Book Villains Wiki:Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators have a few additional functions.


 * Deleting and undeleting pages and page histories. Administrators can also delete uploaded files, but cannot undelete them.
 * Locking (protecting) a page so it can not be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
 * Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. They are not currently able to remove bureaucrat access from any user. Please contact one of the community staff if you need this done.

Some Fandom staff members have full access to all Wikis. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any fandom. Please see the Central Wikia contact page for details on how to contact Fandom staff.

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 rights, see Special:Listadmins.

Who are this wiki's administrators?
Since the current admin is not active, we have listed here an active moderator.

Becoming an administrator
To become an administrator, please make good contributions to the wiki, and make sure to follow wiki policies. Users who contribute a lot and don't vandalize or troll will be promoted to thread/content moderator, and if they follow the rules and have admin experience, they may be promoted further.

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. Idealy 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 Fandom community.
