Introduction
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:
- 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.
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. He or she is not able to remove bureaucrat access from any user; please contact one of the community staff if you need that done.
Some Wiki staff members have full access to all Wiki. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please see the Central Wiki contact page for details on how to contact Wiki staff.
Who are this wiki's administrators?
The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listusers/sysop.
The list of Wiki Gaming administrators is also on this page.
How do I use administrator powers?
See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.
Becoming an administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat/staff access must make you one. On larger Wiki, there will usually be a community page for requests; on this wiki, it's "Codex Gamicus:Admin_nominations". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the community portal or forum, or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.
If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to become an administrator, please see the Adoption Requests page on the Central Wiki.
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 use 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 Wiki community.

Playing Power Forward at a towering 8'4", AlphaTwo is a titan among mortals, who's trademark "Double-pump windmill fake out" slam dunk sends waves of fear across the court. Averaging 45 points a game, AlphaTwo is an MVP amongst the administrative team. Off the court, he is known for his genorosity to kittens, and saving of countries.
