Administration Roles

Moderators

Discussion Moderators are users who manage conversations in various features across the community, including comment sections and the new "Discussions" sector. These tools are:
  • Removing and restoring threads and replies from any user. Along with closing and reopening threads.
  • In the Discussions, moderators also have the ability to manage Discussion boards and move threads from one board to another.
  • Deleting blog comments along with editing and deleting article comments.
Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate parts of the community that host the wiki community's content. These tools are:
  • Deleting and moving protected pages
  • Deleting and moving files
  • Undeleting pages and files
  • Rollback - reverting one users edits to a previous users edit. This is used to remove spam or unclear information.
  • Protecting and unprotecting pages
  • Patrol pages through the RecentChanges

Administrators

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
  • A faster "rollback" of undesirable edits.
  • Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
  • Appoint and demote moderators.

Staff

FANDOM staff members have full access to all Wikis. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff if problems arise in a community that the current administrative team are not solving or are causing. These users will have a special "Staff" tag in the header of their profile. Other staff tags to look for are "Content Team Member" and "VSTF".

Becoming an Administrator

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must appoint you one.

We usually look for trusted users that possess the dedication, drive, time, and abilities to successfully contribute and maintain a wiki. These users must have detailed knowledge of the wikis source content, have multiple good faith contributions, and have no outstanding blocks held against them. Users also must establish themselves as long-standing members who can respectfully engage with users and admins. They must be willing to communicate openly with other members of the community, especially other site managers.

Most of the time, rights are earned, not simply asked for and especially not demanded.

What Can't the Administrative Team Do?

Administrators should not abuse their abilities; for example, blocking users over petty excuses or edits made in good faith. Their abilities 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. The team also cannot solve disagreements that extend beyond the wiki or globally block users.

Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff if problems arise in the community that the current administrative team aren't able to solve.
