Plants vs. Zombies Wiki:Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can execute most actions on wikis, administrators can access a few additional functions.

Administrators
Administrators have access to four main features.
 * Deletion. Deleting and restoring articles, histories, and files.
 * Protection. Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocks. Blocking users from editing on a local wiki.
 * Interface. Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

Bureaucrats
A bureaucrat can promote and demote users, awarding or revoking administrator, bureaucrat, chat moderator, or rollback rights.

Staff
Wikia staff members have full access to all of Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact 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.

Additionally, on, administrators are color-coded.

Administrators
Any user with a * next to their name is inactive.

How do I use administrator powers?
See Help: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 this wiki, the current administrators may decide to promote active users if there are not enough active admins. If you want to request adminship, please contact an active administrator to discuss it.

If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to become an administrator or adopt the wiki, please contact the community staff. If there are other active editors but no active bureaucrats/admins, you should first discuss with them on who should become an admin, whether it be one of you, or all of you.

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 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.
