to log on to the wiki for an extended period of time. Their inactivity has been excused due to unfortunate circumstances. |
