View source for Growtopia Wiki:Administrators

__NOTOC__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.

These additional functions include:
*Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
*Locking ([[{{ns:project}}:Protected page|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; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
*Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

The current administrators of the Growtopia Wiki are:
*[[User:Awesome187|Awesome187]]
*[[User:Bambam Bot|Bambam Bot]] (bot account)
*[[User:BlueDwarf|BlueDwarf]]
*[[User:Librarian Bird|Librarian Bird]]
*[[User:LightSwitch|LightSwitch]]
*[[User:NekoPillow|NekoPillow]]
*[[User:Nenkai|Nenkai]]
*[[User:Vijuki|Vijuki]]

See [[Help:Administrators' how-to guide]] for a guide on using admin functions.

==Bureaucrat==
A '''bureaucrat''' has all the abilities of an administrator, and can also make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in [[w:Assume good faith|good faith]]. The current bureaucrats of the Growtopia Wiki are:

*[[User:Awesome187|Awesome187]]
*[[User:Librarian Bird|Librarian Bird]]
*[[User:LightSwitch|LightSwitch]]

==Wiki founder==
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.

==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 Fandom staff.

==Becoming an administrator==
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. [[{{ns:project}}:Requests for adminship|A community page]] exists for such requests. You may also ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for adminship" page to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats.  Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the [https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Adoption:Requests wiki adoption requests page], and Fandom staff can provide the rights.

==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 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 [[w:Assume good faith|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 entire community.
