	Administrators are ~~powerful~~ users of this wiki.		Administrators (also called "admins" or "sysops") are users of this wiki entrusted with powerful tools to help run the site.<br />
			Below are a summary of the permissions of both standard users and administrators.

	{{wikipedia\|Wikipedia:Administrators}}		{{wikipedia\|Wikipedia:Administrators}}


			'''Regular users''' are able to:
			* create pages
			* edit pages
			* rename pages
			* clean up vandalism
			* report other problems concerning the wiki to <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:ListUsers\|group=sysop}} administrators listed here]</span>


			'''Administrators''' are able to perform these actions as well as:
			* edit otherwise restricted pages
			* delete pages
			** view or restore pages from the 'deleted pages' hidden archive
			* combat vandalism
			** quickly undo the most recent edits a single user has made to any page
			** protect or un-protect pages depending on how often they are targeted for vandalism
			** block users that vandalise repeatedly
			** take further actions to combat spam and vandalism

			At first glance this would appear to be an unfair distribution of power, but it's just the [[Wikipedia:Principle of least privilege\|Principle of least privilege]]. Regular users are allowed to clean up vandalism and thereby protect the wiki, but administrators often concern themselves with dealing with spammers, abusive editors, and technical matters.<br />
			Administrators still have to follow the rules of the community.
