Half-Life Wiki:Administration

Administrators
Administrators, sometimes called system operators or sysops for short, are members of the community charged with maintaining the smooth operation of the wiki. They can protect pages, ban users and IPs, and delete pages and images from the system. Administrators are considered by some to be the "leaders" of the site, for lack of a better term.

When you have a problem or question regarding the site, an Administrator will help you any way he or she can.

Angela, Splarka, Uberfuzzy and several others are Wikia staff who frequently visit this Wiki. They have sysop rights to every wiki in the network. See this category for a complete list of Wikia staff. NOTE: Please do not message them about local issues. The above Administration will deal with minor problems.

Becoming an administrator
Administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. As the project grows, more administrators may be needed to assist in its operation. There are no official criteria to become an administrator, however there are a few basic guidelines. When an administrator is needed, one will be selected from the rest of the users. To be appointed, the user must:


 * have an account on Combine OverWiki for some time
 * be an active contributor
 * know how a wiki works
 * have no history of vandalism or abuse

Bureaucrats
A bureaucrat is an administrator with the additional responsibilities of granting (and revoking) rollback permissions and promoting users to Administrator.

Current bureaucrats
While the wiki has counted other bureaucrats in the past, the wiki currently has two, Klow and MattyDienhoff.
