What is a Bureaucrat?
A Bureaucrat, a member of the community who is charged with maintaining the smooth operation of the Wiki. Bureaucrats can give/revoke rollback and promote users to Administrators. They can protect pages, ban users and IPs, and delete pages from the system. Bureaucrats hold more overall power than Administrators.

There is only one Bureaucrat, Donut THX 1138. As he adopted the site after it fell into inactivity and chaos.

Can I become a Bureaucrat?
No. The average user will never become a Bureaucrat. The Bureaucrat of a site is the head Administrator, the site leader. The Bureaucrat is usually the founder of the site, or someone of equal importance.

What is an Administrator?
An Administrator, sometimes called a system operator or sysop for short, is a member of the community who is charged with maintaining the smooth operation of the Wiki. Administrators alone have the ability to delete pages, protect pages from editing, and block users and IP addresses.

Administrators are essentially the leaders of Half-Life Wiki. When you have a problem or question regarding the site, an Administrator will help you any way he or she can.

Can I become an Administrator?
Administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. As Halopedia 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 who:


 * Have an account on Half-Life Wiki for some time
 * Is an active contributor
 * Has no history of vandalism or abuse

Again, Administrators are only selected when one is needed. When this occurs, the current Admins will let the rest of the users know. Until then, it is safe to assume that Half-Life Wiki is operating smoothly as it is.
