Introduction

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on this site - including reading and editing - only users with roles can access a few additional functions:

  • Deleting and restoring 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

Some Fandom staff members have full access to all Fandom.

What Do Roles Mean?

Content moderators are quasi-administrators, with the ability to delete and undelete pages, roll back edits, and semi-protect pages.

Administrators are users on the Kinnikuman Wiki with sysop (system operator) user access levels. This includes the ability to delete and undelete pages, roll back edits, protect and unprotect pages, block and unblock users, and edit the site's interface. Administrators are a group entrusted with maintenance tools.

Wiki Representatives are local Fandom Staff who are liaisons to global Fandom Staff and have user access levels above administrators. One Wiki Representative is assigned to each wiki. A Wiki Rep performs tasks at the request of the local community, but they are not treated as local administrators, and do not override them except to intervene against abuse of power.

Who are Our Administrators?

Administrators

Wiki Representative

This wiki does not currently have a wiki representative.

We thank Stygies VIII for all their hard work as our former wiki representative, and wish them luck on all their future projects. We will update this section and our community if/when a new wiki representative is appointed.

What Can't Administrators Do?

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes.

They cannot lock a page to a version they prefer in an editing dispute (in which vandalism is not a factor).

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 good faith. Ideally, an administrator shouldn't be considered "in charge".

The ideal administrator has a few extra abilities, but uses them to benefit the community.
