Wikitech:Administrators

An Administrator is an editor who has the extra ability to:

• Block and unblock other users
• Delete and undelete pages on the site
• Protect and unprotect pages
• Edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace (e.g. MediaWiki:Sidebar)
• View deleted edits of a page
• View any contributions by a user to pages which are deleted.

Administrators have basically the same rights as Content administrators, plus the ability to edit site-wide JS/CSS.

Appointment

Requests for administrator permissions are done via a custom form on Phabricator.
