Terraria Wiki:Administrators

From Terraria Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Administrators, commonly known as admins or sysops (system operators), are Terraria Wiki editors who have been granted the technical ability to perform certain special actions on the Terraria Wiki. These include the ability to block and unblock user accounts from editing, edit protected pages, protect and unprotect pages from editing, delete and undelete pages, rename pages without restriction, and use certain other tools.

Administrators assume these responsibilities as volunteer editors. They do not act as employees of wiki.gg or Re-Logic. They are never required to use their tools, but must use them fairly if they do so and must never use them to gain an advantage in a dispute in which they were involved.

Administrators' edits should not carry more weight than any other editors' unless it is a correction based on policy, which should be noted in the edit summary. Administrators are expected to be available to the community through the admin noticeboard and through email (the "Email this user" link from their user page), and to be helpful to other members of the community while trying to accomplish community-set goals on the wiki.

Administrators are expected to act as mediators in cases of user disputes, and are expected to act professionally within the editing community. Administrators are encouraged to read the administrators' guide.
