See Fandom's community user rights for a guide on using admin functions.

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 staff members have full access to all Wikis. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact to contact Fandom staff if problems arise in a community that the current administrative team are not solving or are causing.

The Pretty Little Liars Wiki currently has a Community Manager: Barneymiller123abc, whose role is managing and growing Fandom’s relationship with the community, by being there to provide support where they can, deliver information about what’s happening at Fandom, solicit feedback, and more. They should not be contacted for intervention in arguments or disagreements with admins - please use Special:Contact to solve disputes that cannot be otherwise solved.

Becoming an Administrator

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. This includes Fandom Staff or contractors such as Wiki Specialists.

The PLL Wiki has an active and trusted team of individuals who work together to select candidates for any and all roles within the team. These selections can be made as a group or offered individually as they see editors who meet the criteria. All decisions must be unanimous and are not made without input from all active members. Most of the time, user rights are upgraded when earned, but past experience and reputation does factor into the granting of rights.

The PLL Wiki team reserves the right to promote, demote, or remove rights as we see fit and in accordance with our policies. We pride ourselves on being many users first venture into moderation or adminship, so we don't require history in either field, though a healthy past on Fandom is required. Below is a list of basic criteria (not all are explicitly written or detailed) needed for rights on the PLL Wiki:

1. A steady rate of activity with a minimum of three months activity on the main space. Even though the series is not actively airing or publishing, the wiki is vast and requires active editors to maintain, create, and moderate content. This must be reflected in our team members.
2. Significant edit count. We don't put a number on the amount of edits needed as we value quality over quantity, but double-digits or more is suggested.
3. 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.
4. A proficient knowledge of two or more PLL-based IP. We do not require moderators/admins to know everything about the franchise, but an above-average knowledge of at least one show or the books is required. You also must have seen the entirety of the show in question.
5. Complete understanding of policies, especially the Layout Guide.
6. Never been blocked for serious infractions on the PLL Wiki such as harassing, bullying, intimidating behavior, chronic/gross trolling, or repeated breaking of our layout guide. The PLL Wiki understands users are real people who grow and evolve, so we leave room for people to fix their mistakes. Minor bans (such as adding low quality images/videos, creating one or two fanon pages, or adding nonsense to pages) will not be held against prospective candidates. We do not consider blocks on other wikis when granting rights unless the infractions are severe.
7. 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.
8. Willing to interact with users. This includes but is in no way limited too: users who are looking for help or asking questions, solving edit wars, and deescalating disagreements between users. The wiki does have a Wiki Specialist on the team who can help mitigate issues, so you aren't expected to manage major incidents alone.

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.

Removal of Rights

Voted into policy on December 28, 2024.

If it is believed that privileges are being abused, misused, or unused by a team member, the following process should be applied.

1. Communicate with them. Try to talk it out and come to an agreement.
2. If attempts at communication fail, bring this to the attention of another administrator and/or bureaucrat to mediate. In absence thereof, reach out to the assigned Wiki Representative or Fandom Staff.
3. Removal of admin rights will be considered by the active team members. If a decision to remove admin rights is taken, a reasoning with must be provided in order to satisfy a standard of accountability. One or more of the following must be shown:

• Sustained, deliberate misuse of the privileges given
• Sustained failure to follow the code of conduct in their entirety
• Sustained failure to follow the conduct guidelines outlined further above
• Sustained failure to use their administrative duties in a way that benefits the community

Administrators should remain active to assist the wiki. In cases of prolonged inactivity, removal of user rights may be considered by an the active team members based on the needs of the community. Admins are expected to have an activity level of 10 or more edits per month and have exercised their admin privileges at least once in that time frame. If an admin and/or moderator is inactive for longer than six months without a reasonable explanation, they automatically forfeit their rights.

Code of Conduct

All admins are expected to have read and comply with Fandom's Admin Code of Conduct policy.
