Loathsome Characters Wiki:Administrators

Administrators on Loathsome Characters Wiki are users who are in charge of monitoring the wiki and handling administrative tasks.

Administrator abilities
These additional functions include:
 * Deleting and restoring pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
 * Protecting pages so they cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocking IP addresses or usernames from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
 * Arbitration of issues in the community and forming policies, though the community should be involved in and approve of this process.

If an admin is inactive for three months or longer, they will be demoted.

Bureaucrat abilities
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators and access the ManageWiki tool. This is the highest amount of power any user can hold on a wiki, though in exceptional cases the Miraheze Stewards may be involved to handle serious platform related issues or use advanced rights to handle long term abuse cases.

Who are this wiki's administrators?
For a complete list of users with administrator access and their other roles, see Special:Listusers/sysop.

The following members hold administrator rights on the wiki. Note that Abuse filter is not a proper user, but a special form of bot with administrator rights.

The following users also hold bureaucrat, a right granted alongside administrator to the most trusted users that allows them to manage the wiki's setup and manage who holds administrator title.

Becoming an administrator
In accordance with the reopening terms set by Miraheze Stewards in this discussion, bureaucrats and administrators are an elected position going forward.

Bureaucrats may be elected if:
 * At least ten (10) persons express a supportive view, with an 80% or better net support ratio; and,
 * They have made at least 250 constructive edits to the wiki and been a community member for at least ninety (90) calendar days

Administrators may be elected if:
 * At least ten (10) persons express a supportive view, with a 50% or better net support ratio; and,
 * They have made at least 100 constructive edits to the wiki and been a community member for at least thirty (30) calendar days

There is no formal process to hold an election; it may be instigated by members through blog or discussion topic, and properly overseen by the wiki's administration from there.

If all administrators and bureaucrats are unavailable and inactive, you can hold a local election (as long as it's fair, the process is your discretion) per the policies on Miraheze Meta to get rights.
