Green Lantern The Animated Series Wiki:Administrators

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.

As part of adminship, administrators are expected to use their abilities where it is considered necessary. Administrators should also watch the administrator noticeboard whenever they can.

A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. He or she is currently able to remove admin access from any user except those with bureaucrat status; please contact one of the community staff if you need that done.

Wikia Staff have full access to all of Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please see the Central Wikia contact page for details on how to contact Wikia 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.

Currently the only active administrator is User:Atheist723.

How do I use administrator rights?
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 access must make you one. On Green Lantern: TAS Wiki, administrators have previously been appointed when seen fit by a bureaucrat, without any voting process.

Administrators are selected from a pool of the highest quality editors, usually with administration background on other wikis - though the latter is not compulsory.

What should administrators not do?
Administrators should not use their administrator rights 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 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 Wikia community. They are just like any other user.
