Administration Roles
Moderators
Discussion Moderators are users who manage conversations in various features across the community where users are having social discussions. These tools are:
|
Content Moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate parts of the community that host the wiki community's content. These tools are:
|
Administrators
These additional functions include:
- Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
- Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
- Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing
- Very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
- Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
- Appoint and demote chat and forum thread moderators (with bureaucrats' approval).
Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are one step up from administrators but share most of the abilities an administrator has. They are, in ways, the head of their wikia.
Bureaucrats are also given the ability to make any other user on their wiki a moderator, administrator, and a bureaucrat. Other than that, they can also upgrade other users with a series of tools and abilities, if earned. Bureaucrats can also demote these rights if they are executed poorly or inappropriately.
Staff
FANDOM, powered by Wikia, staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff if problems arise in a community that the current administrative team are not solving or are causing.
Becoming an Administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one, which includes FANDOM Staff.
Bureaucrats usually look for trusted users that possess the dedication, drive, time, and abilities to successfully contribute and maintain a wikia. These users must have hundreds if not thousands of contributions, but quality matters more than quantity. They must establish themselves as long-standing members who can respectfully engage with users and admins.
Most of the time, rights are earned, not simply asked for and especially not demanded. Bureacrats will determine when and who to upgrade to adminship.
If there are no active bureaucrats or administrators, create a Discussions page to determine a community consensus. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and FANDOM Staff can provide the rights (if the eligibility requirements are met).
List of requirements:
- Have an extensive knowledge of the PLL universe. We do not require you to know the book series, but knowledge of at least two or more shows in the universe is required.
- Be an active editor for at least three months. You must edit multiple times a week on the main space.
- Have a good knowledge of Fandom and wiki editing. This includes hyper links, categories, layouts, and a working knowledge of templates. You do not need to be an expert in any of these subjects, but it is helpful.
- Never been banned for a serious infraction. This includes harassment, bullying, trolling, inserting false information, or adding fanfiction. The PLL Wiki understands users are real people who grow and evolve, so we leave room for people to fix their mistakes. Minor bans will not be held against prospective candidates.
- Be engaging with the community. Being an admin isn't just about adding content, it requires a good relationship with users and editors. If you're not sure where to start, reach out to another editor and say good job, ask questions, start Discussions threads, or make comments on articles.
What Can't the Administrative Team Do?
Administrators should not abuse their administrator powers; for example, blocking users over petty excuses or edits made in good faith. Administrators on this wiki aren't allowed to bully or intimidate other users by any means. 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. 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 community.
Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff if problems arise in the community that the current administrative team are not solving or are causing.
